Beautiful Home Beautiful View

Loved that the great room and both bedrooms had floor to ceiling windows that looked out to the ocean. Positively gorgeous! We have stayed in a lot of homes but this was incredible. Will definitely be coming back.

View is outstanding! One of the bathrooms is in poor shape with tub peeling and the bed has major sagging. It sounds like there are mice in the walls or in the ducts. Kitchen is in good shape.

Location, location, location

If you want an incredible view, high ceilings, and a hot tub, this is the place! It was spacious and clean. No, the house isn't ready for an Architectural Digest photo shoot - but that isn't its purpose. It is a vacation rental. So, there are some aesthetics that could be improved but the main thing is that it is functional. And the views are stunning. The deck is huge, and the hot tub was clean and enjoyable. The beds were comfortable and just right (not too firm, not too hard). I have made just a few suggestions to the property management. I would probably give it a 4.5 since there were a few things that need to be fixed. But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Best ocean side experience

The home is well situated on the Cliff to enjoy the ocean slapping against the rocks and shore! We celebrated our Anniversary and will definitely return to experience more. The home is loaded with well insulated windows and many sliding glass doors. The deck wraps around the entire ocean view with a jacuzzi situated just outside the master bedroom 💜

Spectacular Location

This house is located in a beautiful part of the Northern California coast. The views are absolutely spectacular. There is lots of glass that allow the house to fill with light. We really enjoyed just hanging out on the deck and made full use of the hot tub. At night you can see the stars from bed, it is amazing. This place has so many magical qualities, it is sad to report that the house itself needs quite a bit of work. The two main bathrooms have suffered major water damage, which is gross. The smaller bathroom has molding held together with painter’s blue tape. The floors in the main area are heavily damaged and need to be refinished. The deck and fencing are rotting. The kitchen cooktop does not have the correct grills, so pots don’t sit level. The kitchen is missing a handful of basic utensils, and the microwave was broken. The front door combo doesn’t always work. We spent a lot of time just trying to get into the house. This is such a special house it was sad to see that so many things that have been neglected.

The views were as advertised. Spectacular. The Jacuzzi was in fine working order. Bathrooms were clean. The biggest negative was the second bedroom bed was not suitable for 2 people as the mattress was too soft and caved into the middle when 2 people tried to sleep. It was only usable for 1 person, the the other person had to use the couch. Jody from the management company was very responsive to our request to bring a starter for the stove and bbq.

Cliff House oceanfront

The place was great with views of the ocean from every room of this oceanfront property.There is an Ant problem in the kitchen area that should be addressed. The second bedroom bathroom needs to be upgraded as it’s showing its age especially the tub.

What a view!

The views in this rental home are wonderful! So serene. As far as this home itself, it is a great layout for a couple with views from both bedrooms. The home has nice granite counters throughout. There is highway noise, but it is often covered up by the sound of the waves from the sea. It is disappointing that after so many reviewers have complained about the current shape that the home is in, stained carpet, cabinet doors missing, etc., nothing has been improved in years. I would love to return to this home if the owners make improvements. But until then I would not recommend this home to a friend or family.

Stunning from every room

The pictures of this property, while lovely, don't begin the capture its grandeur. We were stunned to open the door and feel as though we were already on the beach. The layout of the home ensures privacy and exceptional views from both bedrooms. The property is situated on a large lot, creating incredible privacy and serenity. The large back patio area provides ample opportunities to gaze out at crashing waves by day and shining constellations by night. The large back porch provides multiple options for enjoying the vibes, from the hot tub overlooking the water, with towels thoughtfully provided, to a dining set and chaise lounge. We were grateful for the grill and kitchen gear that made cooking from home easy (we didn't want to leave for meals!). One thing to note is we didn't actually find a trail to Cook's Beach. While it's close, walking on the narrow road is dangerous. So, as long as you're driving, go North to Anchor Bay, which is larger and safer, but just as peaceful and gorgeous, as Cook's. Also try to check out the Gualala Arts Center, which has indoor and outdoor exhibits plus lush trails that feel right out if Jurrasic Park. We absolutely cannot wait to return - the experience was worth every dime and we have now, unfortunately, been totally ruined for all other beach houses after experiencing the peace and beauty of Cliff House!

Beautiful home, beautiful views

We loved the spacious home and the fantastic views. With the windows open, it was so peaceful to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the ocean. Ugh! We loved it and hated having to come back to our regular lives!

Wonderful but also not

For the price. The state of the couch was terrible. Looked like it was taken off a free pile on the side of the road and felt that way too. Gross old and lumpy. The heater was so loud we couldn’t sleep. The light woke us up at 7am sharp- no blackout blinds. Beautiful but holy crap, very bright very early The bathrooms were reminiscent of a best western in need of repair. It really should cost less or be remodeled: it did not look like the pictures. Although it’s hard to beat a view like that.

Amazing views, house needs work

My husband and I have been going to the Beach House (as it was once known) for many years and have many great memories there. Same quiet, private setting and those amazing views. It used to be so well kept but sadly the house has seen much wear and tear over the years - many things that could and should be repaired or replaced especially given the cost to stay there. It definitely takes away from the whole experience. I had recommended it to friends in the past, but wouldn't do so again, and it's unlikely I would stay there again.

Beautiful location and beautiful home

Pros: - Amazing location - Beautiful home with a deck that wraps around the backside of the home. - Hot tub - Clean - Comfortable furniture Cons: - Microwave doesn't work most of the time (seems like the motor is dying) - While front of the house has beautiful massive windows, it really should have shades. I don't like at night that everyone driving by can see inside the home, and during the day, the sun significantly heats the house. Shades on those windows would be fantastic.

Honest review

Worst Gualala experience. We stay in the are every 2 month and tried different options. The view is good. That’s only one thing that was good. Beds are old, pillows are nasty(will provide photo), mold in showers, furniture is falling apart. The whole house needs to be refreshed and repaired, all nasty rugs should be thrown away. Protective nets on the slide doors have holes in them. Ants and spiders are everywhere. Next time I will go for a sea ranch stay, it’s always better than this old houses. Never ever again.
