This was our fifth visit to Sea Ranch, and this property was one of the absolute best places for our stay that we have experienced. Perfect location for listening to and watching the ocean waves to hit the rocks and shore, and for walks along the Bluff Trail. The house was well equipped with all that you will need for your visit, and in perfect condition. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Jasmine’s home is lovely; spacious with large windows overlooking the cliffs and ocean, comfortable couches in the comunal areas and bedrooms that make it easy to sleep in late if you choose. Walking either way down the ocean path is a pleasure, and we saw seals, deer, and lots of birdlife. The kitchen is extremely well stocked for a rental, making it easy to cook in if that’s what you choose to do.

This house was exactly what I needed to relax, unwind and recharge. The views can't be beat, and the bluff trail is just a few steps from the back deck. What I most appreciated was how comfortable and homey the house felt. Bedding and blankets were extremely comfortable, and basics are provided. Some rentals feel scrubbed and sterile - not this one! This house feels welcoming. I hope to return with my daughter and husband.

The home is so comfortable, featuring luxurious and tasteful furnishings with all amenities. The thoughtful design well reflects that of the amazing planners and stewards of The Sea Ranch.
