About this property

Gualala 3BR oceanfront home — panoramic views & Viking kitchen

  • Summary:

    Open the door to panoramic Pacific views that follow you from the kitchen through the dining room to the deck. Three bedrooms and three baths sleep 8 in this Gualala oceanfront home with a Viking gas range and a separate TV room. St. Orres is the one restaurant within walking distance; the rest of Gualala is a short drive.



    The Space:

    Impressive ocean views set the tone the moment you arrive at this Gualala home — wide sky, moving water, and that easy coastal calm you came for.



    The heart of the house is an open floor plan that flows from a full kitchen — anchored by a Viking gourmet gas range — into the dining area and living room, so cooking, conversation, and downtime stay connected. That layout makes the home especially easy for families and groups who want to spread out without losing each other. When it's time to unwind, slip away to the dedicated TV room, or retire early with a book while the surf keeps time outside.



    Days here follow the coast: whale watching from the deck December through April, spring wildflowers along the bluffs of Gualala Point Regional Park, kayaking on the Gualala River, and gallery-hopping in town. St. Orres — the landmark restaurant just up the road — is the one dinner spot within walking distance; everything else in Gualala is a short drive.



    The three full baths — one per bedroom — make mornings easy for multi-couple groups, and the washer and dryer keep sandy beach days from following you home. Fog is part of the coast's rhythm here: mornings often start soft and silver, burning off to blue afternoons, with the warmest stretch running June through September. Cell service can be spotty along this coast, but the home's WiFi keeps you connected when you want to be.



    OUTDOOR LIVING

    Step outside to the deck — your front-row seat for Pacific sunsets and, in season, migrating gray whales. Outdoor dining on the patio turns simple meals into sunset dinners with the ocean still in view.



    SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

    Three bedrooms and three full baths sleep 8 guests.



    PROPERTY AMENITIES

    -- Viking gourmet gas range

    -- Dedicated TV room

    -- Gas fireplace (not currently operational)

    Guest Access:

    This is your private retreat for the duration of your stay -- full run of the house. Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival.



    The Neighborhood:

    Gualala is a charming coastal village on the Mendocino-Sonoma border, known for its art galleries, excellent restaurants, and access to stunning beaches. Gualala Point Regional Park is a short drive away with river kayaking, beach access, and bluff trails. The only restaurant within walking distance is St. Orres. Art galleries, Gualala Point Regional Park, and other dining are a short drive.



    Getting Around:

    From San Francisco, the drive is about 2.5 hours via Highway 101 to Highway 1. Fly into Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS), about 90 minutes east, and drive the coast from there. Having a car opens up the entire Mendonoma Coast.



    Other Things to Note:

    December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. April through June brings stunning wildflower displays along the bluffs and throughout Gualala Point Regional Park. The warmest months run June to September. Coastal fog is common early in the day but gives way to sunshine by afternoon.



    Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

Lovely getaway space

We very much enjoyed staying at this house. We loved the views of the ocean and the nearby access to Cooks beach. The house is thoughtfully laid out and has a good vibe. There were a few items that needed repair or replacing, but otherwise it worked great for our family.

Spring Break stay

We’ve stayed here three years in a row, love the location and all the space for our extended family group. There are some maintenance issues that need attention, such as the sliding door to the patio not locking and the screen being broken, the cabinet in the kitchen being broken and swinging off the hinge, two of the fireplaces not working, etc…but, overall, we do like it here and the location can’t be beat. Just a little TLC is all it needs!

Beautiful House & Stunning Location

Beautiful, well laid-out home with stunning views of the coastline from inside and outside the home. Location is just off Hwy 1 a few miles from Gualala making day trips north to Mendocino or south along the coast easy. Cooks Beach is a few minutes walk down the road, it’s small but pretty. The house layout allows for a lot of privacy - huge master on one end (plus an additional bedroom) and on the other end a room with bath half a flight down, then a family room with TV and laundry/bath another half flight down. Great kitchen with Wolf stove opens to large living/dining area and deck. Highly recommend, we’ll be back!

