About this property

A writer's paradise, this home has had more best selling books written within it's walls than any home on the Mendocino Coast line. An inspiration to authors, the energy at 247 Solstice in Sea Ranch is tranquil and still--making it the perfect romantic get away or writer's retreat from the world. Decorated with the ocean in mind, the house is elegant and comfortable all at once. Three bedrooms (one set up for kids with two sets of bunk beds sleeping 4) and one queen guest room and one California King, this 2500 square foot home is perfect for one to two couples and four kids. With chairs and sitting areas to fall back into in every corner, the home is the ideal respite to grab a book and disappear into it's pages. A perfect setting to enjoy all of the amenities of coastal living at it's best, a short walk from a sauna and heated pool plus tennis courts. The private sea ranch foot path is just off the deck, and stretches for about 13 miles up and down one of the most gorgeous cliff-side coastlines in the world. Walk-on beach is a mere ten minute trek, but there's no need to go further than the front room for full enjoyment of a spectacular view to watch the whales go by from the couch.
Additional guest fee for more than 2 persons will be $50.00 per night per guest.

Warm, beautiful home with incredible views in Sea Ranch

This is our third stay at this house; we keep coming back because it's a beautiful home right on the water and filled with the things you need for a good trip. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked, and the home is clean (smells clean and looks clean!). Every time we visit there are small improvements to see: a new rug here, a new grill outside. Just a great home!

idyllic oceanfront setting

wonderful location a few steps from the bluff trail, great deck with fabulous ocean views. very comfortable, well appointed home -- lots of great spots to curl up with a book, including window nooks with sweeping ocean and coastal views -- and well-stocked kitchen. Carole, the property manager, was very helpful. hope to be able to return!

Stunning Views, Peaceful Home

The location of this welcoming home has direct access to the Coastal Trail and stunning views of the ocean. The property is ideally situated: views, easy access to recreational facilities, a golf course and the coastal path. The interior is pristine, open, welcoming and comfortable. We enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, relaxing hours reading, and appreciating the area's peacefulness and natural beauty.

Gorgeous and Tranquil property - perfect Sea Ranch getaway

My husband and I have been going up to Sea Ranch annually for the past four years and this was our first time staying right on the coast and at the Carlson house. We brought up our family to spend the new year's weekend there and they were delighted. The view is unprecedented - waves crash on the rocks just in front of the property and the window nook has a beautiful view down the jagged coastline. The house is well designed and in good condition. The cream carpet was a little daunting and we kept shoes off as instructed, which we also do in our own home, but is definitely necessary given the rain and that it is often a little wet up there when we go during the winter. There are ample games to play, a fully stocked kitchen, a fireplace, a wonderful large couch and daybed in the living room for plenty of seating - all things that make for a cozy stay. Definitely recommend this property and we are very grateful that the owner opened it up for others to enjoy.
