The property is so clean and comfortable. 5 Stars! (Jamina, July) All guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we are counting down until our next weekend away at the Sea Ranch. I would highly recommend this to all and after staying at several beach houses along the Peninsula this is certainly the best house for entertaining and value for money. I would also recommend booking any holiday or weekend away with Verve travel and leisure as they made this experience as enjoyable as the weekend away. The consultants were attentive to all needs and ensured that it was a seamless booking. The key was waiting for us when we arrived so there was no need to drive around town looking for a pick-up point and the complimentary wine and assorted goodies were appreciated upon our arrival. This is was a true customer service experience and I must say, well done Verve Vacation Rentals! (Marc, July) " What a wonderful time we all had at the Sea Ranch. The house is just beautiful with so much to do, I wish we had more time to stay longer. " (Leanne, November) Pets: Strictly no pets allowed please. Note: New 5 meter gas heated plunge pool with jets & golf driving area. Please note that bookings that could possibly breach the local council Code of Conduct are unable to be confirmed.

There was so much to do and explore. The hosts were so helpful and accommodating. We would definitely come back and look forward to enjoying all the property has to offer. ##### Esther G. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Gemma L., Melbourne, Australia 15 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great outdoor space for families We had a fun weekend with 2 families at Sea Ranch. The tennis court and large outdoor areas were well maintained and entertained 6 children for hours. Indoors the decor is relaxed and possibly a bit tired in areas but the price is reflective of this. The queen bed on the ground floor needs replacing as it sags in the middle. There is no door to the upstairs bedroom which would be fine if your kids aren't early risers. There is no WiFi at the property and Telstra phone reception is patchy - no good if you're wanting to work. Great location with good coffee a 5 min walk down the road. ##### Gemma L. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Samantha K. 26 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent stay! My family and I had such a wonderful stay at this home in Rye. Everything was accounted for and communication with the property manager was seamless. There was firewood available for our use plenty of tennis rackets for the court and the kids made great use of the basketball ring. I would highly recommend this home to a large family/families as the facilities were fabulous! ##### Samantha K.

The weather was not ideal but our use of the wood fire and availability of space made it a wonderful stay. For two nights we had 14 people and the other two nights 10 people and we managed very well thanks to the venue. The location was also great as we just loved the ocean beach which was just a short walk away. ##### Colin T.

Is it possible to give more than 5 Stars? If not then FIVE STARS IT IS for all areas! Wonderful house, very spacious, very clean and in a nice location, short drives away from the front and the back beach. Lovely, well maintained tennis court and spa which we put to good us. The main lounge room with the bar, TV and the dining room with the big rectangle table were fantastic to host a larger number of friends along with the 14 comfy beds and air conditioned rooms. The organisation was first class. I received a confirmation phone call and call backs for questions and helpful emails during the stay. Check in was very easy with the key safe and we were granted a very late 6:00pm check out. This house also offers a complimentary concierge service which we didn't end up using however would be very handy in future. Thank you for a great stay, definitely recommending Sea Ranch! ##### Adrian This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tristan 1 Jul 2017 #### Wow, such a great place!
