The Space:
Enjoy everything from quiet window seats to a private hot tub at this, forested rental, surrounded by trees and natural beauty. This serene lodge is ideal for a family getaway for up to four or a romantic vacation for two.

Surrounded by nature, this perfect getaway has plenty of peace, quiet, and opportunities for relaxation - indoors and outdoors. Natural wood walls, comfortable surroundings, and amenities characterize this charming Sea Ranch home.
Relax in the living room on the sofa, watching a show on the cable TV or bringing a DVD along for movie night. This bright and airy room has large windows and oversized window seats, where you can lounge and read a good book. If you love to cook, you'll delight in honing your craft in the kitchen with professional cookware.

A maximum of four guests can sleep here comfortably between the two bedrooms. You'll also have two full bathrooms to share. Other amenities include a private washer/dryer and two outdoor lounge chairs, where you can relax in the pool and get some sun. In the evening, take a soak under the stars in the private hot tub, spend some time sweating all the stress of everyday life out in the sauna (at Sea Ranch rec centers), or both. Golf pros and amateurs alike love Sea Ranch Golf Links, a 6,649-yard course with rolling hills and incredible ocean views from every angle.
When you're not cooking in your vacation rental, you'll love dining at Black Point Grill in the Sea Ranch Lodge.

Thank you, Dina, for your lovely feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay in our cozy vacation house. We look forward to welcoming you back for another peaceful retreat in the woods!
Perfect cozy getaway to celebrate our anniversary. We loved the sauna hot tub and made great use of the grill for a dinner in. The house had so much character and really made us feel like we could truly unplug and relax. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you, Ryan! We’re thrilled you chose our property for your anniversary celebration. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the sauna, hot tub, and the character of the house. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway!
This was the best of both aspects of Sea Ranch. Close enough to the beach to go every day for a walk on the beach. But also up in the wooded area for fantastic woodland views, and gorgeous woodland hiking trails.

Mountain style home by the ocean
Loved the view and being surrounded by trees, the hot tub and sauna were a plus! Would stay here again.
House was perfect! Loved the location in woods and cozy/well-appointed. Still easy to get to the ocean or take walk in the woods. Just wished the hot tub had been heated before arriving—took a little over a day to get to temp. Sauna was amazing
