Seas the Day

Newly renovated for 2024! A private hot tub, gorgeous ocean views, and a dog-friendly attitude await you at this classic and charming hexagon-shaped Sea Ranch home. A beautiful interior complete with a spiral staircase is the perfect home base for your next Sonoma Coast getaway.

Sea Ranch also has three recreation centers with pools, tennis, and saunas, as well as miles of hiking trails and a number of peaceful and beautiful beaches.

Located right near the Shell Beach access trail (roughly a 10-minute walk), the One-Eyed Jack’s Playground, and hiking trails just steps from home, you’ll also be five miles from Gualala for groceries, dining options, and a couple of galleries. The Sea Ranch Golf Links is four miles north, and a day trip to Mendocino is about an hour's drive (53 miles).

The unique hexagon floorplan boasts dramatic vaulted ceilings, a glass-framed cupola, and plenty of windows for natural light. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms and a living area with a wood-burning stove and window seat, two decks, and sweeping ocean and meadow views. It is not uncommon to see deer, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, turkeys, and even migrating whales!

The kitchen at this cozy and eclectic home has a modern stove/oven and range, as well as all the other major appliances (including a dishwasher). Preparing meals in this space will no doubt be easy and fun! When it’s time for a meal, the dining table seats six, and there is additional counter seating nearby. Two of the three bedrooms are on this main level.

Down the spiral staircase, you’ll find a relaxing sunroom with a second wood-burning stove and the primary bedroom - a relaxing retreat with views of the meadow and ocean and direct access to the hot tub area. This lower level also features the second bathroom with a gorgeous Mexican hand-painted sink and a walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead.

Outdoor space abounds on the lower level, with an enclosed courtyard, a spacious deck, a charcoal grill, and a hot tub under the stars. There is also a large-capacity washer/dryer. There are two TVs with satellite, a DVD player, and lightning-fast WiFi.

Awesome Home with Lots of Amenities

We loved Seas the Day as a Vacasa rental. It was our first visit to Sea Ranch and the proximity to the beach, amenities in the house and sleeping options were definitely a major hit for this home. The kitchen is outfitted to the nines, with so many plates, cups, bowls, pots, pans, etc. I can't think of anything that this house lacked. They have a substantial collection of family-friendly board games (almost too much, the closet was bursting!) to entertain you, when you are not mesmerized by the view of the ocean from the nearly floor to ceiling windows. The artwork and decor are tasteful with homey touches. Lots of seating options so the kids could spread out and have their own reading nook. The two bunk beds were perfect for our purposes, with a Queen bed on the upper/main floor and King bed on the lower/first floor. The washer and dryer looked pretty new. There were plenty of towels for bathroom use and separate ones for pool/beach/hot tub use. The only downside is the lack of screen doors for the sliding glass doors (except in the Primary bedroom downstairs), as it got quite warm in the afternoon with the abundant light coming through the large windows facing West. We tried leaving the glass door open to allow the ocean breeze to flow through, but then, lots of flies/bugs came in, including a hummingbird! We had to work gingerly to help the hummingbird fly out, as it kept flying into the large windows thinking it could go outside that way. Overall, this is an excellent home and we would definitely return here again for our next Sea Ranch trip.

everything was perfect

This property was clean, spacious, and beautiful. We had ample room to relax and enjoy our time together, while also having our own private spaces. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed for meal preparation, including a generous selection of utensils, cookware, and essentials. I especially appreciated the easy access to nearby trails and the private courtyard area where our dog could come and go freely from the house. The property also offered a variety of puzzles, games, and books, adding to our enjoyment. The mattresses were exceptionally comfortable, with a medium-firm feel and soft cotton sheets. The WIFI was super fast. The heater worked fine, and the wood-burning stoves provided extra warmth and coziness during the cold mornings. The hot tub was clean and a real highlight of our stay. The views were truly spectacular, and there were many indoor and outdoor areas to sit (or lie in an awesome window seat) to relax and soak in the beauty—beautiful sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we loved every aspect of the property. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Great time at the Octagon House in Sea Ranch

One of the best homes we have rented in Sea Ranch (of about 10 over the years). Excellent location, close to Shell Beach and the seal rookery. Great layout. Lots of new investment in the home. Relatively well appointed kitchen (fridge could use an update but other than that, great). Comfortable beds throughout. Nice hot tub. Strong recommend for a house that balances some recent updates with original old school Sea Ranch charm.

