This classic, dog-friendly Sea Ranch vacation rental with an amazing bluff-side location and an ocean view is just the seaside retreat you and your travel companions have been longing for. The Sea Ranch community boasts resort-style amenities and amazing landscapes of all kinds, from forests to seashores. Located 58 miles from Mendocino and nine miles from Gualala, this particular rental faces Black Point Beach, with an expanse of sea grasses between you and the bluff.

With intriguing classic architecture and a warm interior, this home balances the simple, uncomplicated style of a beach getaway with the high-end taste of Northern California. Fine-grained wood floors, high ceilings, and stone hearth add to the charm, and views from your spot on the bluff will take your breath away. Gather in the sitting area, which emphasizes conversations with its furniture facing each other. There is a TV with cable and a DVD/VCR, as well as a stereo system and a CD player for background music. A full kitchen makes preparing home meals easy and fun. You'll have all the major appliances you need, including a dishwasher. Dine inside in the eating nook with windows on three sides, or head out to the patio to dine.

This three-bedroom, two-bathroom rental can sleep six people in comfortable (eight maximum, if you want to bring along an extra sleeping bag or two). A couple will adore the master suite with a queen bed and a carpeted floor. Deck access and bay windows bring in the ocean views. Read in the comfy armchair, or enjoy some quiet TV time alone. The two other bedrooms have queen beds as well, and there is a private washer/dryer in the home.

Whether you're visiting with your golf buddies, old friends, or your family members, you'll find something restful and engaging to do together here. There are beaches to comb, tide pools to search, and trails to hike. Swimming pools and tennis courts are also available at the Sea Ranch Del Mar, Ohlson, and Moonraker Recreation Centers. Keep our eyes out for wildlife abound in the forests and across the meadows, including foxes and over 220 species of birds. From the bluff view points you may catch a glimpse of a grey whale, or a few California sea lions sunbathing on the beaches!

Grab your clubs and hit the Sea Ranch Golf Links, a Scottish links-style course with a fresh sea breeze to keep you motivated. Dine at The Lodge nearby, and pick up a Sea Ranch sweatshirt at the gift shop. A peaceful seaside getaway awaits you in the Sea Ranch vacation home - book today and discover Northern California in a whole new way.

Awesome View of the Crashing Waves

Been going to The Sea Ranch for 35 years and the view of the ocean and crashing waves here is as good as it gets. House itself is very basic but the beds and furniture are all comfortable and very clean. Would stay here again for sure.

Thank You!

We have stayed at the Curtis-Moulton house many times. This trip, although in December with some rain, was still wonderful. The deer, the fox, the view! And we really, really appreciated that the outlet in the master bath is now working. The improvements made in the kitchen and the responsiveness of the local Vacasa staff was also appreciated. The ants were more under control and the place was cleaner than the last few times. So, again thank you for making this house available to us.

Honestly, not very good.

So upon arrival, I had a birthday cake since we were here celebrating my daughter’s 21st birthday. I left it on the counter a few hours not realizing they had issues with ants and of course it was infested with ants. We had to throw it away. Needless to say, cannot eat it at that point. Anybody staying here should be aware that this is an issue and honestly I am a property manager myself I would insist upon the owners having pest control. Another issue was the Internet service I still was working and of course the Internet was down most of the time there is no cell service pass bodega Bay for anybody who is driving and planning on staying in this area. Make sure you have good Internet service that is provided at the home. The overall feel of the home was extremely outdated. I was cold most of the time trying to run the baseboard. Heat was not adequate. The fireplace did help but when I woke up in the morning, it was 57° not what I would say comfortable. The location was good to see Ranch area is nice. The beach view was beautiful but unfortunately it was extremely windy and it was actually raining for part of the day. Honestly, we almost left the first day just based upon the Internet problem. I would not stay in this property again.

You won't want to print this

We have stayed at this property many times. We've sent the same issues to you every time and nothing has improved. The large front burner on stove doesn't work. The right front burner is crooked and impossible to cook on leaving only the two small back burners. The only electrical socket in the master bath doesn't work. The ant problem is still an issue even though we close and lock everything up tight. We know ants are an issue at Sea Ranch but also know more can be done. Additionally this time, we found the kitchen cabinets in disarray and many, many dirty dishes and utensils. Fortunately the dishwasher works well and we washed all the glassware and dishes, and rearranged the cabinets. There were only two dishtowels and many of the placemats were dirty. When we arrived the towels set out for us were damp. We got a good laugh out of the sign asking us to take our shoes off. Really? We do anyway, but that is the focus rather than cleaning the place well? We used to have other people come with us but we don't now because the two beds in the first and second bedroom are uncomfortable and falling apart. We implore the owners to please maintain the place. That's all we ask - no fancy upgrades needed just a clean house with working appliances. We still love this house but it's sad how the owners don't do basic maintenance and yet, expect us to be respectful of their property. We would appreciate a response so we know you read this.

Old School Sea Ranch Charm

The location of this house is absolutely stunning. Steps to the Bluff Trail, and far enough south that the trail isn't too heavily trafficked. Spectacular views of Black Point Beach, and a side vantage of the ceaselessly cascading breakers rolling in. The space is open and airy, very minimally furnished, just the essentials. Patio is protected from most heavy wind, making it a perfect spot to watch the sunset. Didn't even miss not having a hot tub! We'll be back.

