Any and every thing was available to us there. From the very comfortable beds to a rubber band. The kitchen is stocked better than my own. If you were any closer to the ocean you would be in it. The host was more like a personal concierge. So very warm and friendly and available the whole time. We were warm and cozy and perfectly content the whole time.

Great Stay In Gualala
Our host was amazing, we arrived and was in contact immediately to help us get settled in. Always checked up on us if we needed anything and help get things resolved if needed. Would definitely come back and stay here. Thanks!
The views were gorgeous, and the hot tub was so relaxing. Went with my wife and my college age children and we had a wonderful stay. The property is clean and elegant but comfortable.

Amazing home!!!!
My wife and i stayed here for 10 days to celebrate her 50th birthday. We've been coming to this area at least once a year since 2009 and have stayed in many great places with ocean views. Out of all of the great places we have stayed at, WAVES END, was blew us away. Walking into the home we were immediately impressed with the open layout, chef's kitchen and 180 degree views of the Ocean, right in front of Castle Rock. Everything about the place was outstanding:Comfort: The place was very relaxing with great furnishings, comfortable couch and great seating. Views: Amazing, as i stated above. I've been all over the world, and out of everyplace I have travelled this stretch of the coast, and Glen Coe in Scotland are my favorite. Kitchen: everything you could need with a stove that I can't even find words to talk about. I like to cook and it so satisfying. Hot Tub: There is a great hot tub on the patio. It would be nice to see the ocean while in the hot tub, but it gets so cold and windy that a tub facing the ocean can be really uncomfortable. This tub was in a patio that was protected by the wind and just a great atmosphere.Serene, calming, wonderful telescope, wonderful amenities, neat and clean, updated furnishings, great bathrooms.... just a bunch of great things to say. lol she just told me that I can't be too positive or we won't be able to afford to come back. Yah, that's a risk which would be heartbreaking but i its just too beautiful to not write about.

Beautiful home, updated kitchen and nice amenities. Host is very welcoming and helpful. And that view!!! Wow! The porch is very spacious with comfortable seating — and a million dollar view!! Even on a rainy day the living room offers just as amazing of a view. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to come back!

Gorgeous Views
When you open the door of this beautiful house you look out of windows over looking the Pacific coast. The house has all that you will need for your stay and the owner is available by text for any questions you might have. The weather was sunny and we spent a lot of time sitting on the back deck taking in the gorgeous views. We would highly recommend this home if you are looking for a wonderful relaxing place with views of the ocean.
