Check out the pictures - they are accurate. It is still friendly, comfortable, quiet, immaculate and a perfect night. Took an 1 1/2 hour bath with water up to my neck, a nap in the rocker/recliner, watched the sunset and fell asleep in the comfortable bed to the sound of waves rushing up the sandbar. You really cannot find a... More

I was traveling up the coast to Washington and arrived at Sea Ranch Restaurant for a quick dinner and asked for their recommendation for a good place to stay going north. The young woman at the front desk gave me three recommendations--this being her favorite. I called immediately and booked the last room they had available. It was better than... More

These little cabin-style cottages provide a fantastic ocean view experience. In the cool of the evening, the gas fireplace heater adds a highly romantic atmosphere. Step out on the private balcony (we were on the 1st floor) and watch the waves lapping at the shoreline, or take a stroll on the beautiful beach. Check-in experience with no reservations was excellent.... More

I wanted a place not to far from home - where my husband and I (who were celebrating 30 years of togetherness) could enjoy the ocean right up close but not spend an entire fortune for the two nights - and we found it. This place was awesome. Clean, nice people at the front desk, even the cleaning people were... More

My wife and I have stayed here twice, the last time was in October for our honeymoon. This is our favorite getaway place! The staff is very accommodating and professional. Their advise as to where to eat and things to do locally is right on the mark. The rooms were second to none! Great views from the in room jacuzzi... More

Great time of the year to visit - few people, clear skies. The hotel was fabulous! Quick, easy check-in, great upstairs room with a view over the river to the white-water shore. Clean and orderly room with a view to the horizon: whales and sunsets galore. Never slept better; window cracked, so we could hear the surf pound in the... More

We went to Gualala and stayed at Seacliff on the Bluff not expecting much except a simple room with simple furnishings based on reading several reviews and seeing pictures. The forecast was rain, rain, and more rain for us so we came prepared to stay in the room for most of the time and cozy up next to the fireplace.... More

We have come back many many times over the years and have never been disappointed. The rooms are simple but comfortable. The view is unsurpassed. We have seen whales from the easy chair almost every visit.

My husband and I had never been to the northern California coast along route 1, and it was a wonderful experience. The drive was beautiful, and at the end of the day, we found a perfect night's respite at Seacliff on the Bluff. The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had an awesome view of the ocean. There were restaurants... More
