Peaceful and comfortable stay

Wild Meadow is very comfortable with all the amenities you would need in a small space (mini fridge, microwave, and electric kettle). The view was gorgeous. Everything was very clean and neat. We had a wonderful stay!

Beautiful modern stay at Sea Ranch

Loved this small, perfect lodging. Beautifully decorated in harmony with the tone of Sea Ranch. Down duvet on bed, good walking trails, very quiet, private space, close enough to town,about 5 miles.Ocean views of the whitecaps.

Really Nice Cabin in Great Kocation

Classy Sea Ranch architecture, not a big space, but well thought out in the layout of the main room.Bathroom looks fairly modern.Interesting plywood paneling interior walls.The best part was the large west facing windows, through which you could watch the sun setting over the Pacific.

A four star stay!!!

We were close to so many spectacular views and opportunities, and we took advantage of as many as we could in our time constraints. The coastal views, the architecture, The food and staff at the lodge, The hikes, ALL well above our expectations. We also met the owner by chance and she was a sweetheart.

Room with a view

The view of the ocean was lovely. We couldn’t see the beach but the whitecaps were visible and the breeze was just right. Perfect location to view the night sky over the ocean.

Great Getaway!

A perfect place to getaway from the hectic nature of life. Well appointed, has what you really need in a studio - comfortable bed, reading spot, tea spot -- and an amazing and stunning view. Close to tons of trails and ocean. I could not could have asked for a more perfect place to stay.

A wonderful regenerative weekend

We absolutely loved our stay at Wild Meadow. The home is in a tranquil setting just a short walk from oceanfront trails. The bed was super comfy and sleeping was peaceful with the faint sound of the waves as our only companion. The town of Gualala is a short distance north where we highly recommend Trink’s Cafe and Surf Market. We can’t wait to visit again soon.

Searanch studio

Overall terrific. Chatted with owner and she was very friendly. Only drawbacks were no real food prep area (though I’m sure that was stated on listing ) and a small deck to look out to the ocean Would have been nice. There were a couple of chairs. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely retreat at Sea Ranch

This ocean view guesthouse is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a retreat. I enjoyed taking walks and hikes, reading inside on the comfy window seat or outside on the Adirondack chairs, and experiencing the beauty of Sea Ranch. It is nicely decorated and has what you need for a simple few day getaway. There is no kitchen, just a small fridge and microwave, so best to remember this when planning! I very much enjoyed my time, loving the quiet, restful few days and will be back!

Would Come Back

We need to come back when there is better weather. That has nothing to do with the property. It was perfect overlooking the water. There was plenty of coffee for the mornings and ample space. The area was clean and everything was very simple. 10/10 really enjoyed this weekend getaway

Great spot with easy access and beautiful views!

Loved this location. Perfect size of accommodation for 2 people. Nestled in the perfect spot for views, hiking, access to sea ranch lodge and Gualala. Everything was well appointed. One thing I would change is we couldn’t access the large outside trashcan for food trash. It wasn’t in the noted location. We had to keep stinky trash in the room.

We loved the studio. It was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Comfortable bed and bedding. Storage. A gorgeous view of natural greenery and the ocean, with two Adirondack chairs for enjoying coffee or wine It was a short walk to coastline trails. The owner was very nice and helpful when we met her. We'd like to return for a visit soon.

sea ranch siesta

Went to Sea Ranch looking for Rancho Relaxo. Got exactly that. Spacious one bedroom with bath. Well appointed. Hot shower. Mini frig. Nice lodge with good food. Great in room coffee. Heater. Stellar views. Except for that time in the morning a herd of deer came by. But once they moved, the ocean view came back into vision. Great place at a great value. Would definitely recommend. Well, technically I have sent flex pics to family and friends so I have already done that. Now I have to deal with my wife who now needs to buy a place here. So, there’s that. Book and bask in the glory of the Oceanside oasis.

Property manager didn’t respond to emergency call

The property was lovely, and the owner also lovely. The problem was with property manager. The lock didn’t work with the keys provided and they didn’t respond to the emergency call. We were left standing in the dark with no where to stay. That’s how I met the owner who came out to help us.She couldn’t get the door open either but finally realized she had the master. 45.minutes in the dark struggling. Really really not okay. In the meantime I was on the phone with the night telephone team who were great and did their job well. They put an emergency call to the local people who never responded until the next afternoon. They replaced the lock so clearly there was a serious problem. We asked for one night’s reimbursement—they gave us $50. Really unprofessional and inadequate. I am really dissatisfied and disappointed and angry

Wonderful Personal Retreat

I spent a wonderful 5 nights away from my noisy apartment in the city. I walked on the beach, enjoyed the architecture, visited the Chapel, went swimming at the recreation center, hung out with coffee, a drink, or food at the excellent Sea Ranch Lodge which is the social hub of the community. The unit is sweet and beautiful as is obvious from the pics. The bed is comfy, and the view amazing. There is a good heater for chilly nights. There is a microwave, mini fridge, plates bowls mugs, glasses, and silverware, and keurig coffee maker with a range of flavored coffees. But I wish I had brought my own coffee maker or there had been a French press available. The mini fridge and plates etc are in the closet which doesn't leave much room for hanging clothes. That's a bit of an issue but certainly did not spoil my stay. Those are a few things I wish I had known in advance. I had assumed there would be a small kitchen, but it didnt. I should have read the listing more carefully but I think that could be made clearer. Not a dealbreaker for me since I didn't want to cook. When I reached the property, the door was open and I was never given a key. I never locked the door while I was there. Not sure how I was meant to get it. I never saw the person in the main house. Maybe I missed something. When you pick up your renter packet you get a form which allows you to use the recreation centers. I swam at the Ohlson which has a beautiful pool and saunas. A few quirks but a 5* stay.
