We loved the place- 1970’s vibes especially. The nearby Shell Beach was perfect for us. Dinner at the Lodge was excellent. Everything aesthetically pleasing , as one expects from the Sea Ranch.

Beautiful Location, Cozy Home

We had a wonderful stay and would rent this property again. It's a bit dated, but still quite lovely. The location can NOT be beat. Everything you need to enjoy Sea Ranch is at the house. It's obviously a well loved old family vacation home. My only recommendation is to definitely bring your own towels if you can. The towel service is skimpy. But the beds are super comfy and the toilet paper was oddly lush!
