Property needed a little TLC. Bathroom in primary needs some updating. Foxes were feeling very comfortable coming on the deck and patio attached to primary bedroom. I felt like we should have been warned having a dog with us.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall good, but the bathrooms lack heaters and exhaust fans. They do have windows but you could only open during the day because of the critters. We had both raccoons and at least one kit fox. The small bathroom shower was not as clean as I like. The master bathroom we had to use a hand towel to keep from slipping.
The home has a great location and view. Definitely a plus being walking distance to the lodge. Home is comfortable and even nicer than it appears in photos.

We had a wonderful time here, especially the kiddos. The ocean views were spectacular and we especially enjoyed the hot tub at night and viewing all the stars. What a great experience for the whole family!
My husband and I and our pup (6 y/o) had a nice relaxing time at Point-of-View. The house was very spacious and clean. Great location with a fantastic view of the ocean, short walk to the beach, and plenty of trails for hiking nearby. The house also has a hot tub and sauna/yoga room, which we didn’t use either during our stay but both looked inviting. We would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
Best Birthday ever. 6 of us stayed here. WE loved it due to the views, the deck, and the kitchen. Rooms are small and beds are only queens, bathrooms are small...but if you are into family time at the kitchen, kitchen table, family room, or on the deck..... It is the house for you. Kitchen is well stocked and these owners spend the extra couple of dollars and leave garbage bags, paper towels, a few spices and baggies..which is better than most rentals (which is so appreciated) and they did a sweet thing for our dog. I would come back again and again. People should be warned you have to drive all the way to Gualala to pick up your key, which is a drag especially after that drive...:)
We loved our stay in this beautiful house! The location right on the water cannot be beat and we all enjoyed sitting on the deck as much as possible watching the whales play. We were two families with two young children each and a dog and the space was more than ample to accommodate our family. The only challenge we had was that the oven didn’t seem to work and wouldn’t get up to heat but we were able to make do with the grill and the toaster oven.

We are so pleased you loved your stay at the Point of View house, and that it fit your family so well. Thank you for the feedback on the oven. We have contracted with a local appliance repair person who found a part of the oven was faulty and needed to be replaced. That part is on order now with the repair pending.
We hope we can help you again in the future!

We had a wonderful time at this property. The home was perfect for our family, amazing views with direct access to walking trail, recreation center and the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook fabulous meals. Thank you for sharing your home! We hope to return soon.

Reviewer Comments:
Location of the house could not have been more perfect for beach trail access or just sitting on the deck watching the crashing waves and incredible sunsets. Common living spaces were generous and well furnished. Lots of sleeping space but the bathrooms (only two) were hugely disappointing. The shower in the second bathroom was only 27" square - impossible for adult useage. Baths need updated now - this is not inexpensive to stay here.

The view was spectacular! The oversized dining table was great for our needs: one part for meals, one part for games, one part for jigsaw puzzle. Management staff was very helpful when we needed more supplies to last our stay. Also very helpful and professional in making reservations and inquiries. The unit wasn't as clean as we expected. Some pots and pans were dirty, as well as some glassware and a few plates. Table had not be cleaned thoroughly. Debris in the chair that reclines. The bathrooms are very dated and not in good condition. It would be an improvement to have at least one king size bed in the master. Many of the windows appear to have blown seals, hampering the view. The blackout shades were great.

6/30/23 We are so happy you enjoyed Point of View. The white water view is spectacular! The oversized dining table is a great addition. The Beach Rentals cleaning standards were not met. Please call Beach Rentals when you find cleaning problems. Unfortunately the bedrooms at Point of View do not allow for a king size bed. The failed windows are in the process of being repaired, but it just takes time. We hope to have them replaced soon.

Our family had an incredible 7 day stay at Point of View house. Fabulous amenities with this home, and a view that was just out of this world. We enjoyed the back deck/patio immensely, watching the sun, sky, and sea change as each day unfolded. The final day was capped with a pod of whales that visited the Pacific coast just off Black's Point. We will be back!

For our 21st annual get-together, we chose Sea Ranch instead of the Tahoe area. Our usual group of 8-9 former workmates (ages 73-80) was reduced to 6 for a variety of reasons. The Point-of-View property was perfect for our group. Location was spectacular and house easily met our needs.

Just returned from wonderful stay with six others and dog at Point of View. Loved being so close to the ocean, good set up for larger group, wonderful to have closed in yard for dog and children. It was very warm (for Sea Ranch) during our stay and it made the upstairs loft extremely warm. The one window in the loft was hard to open. Need more portable fans for future possible heat waves.

We enjoyed our 4-night stay in this very welcoming property right on the water with a great beach view. Our young children loved their bunk roomand the enclosed outdoor garden with shower, play area and hot tub. Our labrador felt safe and perfectly happy too. We have rebooked for next year, as we decided this was the best home for our family needs (grandparents, adult children, grandchildren and pup.)The only item needing attention is the replacement of two large fogged view windows in living room. Thank you!