Spectacular view, poor amenities

This house has one of the most spectacular views in Sea Ranch, thanks to Mother Nature and the original architect. Alas the property managers were unhelpful and the place is falling apart. Worst, they did not inform us before we paid $980 for two nights that the WiFi had been discontinued at the property and would be reconnected after we left. This would be fine if we didn’t have work deadlines to meet while there. Moreover the cables connecting the DirectTV were mangled and broken. They didn’t get fixed until our last night. Windows were falling out of their frames. Blind pullies were fraying and broken. Someone else’s dirty old sock sat next to the couch. The welcome binder and cards advertised great amenities, including WIFI, that did not exist. You can’t beat the view, or the quiet. But if you need amenities, services and a response from the local property manager, this may not be for you.

Amazing property on the bluff

The house has a great layout, with kitchen and living room on one end and the bedrooms on the other. Very comfortable for 6 people. The kitchen is extremely well stocked, with all manner of pots and pans, even pie plates which was a bonus as we had been hoping to make a pie. The carpet and beds are dated, and are in need of replacing, though the master queen mattress was certainly acceptable. The dishwasher air gap leaked when we were there, and the property managers were very responsive and got a handyman out very quickly, and when the first repair did not work he came back right away with a permanent solution. You can’t beat the location, and all in all a great stay. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect location but some updating needed for the price

This house has one of the best views I could find in Sea Ranch to watch the waves crashing on the rocks and the sound of the surf was powerful. The house itself feels rather small but was comfortable for the two of us. Although we had heard Sea Ranch had redone their wireless for greater dependability, we had to have someone come out twice because the connection equipment wasn't correct. It was frustrating as I had planned on getting some work done and at night, to enjoy watching something on Netflix. However, they did fix it and the Vacasa property management service was exceptional. They got someone out there right away and the serviceman went above and beyond. I was super impressed. In any case, the view can't be beat and having the walking trail along the bluff right there was fantastic. Overall, I don't like the trend on VRBO in general of having one "per night" price with so many fees on fees added that it comes out at least twice as much.

Hit or miss

This property was ok. While you can see management has done a lot to correct negative reviews (now has plenty of supplies) there are still some inaccuracies. The house states “laundry in home” when it’s really out in a carport. We specifically communicated on distance to the beach for my mother in law. We were told a 5 minute walk. It’s actually .6 miles and then you have to descend 90 steps to reach the beach which didn’t work for us. Beds are still old and one room is quite musty smelling. But if those things don’t bother you or you can handle the walking the views are gorgeous (including the night sky), check in/check out was a breeze and all the necessities were provided.

Great house, great location!

Although the interior of the home and furniture is a little dated the house is very clean and cozy! You can’t find a better view. We loved being able to walk to the beach and sit outside on the porch. We will be back for sure! Wish the beds were a little softer, that’s the only suggestion I could make.

The views are like no other, simply spectacular.

The house is old but very and comfortable. The house is well stocked for the most part but needs updating. Outside is amazing. there is a lovely walking path from this property over to Sea Ranch Lodge and half-way there are stairs down to the beach. Wonderful driftwood and rocks treasures there to find. Sitting out on the patio, we were visited by three deer. I recommend this house to recharge your soul. it is wonderful.

Peace & Tranquility

We rented the Curtis-Moulton house for my 30th and my friend's 31st birthday. The house could not have been in a better location. Every room had a view of the ocean and with the windows open the sound of the waves was so peaceful and inviting. Another reviewer had remarked about the spotty wi-fi and cable. We had absolutely no problems with this anywhere within Sea Ranch. I came to this house to escape work, life and the city. I wasn't focused on wifi, but sat outside for hours listening to the ocean and watching the waves. We brought very easy to assemble, no stress on anyone meals. Things to make breakfast sandwiches, frozen lasagna and other snack items and found the kitchen met our needs. The welcome email with check in instructions flat out states that their may not be spices in the house and that may be something you need to bring with you. We understood this and planned accordingly. Gualala was just up the road 10 minutes if we found we needed anything. Our only complaint was the trash situation. It was clear no one from the Vacasa or the cleaning service came back to the house to take the trash out on for Tuesday pickup. As such there were multiple bags still in the trash can, and we just had to add ours on top. However, aside from that little issue. We would absolutely rent this house again. You could not beat the proximity to the ocean and the peace and tranquility this provided. We loved it. We definitely will be back. Till next time Curtis-Moulton House! P.S. I think the people who reviewed below me sound like high maintanance that don't know how to enjoy their surroundings. We loved this house.

We enjoyed our stay at this house very much. The location is fantastic and you can walk to the nearest beach. The entire back of the house is overlooking the ocean and the view is just beautiful. We were missing some basics and the agency didn't quite deliver on those but our overall experience was great. The house could really use some updating. Everything is very basic and old but on the bright side it has a lovely mid century feel and was quite cozy. We come to Sea Ranch annually and like to stay at different houses as there are so many interesting homes. If the kitchen and bathrooms were updated I'd stay here again.
