Going Costal

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Available TV: News, weather, movies. Cannot search or record programs unless you already know how from years of experience renting at Sea Ranch (73 times); not in the instructions. Giants fans out of luck, unavailable. Step down in master bedroom is an accident waiting to happen, if it already hasn't. Not recommended for older people with balance problems. A lot of thought went into this house by the owners, thanks.
