Ano incredible view, easy access to the trails, and just a wonderful stay overall. The house was ideal, when we had a few questions, they were answered immediately, and I could not recommend the rental more.
Great stay with my kids and our dogs. Will return in the future.

Reviewer Comments:
Available TV: News, weather, movies. Cannot search or record programs unless you already know how from years of experience renting at Sea Ranch (73 times); not in the instructions. Giants fans out of luck, unavailable. Step down in master bedroom is an accident waiting to happen, if it already hasn't. Not recommended for older people with balance problems. A lot of thought went into this house by the owners, thanks.
