We really had a nice time during our stay. House was clean and comfy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the bbq, and the fireplace. Great location, easy walk down to shell beach.
The overall location of this property is fair. It's not too far a walk to the Bluff Trail and beaches. However, it backs up to Hwy 1 and therefore has considerable road noise. As for the property itself, it is in very poor condition, was quite dirty and dusty when we arrived, and is in dire need of a paint job on the interior. The appliances barely work and are essentially worn out. The central heating system overheats some rooms and doesn't hardly heat other rooms. The dining and living room furniture is completely worn out and terribly uncomfortable. The filter on the return air register for the heating system was disgustingly filthy. We had to have maintenance come change it. The filters on the vent hood over the range were so dirty, grease dripped out of them when you boiled water on the stove. We had to clean those ourselves. Almost all the under cabinet lights in the kitchen are burnt out and have not been replaced. So the kitchen is very dark and difficult to cook in. When we arrived, the outdoor gas grill was not operable. The only positive I can provide is that the maintenance guy who came out to deal with some of the fixable problems was very responsive and a great guy. But overall, I would suggest finding someplace else to rent.
This property was perfect for our family of 4. I had a work trip and decided to bring along my family to explore the area. My husband enjoyed the beautiful ocean views while he also got work done, and my kids enjoyed the hot tub, and games that were provided. We appreciated the thoughtful snacks left for us (and waters) after driving for 12 hours! The only minor detail that I would recommend is having a lock box or keypad system for entry. We utilized the trip into town for groceries so it wasn't a huge deal, but just a recommendation. Thanks for a great stay! We will definitely be back! xo
This home needs some TLC. The blinds, lamp fixtures, toilet paper holder, general maintenance from a handyman or woman is needed to tighten up fixtures and make simple repairs. The blinds need replacing.
There is so much that is wonderful about this property! The large windows with partial views of the ocean and the surrounding area are fantastic, the beds were comfortable, the hot tub so amazing and relaxing, the ocean just a short walk, and a sizable tv for watching movies on a large couch that fit all six of us!
There was a snafu with the washing machine overflowing. However, the property manager made it up to us with a discount on cleaning fees.
Overall, a great place to stay!
Pros: location. Great access to beach and playground down the road. Large house with open floor plan.
Cons: House poorly maintained. Walls are scratched up, tiles dirty, carpet and upholstery stained. Thin pillows and bed linens. Under the beds and couch were dust balls and random items from prior renters so it obviously hadn't been cleaned. Trash bins outside were full and smelly.
We rented this house at the last minute for the holidays so there was no other option. It sufficed simply because of the location. This house has great potential but they're is no effort to make it more than minimal standards for guests.
Weâve vacationed at The Sea Ranch for over 20 years so we know generally what to expect. Both this property and management company were disappointing. The bedding was much lower quality than anything youâd expect to see at this price. The pillowcases in the master bedroom were way too small and covered little more than half of each pillow. Not sure what they were thinking, but we ultimately drove to the rental office to ask for replacements that fit. They had none and blamed covid (?), so they gave us more smaller pillow cases to compensate. The mattress in the master bedroom has an uncomfortable sag on one side. This is clearly an investment rental, so no personal touches youâd see from owners who spend any time in the house. The walls and blinds are heavily worn. The smoke detector goes off with every meal, and is completely out of reach. Finally, the house design makes poor use of the wonderful nature just outside the front door. No ocean-facing outdoor area like most Sea Ranch properties. Overall, the quality of lodging was not worth the price (and extra fees). A letdown compared to normally outstanding Sea Ranch homes.
It would be nice to have a keypad entry so we didn't have to drive to town for the key. Knives need sharpening. The large couch in the living area is super comfortable. My dog escaped from the back yard twice, and the fence could be higher for privacy getting in and out of the hot tub. Overall, a delightful stay in a beautiful location!
I loved the large sectional sofa and the open floor plan. We walked our dog to the beach everyday. Peaceful and relaxing. A safe getaway during Covid times. It's a pain to have to pick up and drop off the key in Gualala, otherwise everything was great.
The window by the laundry room leaks, washing machine leaks and it was not even Half full, there are NO mixing bowls, can opener does not work. Maybe open something up storage for renters to store dry goods, food, add blankets to the closets.
House good other than these few items, I would rent it again and come better prepared.
Thank you
House smelled musty when we first walked in . Called property mgmt and they no offer and solution. Had to buy candles to make the house smell better. Location to the ocean was abou tv
This property does not live up to what we expect at Sea Ranch.
Unlike the photos in the listing the exterior is overgrown with weeds. The photo of the little fenced yard where the hottub is shows fresh redwood bark but what we got was a tall weed patch. The amenities were less than the bare minimum. Not even a single filter for the coffee maker. ( We left some for the next guest) There is no cable/satellite tv even though the brokers website, Grand Welcome has it checked as an amenity. The garbage cans were overflowing when we arrived and it was obvious that animals had burrowed into the enclosure. While the living room and master bedroom have large windows facing the ocean if you don't keep the blinds closed the afternoon sun heats the rooms beyond comfort. Only a few of the windows open to catch the breeze, and without AC or ceiling fans it was difficult to cool down the house . The morning after check in I purchased a pair of box fans at the local ACE hardware. (We left them for the next guest). I could go on but I think I've made my point.
We have enjoyed numerous homes at Sea Ranch but unfortunately Pacific Spender falls short.
We enjoyed our stay here. Check in after hours was easy. The kitchen was very well-appointed, with all the things we needed to cook. The location with access to the walking trail was great. Our dog was at ease. We got the correct wifi code off the back of the router as the instructions had a couple letters wrong, so no hitches there. A nice, relaxing time overall.
The house is very well maintained. It has excellent lighting and views of the ocean. The kitchen is stocked very well with dishes and pots/pans/cooking utensils. The internet connection worked great. Spa was fun and very well maintained. Easy to work fireplace and TV/DVD. Would stay here again!
