Before You Book:
Perched on stunning 40-50 ft cliffs, the views are spectacular but it is dangerous for kids or pets left unattended. The cliffs are also home to a family of foxes. They are nocturnal, but please take caution and be aware that though we try to keep the area clean, they may leave waste.
This two-level home requires stairs for second-level access. In terms of weather accessibility, the driveway may be prone to flooding during rainy weather. On those days, guests are advised to enter through the back door.
Wander Anchor Bay may have limited cell reception for select carriers, so we recommend taking a screenshot of the WiFi login ahead of your arrival to avoid disruption.
The weather in Gualala is usually mild, with July generally being the hottest month and January the coolest. Given its proximity to the ocean, it can be breezy - especially at night.
For rainy days, the driveway may be prone to flooding. We recommend entering through the back door to avoid tracking mud inside the home.

Great venue, requires some detailed cleaning.
We stayed four nights at this property and enjoyed it very much. Quiet, remote, seashore residence. Our family enjoyed the spacious home with a large outdoor patio and incredible view of the ocean.
The home needs a deep cleaning (e g. we found dead bugs and all the glassware needed to be washed - fortunately the dishwasher did a great job).
The kitchen is fully stocked with an abundance of plates, silverware, glassware, etc).
Very hard to find in the dark. Outside lights should be set to come on at dusk (automatic).

Great location, nice house
The house is on lovely site but the house itself is much smaller than it may seem on line - the kitchen and living area together are about the size of a small hotel room and the couch in the living area is tight and uncomfortable. The bedrooms are oddly filled with work desks - perhaps a good set up for covid era or work retreat, but not ideal for a vacation today. If at all possible, rent the other house on the same driveway (both available through Wander) which is way bigger and more modern and luxurious. The hosts are terrific - very responsive in every way.
