Sunny Home w/ Private Hot Tub & Deck, Pools & Saunas - Two Dogs Welcome

The Bobcat House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Bring the entire family to enjoy the peace and comfort of this three-bedroom Sea Ranch home, a sun-splashed escape with a private hot tub and deck, dog-friendly accommodations, and nearby access to community swimming pools, tennis courts, and saunas.

You'll find this cozy, two-level home on the hillside east of California Highway 1, offering lovely meadow views five miles south of downtown Gualala. Go tidepooling and watch the local harbor seals at Shell Beach one mile west, take walks on the sandy expanse of Walk On Beach less than two miles west, and spend sunny days enjoying the heated pool, saunas, and tennis courts at the Ohlson Recreation Center two miles south.

With natural beam ceilings, built-in window seats, and a pair of plush recliners, the living space will make you feel immediately at home. Use the provided logs to build a morning fire in the wood stove, curl up by the window to glimpse bobcats passing through the meadow, or set up a board game as a Netflix favorite plays in the background (a DVD player, VCR, VHS library, and free WiFi are also provided).

Begin each morning with sticky buns from Twofish Baking seven miles south, and spend each afternoon preparing al fresco meals on the charcoal grill. Take your dogs for walks on the private local trails (please note that there is a two-dog maximum at this home), stretch out with a good book on the deck, and spend evenings stargazing with your loved ones in the warmth of the private hot tub.

Whether you've come to Sea Ranch to relax, unwind, or reconnect with your family, you'll be able to do it all in this lovely home!

Lovely area, very nice house, quiet and peaceful
The place is very nice, has multiple nice living areas and places to hang out. Downstairs has two queen bedrooms one with an en suite bathroom. The upstairs bedroom has a pair of twin beds and just outside the upstairs bedroom a loft area with a large couch. The upstairs area is better suited to kids. The beds upstairs are uncomfortable and we ended up sleeping on the couch. They are older mattresses on a flat wood platform. I would recommend changing out the mattresses and adding a box spring. Overall the place is very nice and comfortable to hangout and stay.

Really nice home in great location
We spent four nights in this great home. It's in a nice location on a very quiet cul-de-sac. Close to day hiking trails and Gualala for restaurants. Home was very well equiped - we cooked several meals without finding any missing household items. Hot tub works great...which is sometimes a rarity in rental homes. We would definitely stay here again.

nice house, noisy hot tub
The house is very comfortable and well set up. No ocean view, but a nice small private meadow right behind the house. You do have to drive to get to the beach and bluff trail. The main drawback for us was that the hot tub was right outside our bedroom window and seems to run some sort of long cycle during the night-- an hour the first night, 3 hours one of the other nights, at 55 decibels. It's impossible to sleep while that is happening. In hindsight, we should have moved to one of the other bedrooms after that first night. I would recommend that anyone staying there not use the bedroom next to the hot tub deck.

Relaxing stay with Family
Great place for our family to relax and connect. Extra points for the hot tub and allowing dogs. Would have like to have known ahead of time that coffee filters were not provided and to bring our own firewood. There really was not enough for three nights during the winter.

Bobcat House is Lovely
This home is super quiet and serene. The woods surrounding the home are pristine with turkeys, deer, and all assortment of birds enjoying the area. House was just as advertised and clean. The layout of the home is also very nice, easy to move around and still see your guests. Nice spot and I would return next time we stay at SR.

Great location, comfortable
The location worked really well for us - really close to hiking trails in the hills, easy to walk or drive to the beach. It's pretty quiet with some traffic noise from HW1, but it wasn't bad. The house itself is comfortable and spacious, and the kitchen is in a very nice shape. As it is common in Sea Ranch properties, the pots and pans are all non-stick and scratched - I wish people were more careful, but we expect that and bring our own. We have dietary restrictions, so we have to cook ourselves - everything in the kitchen worked well. WIFI was fast and reliable. We did not try the wood stove, it was ready to go. We used the hot tub a lot. It was clean, and spacious, and we enjoyed the view of the trees, and the stars at night. The deck with the hot tub is visible from the road, so there is limited privacy, though there is almost no traffic on the road as the house is in a cul-de-sac. The hot tub is located on a deck immediately next to the main bedroom. We could not sleep there because at night the hot-tub was turning on and creating a lot of noise. In fact, the noise from the hot tub was also there during the day - taking one star off because of the noise. There were two other bedrooms, so we were able to sleep regardless of the hot tub noise. The house got hot during the day, even with the windows and doors open. For the stereo, we ordered USB-C to RCA adapter and it worked well. The TV was large and worked well.

Overall we had fun, there is plenty of space for gathering. Unfortunately the master bed was hard as a rock and some of the cooking utensils, bowls, sauce pans need updating. Wonderful star gazing spot and used the hot tub frequently.

Good location but property needs TLC
Property needs an upgrade, the furniture and supplies are not inviting. Sofas were not old and very dirty. Our sheets were not washed and I had to wash all the sheets and pillow covers, I could see hair stubs sticking out from last guests, it is a good feeling especially with corona around. Utensiks were ok, carpet was very dirty and for hitting only half the jets worked. When we checked in we had to call in property manager as the toilet was not working and a chair was broken, they promptly sent someone and fixed it. But I am very upset about the sheets, cleaning fee is so high and checkout time is 10AM and 4 PM is checking, despite extra time bed sheets and pillow covers were not washed. Will not stay here again unfortunately, won't recommend this house.

Coastal get away
We decided to extend our road trip and found this house last min but were not disappointed at all. The house was spacious with plenty of room for the 4 boys ages 8,9,12 and 15 to run around and enjoy. The second living room upstairs was perfect for the 3 youngest to hang out and play. They absolutely loved seeing the wild turkeys and deer running around outside. We visited end of February begining of March and did beach hopping so it was a perfect location to do that. The master bedroom bed wasn't the best for bad backs but I would absolutely stay here again.

Comfortable and cozy
Most of the previous comments were accurate and applied to our stay. The accommodations were just right for our group of 6. It was nice that the bedrooms were spaced apart, and each pair had their own bathroom. Kitchen is spacious with plenty of equipment and spices. Yes, the master bedroom mattress is very firm. The bunk beds listed in the pictures have been replaced with a comfy queen mattress, a slight disappointment for the kiddos. Yes, there are scuffs on the wall (not a deal breaker). The cleanliness was a bit less than desirable- found 2 articles of clothing under 2 of the beds. Someone's dried up contact lenses were in clear sight on the bathroom floor. Not the end of the world, and did not detract from our overall experience, which was peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing. Shell beach was easily accessible, just Google where the private parking lot is, so that you don't have to trek in from the public lot.
