Sea Ranch Lighthouse on the Meadow--10 minute walk to Shell Beach & Monarch Glen

The Sea Ranch Lighthouse is a cozy, warm 2 bedroom/2 bath house that can easily sleep four(4),and by using the loft and its twin size trundle bed, it will accommodate six(6).The trundle bed is made up for a single but by pulling out the trundle it will make up to two twins or a double. Both bedrooms have its own bathroom. The kitchen has all new appliances and is fully equipped to delight the casual or gourmet cook. And when you are done eating, just pop the dishes into the dishwasher and crank up the blender for some margaritas.
Located on the ocean side of California Hwy 1, the house is a quick walk to the ocean, the children's playground and one of the finest tide-pool areas on the Ranch.
The house also has quick access across the common area to the Bluff trail to the Monarch Glen. This is where the Monarch Butterflies stop to rest on their trip southward. There is a Monarch Glen field guide in the house.
You can watch for whales while standing at the large living room window as you get toasty in front of the fireplace or, if you prefer, while you are sitting in the hot tub on the deck. At night you will see a starry heaven that will take your breath away. In the house, on the deck or in the hot tub you will be looking out at a beautiful blue ocean watching the deer, wild turkeys or rabbits running across the meadow.

If you'd rather stay indoors there is a nice window seat that is perfect for that afternoon nap or reading while you listen to music from the Smart TV to find a list of music choices. A flat panel HDTV and free WIFI INTERNET rounds out the entertainment options.

The house comes with passes to all the amenities; some interesting reading material about the whaling ships that used to travel from the Northern Coast to San Francisco and a variety of books on the flora and fauna of the Pacific Coast and binoculars on the shelf in the living room.

We enjoyed the views across the meadow with deer, jackrabbits and a grey fox, Also the proximity to Shell Beach and Gualala. We walked some of the Sea Ranch paths, cooked salmon we brought with us and drank white wine while playing Yahtzee. Maybe come back next year if possible.?

Lovely 3-night stay
This is a wonderful place - the kitchen and all the other rooms are very well-stocked, which suggests that the family/individuals that rent it out spend some time at the property themselves. That's why it has everything a home would. We enjoyed the quiet, the proximity to the sea, the creature comforts in the property, and relatively close access (5-7 minute drive) to a supermarket. All in all, a wonderful place to get away from it all. P.S. Just one note to prospective tenants. There is just a very small bar of soap in the bathrooms, so if you are there for an extended stay, bring your own large bar of soap and shampoo. Other than that, there were absolutely no other supplies (laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, spare trash bags, even Saran wrap and aluminum foil) lacking.

Cozy stay, dreamy coast
My friend and I are lifelong California residents but even we couldn't help but exclaim at the beauty of the Sea Ranch coast as we drove in—and our gals' weekend at Gordon and Judy's lovely, cozy property was such a wonderful home base to simply relax, read, nap, enjoy the hot tub, have our tea on the deck, watch in wonder as deer and jackrabbits and quail wandered onto the property. It also made a convenient point from which we could go hiking around the Ranch itself, as well as nearby sights like the Sea Ranch Chapel and Gualala and Point Arena. I did find it easier to be contact via email (off-platform) but never needed to contact their on-site property manager Jami, who's available by phone. In any case, my friend and I loved our stay here and hope to return!

Cozy Sea Ranch home with fantastic view
We love this place - it’s got a welcoming vibe. great location with short walk to the beach / walks along the cliffs. The deck looks out over a field where deer stare at you - and beyond that is an ocean view. Hot tub; comfy living room with a window seat (my favorite place to read). Two bedrooms and a loft plus two bathrooms is perfect for two couples or a family. We will be back! .

Lovely little house in prime location
The Lighthouse is a wonderful home in Sea Ranch with a great location. Over the years, we have stayed in multiple different houses and while the Lighthouse is not the largest or most luxurious, it was the perfect home for our family. Plenty of space with 2 bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms, and a great loft space upstairs which my daughter promptly claimed as her own! The location is unbeatable within walking distance to both Shell Beach and Walk On Beach with some great tide pooling opportunities. We had deer roaming in the meadow out back while we soaked in the hot tub and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Would definitely rent again!

Perfect for relaxing
We had a great 3-night visit to the Lighthouse. The house was well equipped and ready for our arrival to just settle in and relax. Easy walk to the beach and wildlife to view right off the back deck including deer, rabbits a racoon and coyote. Thank you to the hosts for a pleasant home away from home.

Great location for a small family
Our family had a lovely time staying at the "Lighthouse on the Meadow". The property was true to the listing - it's a cozy, but ver comfortable house with easy access to the beach, tide pools, hiking and biking trails, and views of a large meadow with a resident herd of deer. After three days, our kids (aged 5 and 7) eagerly volunteered "best vacation ever!"

Sweet Ocean Getaway
This is a great place. The owner and manager of this property are very responsive, helpful, and just overall nice people. The window shade in one room would not go back up and the manager came right out and fixed it. This is a cozy, sweet place, very close to an accessible beach and playground, making it perfect for a small family. The home is small but lots of windows bring in natural light and give it the feeling of openness. My husband and I are used to a king bed so the queen beds feel a bit small but they are comfortable. The living room is very comfy, with seats for everyone. There are no TV's in the bedrooms so parents that want a separate area for kids to watch a movie, it's important to know that. We enjoyed having an accessible and really beautiful beach within a five minute walk. We have stayed at Sea Ranch several times and we've never had an accessible beach so close. We have been close to the water but not a beach that you could get to and enjoy. The house looks out onto a beautiful meadow, which also adds to the feeling of spaciousness. Many Sea Ranch homes are close together and lack privacy but this house does not feel closed in or too close to other houses. The kitchen is well stocked but no condiments and just a few spices, so if you want to cook you may need to bring those items. We left some spray oil for the next guests because that is a must have for cooking. Overall, it's a great deal. Thank you to the owners and manager!!

Perfect Spring Get Away
Our family had a wonderful stay at the Lighthouse on the Meadow. From the deck of the house which faces the meadow we enjoyed watching and listening to the wildlife that lives in Sea Ranch. We saw a pair of fox hunting, numerous deer feeding on the Spring grasses and a large flock of turkey foraging. The raptors circled overhead and you could hear smaller birds in the trees. We had a fabulous trip and hope to one day return to the Lighthouse on the Meadow.

We loved the lay out of the house! It was perfect for the two of us, and next time we hope to bring our friends, they would love it too. The layout for two couples is great! The owners are beyond fabulous! Check in was so easy as was check out! Perfect stay for a stormy weekend as we had plenty of wood to cozy up by! The open lay out also was nice for cooking awesome food in. The large windows were perfect to watch the storm and the birds over the meadow and we saw the big waves crashing too! Looking forward to our next stay! Thank you!
