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.

Wonderful place to stay, with the best views!
We love this house. It’s about as close to the ocean as you can get in Sea Ranch, with immediate access to the trail and amazing views from the living area of the house. Will be staying here again!

Beautiful views, great location, but house is a bit outdated
The expansive 180+ degree views of the coastal bluff are stunning. Loved the floor to ceiling windows. The house comfortably slept 3 couples, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking.

All about the View!
This home sits in the perfect location. The view is stunning! Our friends, 6 of us have stayed here about 6 or 7 times since 2015. We love the architecture of the house. The jack and Jill bedrooms have soft but not very comfortable beds. There’s a dip in the middle and you roll into your partner. I looked under the beds in both rooms and noticed cinderblocks and chunks of wood that are there to possible support the bed but it’s not. The basic cleanliness of the bathrooms and kitchen is good. But there are cobwebs and dust through out the house. Rodents are present. We checked in and found a dead mouse in the kitchen. Mouse turds were in drawers, side table, and even on the couch. Last complaint is the windows were dirty and with that view it makes a big difference! Like everything else since Covid the price has gone up and it seemed the housekeeping isn’t a priority. Was there a change in ownership?

Beautiful view and location
Gorgeous view; watched whales go by and enjoyed the changes in the ocean and the sky. Very relaxing. House is a little tired and could use some TLC. Seal in master bedroom picture window has "popped" so the condensation prevented that room from having a stellar view. A little $$ would make this place absolutely unbelievable.

The Blush Has Worn Off The Rose
“While Compass Rose has a lovely view from the upstairs great room, this house has several issues that would not allow me to recommend it for future renters. Deferred maintenance is evident throughout the home and overall cleanliness is lacking.

Great location
We loved the location - right on the bluff. The design of the house was the most unusual we’ve been in, but in a good way. It would have been nice to have a floor plan or more description of room locations in the property description. The house really needs a deep cleaning - lots of nooks and crannies for dust and spider webs. Also, the view windows needed cleaning to sharpen our view, caused by the salt air from the ocean. And as with many houses in Sea Ranch, there is a lot of water seepage on the interior woodwork. Water was dripping in and near the kitchen sink each morning from condensation from the overhead window. The house could use some TLC. Overall, the stay was a great experience for our family.

Location, Location, Location
This is the most iconic house on the bluffs at Sea Ranch, situated at the best location: Del Mar Point. It's a five star house, which deserves maintenance which it hasn't received. Remove half a star for that. All of my remarks have been conveyed to Vacasa Customer Service and the top notch staff at the Gualala office. We arrived during the Jan 2023 atmospheric river storms and the power was out. We came prepared with portable power stations, a portable frig and ice chests, rechargeable lamps and headlamps. We were able to light 4 of 5 burners on the stove so we could cook. We lit the gas fireplace. There was no fan but we didn't need it. It wasn't cold upstairs. To our surprise the water heater had a pilot, not a piezo ignitor so we had hot water the entire time. The storms were fantastic. The 20' to 30' waves were extraordinary to view, hear and feel from upstairs. The rain was torrential; not so great in a house made of glass. The roof, hot tub deck and windows should be inspected and repaired after such a series of storms. There was a lot of leaking. After 5 days the power was fully restored. The house had been cleaned but there are old cobwebs throughout the house that need to be addressed. The GFI's in the shared bathroom downstairs wouldn't reset. The ignitors on the two front burners on the stove didn't work. The handle on the front door was so loose it was difficult to operate and would spontaneously lock itself. We noticed and appreciated the new living room furniture. Comfortable and suitable. And group members enjoyed the hot tub, once it was heated. Gripes and notes to future renters: The pans are awful. Bring your own. The cooking utensils are flaccid plastic. They should be replaced with better quality plastic and wood. The can opener needs to be replaced. There are plenty of plates and bowls, but no food storage containers. Plenty of flatware but no teaspoon-sized spoons. There were no tongs. Bring extra towels in case of another power outage. Although you'll be able to take nice hot showers, you won't be able to launder towels. The consumables were stocked adequately. We added foil, baggies and dish soap. We've been renting houses for over ten years at Sea Ranch and Compass Rose was the one I most looked forward to. It was as amazing as I had imagined. I'd love to rent it again. I hope the owners take the maintenance requests to heart.

