About this property
Modern Sea Ranch home with hot tub & ocean views near Shell Beach
Summary:
Your deck doubles as a whale-watching station during migration season at this ocean-view retreat. Soak in the hot tub as the sun dips below the Pacific. Step outside to a deck overlooking the ocean. Room for 4 in this 2-bedroom home. Just a 11-minute walk to Shell Beach tidepools. Your front door opens to Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails and the wild Sonoma Coast. Morning coffee tastes different when the view is the Pacific -- and it never gets old.
The Space:
If pure Modern coastal home is what you are after, look no further than SeaRenity, your own slice of California living. Located on the west side of Highway 1 and offering breathtaking views of the ocean from its entire interior and exterior, this home is secluded and peaceful. You can feel the sense of calm right when you step foot on the property, as the park-like backyard offers a space for kids to play soccer and frisbee. Keep your eye out for wildlife in the wooded area, home to deer, rabbits, and California quail! Best of all, the side yard has a private hot tub that sits on the striking deck, so you will know exactly where to go to view the unmatched sunsets of the West Coast. Don't hesitate to venture out for days of hiking, biking, beach-going, tennis, fishing, canoeing or kayaking, and swimming.
When you find a bit of downtime, the house's interior has an easy, spacious design filled with modern furnishings and tasteful decor. The large dining room has a grand table and chairs with a view of the ocean when mealtimes come around, and the striking full kitchen has you covered when you feel like whipping up anything from a quick snack to a gourmet meal. The living area has a large TV, comfortable couch, and seating for the whole family.

The Neighborhood:
Stretching along ten miles of the Sonoma Coast, The Sea Ranch offers a rare blend of coastal wilderness and thoughtfully designed homes.

Getting Around:
The drive from San Francisco is approximately 2.5 hours via Highway 101 to Highway 1. Fly into Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, about 1.5 hours east, and rent a car. The Highway 1 drive along the coast is spectacular and worth building into your travel day.
Other Things to Note:
Streaming is available with guests' own accounts.
The woodstove is not operational. And, if you need to get a bit of remote work done while away, the high-speed WiFi and lofted office have you covered!
Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.
Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.
Whale watching season runs from December through April -- grab the binoculars and watch for gray whale spouts from your window. Spring (April-June) brings a wildflower show across the coastal meadows -- lupine, poppies, and iris paint the landscape. Summer (June-September) brings the warmest days and longest light. Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday.

Wonderful stay at SeaRenity
The situation of the house is pretty great. You can't hear the highway and you have an expansive view of the ocean. The kitchen is well appointed. The bed was very comfortable. The hot tub is fantastic and the main shower is very large.

Loved SeaRenity
This is a gorgeous home with so many terrific amenities! We loved every moment in this lovely rental property ... and the Vacasa staff were wonderful and responsive on the couple of small things we needed their attention about ... such a great vacation!
This home is BEAUTIFUL!
So many windows and views of the ocean. The home is as pictured and definitely exceeded our expectations.
Some highlights include soaking in the hot tub with a view, seal watching and being so close to the bluff trail.
Would definitely return for another visit.

Everything we were looking for
We were disappointed when our usual vacation rental was booked out for the dates we wanted to travel. We found this sweet place instead, and were pleasantly surprised. It's a beautiful place in a beautiful and quiet spot. The hot tub was perfect! Thanks so much, we'll be back.

Even more beautiful than the photos!
This home is STUNNING. The architecture and design elements add to the fact that there are windows everywhere with a view of the ocean. I whale watched from the dining room table!! Soaking in the hot tub staring at the ocean and hiking trails in Sea Ranch were big highlights.

Lovely location and house. But come prepared
Great location. Lovely view of the ocean.
But you have to come prepared. It was missing basic amenities that we expect in such an expensive rental. No oil, coffee, tea or tea strainers. Exactly two wine glasses.

Hello Siddharth, pantry items like oils and spices are not usually stored in the home for sanitary purposes. We encourage our guests to bring any food-related items they may need during their visit. We look forward to hosting you for a great stay in the future.

Amazing view of the ocean
My family loved the view and location. The house has beautiful ceilings and great storage. Internet access was strong for Zoom calls, too. The hot tub is huge, with ocean views during the day and the stars at night. The scratchy bedding and towels, though, were an unhappy surprise. These weren't up to par (they irritated my family's skin a lot) and felt very cheap. And for other renters, note that BOTH fireplaces/woodstoves are not for renter use, not just the one in the primary bedroom. We also reached out to Vacasa about another minor issue.

Great Location Nice Layout, Kitchen needs updates
Lovely home with wonderful and peaceful oceans views. Well suited for a family with older children and for teleworking. Kitchen was functional, but the absence of a garbage disposal and cooking fan were both perplexing and impractical. The beautiful sub zero refrigerator and absence of enough silverware for more than one meal without having to wash utensils was an annoyance that could easily be avoided in such a spectacular home. The home was clean inside, but could use a good cobweb cleaning of the outside windows as many were visible throughout the home. Knowing the above we would still return but hope improvements can be made.
