OVERVIEW

Large oceanfront home with hot tub, shared pool, & large deck - dogs welcome

Indulge in stunning indoor and outdoor spaces at this Sea Ranch home, an expansive oceanfront property that offers a private hot tub with breathtaking views, a large courtyard and deck, and direct access to the trails and beaches that make this coastal community so special. Gorgeously situated to face the Pacific Ocean, the rocky cliffs, and the scenic Bluff Trail, this two-level retreat is just one mile south of the Sea Ranch Golf Links. You'll also be less than two miles north of Walk On Beach, three miles north of Shell Beach, and three miles south of Gualala, where you'll find a charming selection of art galleries, restaurants, grocery stores, and shops.

With a spacious floor plan and truly spectacular ocean views, this peaceful home is an ideal escape for your next family holiday or couples' getaway to the Northern California Coast. Your vacation begins in the great room, where exposed beams create a wonderfully rustic atmosphere and solarium-style windows bring the magnificent outdoors in. Turn on the gas fireplace each morning as you read the newspaper on the sofa, or use the telescope to watch for whale spouts on the horizon. The immaculate open kitchen enjoys the same panoramic ocean views and features modern appliances to make meal preparation a pleasure. Lay out appetizers and wine on the kitchen counter, gather for dinner around the dining room table, and leave the post-meal clean-up for the dishwasher. Spend a relaxing morning at home playing a board game, using the WiFi to work in the office, or reading in the comfort of the library as the stereo plays in the background. Once the morning fog melts away, you'll find a gas grill in the sheltered outdoor courtyard, as well as a patio table on the deck for al fresco meals with an ocean view. Take a soothing soak in the hot tub at sunset, watching the ocean below for harbor seals, sea lions, and dolphins. Back inside, you'll find a total of three cable TVs, a DVD and Blu-ray player, a VCR, and a selection of VHS movies to watch during cozy evenings in.

Whether you're a hiker or a wildlife enthusiast, Sea Ranch is beloved in Northern California for its quiet beauty and its preserved natural landscapes. Walk less than two miles north to reach Gualala Point Regional Park, one of the best places to spot migrating gray whales from the shore. You'll also be within a short walk of the Sea Ranch Golf Links, where you can play 18 holes with lovely ocean views. Don't forget the shared pool courtesy of the nearby rec centers, Sea Ranch Del Mar, Ohlson, and Moonraker Recreation Centers. Care to take a day-long excursion on California Highway 1? If you drive 52 miles north to the small coastal town of Mendocino, you'll experience one of the most beautiful stretches of this world-famous ocean road.

What our guests are saying...
Compass Rose is described as a stunning, unique, and memorable home that feels spacious, comfortable, peaceful, and well suited for groups seeking both togetherness and private retreat space. The home is praised for its cozy atmosphere, comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, clean bathrooms, and inviting communal living areas, with many guests noting that it had everything needed for a relaxing stay. Its blufftop setting offers immediate access to the coastal trail, nearby beaches, wildlife viewing, and convenient proximity to Gualala. The panoramic oceanfront scenery is a standout feature, with breathtaking whitewater views, massive windows, dramatic sunsets, whale watching, and star-filled skies repeatedly highlighted as exceptional. Guests especially appreciated the hot tub on the deck, the fireplace, grill, jetted tub, stereo speakers, dog-friendly setup, and strong sense of privacy throughout the home. Wifi was noted as working well for online classes and meetings, and the architecture, whimsical layout, reading nooks, and character-filled design made Compass Rose a favorite that many guests would gladly return to.
