Vista Grande

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A marvelous classic Sea Ranch home, Vista Grande is wonderful, with sweeping white water views of Black Point. This three bedroom house features stunning architecture, lots of natural wood, a beautiful stone fireplace, a hot tub, and a sauna.

This home has an open and complete cook's kitchen with a spacious eating area that has a beautiful ocean view. The large table in the eating area is a natural gathering place to talk over a cup of coffee, read the newspaper, listen to your favorite songs on the CD/MP3 player or have a poker tournament. In addition to the spacious kitchen/dining area, there is a separate formal dining room.

The fireplace in the living room warms the serene reading areas. Curl up in the window seat with a book or pair of binoculars to look for whales or watch the hawks, rabbits and deer that pass through the beautiful meadow.

The master bedroom features a California king bed, wood burning stove, CD player/radio and views of the ocean. The second bedroom has another California king bed, and the third bedroom is a comfortable loft with a queen bed and ocean view. Up to six guests can stay here comfortably.

Enjoy the view from the hot tub or relax in the sauna. There are two decks, which are nice places to sit and watch the sunset as the waves crash over Black Point.

Designed by Donald Sandy Jr. and built by Helmut Emke in 1968, Vista Grande also features two additions over the years, both designed by Obie Bowman.

Nice house, close to the beach trails.

Comfortable house with nice ocean views. Only a couple minute walk to the beach trail which keeps you from having to get in a car. Enjoyed out stay and will probably be back again.

Peaceful getaway

The house was beautiful, spacious, and well furnished. We felt like we had a lot of privacy, but it was still an easy drive to town if we needed anything. The view of the ocean in the daytime is spectacular, and you can see the stars at night.

Breathtaking view

The views were incredible at this home. The interior layout is very funky, but it's not a big deal. Entryway was beautiful and it was so quiet and peaceful during our entire stay. We were completely relaxed and enjoyed our stay, but for the price, there's other homes in the same area that offer a lot more amenities than this one did.

So beautiful

The house was exactly as pictured. It is such a beautiful location with lots to explore. The only negative was how fast the time went and we wished we could have stayed longer!

Fantastic Vacation Home

Vista Grande was the perfect vacation home. The ocean views (and sounds) were amazing; the kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils, plates, cups, herbs, pots, etc that anyone could need; the hot tub and sauna were sooo relaxing; the beds were extremely comfortable as was the rest of the house. We did a lot of hiking, much of it directly from Vista Grande, along the gorgeous ocean bluffs. Even the neighbors were incredibly nice & helpful. We can't wait to visit again.

lovely location, floor plan a bit strange

loved looking at at the ocean from all the rooms but the shared bathroom of the first floor bedrooms was strange and the upstairs bedroom was not too private. the kitchen is great, well stocked and even a bottle of wine! we had a great stay and loved walking and looking and would consider coming back but just as a couple. living room adnidning room comfortable and outdoor decks with views are lovely.

Such a beautiful home!

We loved our stay at Vista Grande. It's very private in a cul-de-sac with only a few homes. Most rooms have gorgeous views of the meadow and ocean--we saw deer playing right outside the house and whales migrating north. There are other houses around but you barely see them from inside the house. Kitchen is very well stocked and spacious. Living room is beautiful and comfortable. Loved listening to the waves from the house and the hot tub. Sauna is great too. We'll definitely come back!

Lovely sea ranch home

We loved the hot tub and sauna. Be warned that there is not a ton of privacy in this house. It was not a problem at all for our group but one bedroom is an open loft over the living room and the other two bathrooms share a toilet and shower that are directly in the walkway to the sauna and hot tub. We loved how well stocked this home was. the kitchen was very well equipped down to spices, salt, pepper etc. The views were lovely and the access to the bluff trail was perfect.

Excellent Accommodations

We had a person with a walker in our party. It was perfect for him. No steps to his bedroom and bathroom. He wasn’t able to sit in the living room due to steps. We had a wonderful time!

Beautiful view but smaller than photos

Used to staying at Sea Ranch homes further north in the community but decided on this location to save $. The house online looks spacious but design has the square footage broken up in to many small rooms; only the kitchen and eating area was as expected. The living room television is more like a computer monitor in size but the room is so small that "it kinda fits". Needs some repair and updating overall. Not a suitable home for over 50 years of age due to all the small turns and steps to move through the house.

A perfect home in a perfect location

We loved staying here for a week. The house was beautiful and charming, and perfect for me, my husband, and my toddler. We walked out the door a short walk to the bluff trail. At night, we soaked in the hot tub under the stars. The kitchen is adorable and retro and extremely well-equipped. We loved everything about this place and would return again!

Perfect getaway

Charming craftsman home, beautiful location, grand ocean view. The location was remote, about 20 minutes drive to the nearest shops or restaurants, which suited us well. It was totally quiet, wildlife was abundant, and the stargazing was amazing.
