Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife, our daughter, her husband and I spent 5 perfect days at Sea Ranch. Our rental home was "Sandpiper Nest. The rental home was perfect in every way. Two master suits on each end with a beautiful great room and very large kitchen in-between with large windows and an ocean view.Everything we needed was provided by the owner. The rental home like most homes we have rented was in close proximity to the ocean paths. The home was beautifully decorated and the design of the home was perfect. We all agreed that this rental home gets an A+. The management team, "Sea Ranch Beach Rentals" were very accommodating and the entire process from beginning to end was easy and nicely explained.

Just OK

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the size of the kitchen, dining, and family room and the kitchen was well appointed. The issue was the bed sizes - description said "two queen beds", the beds were definitely full size beds. The biggest downside was the spiders, there were so many spiders. We stayed for 2 of our 5 night stay and had to be moved to another home. The last straw was a huge black widow above the shower, that's when I called the office. The staff was concerned and responsive, thank goodness there was another home available. As long as they keep up on pest service this was a nice home.

Room for improvement

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: I recommend this house for two couples who are both sharing a bed. The two bedrooms downstairs work out pretty well, but the one upstairs was not very serviceable for us. We had our teenage son in one bedroom downstairs, and our young daughter in the loft bedroom and she was not comfortable staying up there. We had her in our bed and did not sleep very well. There is no bathroom upstairs and the bedroom is at the top of a very steep staircase. This tiny room could work for one teenager who is comfortable being alone upstairs, or a single adult, but honestly it’s not the most comfortable because of the lack of a bathroom, it is quite tiny and collects heat, and the stairs. I thought this was the most important thing to share about this house. The other is that there are no high quality pots and pans and I recommend bridging your own if are discerning about these things. The teflon pans provided are scratched (the rental company knows about this and were very responsive to my suggestion). The home is very much a rental and not terrible loved, but it is in a good location. Sea Ranch Rentals is the best and listened to all my little nit picks. As always, Sea Ranch is a dream and our relative discomfort did not detract from the beauty of where we were.

Sandpiper Nest a well equipped home with a nice location

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: This was the third time I've rented this home and everything was as expected. I have grandkids and the upstairs is an ideal setup for them. The location is nice as it's only a 5 minute walk to Walk-On beach. The front deck offers a wind secluded area to sit and read and enjoy the ocean view. The kitchen is spacious with most everything one would need. My only complaint was too much rain this year!

After renting many homes over the past 30 years, we were delighted to discover this exceptional house. It is very well appointed and comfortable. Having two master bedroom suites on opposite ends of the house provides privacy. We enjoyed the deck with blue water views and walking trails along the bluff are a convenient 2 blocks away.

Great Sea Ranch Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 enjoyed the home and were able to accomplish the relaxing getaway we planned. Very close access to the bluff trail which we walked daily. There were a couple of mechanical issues--the ceiling fan didn't work, which caused the heat from the gas fireplace to accumulate in the loft. Also, the washing machine was broken, but we didn't need that. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

Long March-April stay at Sandpiper Nest

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: I mainly chose this home due to its proximity to Walk-on beach. About a 5 minute walk which means we didn't have to pack into a car and get sand everywhere. The home is open with a very nice kitchen and a wind protected front deck where I did a lot of reading. The ocean view is decent and about what you expect from a meadow home. I generally stay in the north end of Sea Ranch close to the golf course and from this home it's only a couple of minutes drive away. No real complaints about the house except a spa would have been a nice addition.

One detraction was the hot water for showers was just above lukewarm. The water heater was behind lock and key so we were unable to see if it was left on a vacation setting.

Lighting is excellent and there are lots of outlets. The best part is that the owner has clearly made efforts to make this house user friendly and welcoming. A very nice attention to detail.

Second visit at Sandpiper Nest

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: My family returned to this home for the second time. I'm very familiar with the Sea Ranch area and we love this home for several reasons. It's a 3 minute walk to the bluff trail and walk-on beach is only a couple of more minutes walk so no climbing into the car with kids and sandy feet. The loft area upstairs is perfect for my grandkids and the two master suites are at separate ends of the house. The front deck is wind protected and has a decent ocean view. The kitchen is large and has most of the things one needs for in-home cooking. I hope to return again next year.
