Best Gualala Hotels

Spacious oceanfront property with view of the Gualala River meeting the sea, this home has been delighting people for decades. It s toward the end of a culdesac hidden from the street, secluded yet only 3 to 5 mins walking distance to Downtown Gualala that has Surf Market (organic options), Gualala Supermarket, Trinks Cafe, etc. The location is private and extremely convenient. Well behaved dogs are welcome ($40 per night 2 dogs max). Cedar Chlorine and Bromine Free Hot and Cold Tubs with an outdoor shower.*NOTE:The maximum number of guests allowed at all times on the property is 15. 15 guests include the number of children as some groups might find 15 adults way too cramped. That is really subjective to the comfort level of each group. We try to as transparent as possible to the layout of the house with lots of pictures to give a sense of the capacity of the property, but can not predict how comfortable each group would be with their quantity of guests.The property is over half an acre and completely fenced - offering plenty of space for kids and dogs to play! The fence is 5 to 6 feet tall and should work for most dogs except for determined escape artists. A wrap around deck offers views of the Gualala River, Pacific Ocean, and California coast. Cedar wood hot and cold tubs for hydrotherapy on the deck - on a clear night the stars and Milky Way are on full display. Start with the hot and then the cold - alternate back and forth to feel like a million bucks. The deck has two picnic tables and a gas grill. A tree platform in the backyard provides unobstructed views of the river and the ocean - a great spot to read and nap in the hammocks. There are three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs. The downstairs master bedroom has a heated drying rack with a heated Toto Electronic Bidet. The other downstairs bathroom has a classic claw foot soaking tub with a heated Smart Bidet. The kitchen, dining room, and living room are downstairs. The upstairs has two bedrooms.