Overall, very pleased
We loved the home. We would return. View is spectacular. Home is comfortable with wonderfully appointed couches and comfy corners. There is a positive quality to the energy and a feeling almost of a big farmhouse warmth. Some challenges that are definitely fixable: WiFi was unstable and weak Towels seemed thin and rough Front door mat was old and stained We couldn't figure out how to turn on the fireplace. But... All in all. We were quite happy with our experience. Warmly, Leni Miller

Great views, but deferred maintenance an issue
The view from the living room was spectacular, but deferred maintenance is an issue. Broken door knob to the hot tub area, sliding glass door downstairs has so much condensation that you can see through it. Almost all the dishes needed to be rewashed Kitchen faucet is broken and needs replacing, entire house was dusty. Needs new pans, and kitchen knives couldn't cut warm butter.

Spectacular Home!!
This is the best home in Sea Ranch we've found for older parents seeking quality time with young adult offspring and their partners. There is ample communal space with gorgeous views. Plus a generous amount of personal spaces for everyone to curl up for with a book for some private time.

Perfect location
Beautiful view from great, sizable living room. Kitchen, hot tub, washer/dryer- all very easy to use. There are lotsa stairs, but we didn’t mind. The house was extremely comfortable and well worth it. There was no coffee maker! The central office were confused whether this was an Amenity or not. Called the local Vacasa office. Staff delivered a new one promptly.

Amazing location
We stayed here for a week, and it was wonderful. First and foremost, the location just can't be beat. You feel like you're alone on the shoreline, with a wall-to-wall view of the ocean and the cliffs. We could just sit on the couch (or hot tub) and watch seals, otters, birds, and whales spouting and flipping their flukes 1/2 mile off the shore. I will say the house layout is spread out with lots of stairs. The bedrooms are separated between front and rear downstairs, and we found ourselves walking back and forth and up and down stairs a lot -- definitely not a great house for elderly or people with mobility issues. Overall a great stay. We'd be happy to come back.

Ideal location, furniture needs refresh
This house is ideally located right next to the water with no other homes obstructing the amazing view of the ocean. There is immediate access to the many miles long trail that runs along the coastline. The house has lovely wood throughout. The mattresses on the beds are very comfortable. My only complaint is the furniture and rugs are very dated and feel dirty due to so many years of use.

Great Location and Views!
Stayed at Compass Rose in early April 2022. You won’t find a better location or view. We really enjoyed our stay and being in Sea Ranch is very relaxing and laid back. The home layout is unique (three main sections) with LOTS of stairs. As others have said in their reviews, this property shows A LOT of wear and could use some updating. Easy to overlook the flaws when you are looking out the windows to the ocean views. I would recommend you bring your own pots and pans as the ones in the house were disgusting. Dishes and glasses were fine. We did encounter some problems as follows: - Furnace did not work when we arrived. Had to call Vacasa and the local office was responsive getting a maintenance person out. First night we went without heat. - Gas fireplace did not work upon arrival. Maintenance guy got it working. - Ants! Lots of ants, mainly in the master bedroom and bathroom. Also found ants upstairs. Probably killed at least 50 of them. - Jets on the jacuzzi tub (in bathroom next to main bedroom) did not work - It rained our first two days. Two of the small windows in the living room leaked. A LOT! - Windows all need cleaning. Great views out VERY dirty windows. - Garbage bin was disgusting. Garbage cans overflowing, probably there from the last few renters. - Small issues – a couple lights were out, kitchen faucet broken but usable, one burner on stove did not work. If this was a different property I would have given it a lower rating. But even with the problems, we had a great time. The location is what will make your stay very memorable. I would book again.
