Welcome to this lovely ocean-side getaway!
This home provides a cozy respite and a fun spot for a family vacation or a romantic weekend. 

The location of this home west of Highway One provides invigorating, panoramic ocean views.
Coral Cove is light, contemporary and provides a modern home in a dramatic setting.
Upstairs offers the kitchen, dining area, living room, deck with new Softub and BBQ, and a half-bath. 
New spa and seating needed an updated photo, but weather wasn’t cooperating, so we’re offering here an “artist’s rendering” of a really nice view!

The living room has a couch and recliner and also a TV with DVD and VCR, a woodstove, telescope…and what about those fabulous ocean views? 

Kick back with a great movie, bring a board game and play with the kids…or just gaze at the timeless Pacific. 

Oh! And the open design of the upstairs makes for G-R-R-REAT views!
Downstairs, the main bedroom has a queen bed, cable TV with DVD/VCR and a sitting area. The smaller second bedroom also has a queen bed. Both rooms offer ocean views. There is a single full bathroom on this level. 

Come and discover the beauty of Coral Cove!

We’d like to start the house description with a few excerpts from the guest book:

“What a romantic and peaceful setting to the beginning of our life together. Soaking in the Jacuzzi, playing on the beach, lounging on the deck, and cooking dinners together, this has been our best vacation ever!”

“Thank you for sharing your lovely home – I’ve stayed at many places along the coast, but this has got to be the best.”

“From the beautiful Napa Valley to the beautiful Blue Dolphin Cove. What a way to celebrate my 40th birthday. It was breathtaking. We will be back.”

“G. and I have rented many, many, many rentals alomg our beautiful coast in the last 8 years. We both agree this is by far the most romantic one yet.”

“On our first night here, my boyfriend (now fiance) proposed to me on the deck while we watched the sunset.”

“One of our favorite things was being able to see the whales. We saw dozens while we were here.”

Now, for a few details about Blue Dolphin! Spectacular views sweep south and west across Island Cove. The many rocky mini-islands add to the drama. Some days will seem nearly tropical. Others will thrill you with Nature’s power and changing personality. 

Intimate dining with an infinite view. 

Color…warmth…something to please the eye with every glance. While Blue Dolphin’s bluff-top location certainly contributes to the beautiful setting, the stylish furnishings and playful accents hold their own very nicely. 

Two luxurious bedrooms each with a queen bed and ocean view. 

The bathroom with deep tub is centrally located between the two bedrooms. The view is across the top of the hot tub, and beyond into the cove. There is an additional half-bath just off the living room. The loft has gorgeous views, and also offers the satellite TV with VCR and DVD.

Well, the supplies are all put away, the equipment is all organized. Internet, two flat-screen TV’s, stereos, videos…La Boussole has developed into a lovely and very nicely equipped home. Please be in touch to reserve your getaway while there are still openings for the summer. This Sea Ranch home is a stand-out for many reasons!

“La Boussole” translates to The Compass, named to evoke a place to become clear, and to re-orient oneself. Expanded around a central enclosed courtyard, this large vacation home provides a true base for a completely refreshing getaway. You’ll find ample spaces, with many options for privacy or separation when needed. There are also several areas for regrouping when it’s time to come together. Outdoor living is easy in the courtyard which is nicely sheltered from our mistral wind. The private courtyard includes a lawn, large deck, large hot tub, charcoal BBQ, and plenty of seating and is flanked by the studio and the house.

The house is split-level, and offers a master bedroom and bathroom at one end, and two bedrooms and two baths at the other end. In between, is the large ocean-view dining room right off the kitchen, then up a few steps to the roomy living room with its walls of windows and large fireplace.

The studio is a huge, bright open space for watching TV, relaxing, reading, gazing at the beauty outside, as well as additional sleeping space. There is a small desk in the loft for those who may need a work or study area. The loft also provides a casual seating/lounging arrangement. There is a half-bath in the studio.

While inwardly protecting the wonderful courtyard, La Boussole also opens brightly to her wild and beautiful north coast surroundings. Not far from the shore, one can gaze out at crashing waves and broad ocean views, and enjoy the rugged coastal and hillside expanses. Hiking is a cinch! The trail is just a few feet from the front door, and presents a choice of bluff, hillside or meadow rambles. And a short distance on foot will bring you to the Ohlson Ranch Center pool and tennis, just beyond the Stengle Beach access.

A recent acquisition for new owners, La Boussole has undergone a loving transformation. Be one of the first to experience this lovely vacation home, and set your own new course!

Enjoy the views from this vista point. You can easily imagine calling out the orders to weigh anchor and hoist the sails as you gaze out from this “Captain’s bridge.” Actually, this photo was taken from the master bedroom balcony.

Windsong renters have access to the private beach of Island Cove. This is a remarkable sandy cove, with rocky islets just off-shore. Perfect for diving, sun bathing, watching sea lions and birds on the rocks, or a lovely picnic.

Built in 1994, Windsong is a finely crafted contemporary home with all the amenities, in a one-in-a-million setting on the rugged cliffs north of Gualala. Inside…The greatroom, dining area, breakfast nook and kitchen all share the marvelous high ceiling and airy spaciousness. It’s so easy to enjoy the view from just about anywhere in this perfectly designed house. The layout of the kitchen and family areas make entertaining, cooking, and enjoying conversation so easy! Just off the greatroom and dining area is the large guest bedroom with queen bed and bathroom.

The elegant spiral staircase leads to a sumptuous and private master bedroom suite with an Eastern king bed, sitting area, balcony and bathroom with a large tile shower with a window.

You’ll love the hot tub at this amazing home which is dramatically located just a few feet from the edge of the cliff! The hot tub deck is through the door right next to the dining table, and you’ll find a charcoal BBQ just outside the front door.

So many quality appointments and special touches are found throughout this beautiful, well maintained home. These are a few highlights: satellite TV/VCR, stereo with CD and dual cassette players, wood stove, central heat, washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave. You’ll have to experience the rest in person!

All this, plus a detached studio above the garage with bathroom and queen bed.
