2 Scenic Oceanfront Acres
Your access to the cottages will depend on the number of guests in your booking. To ensure the right spaces are prepared for your group and to maintain compliance with our insurance coverage please provide an accurate guest count at the time of booking, including children and pets. Any changes to your guest count must be communicated before check-in.
Guests 1–10 will have access to two cottages:
- Whalewatchers: The main cottage features three king bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, stylish furnishings and outdoor projector screen with projector—perfect for families or small groups.
- Sea Star: The second cottage includes a king master bedroom, a queen sleeper sofa, a full bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen. Enjoy your workouts with the smart weight training gym, including a rowing accessory for cardio, and unwind with cozy movie nights on the 110” pull-down projector screen in the living room.
Guests 11–14 will also have access to
- Sea Horse Cottage, which features a queen master bedroom, a full bathroom, a living room with a queen sofa bed, and a kitchenette. A minimum guest count of 12 is required for access to the Sea Horse cottage.

NOTE: We only rent Reverie by-the-Sea to one group at a time, so regardless of number of guests in your group, you’ll enjoy complete privacy and exclusive access to the entire property throughout your stay.
The Location
Located in one of the most desirable stretches of the Northern California coast—Gualala’s banana belt, a narrow coastal microclimate spanning just a few miles but one that offers a big perk: over 250 sunny days a year, compared to the often foggy conditions typical of most coastal towns with their 100-140 sunny days.
Thanks to its sheltered position and unique geography, the banana belt stays warmer and sunnier, allowing you to enjoy ocean-view mornings, sunset dinners on the deck, and more time exploring outdoors. It’s a small slice of the coast—but one that makes a big difference in your experience!
With wide open space, a hot tub, room for your pups to play, and stunning ocean views, this is the perfect coastal escape for families, friend groups, or company retreats
