One of the best!

As the architect for the house I am, of course a bit prejudiced, but of all the houses I have ever designed this one is right at the top of the list as a favorite. The house, now 50 years old, has stood the test of time.

Great View and Location

We had a great stay at rolling waves. It was our second time staying there and it was super easy to book, check in and check out. The floor in the living space changed from the last time we were there from carpet to polished concrete, which was easy to clean and warm from the in floor heating. We will be back to enjoy more of the incredible view from the living room and hot tub!

We’d rebook in a second. And we will.

The house was incredibly well appointed. I’m a cook so renting homes can be hit or miss. Total hit! Had it all. Everything was clean and comfortable for our reunion with our grown children. Provided space for everyone to be together and alone when desired. Hot tub was perfection.

The is lovely and beautiful decorated. The views and location are perfect but the cleaning crew did not do a good job. Unfortunately the garage outside was over flowing and there was a few other items which should have been addressed.

Beautiful, comfortable home with great views

Spacious and comfortable. Beautiful whitewater views and easy trail access. Lots of room to roam with wind-sheltered deck and hot tub. Kitchen is a little tight and the oven and range are not super responsive to temp changes so plan meals accordingly. No ice maker and no ice trays in the freezer(?) We had to buy ice. Otherwise a well-stocked kitchen. Beautiful fireplace and lots of firewood available. Home is nicely tucked away behind other homes so feels very private.

Great location

Pros: House Layout, Location, proximity to trail, easy trip to grocery store. Stunning ocean view from living room with wildlife walking by. Cons: at the per night, by the time you ad on ‘Fees’ , ‘Service Fee’ and Tax , your nightly rate is greatly increased. I had read the Reviews about the house needing updating: bathroom faucets are installed backwards, windows that are not operable and will not open, broken and non-functional vertical blinds, etc. A review from July 2021 mentioned these things and upon further reading, I saw that on Sept 2019, a full two years ago, another renter brought up all these same issues with this response: Host’s response: Hi, Veronica! Thank you for leaving your review with us. The owners were the next occupants after your stay, and they inspected and took care of everything from your comments. We look forward to seeing you again! Here is my ‘Visitor Response’: NONE OF THE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. For this price range per night, this rental is definitely sub-par. Patio furniture is poor quality, plastic stackable variety. Broken toilet tank lid in bathroom upstairs, sliding door on shower does not slide so you have to shimmy around the toilet to get in. Window blind facing the walking trail is broken so you cannot close it in the upstairs bedroom. Assuming that this house had the necessary repairs 2 years ago as stated, I rented it, and was willing to pay the high nightly rate for a special occasion celebration with family. Owners need to truthfully state the condition of the property and/or reduce the price while the repairs are being made. With a check in time of 4pm, and a check out time of 10am, you are losing a lot of time at the resort; again, not worth the nightly rate. We have rented dozens of VRBO properties all over the world and this property was NOT accurately presented in the listing. Very disappointed in the property management company representing this property.

Wonderful Location

The location of this home can't be beat -- it's private but also right near the bluff trail and beach, and central on the ranch. The home itself is beautiful architecturally but needs some updating. The windows are non-functional, the heating upstairs didn't work, and the kitchen isn't super well provisioned with cooking implements, etc. Just a bit dated and you can tell it's a rental, but it's spacious, and has rustic charm with a wonderful location.

Gorgeous home, great location

This house is truly one of the best we've rented in Sea Ranch in over 15 years of coming every summer. Having a home office was really helpful for our group, as we were in the house for 2 weeks and needed to dial into the occasional meeting and keep up with our offices. Both of the larger bedrooms are extremely comfortable and well appointed, and the beds were really comfy. I would note though that the small bedroom on the ground floor is *really* small. It would be very tight for adults to share, and there's almost no spot to put personal belongings. Luckily we had kids in that room so we made it work. There are loads of great books to borrow, and my kids played the house chess game almost nonstop. The home could use some basic maintenance on windows, blinds, appliances. We were unable to open the big windows in the dining/living room as the handles are not functional, and the blinds were also in need of repair. As mentioned in other reviews, all the bathroom faucets are installed backwards, and at least the shower upstairs has hot and cold mismarked. I reported these issues to the local Vacasa staff and they were very responsive and helpful. Overall a big thumbs up and would have been completely perfect with some fairly straightforward repairs.

Great location, very close to Walk-On Beach. House was very clean and comfortable. Lighting a little dim and bathrooms could use an update, but overall a great house.

Nice house, but COLD

The house and the view were amazing. We loved the design of the home, and would probably return for the view alone. However, the first night of our stay was quite unpleasant due to how cold the house was. The home is heated by in-floor radiant heat, which we learned takes quite some time to heat the home up. Despite running the heat over night, the house was still cold in the morning, and the temperature had only dropped! Eventually, after the sun came up on day 2, the home did warm up and stayed reasonably warm. But we were cold for the entire first night. There is a fireplace, but there were no instructions on using it (operating the flue, where to find kindling and firewood, etc). Someone from Vacasa was kind enough to bring us over a supplemental space heater, but overall we were still disappointed and confused about how/why the house was so cold when we arrived and why no information was provided about the heating system/fire.

wonderful week by the sea

During this crazy Covid time, this house was a perfect place to get away with my family and unwind. We loved the expansive livingroom with the ocean view and the stargazing on the clear nights. The house is well appointed and the hot tub was much appreciated. The entrance gate was a bit tricky and difficult to open especially for my elderly mom. Otherwise, only high praise for Rolling Waves!

Great location and home

We have rented this home 3 times already, and will continue to do so! It's a great location, and the layout of the home is ideal for 2 couples. There are 2 separate "master" suites (bedroom with their own bathroom), which is rare in a SR property, and hence why we continue to rent here. The living area is great, with lovely views of the water. The public path is far enough away that you don't have people walking in front of the home all the time. It's close to the beach. We get deer, bunnies, and quails randomly in the yard (yay!). It's peaceful and quiet, just what we want from this. The cons are that there are some things that need repairing. The windows do not work, and when the sun is hot, you want the airflow - but they're not slider windows, they're the kind that push out (why they did this I have no idea) and so with the crazy wind, it seems like they're going to be ripped off or ram back into the house, so it doesn't feel safe to open them (the center one is really the only one "openable", but it's broken; the other two are right behind the vertical blinds so when open, the blinds go nuts and slap/slam constantly). A couple of the sliding doors are not really functional, either, and screens are missing. The whole place could do with some basic updating (the faucets are all backwards, too). That said, it is clean and the location is incredible! The hot tub has a nice view of the night sky and of the ocean, and is clean and well maintained. We are definitely going to continue renting this place!

A wonderful week next to the ocean

Beautiful house close to the bluffs of Sea Ranch. Nothing like spending the week with friends, watching the sun set from the hot tub, falling asleep to the sound of surf crashing on the beach below, then waking up for a morning walk to Trinks in Gualala.
