DISCLAIMER — Casa Pacis

Expectations

We, Klaus and Gundi Heinemann built Casa Pacis in 1982 and have been offering this vacation home for rent since 1983. The home provides stunning ocean views. While modest, it has the amenities one would expect for a vacation home. It is well maintened. All this is commensurate with being offered at reasonable pricing.  Come and stay in Casa Pacis. Some 200 reviews of happy guests try to give you assurance that you will like your stay.

Your expectations are key:

— Expect to come to a modest, charming, small, clean and comfortable 40-year old “original Sea Ranch” home in a fantastic unobstructed white water view location with superb privacy, yet close to the famous “Walk-on-Beach” in Sea Ranch, just a meadow and sand dunes from the ocean.
— Expect to see and hear the sounds of waves crashing onto the nearby beach, and enjoy expansive vistas of the ocean, and all that from everywhere inside your rental home.
— Step out of your rental home and walk just a about a hundred yards to a wide, white sand beach with endless amounts of driftwood, waiting for you to build your own “castle on the beach,” all while you may well be the only person on that beach.
— Hike or jog or meditatively walk on the many miles-long Sea Ranch trail north and south from Casa Pacis along the ocean bluff, while only very occasionally seeing another person on the trail.
— Or take your bicycle on an easy road trip on tens of miles of private Sea Ranch roads west of Hwy One; or take your mountain bike on a challenging single-track ride in the endless nearby mountainous terrain.
— Vacation in an environment devoid of overhead power-lines, where you miraculously see almost no parked or moving cars.
— Play tennis or pickleball or swim in a half-Olympic size swimming pool, all fees included in your rental of Casa Pacis.
— Use a state-of-the-art high-speed fiber-optics based (>100 MBPS up and down), reliable, free, and unlimited Wifi in your vacation home.
— Enjoy the Northern California coastal weather and be surprised that it is even warmer and sunnier than what you expected.
— Expect to be able to enjoy privacy and soak in the best of nature away from it all,

if you are looking for such an experience of superlatives, Casa Pacis will not disappointed you. The overwhelming majority of our guests who came with a sense of appreciation and a certain preparedness to take in the charm of this modestly priced place — as we offer it at our personal taste — were greatly rewarded.

But if you expect Casa Pacis to be a large, brand-new villa amply equipped with the most modern appliances, then The Sea Ranch or Casa Pacis — where we attempt to deliver the best of the above superlatives at affordable pricing — may not make your cut.
