Inspired by a view of the Sea
A writer's paradise, this home has had more best selling books written within its walls than any home on the Mendocino Coast line. An inspiration to authors, the energy at 247 Solstice in Sea Ranch is tranquil and still–making it the perfect romantic get away or writer's retreat from the world. Decorated with the ocean in mind, the house is elegant and comfortable all at once. Three bedrooms (one set up for kids with two sets of bunk beds sleeping 4) and one queen guest room and one California King, this 2500 square foot home is perfect for one to two couples and four kids. With chairs and sitting areas to fall back into in every corner, the home is the ideal respite to grab a book and disappear into its pages. A perfect setting to enjoy all of the amenities of coastal living at its best, a short walk from a sauna and heated pool plus tennis courts. The private sea ranch foot path is just off the deck, and stretches for about 13 miles up and down one of the most gorgeous cliff-side coastlines in the world. Walk-on beach is a mere ten minute trek, but there's no need to go further than the front room for full enjoyment of a spectacular view to watch the whales go by from the couch. Additional guest fee for more than 2 persons will be $50.00 per night per guest.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house. We sat out on the deck most of the time. We enjoyed walking the cliff trail and walking down to the beach. Thank you for sharing your home.

Kristin’s place was amazing. Extremely clean and steps from the Pacific Ocean. We also enjoyed the amenities of sea ranch (going to the pool everyday, private parking). I would highly recommend this property for families. You can have a relaxing day at the beach or pool, or go for a hike and see wildlife. Carole was a great host

We really enjoyed our stay here especially the deck and the ocean views. Sea Ranch is a very special place. Don’t miss the seal beach and long walks on the bluff trail. Also Trinks, Anabel’s clothing consignment and Salvarae in Gualala and dinner at the Sea Ranch Lodge.

One of the nicest properties I have stayed in. 5 stars for sure. Sea ranch is spectacular on it’s own and then add a beautiful house with all the amenities you can’t beat it.

Perfect location — on the bluff, as well as short walk to the DelMar pool. We were also thrilled to learn (I read three of their books! ) about the Carlsons.

wonderful location a few steps from the bluff trail, great deck with fabulous ocean views. very comfortable, well appointed home -- lots of great spots to curl up with a book, including window nooks with sweeping ocean and coastal views -- and well-stocked kitchen. Carole, the property manager, was very helpful. hope to be able to return!

The location of this welcoming home has direct access to the Coastal Trail and stunning views of the ocean.
The property is ideally situated: views, easy access to recreational facilities, a golf course and the coastal path.
The interior is pristine, open, welcoming and comfortable. We enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, relaxing hours reading, and appreciating the area's peacefulness and natural beauty.

This is our third stay at this house; we keep coming back because it's a beautiful home right on the water and filled with the things you need for a good trip. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked, and the home is clean (smells clean and looks clean!). Every time we visit there are small improvements to see: a new rug here, a new grill outside. Just a great home!

We needed to get away and relax. This is the perfect location. The house is better in person than the photos. The ocean views are gorgeous! The master bed is super comfy! This was our first visit to Sea Ranch and will definitely go back!
Thank you!
