Returned again

Pop in the entry code and open the door to a wall of newly cleaned windows that display a view that never fails to take my breath away. That view can't be beat - which is why we keep returning to Cove House. Since the afternoons were toasty, we opened the doors to let in the sound and smell of the ocean. Perfect.

Lovely and relaxing

I was recuperating from an injury and this was the ideal location. We found it exactly as described other than it's in Gualala, not Sea Ranch. The hot tub with the ocean view was great and everything we needed was provided or available a short drive away.

Relaxing Getaway - Inaccurate Listing

The house was very nice. The view was amazing. Kitchen had everything needed to cook for two.Minor noise from California 1, but not much.Hot tub was wonderful.Be aware, though, that the house DOES NOT have a working wood stove, despite the title and listing information for the property. This was something of a disappointment for us.

Cozy With An Awesome View

This is a comfortable place for a couple. Amenities are close at Gualala. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the waves in the cove below. Our only issue was that when we arrived, the code that unlocks the door didn't work. It was easily remedied by calling VRBO who gave us a new code.

Magnificent view & hot tub

Lovely stay with my wife and infant. Simple house on the coast with a view that is well worth the price. Saw and heard seals from the house. Hot tub was ready for us on arrival. House was clean and everything functioned. Wall heater in bedroom and living area kept the house warm as well as the wood burning fireplace. Our 9 month old was warm and happy and so were we. If you're looking for an extra fancy house with bells and whistles, just look at the view and then look at it again while sitting in the hot tub and ask yourself, do I really need bells and whistles when I have this view? Could the house use some upgrades, sure. But it was more than enough for us and we will be back.

Clean, Cozy and Comfortable

It was a pleasant treat to spend time so close to the ocean at a decent price. The place is cozy and very comfortable for a long weekend away. Very pleased and very grateful for the chance to enjoy this property. Thank You to the owners for allowing others to enjoy this piece of peace with nature.

Cove House is my new happy place

Hello future Cove House enjoyers - my recent stay was so satisfying. The striking ocean view and the sound of the waves and the large sunny deck with a large clean hot tub makes it the perfect get away. Two out of two thumbs up.

Place was good, Vacasa was a nightmare!

Unfortunately Vacasa confirmed a change in my reservation in writing and then didn't honor their confirmation and it wound up costing an extra 1000! Beware when dealing with them.

Beautiful ocean views

This little place was perfect for us. The furnishings were clean and comfortable, hot tub with view of water was super! …..And it was already heated when we arrived. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment for cooking and all necessary utensils. A nice little yard and deck. Close to highway, but no highway noise! The only irritation/confusion was the VRBO & Vacasa relationship. Why two businesses we had to respind to. That is not very personalised

Heaven on Earth

The Cove House is perfect! One morning, I spent an hour and a half watching two little whales directly in front of me, in the little cove. They kept looking up at me! This home is peaceful and has everything you could possibly want or need. I was struck by how many people wrote in their guest book about having "epiphanies" and "taking stock in their life" and "a new perspective on my life". I had experienced the exact three statements well before I read the guest book. TRULY A MAGICAL PLACE. Thank you to the owners!

Second time staying here

This was our second time staying here. We love coming up in the off season as there’s less people in the area. It’s usually rainy but we got lucky this trip.

Beautiful view, cozy house

The view was amazing, the house was very cozy and well stocked. It could use a few updates - the electrical outlets are loose and things did not stay plugged in well, the blinds have seen better days, and the baseboard heaters are not up to the task of heating. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and dishes, the living room is very comfortable, the windows make everything feel very open. The hot tub was amazing. The house is located very conveniently to Gualala and Point Arena. The Surf market is nearby and had a great selection - especially for such a small market - and was reasonably priced. I would absolutely stay there again.

Great romantic getaway house but with a couple of shortcomings

We spent 4 nights at this house and it was pretty stellar. The view is amazing and the hot tub was great. I would give this home 5 stars except for the following minor issues. We like to cook and we planned on making all of our meals here. The problem is that the stove top has some issues. The burners would get to temperature but then fade out and then get hot again. It made cooking very challenging. The second issue is that there was a mouse in the rafters. It only occurred one night but we could here it making noise and squeaking. I know that the location is near the woods so I wasn't too concerned but it terrified my partner. The third issue is that that the check in time is 4pm and the check out time is 10am. This cut down on the amount of time that we could enjoy the home. 10 am is very early to depart after 4 nights of relaxation. 11 am would be better. Noon would be optimal.
