Private Courtyard with Hot Tub... Ocean View...2 min. walk to bluff

TOT ID# 1915.
Welcome to Castlehaven, our beautiful light-filled haven designed by noted local architect Bob Hartstock. Just a two minute walk from the Scenic Bluff Top Trail and Salal Cove, our house is located in the desirable north end of Sea Ranch. We are only a mile from the charming town of Gualala.

This lovingly and beautifully decorated home includes original artwork by a local artist, a private office, 2 master suite bedrooms, plus a private guest bedroom and 2 1/2 baths. The open living room borders on a dining area that seats 4, a music nook with a baby grand piano, and a fully-equipped kitchen with bar implements and glassware.

Outside in our spacious and private courtyard, you will enjoy outdoor dining, access to a BBQ, and a wonderful, soothing hot tub with a view of the night skies. Wildlife is abundant here. Wake to the sounds of the Ocean, and enjoy seeing birds, deer and fox right outside your window, and from the front patio.

The first master suite has French doors leading to a lovely private garden, and a large, heart-shaped Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. The second master has a gorgeous view of the golf course and the ocean beyond. The third bedroom is a very private haven separate from the main house, across the courtyard from the hot tub. All bedrooms have queen size beds with memory foam mattresses. A washer and dryer are available, including soaps, and fabric softeners.

For our guest's enjoyment, we have a huge selection of books, movies on DVD, CDs, "streaming" TV, DirecTV and board games to while away your time when you are relaxing after being immersed in nature and all the activities of Sea Ranch. Please be aware that the fireplaces are non-functional because of problems with smoke and soot. Besides the Bluff Top Trail, there are three recreation centers with heated swimming pools, saunas, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts, 50+ miles of hiking trails, mountain biking trails, beautiful coastal views and hidden waterfalls. All this awaits you here at Castlehaven.

Relaxing
We really enjoyed our stay at Castlehaven. The home is spacious, airy and comfortable. Nice to have a hot tub outside and a jetted tub inside. The Bluff Trail is close by so we did a lot of hiking. Played tennis at the Ohlson Rec Center. Can’t beat tennis with a view of the ocean! The golf course was very nice and uncrowded. The weather was absolutely beautiful! Highly recommend Twofish Baking Co. The only negative was ants visiting the kitchen.

Restorative Vacation - Great Location
We had a lovely vacation at this beautiful, spacious home. The location was fantastic - close to bluff trail, short drive to Del Mar pool, beach, nice kayaking spot, and Gualala for market trips and restaurants. The house itself was very comfortable with nice beds and pillows, great for cooking and dining in, relaxing inside while playing board games, watching wildlife from the window, and the hot tub was wonderful. Having a piano was a huge plus for the piano players in our family. Perfect vacation!

52nd Anniversary
Great location and loved being so close to town. The hot tub was super clean and so relaxing. While the fireplaces are not usable, the home has a GREAT heating system that made the home so comfortable even when cold and/or rainy outside. Loved having one of the master suites on the ground floor so there were no stairs to climb. Only stairs necessary were two from the ground floor to the living/dining area. Only disappointment was that the greatest window to use to watch the ocean waves seems to have a leak between the panels causing condensation and takes the beautiful view away. The host was wonderful to work with, even staying on the phone until he was sure we had access to the key to get into the house. Castlehaven will defintely be put on our list of homes to visit again.

Great Location, Comfortable Beds
The location of this property makes it easy to access the bluff walking trail which is beautiful. The three bedrooms have very comfortable beds. The third bedroom is a detached studio space, not in the house itself. Kitchen is well appointed so we were able to cook all our meals easily. Hot tub is situated in the private patio which made it more comfortable and protected from the gusty winds.

Family getaway
Not our first time staying at Sea Ranch( not this property). Property was listed as available for 4nights on vrbo but after talking to John we had to chage our reservation for 3 nights coz new renters were coming and they had to prep property for the new family coming in. Third bedroom does not have separate bathroom and we had to leave front door open for person sleeping in the third bedroom to use bathroom at night. For some reason the power was out every morning and when it was restored took every single of our devices to reset with a password which is very long. I would suggest to create more easy password. View was ok but given people walking in front of back yard playing golf is something that you should be aware of. Barbecue grill did not have a gas so it took a trip to gualala to refill the propane tank(left it almost full for next guests) John was easy to comunicate. Overall a good area but north california coast is always beautiful. Gualala market in a close proximity is a plus.

A Very Nice Home but not a repeat for us
This is a very nice home in a good location and I feel almost anyone renting here would be mostly happy with their stay. I would note however that if you are into cooking and looking to do some nice meals while staying at Sea Ranch then this is probably not the home for you. The kitchen appliances are not of the highest quality and the utensils, cookware and so on are not going to make you happy. That's more or less in keeping with most of the home overall...it is a rental and it feels like every item that wasn't used any longer somewhere else wound up here. Access to the walking trail was fine but not great and the view was pretty darn good but we couldn't get a clear look at it most of the time because the two large view windows had broken seals...and so they fogged up internally thus clouding our view. Nothing real negative to be upset about, just not the quality we are looking for...or what the house could be for that matter.

We enjoyed so much about this wonderful house...the layout, the ambience the location so close to the bluff and the many comfortable touches. Adding four sunny days was the icing on the cake. Sea Ranch is a wonderful place for family visits and this lovely place on Salal Cove was just the right spot for that.
