The house was a little dated, but the location, scenery and deck looking out to the ocean completely made up for it! The beach was also only a short walk away. The check-in was super easy and it had all of the necessities stocked. ##### Suzie Y.

House was very comfortable. We would go back again, but I would like to go with my 89 year old mother who would not be able to manuever stairs or high bed (which was very comfortable!). ##### Janet A.

Very close walk to the ocean. Great trails for walking/running by the beach. Excellent access to the pool/recreation center close by, as well as to the Sea Ranch lodge for coffee/pastries. Very relaxing. Would highly recommend, and would love to stay here again. ##### Michelle M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ngaio P. 5 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An incredible location and family home This home is one of the few in Sea Ranch that look to be owned and used by the same family for many years — we loved their homely touches and decor. The house is in the most incredible location at Sea Ranch, and is very comfortable. The house needs to update their bedframes (they are so loud that simply getting onto the bed would wake up our child in the room next door or downstairs!) and they are small double beds which is tricky for any adults over 5.5ft! The house also needs some deep cleaning — the couches and mats are stained from use and need to be reupholstered or cleaned. That being said, it is a beautiful home and in the most incredible spot in Sea Ranch and I'd highly recommend. ##### Ngaio P. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susanna C. 12 Oct 2023 #### Beautiful views This house has gorgeous views! Probably my favorite Sea Ranch house due to the proximity to trails and view of the water. I also found the house itself to be cozy and very clean. The only downside is that the beds are quite hard, so not good if you like softer beds. ##### Susanna C. ### 4/10 Poor #### Peggy S. 2 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful location, house neglected Location of this property is great! The house however is run down and needs a lot of updating and general maintenance. Property managers are responsive. ##### Peggy S.

We were particularly happy with the wood burning stove because the power went out during the storm, and we were able to cuddle up near the fire, stay warm, and hang out. Plenty of room downstairs to fit 4-6 people, and a doggo, assuming you like the people you vacation with. ##### Monica K.

The house having a washer and dryer was a nice bonus. It would have been nice if the furniture was actually comfortable though. Also everything was very clean at waist level. However the floor and furniture had lots of hair from other guests which was a bit off putting. Definitely would stay here again though. ##### Leia M.

The neighborhood is a 10/10, the most beautiful coastal town I’ve ever been to. The balcony view from the house itself is worth every penny! The kitchen was well stocked and had all the appliances we needed. The decor inside was a little dated, including the deer heads mounted on the walls, so if I could change one thing it would be those. Otherwise a perfect spot! ##### Kelly T.

Full 180 degree shot of the ocean. Quick walk to beach. Love the back deck sitting area watching the sun set. Enjoyed the funky decorative vibe inside. Heat worked well. Shower head downstairs could easily be raised up and replaced. Also, an exhaust fan in downstairs bathroom would be nice as well. ##### Joe W.

Winter was tough as the power went out and there was no assistance from anyone. Vacasa was no help at all. The wood stove kept us warm but no help was given during three days of outage. Expected more when paying for the rental. If coming in winter, be prepared. Once power was back, the house is a nice rustic rental with a great view and access to the trails. ##### Brian R. ### 6/10 Okay #### David M. 17 Nov 2018 #### property location is great. Only a few problems with the insides like AV system and bed frame The management fee's and taxes were almost equal to the cost to rent the house for 4 nights. What's wrong with this picture Homeaway? There needs to be more upfront disclosure about total cost. Maybe, adjust them downward as well. ##### David M.

Exactly what my family and I love. Everything was clean and organized when we arrived. View was spectacular, even better than a pricier Sea Ranch home I stayed in that was closer to the water. Location was also better for my family and I, as it felt more private yet so easy to just walk to the beach. I really can’t think of anything to improve this wonderful home. I have read some other reviews saying the house is dated. I am not sure what they are talking about. The house has everything anyone could ever need for a relaxing vacation by the sea. The facilities are well kept, wifi incredibly fast, and water pressure is just wow! You are clearly shown pictures of the home’s “aesthetic” and it is decorated to take you back to a time where people don’t worry about checking your texts and instagram every minute. However, if you are the type to like a more modern/upscale/bougie style, you way want to try changing your vacation location. Sea Ranch connects you with nature and serenity, and this house is the epitome of that. Thank you for letting me and my family enjoy such an amazingly peaceful getaway here. ##### Danielle A. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kate H. 5 Dec 2018 #### Great view, run down house This is my second time trying to post this review, seems a little concerning that my first one didn’t post. Anyway, the view and location is amazing! However the house itself could use a little TLC. The beds are very old, and they’ve put a layer of foam on them to try and make it more comfortable. Everything is very creaky in this house, and it’s definitelt not for tall people. The shower hit me below my arm pit. For the price the view is pretty worth it, but they do make you pay a lot of extra fees. Two types of service fees and An additional rental fee is ridiculous, the totals of all these fees almost double the cost of the house to rent for a week. ##### Kate H.
