Sea Ranch Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were looking for a place to go to escape our summer heat and friends suggested Sea Ranch. This was our first time there and we enjoyed every minute. The home we selected was perfect for the two of us and in a wonderful spot. It’s a terrific place to relax, enjoy long walks on the shore and forget all the stress of normal life. We would definitely go back!

Private and peaceful

My husband and I stayed for a 4 day weekend - it was the perfect getaway. The location was convenient and perfect for our needs. The rental property was very well appointed, perfectly clean, and had everything we needed. The house is set back from the road, nestled behind shrubs and almost in the trees. It is as private as it can be in Sea Ranch and we didn't see the neighbors at all. Beautiful ocean view, lots of quail and deer walking past, and steps from the coastal path. We will be back! It was perfect.

This is a small home perfect in size and location for a couple to enjoy Sea Ranch. The lighting is rather dim, which might be difficult to easily rectify given the layout. The tile floors should be deeply cleaned. The audio on the TV needs to be amplified. But none of this significantly detracted from our having a great break and thoroughly enjoying Sea Ranch. We might well return to the Cozy Cottage.

Spring 2026 Solo Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The interior of the home was clean and generally well maintained. The home could use better lighting (both General and reading). The stairs from the main floor to the bathroom level may be too steep for some people. The stairs from the bathroom level to the bedroom level are just fine. The tv and WiFi worked very well and the views to the ocean are excellent. The driveway from the road to the house is needs is quite curved and needs a better turn around area near the house so one doesn’t have to back out to the street.

Nice location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit is close to Walk on Beach and the bluff trail. It was clean upon arrival. The kitchen was fairly well stocked. Private. The bed was comfortable. Poor lighting if you like to read; a few floor lamps would help. The downstairs furniture was not comfortable for me and my back. The primary heat source is the wood stove, which I had some difficulty with but eventually got going. An electric heater in the bedroom would be nice. As noted in the listing, there is no hot tub or bbq.

Dream sea ranch getaway

I couldn't have asked for a better place for solo retreat (would be perfect for a couple as well). Beautiful spot steps from the ocean with a meadow in front and plenty of space between neighborhing properties, lovely mid-century modern furnishings, Cypress grove immediately to the North and all the amenities one needs. The design of the house is the typical open Sea Ranch style, but with touches that also made it cozy and comfortable. I started my day on the patio with a cup of coffee, watching the ocean and a white tailed kite hunting in the meadow and ended each day in the same place with a glass of wine watching the sun set over the Pacific. My one suggestion would be shades for the sliding glass door in the Living Room and the window in the TV nook. It felt a little exposed, but more importantly, the windows confused the birds, 2 of whom sadly flew into them.

Hello Anne, We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at Coastal Cottage. Since the Sea Ranch trimmed down several trees in this area, it has opened up a wonderful view of the ocean. Owner is looking into purchasing new shades in the future. Beach Rentals Management