Another wonderful stay

This is by far our favorite place at Sea Ranch (and we have stayed in many homes). There are lots of comfortable spots to relax, including several decks, a window seat large enough to really stretch out on, a fabulous hot tub under the stars, and super comfy beds (which is a big deal since everyone has their own preferences for mattresses). It was perfect for our dog as well, as there was a small, fenced in courtyard so he could do his business in the night without our having to put on the leash and go out into the cold with him. There was even a dog water and food station near the dining area so he could eat with the family. The location is great. About a 7 minute walk to the beach and close to a ton of trails, including our favorite- the Bluff trail. Fun board games were provided, which got everyone (even the teenager) off of their devices for a while. That being said, the WiFi was excellent. The kitchen had everything we needed also. In all, we have found our go-to home away from home at Sea Ranch.

Perfect

We had a great time here. Saw whales from the home, as well as lots of deer, turkeys, and rabbits. There were so many places to relax: the decks, hot tubs, comfortable chairs in front of windows with gorgeous views. This is by far our favorite home in Sea Ranch.

Amazing home!

We come to sea ranch often in the winter and this house was a gem. Beautiful windows, great layout, wonderful location! And the best part is we were able to bring our four legged friend to enjoy the fun.

Just OK for Sea Ranch

We have stayed in 4 homes at various times in the Sea Ranch, and this is the most underwhelming home we have stayed in. The floor plan is awkward, decor is off putting, and the house was not clean. There are no real porches, and the sliding doors on the upstairs don’t lock. We did not use the hot tub as it is in an enclosure with no view. The living room windows have a great view, but no patio or direct access to the outdoors. Kitchen is small and awkward as well. Will not be coming back to this house although we love Sea Ranch.

Excellent house!

This is a very well equipped house - we love to cook whenever we come to Sea Ranch and this kitchen has a good selection of cooking implements. The beds are comfortable and the ocean view is spectacular. There were a couple of maintenance issues - the bar in the shower upstairs has pulled out from the wall which is dangerous. Anything else was minor and to be expected in a rental.

Beautiful views

The house was lovely, the views were just as we hoped. The hot tub was partially covered from the elements, but still allowed for great view of sky and ocean. We would have appreciated a queen size bed in the bunk room, instead of bunks, but each family may have different needs. It was a wonderful stay.

Great location and setup

We loved bring the pups and having our crew of teens/young adults together here for a long weekend. Great weather and fabulous location. Well stocked kitchen and kitchen was good for meal prep, albeit crowded for more that one cook. Ceiling fan didn’t work, a few bulbs were out, and lots of spider webs that seemed to have been missed in the corners. Saw a mouse in the main living space at night but never any evidence of him eating out food (thankfully!) BBQ worked great as did the hot tub. We’d book the place again, just wish the maintenance team was a bit more thorough…

Beautiful location close to beach with peaceful view of meadow.

Interesting hex-shaped house with great views from common rooms. Central staircase a bit of a hazard for kids or seniors and should be noted in description I think. But, The house was a good fit for us and it pretty good shape. Kitchen a little overwhelming with too many sets of dishes, pots and pans many of which were not very clean. Downstairs a little musty. Overall it worked out.

Beautiful view, cozy beds, lots of character

We really enjoyed this charming house. Every room felt cozy and lived in, in a warm and welcoming way. The beach is an easy walk, and we loved watching the sunset from the giant windows in the living room. The Tv nook was great for the kids to watch movies. Our only complaints were really minor: there were no dish towels and not enough paper towels to get us through 4 days. There are so screens on the windows so when the upstairs got stuffy we ended up letting a few flies in. And the hot tub needed more water. And the dishwasher was a little old and didn’t work that well.
