One of the best equip kitchens I have seen in a vacation rental. House is charming. Beds are good. Location is great!. Cute beach at the end of the street.
Nice house, deer in the meadow every morning. Enjoyed going to sleep to the sounds of the ocean. We would stay there again. Had a great time.

We’ve been going to Sea Ranch for over 40 years and always rent through Beach Rentals because they are friendly, knowledgable and there when you need them. When we had trouble with the TV they sent someone over right away. We love Lupine house because it’s small but comfortable, efficient, full of light, close to our favorite beaches and walks.
Thank you for your review Darren, we are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us on The Sea Ranch. We hope to see you again soon!

We had a great time at the Lupine house! With a two minute walk down to the beach or to the playground or to see the seals- this house is ideal! :)

We come to Sea Ranch every year - it is such a magical, peaceful place to take in the ocean and the views. This is the second year in a row that we've stayed at Lupine. It is clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. It has great views and we love the hot tub.
The house is clean, convenient, and comfortable. It will not suit those with ostentatious tastes. It is a well-maintained example of the original Sea Ranch philosophy; thoughtfully designed, a little spartan, inexpensive materials used in a innovative way. It still feels truly mid-century modern.

I really don't like reviewing our stays at Sea Ranch because I wish no one else ever went there! We want it all to ourselves. Actually, it always feels like we have it to ourselves and it's so beautiful and peaceful. The Lupine house is very comfortable and well appointed. We stay there once a year - this year was our 5th time staying at Lupine. Sea Ranch is totally magical and Beach Rentals is a lovely company with friendly and helpful staff!

Hi--- We enjoyed our stay very much although we were very disappointed that again we were not able to access the deck because of a faulty lock set on the access door. If this is not remedied we would reconsider our choosing to stay in this house again. Other than for this issue we were generally happy about our experience.Last year ,I remember,there was a compensation for the loss of use of the deck area. Perhaps this could be considered also for this year.Best,Ron Heglin
Response from VrboOwner on 5 July 2024
Thank you for letting us know about the problems you had with the lock to the door to the deck. We are sorry that you had the same problem this year with the same lock. It was repaired last year and yes, we are repairing it now with a new lock. Compensation has been given again. Hope you visit with us next year with a new lock installed.
Best Regards,
Beach Rentals and Homeowner

We had an amazing stay at this property. As you enter the house you are greeted with beautiful meadow and partial ocean views. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck every morning and a sky full of stars from the hot tub at night. We took advantage of the many trails around Sea Ranch as well. Very quiet and private and a great place to relax and get away from it all!

We have rented a number of properties from Beach Rentals. They do a splendid job of guiding us to stay in properties that meet our needs. This one was very close to the trail near the ocean and we enjoyed the walks north and south of our location. Very serene experience. Hot tub was terrific too!
This property is more of a budget option for the area, but a good one. The bones are wonderful, the decor/ furniture does not entirely match the era of the development of the sea ranch which is a disappointment, but it is cozy and will provide all that one might need. The space was clean and overall a great place for a family vacation.
