When you arrive at Hedgegate, you'll immediately feel right at home in this beautifully decorated ocean view home. For one thing, the furniture is stylish and comfortable. Throughout the house you'll find enjoyable art from around the world and original local art; the kitchen is fully stocked with just about everything you might imagine for meal preparation right down to the olive oil, and service for eight. An extensive video & music library ,board games are more than adequate for everyone, unless of course you would rather just sit on the deck and enjoy the great outdoors which is located right outside in all directions. With an ocean view from the hot tub that's always ready you'll enjoy the scenery and view no matter what weather's on the horizon.

How do I summarize "perfect"? This place is divine, from the big things (view, hot tub) to the little (binoculars to take out on hikes, sharp knives for cooking, puzzles for doing). We loved staying here!
Gorgeous, very well stocked home with great owner...
Hawley could not have been a better host...her home is beautiful, clean, extremely comfortable, and well located...she is a great communicator who even sent us daily notifications of the road closures due to the storm...her home is extremely well stocked making shopping needs minimal...saw deer and wild turkeys in the neighborhood...very sweet...all of us are hoping to return!!...thanks Hawley!
This is our second time staying at this property. The last time it was just my husband and myself and this trip we brought an 11 year-old great-nephew. The house is attractively furnished, well-cared for, and in a good location. The kitchen is well supplied even for someone who cooks a lot. The hot tub was clean and heated up easily. The only thing we noticed was that the outdoor grill had not been adequately cleaned from prior use, causing some flaring while grilling some burgers. This was a minor issue. The owner is responsible, keeps tabs on the place (this is a good thing) and is quick to respond if there is a question or issue. Maps at the property are helpful. We'll be back.
Truly enjoyed our stay here. The trails down to the bluff were so close and we did many hikes. We popped into Gaulala a few times and even golfed a day.
A rental that feels like home, with ready access to magnificent trails of Sea Ranch. Comfortable furnishings and clear instructions from owner make this a wonderful base in a superb destination.
This cozy house had everything we needed for a four-day stay at Sea Ranch—2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a hot tub, a well-appointed kitchen, fast wi-fi, lovely views, and extensive decks—all at an affordable rate. It is now our go-to house for 2 couples.
Hawley’s property was exactly as the listing described! It was very clean and warm and cozy which we appreciated since the weather was cool and windy when we arrived. As indicated, the kitchen was well stocked with both food staples and cooking equipment which made preparing meals there easy. We also appreciated the location - the house is landscaped so as to feel quite secluded and is located in the middle of the Sea Ranch property making access to Hwy 1, the Lodge and our favorite beaches and trails especially convenient. (For those interested in golfing, the course is officially closed but we saw folks golfing there on several occasions.) The washer/dryer and Weber grill were added conveniences. Would love to return with another couple. Both bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms are very spacious and each has its own TV as well. The nearby town of Gualala has 2 grocery stores for anything you might require. All in all, a beautiful place to escape!
we had four wonderful days at Sea Ranch beginning Wednesday night. we had a big group-- split it between two houses that were walking distance. Most of us had been at Sea Ranch several times before-- it did not disappoint. But my younger sister and her family had never been there-- and they had lost their husband/Dad a couple of years ago. I will simply quote her "Best Thanskgiving ever" Hawley's house was a big part of that-- comfortable, great view, nice location, deer, wild turkey, the entire Sea Ranch experience. We cant wait to come again.
Great location to access the coastal trails and surrounding areas. The weather was perfect for our daily hikes and observation of wildlife creatures. The house had all the comforts of home and was very private.
My wife and I have been renting vacation houses for 15 yrs all over the Midwest and CA coast. This was one of the best locations we have ever visited. I used to go to Sea Ranch back in the 70s as a kid with my folks and after 45 yrs coming back I see it hasn't changed much. It really is a hidden gem. and Hawley's house is just right on every level. It is clear she and her team are seasoned rental pros. This place doesnt feel like the polished sterile luxury in a 5 star resort, but felt like we were visiting a long time dear friends house, but we were alone. It has it's querks and the decor is eclectic, but interesting, Many places we visit say they are stocked with essentials, but this place truly is. Even though it rained most of the time we were there, we didn't care. The only hiccup was the power going out for 12 hours (for the whole development) but Hawley was super responsive to our slightly panicked texts, and her relaxed demeanor helped calm us back down,. 10 out of 10... would highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Hawley Holmes
If I didn't enjoy my work as an art curator, I'd choose to live at this wonderful home we call Hedgegate House. Instead, I have chosen to share it with others who may enjoy it as much as I do.
Why they chose this property
The Sea Ranch on the Sonoma Coast is far enough away to get away and close enough to our daily life to make it possible more often than not. About 115 miles from San Francisco but a world away.......
What makes this property unique
Very Private Location at end of a cul-de-sac Four Miles to town and four miles to Sea Ranch Lodge. Walk to Shell Beach....... Basically, the perfect location.
