Katiecastle on the Golf Links | The Sea Ranch
Sea Ranch | Spacious 4BR, near beach, trails, golf
Welcome to your serene Sea Ranch retreat — a bright, spacious 4-bedroom, 3-full bath home with sweeping golf course and distant ocean views. This nearly single-level, family friendly getaway is thoughtfully stocked and perfect for relaxing after a day exploring nearby beaches, hiking trails, golfing, or wine tasting in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties.
Inside, you’ll find warm, modern Sea Ranch interiors with an open-concept living space featuring a fireplace, large picture windows, and sliding doors that open to a wraparound deck — ideal for morning coffee, afternoon drinks, and listening to the ocean 24/7. The fully equipped kitchen includes all newer appliances including a double-oven and five-burner gas cooktop, a large pantry with wine fridge, small appliances including coffee maker and grinder, cookware, and dishware for stress-free meals and entertaining. High-speed internet, TVs with streaming, and two workspaces make it easy to stay connected.
Sleeping Arrangements:
Bedroom 1: Cal king bed, en-suite bathroom with dual shower, deck access, desk
Bedroom 2: Queen bed, private ocean-facing patio
Bedroom 3: Queen bed
Bedroom 4: Bunk bed (full over full)
Outside, enjoy the large wraparound deck with seating or private patio. The front courtyard provides parking for two vehicles and one in the garage. The quiet cul-de-sac location ensures privacy and tranquility, while the backyard and deck offer unobstructed golf course and distant ocean views.
Guests are just a 20-minute walk from Gualala Regional Park and beach, and a five-minute walk to the bluff trail where you can explore 10 miles of Sea Ranch coastline. Downtown Gualala is about a five-minute drive, where you'll find dining, shops, and a seasonal farmer’s market. Wine tasting is about an hour and a half away in either Mendocino or Anderson Valley. As a guest, you can enjoy Sea Ranch amenities including free access to recreation centers with heated pools, tennis, basketball court, pickleball court, and yoga. The Sea Ranch Golf Links course is just steps away.
This home combines privacy, space, comfort, and the quintessential Sea Ranch coastal experience — the perfect base for family adventures, friends’ retreats, or peaceful getaways.

A note from the owners: Our mission is simple: When you walk into our Sea Ranch house, we want you to feel at home. Not a rental, a home. Our home. We named our home Katiecastle after our lab, Katie. She embodied everything we love about life—always up for an adventure, curious to explore new places (and food!), and was always the first to relax. Most importantly, she loved spending time with friends and family.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

loved being able to bring our dog! She had the best time. Such a great place to be with our family and my parents
We had a great stay!I’ve been vacationing at the Sea Ranch with my family for over 40 years, the last 10 with my husband. We now prefer to travel with our dogs and find it challenging to find accommodations that allow two large furry babes, especially last minute. While this home was larger than we needed, it was clean and well appointed. The bed was comfortable and bath towels newer. The kitchen had the pots and pans we needed, and sharp knives! While we are not used to staying at the north end of the Sea Ranch, we saw plenty of deer and had a good view of the ocean on the clear days. If you’re a family that enjoys beach going a lot, keep in mind that you’ll most likely need to pack up the fam and drive to your beach of choice. We will stay here again. Thank you for a great experience.
