About this property

Shell Beach Retreat | 5 mins to Beach & Bluff Trail, w/ Hot Tub!

Welcome to Shell Beach Retreat, a beautiful three bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home that overlooks a tranquil natural meadow landscape and a lovely blue water view from all rooms in the main house. The home is a five-minute walk to the bluff trail and Shell Beach as well as close to both recreation centers. Breathe in the wonderful ocean and meadow air and recharge yourselves (and your car---see below!) from the hectic life of the city. If you’re bringing the kids, it is literally minutes to One-eyed Jacks, the only kid’s playground in Sea Ranch.

Enter the lovely enclosed garden with ferns and flowering plants. Far from any road noise, you’ll be struck by a sense of absolute peace and quiet. A private detached bedroom with a separate entrance and with half bath awaits you in the garden.

When you walk in the front door you’ll find two lovely bedroom suites each with it’s own private deck facing the ocean as well as ensuite bathrooms. Head upstairs to a warm and inviting great room with vaulted ceilings and an expansive view of the meadows and ocean beyond. Step out the living room sliding door, and find yourself on the main deck, looking out at the view, where you can prepare your BBQ menu, and enjoy meals in the salty invigorating air. Shell Beach Retreat is situated in a particularly wind sheltered spot aided by hedgerows on both sides of the meadow that help to buffer the decks and hot tub.

The kitchen and dining area are flooded with light and the dining table looks out at the stunning ocean view through large picture windows. In the early morning or evenings, you will probably see rabbits, mother deer and fawns, and if you’re lucky, our local red fox. The living room features cedar paneling, and is appointed with a large Smart TV, a wood burning stove, and comfortable seating for guests. The open kitchen is amply stocked with everything you’ll need to whip up your favorite dishes.

The decor in the house has been tastefully chosen to reflect soothing colors and fabrics including rich woods such as cherry, alder, douglas fir. All of the decks are outfitted with tables and chairs. The walls are decorated with wonderful photographs of Sea Ranch and the Western Coast.

You will find that the beds in all of the rooms are extremely comfortable and will afford you a restful night’s sleep. This house highlights privacy with almost every window in the home protected from visibility by our few neighbors. Soothe yourself in the hot tub, in the garden with your cup of coffee, or at night with a glass of wine gazing at the amazing night sky. If you need to get work done while away, the house has fiber optic cable for WiFi with good coverage in all rooms, as well as desks and desk chairs in two of the bedrooms.

Features:
• Fiber-optic cable for WiFi, with good coverage in all rooms
• Level 2 charger for electric vehicles ----charging is free with no add-on cost
• Parking for 2 cars in the protected spaces in front of the house (no garage access)
• Parking passes will be provided - The passes also include access to the pool, tennis courts, and all recreation centers
• Extra firewood stored outside
• Primary bedroom suite: queen bed, night-tables, lamps, armoire or closet, dresser, TV, desk and desk chair, private deck and outdoor seating, ensuite bathroom
• Bedroom 2: queen bed, night-tables, lamps, private deck and outdoor seating, ensuite bathroom
• Detached bedroom in garden: queen bed, night-tables, bed lamps, desk, half bath ,desk and desk chair

Perfect oasis
We spent four days in Sea Ranch watching wildlife from the kitchen windows, playing records on the record player, and stoking a fire each night. The short walk down to the beach was perfect during the mornings. There was a small issue with the hot tub but the property managers quickly responded and we got it working. We'd definitely stay there again!

Beautiful house, perfect location, thoughtful extras
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow! What a gorgeous home. There is something really special about the spaciousness and light throughout, especially in main living areas and the stunning master bedroom, with ocean and meadow views in 3 directions. You can watch the sunset and soak in moonlight through the skylight all at the same time. The cedar woodwork on the floors, walls, and vaulted ceilings is both elegant and homey. Several different decks face the ocean; beautiful spots for a meal or stretching out with a book.The kitchen has new appliances, every gadget you might need, and great cast iron and stainless steel pots and pans. The living room furniture is tasteful and comfortable. The bedrooms are all spacious and private. The third bedroom is detached from the main house, perfect if someone in the party wants their own space. The beds are super comfortable — top notch mattresses, with gorgeous linens.There are lovely extras, including an LP player and vinyl records, along with DVDs and high speed wifi and jigsaw puzzles and books. I was thrilled to find an electric car charger, which the hosts graciously have made available to guests. The large hot tub is nestled in a sweet spot in the back garden, busy with hummingbirds and warblers.The location of the house couldn’t be better. It’s in a beautiful open meadow, a 5 minute walk to the Seal Rookery, where we saw seals at all times of the day. From there, you can walk north to Tide Pool Beach and Walk On Beach, and on to the Del Mar Landing Reserve, where again, there are seals and so many birds to watch. Walking south is also gorgeous; we saw hawks and all kinds of sea birds every day, and one day, we saw a couple of foxes! The house is just a few hundred yards from the only playground In Sea Ranch, and not far from a couple of the recreation centers.We have stayed in a number of homes at Sea Ranch. This is one of the best-located, spacious and light-filled, and best-cared

Great location in Sea Ranch with beautiful ocean view
Great property in a very nice location. The wind is not an issue in this area of Sea Ranch thanks to the large trees surrounding the property. Walking distance to Shell beach is a plus. The cookware was plentiful, we had no problems preparing all of our favorite dishes. The Weber grill is brand new (always a plus to have a nice functioning grill). Can’t wait to come back here.
