About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Incredibly Beautiful, Private, Unique Home Perched On The Bluff At Ocean's Edge!

We call our home Standing Wave. For us and our guests, staying here is a relaxing and tranquil experience. Things are calm and peaceful and yet filled with the excitement of the dramatic ocean views.

You won't believe the view, the peace & the serenity here! Come for a peaceful getaway. Enjoy all that this amazing coast has to offer. You can spend the entire day relaxing & whale watching in your private accommodations, or venture out to take full advantage of all that Sea Ranch has to offer...year-round, outdoor heated pools, hiking trails, tennis courts, and more views! You'll want to come back again & again!

Your accommodations will be in our guesthouse, on a gated, private Sea Ranch estate. We purchased this unique property because of the amazing location & privacy, and we love to share it with others. It is one of the largest oceanfront parcels at The Sea Ranch, with commanding views of the Pacific in all directions. The cottage is separated from the main house by a large meadow & rolling hills (see pictures). We are regularly treated to parades of whales & seals, deer migration, foxes, birds, and other abundant wildlife!

Your romantic cottage is studio-style, which is appointed with a wood burning fireplace, tall ceilings with open concept living & comfortable sleeping area. There is a large bathroom with double sinks, as well as a full wet room with double shower & large bathtub. The guesthouse has a kitchenette with cooktop, microwave & mini-fridge (no freezer and no oven). The entire cottage is bathed in natural light with large floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ocean. And if you decide to venture outside, there is a private deck for dining, lounging, or whale watching.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Limited housekeeping is available.

It’s hard to find words to describe the magic of this special place. From the impeccable design choices to the wonderfully friendly and responsive hosts, it was altogether a truly unique and fabulous stay. The show stopper of course is the magnificent view of the ocean, with mesmerizing sunsets and peaceful sunrises over the bluff. But we also appreciated the luxurious bathroom with dual showers and a jacuzzi tub, as well as the kitchenette and grill. And the beautiful Sea Ranch lodge is only a short walk away. Thank you Ivy and Brittany for an unforgettable stay!!!

Lovely, cozy setting. Note: Vrbo's website required me to rate the "pool" in order to submit this review. There is no pool, but I gave it 5 stars because I didn't want this glitch to lower their average rating! I hope this isn't misleading.

This property is amazing!! The views of the sunset are incredible and listening to the ocean waves every night was so wonderful. It was so dark we could also see the Milky Way! It was very private and quiet, which we liked. The hosts were very helpful and the unit was well equipped. We will remember this trip for a very long time...and may be planning to come back in the near future!
