Audubon House

Behold the magnificent ocean and meadow views of the Sea Ranch when you escape to this beautiful two-bedroom home, a spacious and dog-friendly retreat that offers an ocean-facing deck, a private tree-lined patio and hot tub, and wonderful access to nearby beaches and trails. Conveniently located five miles south of Gualala's restaurants, art galleries, and grocery stores, this two-level home is scenically situated on the ocean side of California Highway 1. You'll be just steps from the Bluff Trail that runs between Black Point and Gualala Point Regional Park, less than one mile from the tide pools of Shell Beach, and less than two miles from Walk On Beach.

Thanks to both an open living area and private sleeping quarters, this home is ideal for couples' vacations and family getaways to one of the most stunning stretches of the Northern California Coast. The interior living area was thoughtfully placed on the second floor, allowing guests to enjoy sweeping views at every turn. Read an engrossing novel from the comfort of the leather sofa as you watch for whale spouts on the water. With granite countertops, a stainless steel refrigerator, and a dishwasher for your convenience, the full kitchen provides ample space to prepare meals. You'll find plenty of seating around the dining room table, as well as a flatscreen cable TV and DVD player in the living room for after-dinner movie nights. But why eat indoors when you have a spectacular outdoor deck that overlooks the ocean and meadow? Prepare fresh local seafood on the gas grill, enjoy evening meals around the patio table, and watch the spectacular sunset as you share a bottle of local Pinot Noir. The tree-lined patio offers guests a wonderful sense of privacy, and is the perfect place to soak in the hot tub or let your dogs stretch their legs. Please be advised, however, that there is a two-dog maximum.


And as you spend your days jogging along the Bluff Trail or strolling the length of Walk On Beach, you'll always have a private washer and dryer to come home to, as well as WiFi for your added convenience. Swimming pools and tennis courts are also available at the Sea Ranch Del Mar, Ohlson, and Moonraker Recreation Centers. Whether you're hoping to explore the great Northern California outdoors or planning a weekend of quiet relaxation, Sea Ranch manages to offer it all. You can watch passing grey whales, harbor seals, and California sea lions from the nearby Bluff Trail, or head less than four miles north to play 18 holes at the Sea Ranch Golf Links. Guests can also explore this majestic region by car, as the 54-mile stretch of Highway 1 north to Mendocino is one of the loveliest drives in the state.

Audubon is a good stay!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Audubon. This is such a great house! The views!!! We've been coming up to the Sea Ranch since the 90's! and have stayed at many, many houses. They all usually have good views, but this house is situated in such a great spot. It has views out the front and out the "back". (it's basically one BIG room up stairs.). So, nice. The Ekornes chairs in the living room are very comfortable. The couch is great too. And the window seat on the other side is great. The beds are comfy. The house thermostat and the hot tub need updating. (but that won't ruin your stay). Sadly, I had to do a ZOOM meeting while on vacation. I sat on the deck and the connection was flawless. Very good for a Sea Ranch home. This is a good house! And pet friendly.

Perfection
The Sea Ranch is such a special place. The Audubon house offered every accommodation for the sweetest experience for myself and my 3 teens. I love birds and I love the homes bird theme amongst the preserved natural setting of coastal bluffs, walking the trails along them and hearing the surf breaks from the home was truly perfect. We all wished we could stay there forever

Lovely very comfortable home in my favorite area at Sea Ranch. Kitchen, bathrooms well equipped. I did not use the hot tub so I can’t speak to that. My only complaint is that even though the house was clean, the baseboards and especially under the beds was very dusty. I spent a lot of time sneezing and itching eyes when getting into bed. I dropped and item of clothing near the bed and when I looked under it to retrieve my item I could see a very heavy dust collection

Beautiful views
The house’s position perched up high offers incredible views not only of the ocean but for star gazing. The place is very clean. It has everything you need. The linens on the beds could use a refresh, but other than that it’s a great spot. This has nothing to do with the house, but I do wish the management company Vacasa would offer more than one towel per guest. It cheapens the experience and the towels are thin and rough. Just my two cents but nicer towels and a couple extra would take the stay to a different level. We are super active while at Sea Ranch and take multiple showers. Nothing worse than using a damp towel post warm shower.

Nice enough
Nice enough for a 4/5 rating. Pleasant home in good location. Inverted layout puts the living room and kitchen high off the ground. Steep stairs into the house and down to the lower level bedrooms. Surprised the lower level had no heating and space heaters were required! The house was clean but please sweep under the bed frames! The guest book is dated and desperately needs an update. High deck provides pleasant outdoor space and indoor furniture was comfortable. The pantry was stocked with extra/left-over supplies- thanks. Some nice cookware but time to discard the older pots. Vacasa staff was responsive when we called I’ve questions about hearing and trash pickup. Overall, nice stay but this felt like a corporate rental that could use some updates.
