Behold the magnificent ocean and meadow views of the Sea Ranch when you escape to this beautiful two-bedroom home, a spacious and dog-friendly retreat that offers an ocean-facing deck, a private tree-lined patio and hot tub, and wonderful access to nearby beaches and trails.

Conveniently located five miles south of Gualala's restaurants, art galleries, and grocery stores, this two-level home is scenically situated on the ocean side of California Highway 1. You'll be just steps from the Bluff Trail that runs between Black Point and Gualala Point Regional Park, less than one mile from the tide pools of Shell Beach, and less than two miles from Walk On Beach.

Thanks to both an open living area and private sleeping quarters, this home is ideal for couples' vacations and family getaways to one of the most stunning stretches of the Northern California Coast.

The interior living area was thoughtfully placed on the second floor, allowing guests to enjoy sweeping views at every turn. Read an engrossing novel from the comfort of the leather sofa as you watch for whale spouts on the water.

With granite countertops, a stainless steel refrigerator, and a dishwasher for your convenience, the full kitchen provides ample space to prepare meals. You'll find plenty of seating around the dining room table, as well as a flatscreen cable TV and DVD player in the living room for after-dinner movie nights.

But why eat indoors when you have a spectacular outdoor deck that overlooks the ocean and meadow? Prepare fresh local seafood on the gas grill, enjoy evening meals around the patio table, and watch the spectacular sunset as you share a bottle of local Pinot Noir.

The tree-lined patio offers guests a wonderful sense of privacy, and is the perfect place to soak in the hot tub or let your dogs stretch their legs. Please be advised, however, that there is a two-dog maximum and a small additional pet fee applies.

With two private bedroom suites located on the ground floor, Audubon can comfortably accommodate as many as four guests. Each of the two sunlit bedrooms has a king-size bed, lofty ceilings, and an en suite full bathroom. There is one additional half-bath for guests to use as well.

And as you spend your days jogging along the Bluff Trail or strolling the length of Walk On Beach, you'll always have a private washer and dryer to come home to, as well as WiFi for your added convenience. Swimming pools and tennis courts are also available at the Sea Ranch Del Mar, Ohlson, and Moonraker Recreation Centers.

Whether you're hoping to explore the great Northern California outdoors or planning a weekend of quiet relaxation, Sea Ranch manages to offer it all. You can watch passing grey whales, harbor seals, and California sea lions from the nearby Bluff Trail, or head less than four miles north to play 18 holes at the Sea Ranch Golf Links.

Guests can also explore this majestic region by car, as the 54-mile stretch of Highway 1 north to Mendocino is one of the loveliest drives in the state.
