Sea Ranch 2BR Binker Barn with hot tub, yard & fire pit — dogs welcome

Summary:

Books line the shelves and ocean views frame the windows of this modified Binker Barn — a character-rich Sea Ranch home with an epic yard, a swing set, a gas fireplace, and a private hot tub. Two bedrooms sleep 8; dogs welcome (up to 2). Black Point headland trails are a six-minute walk away.



The Space:

This modified Binker Barn trades Sea Ranch minimalism for personality — books on built-ins, a gas fireplace for coastal evenings, an epic yard with a swing set, and a hot tub and fire pit for stargazing after Black Point walks. Two bedrooms sleep 8, and up to two dogs are welcome.



Step inside to discover a cozy living space complete with a gas fireplace, perfect for those cool coastal evenings. For those who love to cook, the well-equipped kitchen boasts modern appliances, including a fridge, stove, and dishwasher, making meal prep a breeze.



Outside, the deck and patio furniture provide an ideal spot for al fresco dining or simply soaking in the striking ocean views. After a day of exploring the nearby beaches or hiking trails, relax in the hot tub or gather around the firepit for a memorable evening under the stars.



This dog-friendly home is not just a getaway; it's an adventure waiting to unfold. With easy access to local attractions like wineries, beaches, and outdoor activities, your Sea Ranch escape promises to be filled with unforgettable experiences. Guests may experience some noise during regular work hours.



BLACK POINT AND THE YARD

Black Point headland trails are a six-minute walk; Pebble Beach access sits 12 minutes out on foot and The Sea Ranch Lodge 14 minutes away. The yard swing, fire pit, and hot tub turn the home into a base camp for families who want both trail time and hang-out time.



SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Two bedrooms sleep 8 — the Binker Barn layout handles overflow better than the bed count suggests.

This home welcomes up to 2 dogs -- the yard and nearby trails are ready for your pup. Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival. As a guest, you also have access to Sea Ranch community amenities including the pools, tennis courts, fitness center, and miles of trails. A recreation pass will be provided.



The Neighborhood:

Stretching along ten miles of the Sonoma Coast, The Sea Ranch offers a rare blend of coastal wilderness and thoughtfully designed homes. Nearby highlights include Black Point headland trails (6-minute walk), Pebble Beach access trail (12-minute walk), The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant, lounge and café (14-minute walk). Trails lead from your door to the bluffs, beaches, and through the forest. Heated pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, and The Sea Ranch Lodge round out the amenities. Gualala is a quick 10-minute drive north for groceries, dining, and fuel. For a scenic outing, Jenner and Bodega Bay are further down Highway 1.



Getting Around:

Sea Ranch is about 2.5 hours north of San Francisco -- take Highway 101 to Highway 1 for one of California's most scenic coastal drives. The nearest airport is Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, roughly 90 minutes east. A car is the way to go for exploring the area.



Other Things to Note:

Heads up -- there is an active construction project on the neighboring lot. Work typically takes place on weekdays from 7 AM to 7 PM, and occasionally on weekends. While it may result in some noise during those hours, evenings and most weekends remain peaceful and quiet.



Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.



Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.



Keep your eyes on the horizon from December to April -- gray whales migrate just offshore, and this property has a front-row seat. Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons.



Up to 2 dogs are welcome. Please keep dogs on leash on trails and clean up after them.



Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.
