Ocean & River View EVC Hot & Cold Tubs Outdoor Shower Walk to Town Dog Friendly

Spacious oceanfront property with view of the Gualala River meeting the sea, this home has been delighting people for decades. It s toward the end of a culdesac hidden from the street, secluded yet only 3 to 5 mins walking distance to Downtown Gualala that has Surf Market (organic options), Gualala Supermarket, Trinks Cafe, etc. The location is private and extremely convenient. Well behaved dogs are welcome ($40 per night 2 dogs max). Cedar Chlorine and Bromine Free Hot and Cold Tubs with an outdoor shower.

*NOTE:
The maximum number of guests allowed at all times on the property is 15.
15 guests include the number of children as some groups might find 15 adults way too cramped. That is really subjective to the comfort level of each group.

We try to as transparent as possible to the layout of the house with lots of pictures to give a sense of the capacity of the property, but can not predict how comfortable each group would be with their quantity of guests.

**CLEANING:

All common surfaces are cleaned and then disinfected with an all natural hospital grade food safe Virucide called Benefect Decon 30.

There are extra spray bottles under each sink for use for optional additional disinfection. We also have put 99.9% copper tape on most of the door handles (copper starts killing viruses within 10 mins to 4 hours). We have asked housekeeping to change used linens

The property is over half an acre and completely fenced - offering plenty of space for kids and dogs to play! The fence is 5 to 6 feet tall and should work for most dogs except for determined escape artists. A wrap around deck offers views of the Gualala River, Pacific Ocean, and California coast. Cedar wood hot and cold tubs for hydrotherapy on the deck - on a clear night the stars and Milky Way are on full display. Start with the hot and then the cold - alternate back and forth to feel like a million bucks. The deck has two picnic tables and a gas grill. A tree platform in the backyard provides unobstructed views of the river and the ocean - a great spot to read and nap in the hammocks.

There are three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs. The downstairs master bedroom has a heated drying rack with a heated Toto Electronic Bidet. The other downstairs bathroom has a classic claw foot soaking tub with a heated Smart Bidet. The kitchen, dining room, and living room are downstairs.

The upstairs has two bedrooms. The master bedroom has its own wrap around porch with magnificent ocean and river views with a Jack and Jill bathroom. The other guest room has a twin bunk bed with a convertible sofa that can also become a comfortable double bed (we have extra toppers in the closet).

Our fast Wifi is with Business Level with Further Reach (18 to 35 MBPS) .

There is a small TV in the living room closet that has a streaming Firestick with Netflix and Amazon Prime. There are also plenty of Blu Ray and Dvds. We do not have cable or Direct TV although you can probably use Hulu to watch regular TV channels if you have an account.

We strive to use nontoxic, sustainable, and environmentally friendly cleaning products and toiletries. Examples are brands such as Andalou Organics, Acure, Shikai, etc.

Well appointed kitchen has:

Kitchenaid Induction Stovetop and Double Oven with Steam
Coffee maker and grinder
Stainless Steel Electric Kettle
Instant Pots
Ronco Rotisserie
Blender
Microwave
Toaster
Toaster Oven
Spices
Stainless Steel Pots and Pans
Ceramic Anodized Aluminum Induction Pans
Electrical Ceramic Tea Kettle
Water Filter in the sink
Cuisinart Food Processor
Electric Waffle Iron
Ceramic Muffin Tin
Baking Sheets

We strive to stock a good variety of spices but if needed there are two grocery stores within a short 5 minute walk from the house.

There is a nearby trail to walk along the ocean bluffs and it's less than 2 miles to drive to Gualala Regional Park with trails next to the beach and ocean. You can kayak in the Gualala River. Cooks Beach is a more protected beach that is great to take dogs and kids to - just a few minutes drive up Highway 1 on CR-526. Beach combing, hiking, mushroom foraging, wine tasting, and golf are all nearby.

Incredible Views
This place has incredible views from all parts of the house and property, and is quiet enough so that you can hear the waves the entire time. The property is quite large...plenty of space to spread out with a large group, on grass, in a treehouse with a view, on decks, inside, etc. Property is in desperate need of a deep cleaning and refresh...stains on couches, rugs, etc., dog hair all over the place.

Memorial Day weekend in Gualala
We enjoyed our stay in this casual, comfortable home with an ocean view. Primary bedroom on the second floor has the best view and the ocean waves were most audible from that room. The large property is fenced which was helpful, given we had an active 3 year old with us. Deck with its long picnic table and benches plus numerous chairs made outdoor time together easy. Plus the weather was perfect! Thank you for the lovely weekend retreat!

Great Family Place
With four children in our group, this was one of the best places we stayed in the area. The fenced yard, tall rope swing, and luxury tree house were all a big hit. Also, the hot and cold tubs. We had a wonderful intergenerational family gathering here and found everything very well set up for our group of 7 adults, 3 kids, and 1 baby. Would return in a heartbeat!

Directions clear, excellent manual which we referred to at times. We enjoyed both the home, yard and sound of the waves as well as the town. Walked to town on numerous occasions. Spent two days at Gualala Point Park—could not get enough of the outdoors there.

Great family retreat
Our main criterion was a home with similar sized bedrooms for 4 families (grandparents, kids with grandkids) and a dining table that accommodates all of us 14. The dot on I is the charming personalized outfit, great kitchen supplies, phantastic hot and cold tubs, the massaging chair, and some more special treats. The views were as advertized and we enjoyed it very much. The host was very responsive, especially during a power outage.

What a magical place!
LOVED this place, would go back. Hot tub with cold plunge of my dreams, loved that it doesnt use chlorine as my skin cant handle it. Only critique is it says sleeps 15 but that must count on kiddos coming, and we had adults and families that left kids behind, and felt we were short a bed. But we adapted and had a wonderful time. What a beautiful place! Loved the huge lawn for lawn games!

A weekend in Gualala
The pictures did not do the property justice. Our group enjoyed the large yard and being able to spread out comfortably throughout the campus. The kitchen is well stocked with every tool or pantry need you can think of. The proximity to town allowed us to meander down to the farmers market on Saturday and enjoy all that Gualala had to offer. We hope to come back soon.

Mini Family Reunion / Grandparent Memorial
This is a spacious home with 5 Bedrooms and 3 Bathrooms. Perfect for family gatherings, girl's getaways and for multiple couples vacationing together. It is well equipped with all you need and the little town of Gualala is close by as are other attractions of this beautiful coastline of Northern California. Our total number was only 3 adults + 2 children but there is room for more! If the weather is warmer, there is a nice deck all around to enjoy. The Property Manager was very responsive to our request for a space heater (it took a day to heat up the house as it was chilly when we arrived) for an elderly member of our group, which was much appreciated. The large TV upstairs was great for the kids and adults! The Hot Tubs, while an attractive feature, were somewhat difficult to use because of the heavy covers...also the cooktop required reading the instruction manual if you are not familiar with electric induction ranges! Fortunately, the hosts provide a manual for the home. Groceries from the two stores in town were pricey, so suggest a stop to shop before heading out to the coast. You cannot walk to the beach from here but a short drive North or South of town take you to some amazing beaches. Good Wi-Fi but unreliable cell phone reception. All in all, a nice property for a larger group and a perfect place to make your "basecamp" as you explore this lovely area! Touring tip: Check out the Anderson Valley for Wine Tasting!
