House was clean and pretty much had everything we needed to cook meals. We brought our own storage containers and aluminum foil after reading other reviews. We would book again.

Lovely house with some nice views from the living room & loft. Kitchen is well equipped, grill works, everything was clean. Hot tub is large & works; though we wished it had a view towards the ocean instead of being walled in by wooden fence. Centralized forced air heating is dated but works. Couldn’t use the fireplace because no kindling/axe is provided. Also, the pile of firewood outside was not covered properly since the tarp had holes and at any rate was blown off during the rain storm. we like the fact that it is close to a trail and the ocean is not far away to walk to.
Hot tub was clean, hot, and well located. Kitchen was fairly well equipped- additional specific items like temporary Tupperware type storage containers, plastic wrap, and aluminum foil are BYO. House location was perfect for view and trail access.

It was great to have 3 separate bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The kitchen/eating area was very comfortable with a nice view.

Pros Kitchen has everything you need.There is a trail directly behind the house that leads to the bluffs nearby.The house was clean upon our arrival.Ocean view off back porch.Cons:Hot tub jets are super weak.The clothes dryer does not work.The master bed sags in the middle.The check in process was so co.bersome. having to take pictures of your ID then get authorization to send confirmation pictures of yourself. I had to almost beg via email to get check in instructions.The parking area in front of the house has very little rock. It appeared as someone had just mowed the entire area the day we arrived amd this made it nearly impossible not to track in loose grass even when lea ing shoes outsside the front door.
This was a gorgeous house in a perfect location. We loved every minute of our stay there. The hot tub was divine!

Loved the peace and quiet, view from kitchen, and the recliner. Super to be able to walk from the house to the trails along the ocean bluffs. Clean, comfortable home with great counter space in bathroom.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the peaceful setting, ocean bluff trails, and comfort of the home. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing stay.
Hot tub was warm enough. Kitchen could use more spices; there was only salt and pepper. It also needs aluminum foil and cling wrap for leftovers.

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at the Albatross House. The hot tub was nice, fire logs were provided, and it overall met our expectations. Sea Ranch is a love area and we'd love to return in the future!

We're so happy to hear that you and your friends enjoyed your stay at the Albatross House! It’s great that the hot tub and fire logs added to your experience, and we’d love to host you again whenever you return to Sea Ranch.
Everything was wonderful! Saw deer and foxs in yard is always a bonus at Sea Ranch. The hot tub was hot but we needed to add water and some jets don’t work. I also had little difficulty getting verified which was over looked by me. The host were excellent and walked me tru the process at last minute.

We’re so glad you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the wildlife and hot tub at Sea Ranch! Thank you for noting the jets and water. We’ll take a closer look at that. We appreciate your kind words about our hosting and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Great location near the trail. House is sited well. Best for quiet groups. Interior and front door are have a cozy 90s vibe in contrast to theexterior, but the house is well designed. Feels more authentic Sea Ranch than the mansions to the north.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, trail access, and authentic Sea Ranch feel. Your note about the cozy 90s vibe is appreciated. We love that the home offers a unique blend of comfort and character.
We had plenty of room and loved being well positioned for beach access, viewing the seals, and great walking paths. The hot tub was especially nice and private.
Our little family just needed a weekend away and this home was perfect. The hot tub was great and the highlight for our kids! The adults love the peaceful setting.
We come every summer to visit with friends who spend the summer in Sea Ranch. The property was perfectly located w beach and pool nearby. The hot tub was nice and we enjoyed our stay here!

Thank you for staying with us and for your review! We are so happy to hear your Grand Welcome Vacation experience and hope to host you again soon, either here or at one of our many locations across the country!
Overall a great place, ideal location near rec center and bluff trail. Two complaints: really uncomfortable bed and living room set up for TV watching but not for reading — only one reading light.
