Brammer's Bluff

Experience one of the most beautiful settings on the Northern California Coast when you stay at this three-bedroom Sea Ranch home, a gorgeous oceanfront property with a private deck, hot tub, and garden only steps from the rocky bluffs. Dramatically perched just above the ocean waves, this elegant and dog-friendly home sits on the edge of Gualala Point Regional Park, the Sea Ranch Golf Links, and the always stunning Bluff Trail. It's also only a short stroll from Whale Watch Point, three miles north of Walk On Beach, and three miles south of shops, art galleries, and restaurants in downtown Gualala.

With a spacious interior and truly spectacular natural surroundings, this two-level home is ideal for families or groups of friends in search of rest and relaxation. The refined living space is on the second floor, allowing guests to enjoy commanding views of the ocean, the nearby cliffs, and the local wildlife. Take an afternoon nap on the soft leather sofa, play a card game in a seat by the window, or spend a quiet evening watching a DVD favorite on the flatscreen cable TV. WiFi is also available at this home. You'll find plentiful cabinet and counter space in the full kitchen, which also features double ovens and a dishwasher to make cooking a breeze. Sit down for dinner with your family in the dining room, or step outside to find a gas grill and a patio table on the ocean-facing deck. Back on the ground floor, you'll enjoy daily soaks in the luxurious outdoor hot tub, while the gated garden and lawn provide outdoor space for as many as two dogs. Please be advised, however, that an additional nightly fee applies.

Guests can also feel free to spend their days strolling the Bluff Trail or tidepooling at Shell Beach four miles south. Don't forget about the shared pool! Swimming pools and tennis courts are available at the Sea Ranch Del Mar, Ohlson, and Moonraker Recreation Centers. Whatever you do, don't worry about running out of clothes - this home has a private washer and dryer for your salty beach clothes. As one of the most majestic landscapes in Northern California, Sea Ranch is a place for rest, leisure, and unforgettable outdoor recreation. Stroll over to the Sea Ranch Golf Links to play 18 scenic holes, or take a morning hike just outside your door to watch for grey whales, sea lions, and harbor seals. This home is also just 22 miles from the Point Arena Lighthouse and 52 miles south of Mendocino - both of which sit on a magnificent and quiet stretch of California Highway 1.

Excellent home and beautiful location.
We have multiple stays here, and hopefully many more. The home is very well maintained and furnished. Pretty much everything you need, except for your food. We cooked almost every meal there for 12 days, except for a couple dinners out. Surf Market just down the road has great quality food & produce, and just about anything else you may need. WiFi is excellent, and the beds are comfortable. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing House. Will be back!
Had a great stay at this house. Location is stunning and kitchen is extremely well stocked. Will be back and definitely would recommend! Only issue was when trying to contact the property manager (Vacasa) prior to our stay. They did not respond to my messages through VRBO and eventually I tracked down an 800 number to call them. Was on hold for a while before speaking to someone and when I finally did they told me it was not their responsibility to respond to messages through VRBO, which was weird and a little annoying. Once we got to the house, everything was fantastic though.

Spectacular dog friendly oceanfront home in Sea Ranch
We have stayed at a couple of places in Sea Ranch/Gualala over the years. This was the best, hands down. The bedrooms and living room have a spectacular view of the ocean, and the floor plan was ideal for all kinds of family activities. The fact that our dog could tag along was a huge added bonus, as was the proximity to the beach at Gualala state park. It makes for a perfect morning walk. We will be back often.

Deserves 5 stars
Unsurpassed beauty, inside and outside. Right at the bluff, with a panoramic ocean view, sounds of surf crashing, serene quiet when the doors are closed, perfectly organized place top to bottom. The furniture and decor are classic and extremely comfortable. The kitchen is great for cooking. Yes, there are ants, but very few if food is kept in the fridge. I would enthusiastically sign up to stay there again if ever I get the chance. It's the quintessence of Sea Ranch.

