Samson Getaway - Ocean-view meadow home with hot tub near Walk On Beach, dogs welcome

Your deck doubles as a whale-watching station during migration season at this ocean-view retreat. Soak in the hot tub as the sun dips below the Pacific. Bring your pup -- dogs love the bluff trails here. Room for 8 in this 3-bedroom home. Sea Ranch community pools, tennis courts, and the Lodge are nearby. Whale watching, sunset hikes, and starlit skies -- the coast is calling. The light here shifts by the hour -- silver mornings, gold afternoons, pink-and-orange sunsets.

This family retreat is in an ideal Sea Ranch meadow location. The home is harmonious with nature and affords many pet-friendly and kid-friendly features. There are two bedrooms downstairs.

Also downstairs is a spacious kitchen, dining, and living room space with fireplace, window seats, and a kid and pet-friendly composite floor. Upstairs is a bunkroom that is just perfect for kids of all ages. The maximum occupancy is eight and two dogs can join you!

This home has a great blue water ocean view and decks facing the ocean, just begging for someone to sit and quietly contemplate. The Bluff Trail, Walk-On Beach, Tide Pool Beach, Shell Beach, and the marine preserve are just a short walk away.

So whether you're coming to The Sea Ranch to read your favorite book while sitting in the window seat, soak in the hot tub, or walk the Bluff Trail, make Samson your Sea Ranch home away from home.

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.

December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. Wildflower season (April-June) transforms the coastal bluffs into a tapestry of color -- worth an extra walk on the trails. Summer offers long days and warm afternoons, though the iconic Sonoma Coast fog often rolls in at sunrise and clears by noon.

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.
