Sea Ranch 2BR oceanfront home — meadow views near Black Point

Summary:

Gaze across swaying coastal meadow to the open Pacific from this classic two-story oceanfront Sea Ranch home, hand-built by its artisan owners. Two queen bedrooms sleep 4, with soaring ceilings, original tile and pottery, and an upstairs desk for remote work. Stengel Beach is under a mile north; Black Point trails are a 6-minute walk.



The Space:

Gaze out at swaying coastal meadows and the wide Pacific Ocean from this classic, two-story Sea Ranch home. This oceanfront getaway features wide open living spaces, soaring ceilings, large windows, and plenty of amenities for a truly memorable stay at the coast. The home was hand-built by its owners, a father and son; the tile work and bathroom sinks, along with the art and pottery throughout, were the work of the late owner's wife. Prepare your favorite recipes in the well-equipped kitchen, then dine together at the adjacent table. In the evenings, or on lazy or rainy days, an inviting living area with a large flatscreen TV awaits. The upstairs bedroom includes a desk and chair in case you need to sneak off for remote work or schooling — with complimentary internet throughout. In whale season (December through April), the horizon puts on a show you can watch from the living room.



Sea Ranch is a planned, oceanside community boasting uniquely designed homes, the historic Sea Ranch Chapel, and a 50-mile trail system with multiple beach access points. Take morning walks down to Stengel Beach less than a mile north or Pebble Beach just over a mile south. Bring your clubs and tee off among the cypress at the Sea Ranch Golf Links five miles up the coast.

Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.



Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.



Whale watching season runs from December through April -- grab the binoculars and watch for gray whale spouts from your window. Spring (April-June) brings a wildflower show across the coastal meadows -- lupine, poppies, and iris paint the landscape. Summer (June-September) brings the warmest days and longest light. Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday.
