About this property
Ocean meadow home, great views, hot tub, EV charger, shared pools
Unit 21, Lot 61. Prepare to relax at Cormorant Cove, a spacious, light-filled house situated near the oceanside Bluff Trail. The house features a great room with cathedral ceilings, with beautiful ocean and meadow views. From the house, enjoy watching for a variety of animals in their natural environment, including deer, rabbits, foxes, raptors, quail and turkeys.
A 2023 partial remodel of the house allows ample space for meal preparation in the handsome new kitchen. Dine at the table for 8 under soft lighting, while enjoying the views. Sit comfortably in the renovated living room and converse, play a game, or watch your favorite television program. Outside on the updated main deck, relax in the hot tub taking in the sights and sounds of nature. Enjoy stargazing in dark skies.
Rest well in comfortable beds, hearing the sounds of the ocean and breathing fresh air. When you wake up, you will see the changing colors of the sea and meadow from your bedroom. The king and two queen bedrooms have their own private deck.
Cormorant Cove is located midway along The Sea Ranch coast, which means that you can range five miles in either direction without leaving the community's quiet roads and trails. A few minutes' walk from the house are cliffs above a dramatic cove where cormorants nest on the rock walls. From there, Shell Beach, the seal rookery and children's playground are a 15-minute walk along the bluff.
You'll have access to three recreation centers that offer swimming pools and saunas, plus outdoor tennis, pickleball, basketball, and volleyball courts. In addition, Sea Ranch Golf, a links style course is located nearby.
Should you need it, a Level 2 (240 volt) electric vehicle (EV) charger is available for a fee. It is a Tesla charger and works with other EVs if you bring an adapter.
If you want to work remotely, you'll find a permanent desk in one bedroom and a folding desk in the closet of the downstairs queen bedroom.
Children of all ages are welcome at Cormorant Cove. A travel crib and highchair are available upon request.

Reviewer Comments:
Close to the seal colonies! Learned to play backgammon, game board thoughtfully provided. Could use a salad spinner but absolutely all other kitchen boxes ticked. Had a lovely stay.
Had a great 3-night weekend at Cormorant Cove. House was well equipped with all the kitchen stuff we needed. Hot Tub was easy to use and very nice. Close to trailhead, and easy 20-min walk to Shell Beach. Great house to accommodate 4 couples. Had a nice dinner out at Vue Kitchen in Gualala. Would of been nice if more paper towels and toilet paper were supplied. And kinda a pain to "pickup" and "dropoff" the physical keys from/to rental company. Overall, we loved our stay at Sea Ranch.

This home is always very welcoming and the new kitchen takes it to a new level. Suggestions made from a prior visit had been made, allowing use of the table throughout the afternoon. Yeah for blinds! The view to the water entertained us each evening as we spotted whales and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets. Great house!

1. Family outing - 6 adults, 2 g'kids, so the layout suits us perfectly. 2. Love the location for the ease to everything and esp the bluff trail and beaches. 3.. We rented this house in 2022, so the improvements are really great and appreciated - new kitchen (well stocked with appliances, cookware, dishes), enlarged main deck, new hot tub. 4. Like new layout in LR. (tho some may miss the fireplace in the cold weather...). 5. Enjoyed the puzzles, even added a few new ones. 6. We had the master br, boy it would be nice to have an optional shade to close on the big high window - very bright in the morning! Overall an A house.

Spacious yet cozy home with spectacular views. It was the perfect house for a stormy week in March. We’re looking forward to returning when we can make use of all the decks.
Beautiful house and very tastefully decorated. Wonderful views, comfortable, and the information pertaining to the house was simple and thorough.

Awesome! This house was GREAT! Having rented another house in Sea Ranch for 15+ years, we were cautious about finding a house that fit our needs as well. No worries!! This house was perfect for 8 adults who golf, play dominoes and enjoy watching the sun set into the ocean and great hikes. Each room was very comfortable, the main space allowed for comfort with lots of areas to spread out and interact if wanted. The large table with chairs was much appreciated. Sound system was a bonus. Only bummer - no shades on windows facing water and the sun was super strong, almost running us out of that space each afternoon. But not an issue that prevented us from renting again next year! Lovely home - perfect!

We've rented the house several times in the past and enjoy the location and the set up. Ants and spiders seem to be the "norm for Sea Ranch"? A lot of wasted water to heat up the Master Shower.
