Ocean-view main house + private cottage

Two homes, one address: the main house plus a private cottage sleep up to 10 across 3 bedrooms. Your deck is a front-row seat to the Pacific, with redwood treetops below and sunsets over the water. Just two miles from Anchor Bay's restaurants and Fish Rock Beach. Sea stacks, tide pools, and harbor seals frame the coastline. Summer fog burns off by midday, leaving warm afternoons for trail hikes and tidepooling.

A canopy of redwood treetops and the wide Pacific Ocean extend out before you at this serene architectural gem, spectacularly situated in the sunbelt of Gualala. Relax in luxe comfort, find time for hiking and yoga, and take in the natural wonders of the Northern California Coast.

This light-filled home is beautifully secluded on a hillside overlooking the ocean, just two miles up the road from the small town of Anchor Bay. Fish Rock Beach (two miles), downtown Gualala (five miles), the Gualala Arts Center (six miles), Gualala Point Regional Park (eight miles), and renowned wineries in Annapolis (20 miles) are all close by.

This peaceful property is a showcase of its surroundings, with a multi-tiered deck wrapping around three sides of the house. Sip your morning coffee outside, linger with a good book in the afternoons, and watch the nightly sunsets illuminate the ocean, the sky, and the treetops below.

Whether you spend your days surfing or beachcombing, the house provides a quiet respite at the end of the day. The split-level interior has been renovated throughout, offering all-new luxury amenities and appliances, rich details of natural wood, and windows framing the view at every turn.

At the heart of the house is a striking kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and a live-edge center island. Gather around the dining room table for dinner and board games, retreat to the sunken living room for movies streamed on the smart TV, and sleep soundly in two bedrooms - each paired with a bathroom.

THE COTTAGE
A few steps from the main house, the standalone cottage gives your group a second living space with its own front door. Downstairs, a sage-cabinet kitchenette with brass fixtures, microwave, and full-size fridge handles morning coffee and light meals; a sofa with a pull-out bed faces a two-top dining table, so the lower level easily flips between sitting room, breakfast nook, and a private sleeping space for two.

Upstairs, a queen bed sits under a vaulted ceiling alongside a small writing desk, with a full bathroom -- walk-in tile shower, brass fixtures, terra-cotta floor -- a few steps away. A sliding door opens onto a private patio tucked into the pines, with a sectional, side table, and round dining table for outdoor coffee, sundowners, or a quiet end to the day.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Across the main house and cottage, choose from 3 bedrooms. Altogether, the property comfortably sleeps up to 10. The cottage adds a queen bed upstairs and a pull-out sofa bed downstairs.

PROPERTY AMENITIES
-- 3 bedrooms, 3 bath + 1 half bath (main house: 2 bed / 2.5 bath; cottage: 1 bed / 1 bath)

This is your private retreat for the duration of your stay -- full run of the house. Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival.

Gualala is a charming coastal village on the Mendocino-Sonoma border, known for its art galleries, excellent restaurants, and access to stunning beaches. Gualala Point Regional Park is a short drive away with river kayaking, beach access, and bluff trails.

This is a place for scenic drives along California Highway 1, but you need not venture far to find wonderful activities. Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa is the nearest airport, about 1.5 hours east. A car is essential for exploring the area.

The upstairs bedroom is an open, loft-style room.
Streaming services are available with guests' own account credentials.
Bonus features include an additional sleeping loft, a private laundry room, and complimentary WiFi.

December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. April through June brings stunning wildflower displays along the bluffs and throughout Gualala Point Regional Park. The warmest months run June to September. Coastal fog is common early in the day but gives way to sunshine by afternoon. Important: this home is very warm during the summer due to the copper dome roof — please keep the A/C set to 68 at all times to maintain a comfortable temperature.
