Beautiful house, views, and stay! The kitchen was well-stocked and communication was a breeze, with instant responses even at night and on a holiday. It was a perfect location to walk to some of the best tidepooling in Sea Ranch, and passes for the pool and pickleball courts were very convenient.

Lovely, Cozy Home

The size is absolutely perfect for our family of three - we loved all the special nooks and crannies, different sitting areas were each unique and my son tested them all! The meadow view is outstanding and you don't feel like anyone is looking in on you in the home, everyone's view seems very well positioned!

A real getaway.

House was a little dated, but comfortable and thoughtfully supplied. Main thing was the sound and sight of the ocean and the walks on the bluffs above.

Gracious home in a serene setting

We really loved this home. Parts of it are a little worn (like the couch), but the layout and the views are extraordinary. I especially loved the kitchen - the counter tile, the cutting boards, all the supplies. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Location

The home is cozy and well located near the ocean and a beautiful cove within a few minutes stroll. The home would benefit greatly from an updated kitchen, kitchen utensils/accoutrements and bathrooms.

Great view, great location

We really enjoyed our trip! What a beautiful setting. The accommodations were great. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. We watched deer padding through the foliage at dusk, which speaks to how peaceful the place is. It was near everything, beaches, hikes, groceries, swimming. Can't wait for a return visit!

Amazing

We loved our stay at the Glass House. We could hear the ocean and enjoy the view. The built-ins and mid century furniture added to the magic of our stay. The only small issue: Pots and pans could be replaced, they very old. Looking forward to returning.

Lovely home.

Very comfortable, with many cozy nooks to hang out in for reading, chatting, or having a cocktail and watching the wildlife amble by. Amenities were just right. We weren't lacking for anything, though it would have been great if the tennis courts had been open. The views along the hiking trails were stunning. I look forward to staying at the Glass House again!

Could have stayed forever

The house was cozy yet spacious with nice decor. Waking up to the panoramic ocean view stretched out before us was by far the best part. The distant sound of the hum of the ocean adding to the appeal. We saw deer grazing in the meadow on our first night. A very peaceful and beautiful house and location. We hope to visit again!

Gorgeous view, comfortable house

The house is very comfortable, well-equipped and is set in a lovely location with gorgeous ocean views. The proximity to trails was perfect! The private deck is large and great for evening sunsets and the wildlife is amazing; deer, fox, bunnies (bear paw prints on our car one morning - don't keep food in your car!). Overall. We would return to this serene location.

Relaxing moments

The house is very comfortable downstairs, but could use some TLC with wood work and better toilets & seats. With that said, the history of this house is intoxicating and highly recommend.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 June 2023
We appreciate the guests feedback. Unfortunately, most homes in Sea Ranch have water stains on the wood around the windows and ceilings as for many years Sea Ranch did not allow home owners to install gutters. The toilet seat has since been replaced. The home owner built this home with her husband in the 70's and loves the old Sea Ranch style that their home has.