Beautiful Home ! Beautiful views !
Home was completely comfortable, perfect for two families, children and dogs. The gated yard was perfect for dogs and children. The views of the Ocean was outstanding from the front room and bedroom . Access to the garage was a bonus, made unpacking for our 10 day stay great. Be careful , the stairs were a little steep. Although, the “ant” situation was known when booking it was a problem. With the cooking for Thanksgiving and children made it almost impossible to keep them out of the food and kitchen counters.

Great Bluff Location
We loved the location of this house at the far end of Sea Ranch, right on the bluff trail. Well-equipped house. Good deck, nice spa, good layout. Everything works fine. House is starting to show wear, but not unpleasant, especially for a house that allowed our dog to come with us. The only hitch is that we had ants every day, all day. Constant annoyance.

What a location!
The location was perfect, right at the end of the bluff trail with open views to watch and hear the waves crash. We really enjoyed the fireplace with ample supply of wood and the fenced backyard for the dogs was fantastic. The kitchen was as well equipped as any I have rented, and also had a range of firm-soft beds to choose from based on your preferences. 5-star accommodation. However I deducted 1 star for a year long ant issue that was disclosed via signage at arrival rather than in the listing when making our choice between multiple Sea Ranch homes. After choosing, I saw that the booking confirmation added a note about the potential presence of pests in ocean areas, but never disclosed that there was a current known issue. Potential renters should have the opportunity to weigh that along with all other features. Every other aspect of the house and rental experience was great!

Behind the times
Having rented at Sea Ranch for many years and at many places, we would rate this at the bottom of our experiences. The negatives include: Cleanliness-Ranging from the unswept exterior to the grimey furniture, to the bed sheets that did not appear to had been washed prior to our stay, this residence was below acceptable. Decor-Although it is unrealistic to expect stunning interior decoration and modernity at a rental, this place seemed not updated for at least 25 years. There were some positives: The email communication with the property manager was good, although the local office surprisingly was closed Sunday and Monday. If one wants a seaside bluff view this is the place. Furthermore, it is located at the junction of the bluff trail and the Gualala regional park. Although the weather was great during our stay, we prefer to locate on the hillside for more sun and milder temps. The home appointments had two real pluses. A fully equipped kitchen-a real plus given the erratic and mediocre restaurant options in the area. Second was a nice enclosed garden/patio-great for the dogs. However, note that hardwood stairway between 1st and 2nd floors is not carpeted-not great for the dogs.

Beautiful location, house not so much
Sea Ranch is a beautiful area, all eight miles of it. This home is in a perfect location, right on the edge of a bluff. However, the house has seen better days. We paid for a ten day stay but left three days early due to the conditions in the house. In the immediate days leading up to our arrival I received an email from Vacasa saying they were getting the house ready for our stay, cleaning windows and making sure everything was just right. When we arrived, the windows were not cleaned, in fact, several of the windows and sliding doors have failed and you couldn’t see out of them very well. Then half way into our stay, the automatic garage door came off its track rendering the door halfway open and unable to go up or down. That same day, the master bath shower door came off its track and couldn’t be opened or closed! The local Vacasa handyman was able to fix the shower door but nothing could be done to the garage door until the homeowner arrived after our departure. There is only one thermostat in the house so the downstairs stays very cold unless you turn up the thermostat but that makes it unbearably warm upstairs. The hardwood floors are very worn especially in the dining room due to the cafe chairs around the table being moved in and out. Scuffs and gashes on the walls are numerous. On the positive side, the kitchen is extremely well equipped! Nice linens too! House needs some TLC.

Captivating Ocean Views
We loved the closeness to the ocean and its great views. The home worked well for our daughter and her family and my husband and I. It gave each of us our own area plus a great living room/dining/kitchen area for the family as a whole to gather. The hot tub was wonderful and loved the fenced yard. The house was clean, well equips and comfortable.

Relaxing Trip to the Coast
We have stayed in this comfortable home several times and have always enjoyed it. It is located on the bluff and the views are great. The coastal path is just a few steps away and so is the Gaulala Regional Park. The kitchen is well supplied with utensils. A big plus for us is that we can take our dog and there is a small fenced in area for the dog.