Spectacular, mesmerizing view.

Very private, large, comfortable house with great separate facilities for 3-4 couples. Spacious kitchen with some gaps and uneven quality in utensils, pots/pans etc. Lots of deferred maintenance; be ready to wash your own dishes as the dishwasher is down to its last drawer, and it’s leaking.

Great location, just rundown and dirty

Needs a rental overhaul, many things not working. Including locks on doors electronics and main fireplace.Mouse poop all over the whole house, window seals, under cushions on sofas, it was gross Carpet torn and badly stained, Internet was unreliable so the TV didn’t work but the views made up for the lack of TV. Good location to cooks beach.Overall disappointed in the rental and quality of the house itself

Gorgeous, little misses on maintenance

This house is more gorgeous than its pictures show -- huge and amazing views of the ocean and sun from morning til night. Exceeded expectations on that front! On the other hand, there were were problems with doors that didn't open to the outer decks and cobwebs that were sort of baffling. Not 100% up to par on some minor maintenance stuff that added some small dissonance to the overall splendor of the place.

Perfect Escape well laid out for three couples

This house has everything you want for a weekend away and a base to explore the Mendocino Coast. A lovely layout with big bedrooms that are well separated and very quiet it's ideal for a multi-couple getaway. Great bathrooms great kitchen and world-class view of the ocean. Plus it's on a quiet side street only a mile or two from town so convenient but incredibly quiet. Like any rental, a thing or two was broken while we were there. Vacasa generally updates you on these before you sign so just pay attention. The dishwasher was broken for us and there is no telescope. Overall an outstanding value with excellent beds and dining set up

Best View on the coast! Comfortable Roomy and Perfect!!

The views from this home were breathtaking all week!! We absolutely loved it! The beds and furnishings very comfortable. The master shower and tub are incredible. Plenty of space to put all your belongings. Two living areas so it was very comfortable. Gualala point was the biggest beach and very close 5-10 min drive. Cooks beach was walking distance and perfect! There are lots of trails closeby to hike and have picnics. From the home you don't feel so close to the beach that you feel like you're on a cliff but NOTHING is in the way of your view to see the beach or walk right over. This was the perfect stay. Out and away from hustle bustle...very peaceful. All the stars were in view at night on the clear nights. A couple small grocery stores are in Gualala 2-5 min away. A one screen movie theatre up near point arena light house. The light house had incredible views. It was only a few hours up to the large growth redwoods in Humboldt State Forest. The coast had a lot of turns and mountains in areas so be ready to drive carefully and small cars are probably easier but honestly we got used to it and drove the whole thing in a huge expedition so its all safe and doable just new to people driving in mountains and on bluffs. We are definately coming again. The home was perfect. Very large balcony. Wonderful views. We even brought Granny who is 90 and she loved it! There are stairs so we just held her arms and she walked them. She loved the views from the home and we had SO much fun playing with the kids on the beaches!

Mesmerizing Views, deferred maintenance

Can’t beat the views and three couples can stay quite comfortably in privacy and community. Excellent kitchen space, comfortably heated, sliding doors are working, and a new dishwasher is much appreciated. When our friends arrived partway through our stay (Tuesday) we discovered that a bathroom sink was not delivering hot water. I called the Vacasa number and eventually the local office got in touch to say they would take care of it. Not hearing from them, I called the next afternoon to be informed that our problem was “on their radar.” The trash had also not been picked up on Tuesday, the day that the literature at the house suggested it be put out for removal. The Vacasa office said their handyman would pick up some trash to make room for ours. The trash people came Friday, and I’m so grateful to solid waste of Willits. Vacasa never followed up on the trash or the sink. Our valued guest washed her face and hands in cold water for the duration. We will come back to this house but we are well prepared for disappointment and expectations for service are low. Needs go unmet, communication does not exist, the carpet gets filthier and filthier, but the view is incomparable and the house is so comfortable. I wish I could quit you, Vacasa. All you needed to do was call me and say,sorry we can’t come out to fix the sink until after your week at the house is over?
