5TH DAY FREE! GREAT FAMILY HOUSE. BRING YOUR DOG TOO!

This was a perfect ouse for kids, a dog and grandparents! It's in a beautiful setting with amazing views of the ocean and sunsets. The disappointment was in the space available for a week's groceries for 8 people. Too much of the owners stuff and not enough space for renters. Not a welcoming kitchen at all. The living area would be much improved by a comfortable sectional or two sofas...too much chopped up furniture, not comfortable at all. The saving grace was all the bedrooms, especially the kids', were sufficient. Just no room for renters' food, supplies, etc.

This is a beautiful home in a natural "wooded" setting, with a gorgeous view of the ocean. The home was very comfortable and offered a variety of relaxing things to do right there at the property. There are numerous sleeping possibilities that would make this a great place for a large family, or a gathering of many friends. We enjoyed leaving the bedroom windows open to allow the sounds of the ocean to lull us to sleep. A deer greeted us at the end of the driveway first thing in the morning, while hawks soared above during evening hours.

The fenced yard offers a nice play area for small children and larger dogs, but is not secure enough for smaller dogs. However, the deck area is securely fenced and provides room for small dogs to stretch their legs while their owners relax in the hot tub.

Unfortunately, I could not give this property five stars because the kitchen counter was dirty with crumbs and beverage spills, and there was a shriveled up pizza in the refrigerator when we arrived. Hopefully the house keeper will pay closer attention to this in the future. It was a very minor disappointment that would not prevent us from recommending this rental home to others. We would definitely stay here again if we found ourselves traveling in the area.

Overall, this is a lovely, restful place to melt your troubles away!

My family had a great time at this oceanfront cabin in Gualala. The house is comfortable and very relaxing, stocked with anything that you could possibly think of for a vacation to the coast including books, (tons of amazing kid's books), wireless internet, a well stocked kitchen. The view is incredible, with a hot tub looking out to the Pacific Ocean. We took the recommendation to go to Cook's Beach one mile away and had this amazing beach to ourselves! Great place for kids, with the play set in the back yard, and for dogs, fully fenced and safe. Also was great for my sister who was wheelchair bound during our stay. Easy access for her and house was easy to maneuver. Michael was very responsive to my questions and the reservation process was simple and straightforward. I would recommend this rental and would love to stay here again. Thanks!
