Amazing views

If you want to be on the ocean, this is your place. It's cozy, comfy and stunning views. If you are looking for luxury this isn't it. But if you are looking for top notch hosts, incredible location and views you must book this place. We were so comfortable and relaxed which is exactly what we wanted. A getaway l!

Experience of a Lifetime

Simply put, Cabin 5 on the Bluff is the coolest place I've ever stayed. You can see the ocean from the living room, both bedrooms, the bathroom and the sauna. You can actually even see ocean waves while laying in bed!This was the third time I've stayed here and I will most definitely be back!

Seaside Cozy Charm

This was our chance to take a break, and this place did not disappoint. We found it comfortable and were just mesmerized with the views of the Pacific. The house had all the essentials we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the deck very spacious. We will definitely return.

Lovely stay with beautiful views!

We had an excellent stay at Cabin 5. The place was cozy and clean, and the views were amazing. We had a perfect view of the sunset. There is a nice deck and yard- it's not fenced but it was really easy to just keep our dog on a long line while we hung out outside. Very peaceful and tranquil getaway. Spoke with the host on the phone and he was super sweet and helpful. Would definitely want to come back again!

A really special place!

Really lovely home on the most beautiful bluff, just north of Sea Ranch in Gualala. Amazing views from almost every room, including the sauna! Richard and Shelley were very sweet and helpful during the booking process. Super dog friendly as well, and there was even firewood and fire starters!

Cozy cabin with a beautiful view.

It's a cozy cabin on the edge of the bluffs. The views were amazing and the sound of waves crashing on the rocks is calming. A great place to unplug and unwind.

Beautiful views

The place could not have a better location - deck goes to the very edge of bluff. Extraordinary views, wonderful morning tea and coffee on the deck with equally magical sunsets from the chairs in the back yard. Perfect for our dog as the edges of the grounds are fenced and protected.

Beyond Wonderful - with Extraordinary Views

My goodness, I can’t begin to say what a lovely place this is. It was quite a drive to get to (for me) but so worth it. The ocean view was absolutely extraordinary - as was the friendly care of the owners, Shelley & Richard. The cabin was charming - and the main bedroom (with a wildly comfortable bed that had the open ocean view) and opened up to the deck, was a fantasy of a spot - especially as I was healing from a recent surgery. It just doesn’t get better than that. This was one of my favorite stays of all time - and I am delighted & grateful to have found it.

Perfect

The view off the deck is what got our attention and led us to book Cabin 5 On the Bluff. It did not disappoint! This is the perfect place to stay with our 2 doggies. Richard and Shelley are wonderful hosts and provided us with all we needed. There are great dog beaches close by and fully stocked grocery stores in town. The beds are beyond comfortable! Combined with the sounds of the ocean and smell of the sea breeze, the nights were incredibly soothing. We will definitely be coming back!
