Amazingly peaceful vacation stay with minor quirks

by Kourosh
This place is as great at it looks in the listing photos. What\'s difficult to capture is the serene & quiet atmosphere of Sea Ranch and the general mood in the house. Aptly named \"deer watch\", we saw many deer (some with antlers too) pass by quietly! One thing to note is that you cannot comfortably walk barefoot in this house - it\'s not just that the floor is hard, it\'s an odd choice of material normally used for exterior surfaces, concrete with pebbles. Do bring sandals. Overall highly recommended! The only reason I\'m deducting a star is that it looks like the property manager has neglected multiple minor things: - Fan not working, not mentioned in the listing. Even though the lows were in the 40s when we stayed, the house has so many windows and does heat up a lot. It got uncomfortably warm inside - Second shower\'s faucet is broken and doesn\'t produce hot water, essentially making one shower unusable - Many lights not working, this is an easy fix and shows lack of attention: 2 lights above the bed in the master bed, the oven light (we were baking and it was difficult to see without opening the oven), jacuzzi light, main shower light (a big problem for women if you shave in the shower, you\'d have to do this in the dark) - Minor other things: Roku TV remote battery was dead and not operable; 2nd bedroom window opening to the front courtyard is falling apart (the frame lifts while the glass stays put); sliding door by the kitchen doesn\'t lock easily; external TV sound didn\'t work - Trail closures at Shell Beach: trails were closed starting 10/23. Given that Sea Ranch HOA manages these and communicates with the owner/property manager, some notice on this would have been nice, as one of the selling points of this place is proximity to beaches/trails And finally a nice to have addition would be to add some basic exterior awning/shade: the house gets full sun the entire day, and it\'s uncomfortable to sit anywhere outside from sunrise to sunset

Cosy, relaxing spot

by Amar
The house is really nice and cosy, close to the shoreline. Very comfortable beds, sofas, etc. Nice warm sunshine... Beware of the neighbors however - they are rude and unfriendly - they default to yelling instead of informing...

Lovely spot in mid-Sea Ranch

Very comfortable house. We loved the view over the meadow. We saw lots of wild life. We loved the fact that the house was dog friendly.

Lovely home in need of a couple things

by Nicole H.
We loved the location of the home however the neighbors yelled at us as soon as we got there. we were just walking to the beach to stretch our legs and they didn’t like that we were walking on a deer trail. The house was nice but wish we would have known about the rock floor, it hurt our feet since we didn’t bring slippers. The heaters were not efficient and it was hard to stay warm. One other thing that was frustrating was there was not enough dishwasher soap. For a family of 6 eating 3 meals a day requires running the dishwasher daily and they only gave us 2 packets. It would have been nice to have a curtain over the door in the master shower room as anyone in the courtyard can see you. It was lovely to have a hot tub but as a safety issue there was no thermometer, so we didn’t know if the water was a safe temperature for the kids. The location of the house was great and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. There were puzzles and games which was also nice.

Amazing

by Anna B.
Only thing to report is that the "primary" bathroom shower is not super private and either the fan was broken or we couldn't figure it out. House was amazing, views were wonderful, hot tub was perfect, kitchen was fully stocked. The pebble floors are honestly lovely and the bedrooms are fantastic. Even the loft, which we didn't use is great. It could be blocked off entirely to be private for sleeping, which is a great feature. We loved this home. 10 out of 10 would stay here again.

Nice location but crabby neighbors...

by pinkie f.
A nice place - comfortable with great views and it fit our grown family well (including my 86 year-old mother). But the neighbors a couple of doors down were vehement dog dis-likers who freaked out on my son's sweet dog twice and readily called security on us. We tried to talk it out but they weren't having it. Security was LOVELY and understanding! We do love Sea Ranch for all it has to offer but not every resident is thoughtful... Thanks for sharing your home!

BEAUTIFUL LOCATION!!

by Susan S.
Wonderful place to stay. We saw tons of deer in our own backyard. Saw a whale, sea lions and a raccoon! Very comfortable! Easy access to a lovely beach. 2 miles from Gualala. Only thing I would say negative is the online pictures make the house look a lot bigger. Living room is very nice, but smaller than I thought. Also, I think the cleaning people need to do a better job. I ended up cleaning the walls behind the trashcan because they were streaks of coffee grinds and other stuff. Some dishes were dirty and dusty in the rooms. However, I would recommend this place!

Unforgettable first time experience at Sea Ranch!

by Danicka L.
Location: Amazing! Accommodations: Pretty good Overall: Wonderful! Loved the hot tub. The earthy pebble floor was cool and interesting. Location is amazing! Enjoyed watching the local wildlife (seals + pups, deer, birds...). Did not really use the pools or other amenities because of COVID restrictions and time constraints. Really appreciated the view, hiking, and hanging out at the beach. A few minor notes: -Wrong address printed on our welcome packet, would have taken us to the wrong unit but I knew the right address from the email -Unnecessary visit to Gualala to pick up packet when parking passes could simply be left at the unit and key code can be emailed in advance -Equally unnecessary return trip to Gualala to return welcome packet, just have guests leave it at the unit... Other than these few glitches, experience was amazing and unforgettable!
