"We loved this stay in Gualala. Great house with plenty of room, fully stocked kitchen, nice sun room for watching the waves. Great view from the primary bedroom. Large king size, comfortable bed with nice linens. The home was very clean, had a gate and was on a large lot so lots of privacy. The home is on Hwy 1 but we really didn’t hear the road noise. It wasn’t bad at all. Found a couple great beaches to walk and watch the waves and the birds. House is close to town to grab a nice dinner."

"Marissa was super fast with any questions we had and even told us to contact her the day before to see if an earlier arrival was possible. We loved the large sheltered deck facing southwest for the sun and view.The hot tub was super clean and the rolling umbrella made it easy to adjust to the sun's position during the day.The new 3 piece sliding glass doors to the deck from the living room was perfect as it made the deck feel like it was part of the living room.We had a very enjoyable stay.John"
