"The house is super clean, full of amenities and super comfortable beds with soft sheets. Good nature views and peaceful to spend time on the back deck. The king bed and extra twin is upstairs via a very narrow & steep spiral staircase. This is pictured in the listing. Sea Ranch is very relaxing and we loved walking along the cliffs and exploring the beaches. Very relaxing getaway."

8/10 Good
"The property is in a good location, has nice views of the ocean, the kitchen was nice, and well supplied, and was clean. Two issues were that it seemed the last renter before us must have burned a lot of wood in the fireplace, because the smell was very noticeable, and the property, which is older, could use a refresh in a number of areas. Having said that, we enjoyed our Sea Ranch vacation."
