Beachfront holiday rental in Gualala, Mendocino County

My family enjoyed our weekend trip to the lake! We enjoyed being in the backyard and brought our paddleboard to enjoy the lake! My husband did some fishing and we stayed in most of the time. Would definitely come again!

We absolutely loved our time here. Everything was so well taken care of inside their home and you simply cannot beat the view. It's stunning. We appreciated the dog -friendliness and wonderful location as well.

The River View House was wonderful! Very quiet and peaceful - great for the 7 guests we brought. The river was fun for a quick dip once in a while. The home was clean and spacious. Plenty of linens, towels, and kitchen dishes for us. Nancy was super responsive and helpful. We are planning to come back to the same rental again! We didn’t add on the studio, but likely will next time if we have more guests or more than 2 couples.

The place is fabulous so clean with beautiful views everywhere. We didn’t want to leave. Lisa is an amazing hostess and wonderful person. I will definitely go again.

this is the second time I've come to the Cinderella house. I love the privacy and expanse of space. The path to the beach is my favorite thing as well as the fabulous views of both the ocean and Big River. The house is very comfortable too! Will definitely be back!

We loved it here it was such a beautiful place huge backyard and front yard my dog loved both of them we walk to the beach it was nice it was a bit of a walk we plan on making this a yearly trip!!

Watching multiple species of raptor patrol the banks of the Russian River was awe-inspiring

We loved the entire property. the kids and dogs played ball in the front yard and the fire pit was amazing for smores. The gas fire pit on the porch was great for watching the sunset over the ocean. We all enjoyed the hot tub. Being dog friendly was so important to our family. We loved the pool at the community center, the beaches and the Skunk train. Great birthday celebration house.

If you appreciate location, this beautiful home on the north end of the Sea Ranch is for you. While the house might be a little bit older, there was plenty of room and the views can’t be beat.

We really enjoyed our short stay at this home. The ocean views are as-advertised and the house was clean and comfortable. It's a short walk to the bluffs trail where the views are fantastic. There are immediate neighbors on both sides of the home but when you are inside or sitting out on the back deck, it seems very private. We did have an issue with the hot tub not heating up, but VACASA responded immediately to my text message and offered to have someone come check it out that day. We found it to be a nice quiet place where we could easily relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the California coast.

We had a fantastic memorial weekend. The house is MUCH nicer in person than what is sold in pictures. The view is stunning, the kitchen is stocked with all sorts of appliances, and the neighborhood is beautiful. 10/10!

Casa Balena was a joy! Beautiful location (you can’t go wrong with Sea Ranch), good amenities (both at the house and the community), and so peaceful. The house was well stocked with everything you might need, including dishes/cookware in the kitchen. My family (a group of six, including a young child, two teenagers, two parents, and a grandparent) was very comfortable; lots of room, plenty of games on hand, etc. A great stay!

Nate and Nora’s beach property is so peaceful and rejuvenating. We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and couldn’t have picked a more idyllic spot. The wildflowers were in full bloom and the seals busy with their pups. So beautiful!

Beautiful and super clean house in the magical woods. We loved the window seats everywhere and watching the deer visit every day. The beds are very comfy and towels plush. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub under the stars. Some aspects of the house are a little more rustic than modern, but still very comfortable and cozy. The owner is super responsive and thoughtful and obviously cares a lot about her home.

Craig and Willa’s place was a wonderful spot to experience Sea Ranch for the first time. The living space was beautiful and comfortable. We loved that the home felt true to the essence of Sea Ranch and retains a lot of special architectural details. The kitchen is well set up for cooking. Walk-on beach is only a short walk away, as is the incredible bluff walk. We highly recommend a stay at Craig and Willa’s Sea Ranch home!

Beautiful, well-appointed home at iconic development in spectacular Coastal Sonoma. Very comfortable. Enjoyed walking the bluffs, whale watching and star gazing. Great access to tennis and pool in community rec center. No shopping nearby so remember to stock up on supplies before arriving.

What a fantastic stay! We’ve been visiting Mendocino for years and can’t believe it took us so long to find Mary’s place. Superb location…super spacious and well equipped. Views couldn’t be any better and so convenient to the local shops and restaurants. Hope to stay there again.

Such a beautiful, secluded stay. We brought all our food and cooked in the well stocked kitchen and outdoor grill. We loved the pool table and piano upstairs. The beach is stunning. And the view — second to none! Can’t wait to return.

The views from the decks and rooms are amazing - even better than the photos. This location is wonderful too and very quiet. I took a walk each morning up the hill and into the Jenner Headlands Preserve - highly recommended. We were lucky to have great weather and thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the lower deck on the outdoor sofas under an umbrella for shade. We didn't use the hot tub, but it is a nice touch to have one. The beds were very comfortable, and the downstairs bed has a nice view out the window. The house is older, so the bathrooms are small. We used the washer and drier once and they worked well. The kitchen was well stocked and there are games and puzzles available as well. Toni was a fantastic host - very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this place and hope to return one day.

A magical Mendocino stay. My family and I always enjoy our time in this cute seaside village. Delightful views and great location to explore the area and trails.

Great place. Big, nice, clean, quiet, comfortable. All amenities you need. Kitchen is great. Good shower. Comfortable beds. Beautiful view. On the water. Super convenient if you have a kayak or canoe. Host was great. Super communicative, friendly, flexible. Small things: The garage entrance is small and dicey, esp with a big car. I couldn't find the volume buttons on the TV remote (maybe I'm just getting old). The jacuzzi doesn't feel super private. Wish it had a bathtub. All these are small things and don't really detract. Highly recommended. Will definitely stay here again.

We had a family and friends gathering and Christine’s place was perfect. We loved the proximity to the bluffs and views of the ocean in the distance. Clean, comfortable, beautiful kitchen, spacious indoors and out. We highly recommend this place!

Location. Location. Location. The house was in the perfect spot with the best view from the living room and the patio. Just gorgeous. The house was beautifully constructed with great amenities and everything we needed for a lovely weekend. Heated floors were a nice surprise and def a plus! Loved everything about our stay, will be back soon.

Beautiful house with breathtaking views of the ocean. Hosts were very nice, the hot tub did not work during our stay and they partially refunded us for the inconvenience. Would recommend staying here for a very relaxing and comfortable sea ranch experience.
