Beachfront holiday rentals in Sonoma County

The views from the decks and rooms are amazing - even better than the photos. This location is wonderful too and very quiet. I took a walk each morning up the hill and into the Jenner Headlands Preserve - highly recommended. We were lucky to have great weather and thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the lower deck on the outdoor sofas under an umbrella for shade. We didn't use the hot tub, but it is a nice touch to have one. The beds were very comfortable, and the downstairs bed has a nice view out the window. The house is older, so the bathrooms are small. We used the washer and drier once and they worked well. The kitchen was well stocked and there are games and puzzles available as well. Toni was a fantastic host - very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this place and hope to return one day.

We did enjoy our visit. Parking is terrible but that was already warned. We liked the futon for an extra bed. The amenities need to be updated. The barbecue was so old we weren’t sure if we should even try to use it. There wasn’t any oil to cook with. Seems like to stocking of the place could be more thought out. Views are great. We had a pretty windy visit so not a lot of time spent outside.

Wow, what a great stay. We were in town for a wedding that was within walking distance from the house. The house was as described in the listing, and Jennifer was great with responding to my questions before we checked in. The back patio was well worth the stay, and the hot tub was a great spot to wind down after the wedding. We will book here again.

Watching multiple species of raptor patrol the banks of the Russian River was awe-inspiring

Our family spends a week at dillons beach every yeah and so far this is the best house we have rented! The location can’t be beat , the views from the house are the best you can get, our kids enjoyed all the arcade games and we enjoyed the hot tub and sauna, everything was clean and house was stocked with plenty on kitchen utensils, pots and pan, everything was labeled with clear instructions and host was very easy to reach by phone for and questions! Can’t wait to come back!

We had a lovely stay in the Russian River. We particularly loved the location next to the river, the large deck, the hot tub, and the idyllic setting in the forest.

What a gem! The perfect location on Tomales Bay, with my favorite stretch of it right outside the door. Discover Point Reyes. Antik Al seashore anew! And a very cozy and comfy place, with great beds and everything you need. Our family of four including two small kids had a blast, and we will be back!

The beautiful pictures and glowing reviews for this listing were a primary reason why we chose to book, and the reality absolutely met our expectations. My boyfriend and I just spent almost a week here to rejuvenate and unplug, and it was the perfect place to do so. We felt an immediate shift in energy upon arriving at this very serene and magical property. It was just as lovely as previous commenters have stated. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Marykate, but her son conducted our check-in and was so friendly and kind and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We had total privacy but still felt our needs were being taken care of. Everything was also so thoughtfully considered and supplied. Absolutely LOVED the beautiful and adorable free-range chickens. It was so peaceful and therapeutic to see them roaming around. Such a special place. It was a sad day when we had to leave, and I hope we will be back soon.

We travel and rent homes for a week at a time once or twice a year as a family. This was one that everyone felt was special. One of a kind. We hope to return - not just to Sea Ranch - but specifically to this lovely home.

If you appreciate location, this beautiful home on the north end of the Sea Ranch is for you. While the house might be a little bit older, there was plenty of room and the views can’t be beat.

We really enjoyed our short stay at this home. The ocean views are as-advertised and the house was clean and comfortable. It's a short walk to the bluffs trail where the views are fantastic. There are immediate neighbors on both sides of the home but when you are inside or sitting out on the back deck, it seems very private. We did have an issue with the hot tub not heating up, but VACASA responded immediately to my text message and offered to have someone come check it out that day. We found it to be a nice quiet place where we could easily relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the California coast.

Casa Balena was a joy! Beautiful location (you can’t go wrong with Sea Ranch), good amenities (both at the house and the community), and so peaceful. The house was well stocked with everything you might need, including dishes/cookware in the kitchen. My family (a group of six, including a young child, two teenagers, two parents, and a grandparent) was very comfortable; lots of room, plenty of games on hand, etc. A great stay!

This is our fourth visit to Sea Ranch and this was (by far) our favorite AirBnB experience. The location is unmatched—in the mornings, you can sit in a quiet corner, enjoying coffee, watching deer graze against an expansive view of the Pacific. The house itself has everything you need—an extremely large kitchen, comfortable bed, and cozy seating throughout. The home’s proximity to Gualala is also very helpful, and you’ll have easy access to shops, groceries, and a short drive to places like the Sea Ranch Lodge or Point Arena. 10 out of 10, truly!

Rosea Ranch is a gem, it's a perfect warm and snug Sea Ranch time capsule. The location can't be beat — it's nothing but you, the ocean, and the family of deer that live at the end of the meadow. The listing is perfectly accurate, and had everything we needed. Their loft library was well stocked with games and books for our 3-year-old, and the kitchen wasn't missing a single thing. I wish we were still there and not writing this review back at home!

Beautiful and super clean house in the magical woods. We loved the window seats everywhere and watching the deer visit every day. The beds are very comfy and towels plush. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub under the stars. Some aspects of the house are a little more rustic than modern, but still very comfortable and cozy. The owner is super responsive and thoughtful and obviously cares a lot about her home.

Craig and Willa’s place was a wonderful spot to experience Sea Ranch for the first time. The living space was beautiful and comfortable. We loved that the home felt true to the essence of Sea Ranch and retains a lot of special architectural details. The kitchen is well set up for cooking. Walk-on beach is only a short walk away, as is the incredible bluff walk. We highly recommend a stay at Craig and Willa’s Sea Ranch home!

We truly enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed the area. Would recommend!

Absolutely stunning location, the house was beautiful and clean and so cozy. The walk to the beach was easy and beautiful, we will definitely be coming back!

Incredible. The house and location is like being in a dream, like a stay in another world - With the house on the water, the soft waves lapping under the house, the cormorants diving for fish, the ribbons of fog that pass through the bay in front of you.... Hog Island Oyster is right down the road on top of it all. Everything was perfect and I appreciate that such an amazing place is shared by the owners. We will be back!

This place is so beautiful. The ocean view from many spots around the house was a plus. The quick walk to the beach was also a plus and the beach was not crowded everytime we went. I definitely recommend staying here!

Location. Location. Location. The house was in the perfect spot with the best view from the living room and the patio. Just gorgeous. The house was beautifully constructed with great amenities and everything we needed for a lovely weekend. Heated floors were a nice surprise and def a plus! Loved everything about our stay, will be back soon.

THIS WAS OUR 4TH STAY WITH TOM AND LIKE ALL THE PREVIOUS STAYS IT WENT GREAT.. THE PROPERTY IS PERFECT FOR OUR NERDS AND LOCATION IS IDEAL.WE LOOK FOR FORWARD TO OUR NEXT VISIT

We had a wonderful time. The hot tub was great, the creek was better. Had a great pizza at Raymond's bakery in Cazadero. One of Lendris recommendations. Also spent a day at Goatrock Beach with our dogs. The kids and dogs loved the creek. The creek is so close we could let the kids go without us. We could hear them from the cabin. The next door neighbor is a local and gave us a great history of the area. Overall we had a ball. Looking forward to next year! Thank you

This was the third time we stayed here and we've already booked again for next year. It's "bountiful" in every way as one in our group described it. The view is spectacular. The kitchen is well stocked with anything one might need to prepare any meal. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. Plenty of comfortable living room furniture for our group of six to relax and catch up with each other. We love everything about this house!
