IMPORTANT NOTES: The association is notoriously strict and with apologies, please know these are not our rules but we must abide. They limits cars to three. They limit car passes to two, which means you can park int he driveway no problem but if you park elsewhere on the street one of the two passes provided to you must be in your window, These passes also get you into the pools. However the limit the number of people admitted into the pool to 6, even between the two passes. So you may have to but day passes for pool users beyond 6. Passes are $5 per person.

While we love pets, we ask that you leave your feline friends at home. We have a severe cat allergy in the family. VRBO doesn't have a place to express that directly but we please ask that you respect that request.

Thanksgiving Heaven

Our group had a wonderful stay at Sea Ranch-- Holiday House was the perfect spot and location. There were 8 of us comfortably housed there-- we could have easily had a couple more-- and when those in our other house came down for Thanksgiving Dinner or other meals--making 13-- the house was ideal. Not jammed in the least. Close to the beach/hikes/tide pools-- a simply wonderful time for Thanksgiving Weekend. We will want to return.

Great family Getaway

We had a wonderful time at the Holiday House. The set-up was perfect for our family, enough bedrooms and loft areas for everyone to have a private area. The hot tub was awesome. Nice that there was a TV service. The location felt very private, yet close enough to walk to Shell Beach, which we did several times. We are foodies, so have an Instapot, Crockpot, and KitchenAid mixer in the kitchen was nice. We hope to stay at this house again.

We just finished a wonderful stay at holiday house. We had plenty of room for our 8 adults to sleep comfortably, play games, hot tub,and just hang out. The kitchen and house was very well equiped and the host was extremely responsive when we had a question. As a family who does lots of rentals, this was one of our best experiences ever on these two points. (Thank you Erin for helping our stay to be great!)We loved walking to the close little beaches - tidepool beach was closed through labor day because baby seals were down there, and it was so fun to watch them play and flip around. Would like to come back sometime when we could explore these tidepools. Tip- in the downstairs pink and upstairs bedrooms, we noticed that it was better to crack side windows than those that face west. During the night a pretty strong wind came up and rattles the doors if you have west facing windows open.(All photos from Sea Ranch paths and beaches)

What a lovely place!

We are 3 adults w/ no kids. Obviously we did not need a place this big. But it was nice to spread out & not all be in 1 room. The place is kinda funky. But we loved it. 4 min walk to the bluffs. Hot tub worked great. Grill was nice to have. There is washer & dryer on site which is also nice. Deer walking around Sea Ranch. It's so nice & quiet. Tons of stars when we were there. We had an excellent time. Hope to go back again.

Great location, nice sized place

Overall, this was a nice property for a larger group. It was a little hard to get a sense of exactly how the spaces were divided from the photos and ideally 5 separate bdrms would have been perfect but we made it work. The location is excellent - in the middle of Sea Ranch so easy to go north or south to explore and 5 minutes to the beach. The place is very minimalistic (not a lot of extra stuff like sheets and towels) but most of everything we absolutely needed was there. We went to celebrate my birthday and the communal space was cozy and comfortable. Hot tub was fantastic! All in all, great stay!

Great, large house close to trails

Great large house for families or friends, we stayed for 7 nights and split up the trip between family and friends coming up to stay. The house is quite big and the converted garage makes a great playroom for younger kids or separate space for teens. The kitchen is very well equipped including a crockpot, instapot and waffle maker. The hot tub is huge and works well, the bbq was great, only issue was the rain as we got soaked while using it but still worked well. The beds were comfy, no issue with hot water, there was a washer & dryer which was also good due to all the rain. Overall very well equipped house, really the only thing that it did not have was flashlights/lanterns for when the power went out.

Friend Reunion

I booked this house in Sea Ranch for a reunion getaway with my two best friends from college and their families. We had 6 adults and 6 kids. Each couple had their own king size bed bedroom (What a gem!) and the kids had two options for a bedroom/loft. We especially loved that there were no beds in the common area. This allowed the kids to be put to bed and the grownups to stay up and play! We loved the hot tub and the very short walk down to the tide pool/beach area. Gualala is a short drive north with cute cafes and a couple small markets. The kitchen was well appointed and had just about everything we needed. This Holiday House was just so lovely. Would stay here again with friends or just our small family due to location.

Tastefully decorated throughout with a unique desk in master bedroom apparently fashioned from a small metal airplane wing, rivets and all. The hot tub is huge, warm and private.

The Holiday House was a wonderful place that met our needs for a family reunion; it was one of 3 houses we rented and this one was the house we met the most. It was spacious common rooms, the outdoor porch with BBQ, the hot tub that was hot and enjoyable for all. The backroom next to the kitchen was perfect to place one young family with 3 kids. Ideal for short and long walks along with coastline. Thank you.

Great location, large house, all good

We have been going to The Sea Ranch for 25 years. We've tried a lot of houses. This one is in the upper tier. The listing is accurate. We had 9 people and all was smooth. The layout is a tad non-standard, but it actually creates separate spaces for people. An additional bathroom would have been great, but we made it work. Beds were very comfortable other than the mattress in the bedroom off the kitchen (very hard).Kitchen was amazingly well stocked. High end appliances. Good layout, enough room to work.Living/dining space was very large and the window seats were enjoyed by all.Heating was excellent.Hot tub worked beautifully and was huge. Location is excellent, close to the bluff trail.Communication with the host was quick and helpful. We hope to rent this place again!

Great experience.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at The Holiday House at Sea Ranch. We had our two grown children and their families with a 9, 6, 4 and 10 month old and two long time family friends. Everyone except the baby easily walked to Shell Beach along the Bluff Trail. The kitchen had everything you could ever need: Kitchen Aid mixer, two sets of dishes and lots of glasses and mugs. The living/dining area has several couches and sitting areas. The sunset from the upstairs bedroom was spectacular. And we were able to see the comet both nights we were there.
