Enjoy a private hot tub and ocean views in the distance at this two-bedroom Sea Ranch vacation home. With a fun and beachy decor, this getaway is perfect for a memorable family vacation or even a relaxing couples' getaway!

Located on the east side of Hwy 1, this meadow home is a quick one-mile drive to the Sea Ranch Golf Links or just a mile further to Gualala Point Regional Park and town. You can easily pick up groceries at Surf Market or head south on the highway for eight miles to reach the Sea Ranch Lodge and its restaurant, small gift shop, and stunning bluff-top location.

Once inside the charming Casa Contenta, you'll head up the stairs to the living room, kitchen, and dining area. This bright and open space boasts tall wood beam ceilings, lots of windows, and a wood stove for chilly coast evenings.

Watch a DVD on the Blu-ray player or use the iPod dock to listen to your favorite music through the Bose speakers. This home also offers WiFi, but please be aware that this area can be somewhat inconsistent for cell and internet service. For families, there's a cute nook for the kids to play and a selection of movies and games.

A deck off the living room is a great place for your morning coffee or an afternoon spent with a good book. There's also a gas grill if the weather is nice.

Back inside, the full kitchen will make preparing meals a breeze. In addition to a refrigerator, stove-top/oven, and dishwasher, you'll also have a microwave, coffeemaker, coffee grinder, and a mixer. You'll have seating at both a dining table and a breakfast bar. Both bedrooms suites offer queen beds and there's also an air mattress available if you have the maximum of six guests (four adults are allowed). Both comfortable bedrooms have direct access to the deck with the private hot tub. In addition to the two full bathrooms, there is also a half-bath on the landing between the first and second floors.

Additional amenities include a private washer/dryer, a wet bar, and a Smart TV with Netflix streaming capabilities. Casa Contenta is a short walk from the Burbank playground and is right off of the nearby trail. During your stay, you'll have full access to all of Sea Ranch's pristine beaches, trails, and rec centers with tennis courts. Or, simply enjoy 'the sweetness of doing nothing' during your stay!

On days you don't comb the beach, soak in the private hot tub, or wander the bluff trail, a day trip to Mendocino is about 52 miles north along the coast. You can also do some wine tasting at Annapolis Winery, just 14 miles southeast.

Book today and enjoy a relaxing escape to the picturesque Northern California Coast at this Sea Ranch vacation home!

left a lot to be desired
I tried to contact the property manager multiple times about these issues but unfortunately they were not receptive to hearing what was going on. the neighborhood and view were good, and there was nice natural light in the place. but that’s about it in terms or pros. here are the issues that arose during the stay: * no heat throughout house. just space heater and wood stove. it is a two story house * for the wood stove there was only a small bundle and we needed to buy the rest. this seems flawed. like if a vrbo house had a faucet but then the guest had to pay extra for the water to run * speaking of water, it takes about 15 minutes of the water running to even get hot. sink and showers alike * no way to turn on or off fan on stove but there is a sign that says we must use fan when cooking * stove did not work longer than enough time to heat water on the kettle. could not cook on it at all * broken soap dispense that sliced my hand i am not usually one to write a bad review but i’ve tried multiple times to get in touch with the property company and have gotten nowhere with them. they need to make some serious changes before it is safe for guests, especially during the winter.

Highly recommend this property. It’s not on the bluffs but you can walk via the trails to get there, or do a short drive. The house itself could use some additional dishes and glasses that aren’t plastic and new pillows!

Great (elite) location / “OK” overall stay
Sea Ranch is fantastic. Both houses we rented seemed to have been set up by penny-pinchers. Why have terrible cheap-o mattresses; lowest end paper products? Why have ZERO kitchen supplies? Hey….at least warn folks so we bring everything, as shopping in Gualala is not what one wants to do. I kind of put it on Vacasa, and it seems like an institutional failure. But even so, Sea Ranch is crazy good so what are you going to do? PS - the door to the hot tub will auto lock you out of the house - very scary if you cannot climb the 8’ wall.

We had an awesome time here. The home was perfect for this remote location, quiet and peaceful, while being centrally located to golf, hiking, and services like; restaurants groceries, shops, and gas. This home was equipped with al the essentials to cook and be self-contained in a roomy pleasant environment as well.

