We had a lovely time! The house is beautifully decorated, and the ocean views are stunning. We had everything we needed, including a baby high chair, which saved us when we realized we forgot ours. We enjoyed walking on the bluff trail right outside our door and cozying up by the fireplace. The management team's communication was on point -- they delivered us more batteries during the Super Bowl when we needed them to turn on the fireplace. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We hope to be back soon.

The house has spectacular views with a wonderful bluff location. The house is lovely. We had a great time. However disappointed with some aspects of the house. It advertises 3 bedrooms, however the 3rd bedroom while advertised as a bunk bed with full mattress, the mattress is a thin mattress on a metal frame. Not comfortable for a week long vacation for an adult sleeping there. Also found the house not supplied as I am used to for VRBOs. There were some maintenance issues which the management responded quickly to. Appreciated the easy communication and response. I have stayed in many Sea Ranch homes and found this one nice but recommend third bedroom for children and not adults.

This property could be rated 5, but we had some issues, hence the rating of 3. The home is lovely, the location is excellent, the views are amazing. But we had problems with a non-functioning living room heater (it's February! it was raining and windy!). Also had issues with the fireplace and the hot tub. There were only 2 glasses that could be used as wine and/or drinking glasses. The notebook in the home was generic and not helpful. These are all maintenance issues that could have been avoided, and we have communicated to the property manager who says they will be looked into/taken care of. We sincerely hope so because we would stay in this home again if these problems were fixed.

Fantastic experience!

My husband and I, together with two single friends, shared this home over the 4th of July weekend and it was fantastic. The house is spacious and extremely well stocked and it was in immaculate condition. And the location was perfect. Great setup for a large family or group of friends - would come back in a heartbeat.

Stylish Coastal Retreat with Ocean Views

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Sea Ranch home! The location is unbeatable—right by the ocean, with breathtaking views and peaceful surroundings. The architecture has an artistic touch, and the interior is tastefully decorated with stylish furniture and thoughtful details throughout.The house is very spacious, with three comfortable bedrooms and clean, well-appointed bathrooms. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. The maintenance team was responsive and helpful whenever we had a request.The only thing we wish had been provided was a travel crib for our infant. Other than that, everything was great and we truly enjoyed our time here. Highly recommend for a serene coastal getaway!

Beautiful home right on the bluffs

This was a terrific place to stay -- really no complaints. The home was very clean, well set up and furnished (beds and furnishings are all comfortable) and the location could not be better in Sea Ranch. It is literally a 20 second walk to the bluffs. We come to Sea Ranch often (and stay in various homes) and I think this one is our new favorite. We will be back!

Paradise

This house was so perfect. It was the perfect size for our family, and ideally situated within Sea Ranch. Our kids loved playing in the main room and it was easy to watch them from the kitchen, and the upstairs suite has a spectacular view. Not many houses in Sea Ranch are this close to the water, so this was a real treat. Beaches are reasonable walking distance, which made for great outings. We loved it and would love to come back again!

The house is really special. Beautiful interior that is thoughtful and modern with spacious rooms that are great for socializing and spending time with friends or family! The best part is that you can see the water the whole time you’re inside. :-) Comfortable beds, equipped kitchen, stunning sounds and views.

Great Location - Beautiful Views

The location of this home cannot be beat. Despite the fierce winds during our stay, the patio facing the ocean is perfectly protected and we were able to spend a lot of time out there enjoying our coffee, wine etc. This was a pleasant surprise! The sun was warm in the protected space. The home is dated of course but that is to be expected in The Sea Ranch and we did not mind. The beds are comfortable with the exception of the bunk beds which I think might be futons and the bottom bunk is very low to the ground. Probably fine for kids but not for us older ladies. The home is adequately stocked for staying in and cooking most meals like we did.

Birthday trip

The view was beautiful. Property management office is not well marked, fireplaces were broken, loud sloshing coming from the floor vents after we showered. Location was perfect, hot tub outside not facing the beach, the area is dark and the light was dim so being another light for the hot tub. Front door is hard to open.

Wonderful house, great location

This house is in beautiful condition and perfectly located on the waterfront, next to the Bluff Trail, and in walking distance to Del Mar Rec/Swim center. The kitchen is a bit cramped and could use more basic supplies (cooking oil??); dish & cookware is adequate. But this is a minor concern relative to the impeccable upkeep, beautiful space, gorgeous master suite, and excellent location. Also the hot tub was in good condition and very clean. My only real complaint is that the patio furniture was dirty when we arrived and we couldn't even find a rag to clean it with.

Short Getaway

The home's location was wonderful, just steps to the walking path that leads you up and down the breathtaking coast. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds comfortable. The bathrooms could be updated a bit, several towel bars were missing in the master room and there was no shower bath mats. One of the big master windows has moisture between the glass making it hard to see out. The main fireplace was not working despite the host saying it was in working order. The hot tub stayed at 101 never reaching 104 but it worked well enough the stars were amazing. Overall the home was nice, but some attention in a few areas is needed. Sea Ranch is a great area for peace and quiet. The sauna at the community pool area was wonderful.

We loved the house and had a great stay but there were a few issued that came up during our stay which are worth noting.--The checkout time is very early (10am). We were traveling with children, which makes an early checkout particularly difficult, and made multiple requests for a late checkout which were abruptly dismissed by the property manager with little sense of understanding. In addition, the cleaner was literally waiting across the street starting at 9:30am which made us feel very awkward as we were trying to vacate the unit by the required checkout time.--Both of the fireplaces are not functional. The one upstairs in the master bedroom has a sign saying not to use it, which was noted in the listing. But the one downstairs has no instructions, and we were not able to figure out how to turn it on. This was disappointing because it was part of the reason we chose to stay here.--The heaters do not seem to work. When you turn them on, either nothing happens, or they blow room-temperature air. I would be nervous to stay here during the winter.--We found a stack of unwashed bowls in the cabinet, which was pretty gross.Regardless of the above, we did have a good stay and I would recommend this house, particularly for the location. But given the problems noted above, I think that it should be priced a little lower, at least until they are addressed.
