Great home near ocean

It was a great property near the ocean and bluff trails/ hiking trails. It is also located in the northern part of Sea Ranch, so it is close to town (Gualala)—just a beautiful home and location.

Idyllic stay

The property was just as advertised and a lovely getaway for us for two nights. The access to coastal walks was a breeze and gorgeous, and the proximity to what we wanted to e plots was exactly as described. The house is very well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and instructions were clear and precise. Thank you! We’ll be back!

Perfect location

Loved our stay. We have been renting in Sea Ranch for over 40 years and this is our favorite! The location, short distance to the bluff and well maintained home made for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Castlehaven!

Castlehaven is a slice of heaven

My husband and I, along with his sister and her husband just had a fabulous weekend at Castlehaven. The architecture of the home itself is quite unique. Add the perfect Sea Ranch location, two ensuite bedrooms in the house (there is also a third bedroom that we did not use), well equiped kitchen, hot tub -- all 5 minutes from the Bluff Trail, and it is truly a special place. Communication with our host was quite easy and check out a dream. We hope to return!

Castle haven stay

Excellent location at the north end of The Sea Ranch. Convenient to golf course, trails, several beaches, Gualala businesses and river activities. Has a private ‘feel’ and is nicely appointed.

Lovely Stay at Castlehaven

This was our second stay at Castlehaven, and once again, it did not disappoint. We loved the breathtaking views, the cozy and well-appointed furniture, the relaxing hot tub, and, most of all, the charming piano. Communication with the host was straightforward and flawless. As there was no moon during our stay, the stars put on a marvelous show each night too. Highly recommend.

A perfect place to relax or explore

It was my first trip to above SF area, and I am really happy that I found the castlehaven. It is the perfect place, whether you want to stay indoors and relax or you want to explore outdoors and walk to the beach. I am definitely planning on going back for my next vacation!