Beautiful vacation house on a spacious lot.
Thank you for the wonderful accommodations. We enjoyed watching the wildlife (turkeys, deer, fox) wander through the yard. The secluded hottub was amazing. We made several short day trips (San Francisco, Sonoma Valley, exploring the coastal beaches, Gualala). A beautiful area and a highly recommended place to stay.

No instructions
Usually there is a notebook with instructions, how to use tv, checkout procedures, etc. None here . Many great things, comfortable, clean, and quiet. A few upgrades, better shade to block sun so tv can be used in daytime, kitchen needs silverware for adults and pan for roasting or baked dishes. We noticed broken locking handles on lower windows.

Perfect house in Sea Ranch
We stayed at Casa Contenta for 4 nights in April. The house is big and beautiful, very well equipped and the location is great. We have small children and the house was great for them too (we just blocked the stairs with the coffee table) and there is a playground right across the street from the house which was awesome! Vacasa was very good at communicating and we had no trouble getting into the house or retrieving our welcome packet. Hot tub was also great. We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend Casa Contenta if you’re looking to stay in Sea Ranch!

Lovely home near the ocean
We had a lovely, relaxing stay at this sea ranch home. Clean. Large bedrooms. Short walk/drive to the ocean. Hot tub was very nice and we enjoyed good views of nature from the living/dining area : saw deer, quail, turkey, and a coyote from the comfort of the living room at dawn and dusk!

Not so happy time
Filthy, Filthy dishes. Oven dirty too. Oney one roll of paper towels. Dishwasher didn't work well enough to clean dishes properly. Those were things we could deal with. However although it says space heaters and fireplace. the space heaters are in the bedrooms not upstairs. Only a fireplace upstairs. There was very little wood there to use and as an 81 year old woman with a husband who has breathing issues, I didn't want to go up and down for wood. I did go to the store and buy firelogs but they didn't keep the living room and kitchen without a chill. We have rented in Sea Ranch before and had a lovely time with well stocked, clean homes. We chose this one because it said ocean view. It did have enough ocean in the distance to make that not a lie but it was very little ocean. We finally left one day early. I don't like to sound like a complainer but we go to get away from "it all" and do expect to be made to feel as if we are important to the owners. We certainly didn't feel that way. I have no problems with Vacassa as they did their job (aside from the cleaning) but will be much more cautious the next time we come to Sea Ranch. One more thing, we have been coming to that area for over 30 years and love being there. This house wasn't horrible, I want to make that clear and may be perfect for people in different situations than ours.

Great place away from the city
Wonderful, spacious, clean, bright, and private family getaway near the ocean, forest, meadows, and state park. After walking the trails, seeing the sights, or visiting the nearby town of Gualala, you can take a dip in the community pool, soak in the backyard hot tub, or just lounge around. The deer, birds, & sheep were bonuses. One point for improvement is the electric sockets. Most were very loose which made charging and plugging in devices/appliances difficult (potential electrical hazard & cause for circuit tripping).

Great house and amnenities!! Awesome location and views!
Everything was great!! The only real issue(it could have been a biggie) was that the wood supplied for the fireplace was all very large pieces, and without kindling, we were unable to start a fire. I went into town and purchased some bundles of dry kindling which rectified the problem. I imagine this was an oversite, as without the wood fireplace on the upper floor there is no other heat source available. Everything else went off without a hitch, and I bought enough kindling for the next guest to be able to get things going. Thank you again for the great experience

Spacious, all you need
Pluses — great communal area (open with plenty of space for distancing), decent kitchen, lovely fire, hottub, access to nature. Minuses — I find the whole VRBO/Vacasa thing confusing. And key info is split bt emails so you’re constantly searching different emails/senders. Also know that we CANNOT use SR facilities, at least during Covid, so our friends brought their tennis gear for nothing.

Disappointed
Property was nice enough but hot tub wasn’t working at all. Repair person not available. We were looking forward to soaking in tub after hiking. Hope we get a refund for the hot tub fee! Heater in master bathroom did not work. And although we didn’t expect a three day supply of firewood and kindling it would have been nice to at least have enough for the first night—especially since it was cold and we can’t check in until after 4:00 pm. AND it’s the only source of heat upstairs. Another minor inconvenience was the sink in the mid level bathroom had an improperly installed stopper.
