Our family of four was perfect for this house. It was clean, had a great view, the sky at night was mesmerizing. So many trails, beaches, pools/spas to choose from. The town of Gualala is magical. Wish we stayed longer.

This house needs attention.mblinds falling apart, inadequate equipment for fixing/serving meals.
Place felt neglected, dirty blankets, few amenities…1 role of paper towels, broken kitchen equipment, no kindling for the fire,torn furniture, only 3 beds, daughter had to sleep on sofa, deck has rusty old propane tank, and r The leak in the roof flooded the kitchen. For what you charge, shameful. I’ve come tomSea Ranch over 30myesrs, never had such a neglected home.

Escape from the heat
My husband and I stayed at the Albatross house for 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed every amenity the house offered. First, the house is located on the ocean side of State Route 1 where there are many walking trails for a morning walk. Secondly, the house is fully equipped; the kitchen is well stocked for those of you who prefer to eat dinner in while on vacation. Every morning, we enjoy our morning coffee on the patio and be spied upon by deer, sometimes mom and baby or other times, a group of bucks. Third, if you are a golfer, there are many courses…The Sea Ranch Links Course, Little River Golf (about an hour drive north) and Northwoods Golf Course down by Guerneville. Mendocino is just north of Little River; the quiet town is a perfect way to wander through art shops, boutiques, go wine tasting and have lunch. Also Point Arena, a former lighthouse, is also nearby. If you are not familiar with Highway 1, please note the road is winding, but the views are spectacular. Lastly, the hot tub is a splendid perk, a wonderful way to relax after a day of golf or sightseeing. We will certainly return to the Albatross house, especially to escape the valley heat!

Comfortable Sea Ranch House in Great Location
The house is perfect for a small family. We loved being able to walk to the rec center and to the headlands trail. The only downside was the house didn't have some basic cleaning supplies, such as all-purpose spray cleaner or extra dishwasher detergent. (We got one pod for the dishwasher for a 4 night stay.)

Good location…..but
The location of the house and the openness of the living space was great. You are next to walking path which is very convenient and we used it every day, even in the rain. We came from Bay Area and had to drive an extra 9 miles into town to retrieve the key and then back. This seemed a bit odd in this day and age where a lock box and code could avoid that inconvenience. For people driving that long windy road, 18 extra miles can be an added pain. No one wants to start their trip home adding 18 unnecessary miles on a windy road. The kitchen was very sparse and offered the bare essentials. Since we prepared all our meals in, this became apparent right away. The wood was not covered so we were not able to use it in the wood burning stove since we arrived in the rain. There was a leak in the roof that puddled on the dining table. Maintenance came and caulked the outside in the middle of the downpour. That was impressive but unfortunately it continued to leak. There was also a wet spot in the floor by the slider that grew as the rain increased. It appears there are some issues of water wicking under the floor. We all resorted to wearing shoes in the house to avoid it. I believe it could use attention. The hot tub was great.

Our Stay in Albatross House
My husband and I stayed at Albatross House for ten days and enjoyed the location and layout of this vacation home. However, we noticed that the steamer for cooking vegetables was broken, the toaster did not operate properly, and there was not enough light in the bedroom. This home needs some work.

Reconnecting at Sea Ranch
We were looking for a place to reconnect with the family that has been distanced for over an year. Sea Ranch is a great place for that. The house accommodated the five of us comfortably and the house seemed to have been cleaned before we got at the place. It is not convenient however, to have to go to Gualala to get the keys of the house, so I suggest that you place a box with a code at the property so we don't have to do the additional driving back and forth for just a key. There were no directions if the house would have sheets and towels and the agency never responded to our inquiring about it. I packet all of those and in the end we didn't need it because the house has these available for renters. So I suggest that you update the website with this type of info. We were prepared to do a barbecue with the food that we took with u, but the gas grill had not been maintained, and not only was very dirty, the gas was empty. I contacted the agency but because we only noticed it in the afternoon, I ended up having to cook everything at the oven. Another issue was with the fire place, it had a lot of logs to be used, and the house has instructions for using the fire place, but there were no matches. There were already comments about this from previous people renting the house but it remained not provided. The Sea Ranch condominium has a swimming pool and tennis courts but due to covid only the people that lives in there, were authorized to use these facilities. That was a little estrange. My daughters wanted to play tennis but because of these Covid regulations on the condominium, they didn't allow them to use the courts. There were simply nobody at the courts and they not only were full vaccinated, it made us wonder to who they would be actually passing covid to? We had passes to use the facilities with us that the agency provided with the package, and using a open court goes with the level of openness of the County, but they remained unacessible to them. Anyway, we had fun to be together and at Sea Ranch, which is a beautiful place. Not sure if I would go back though.

Poorly prepared for renters
House is very old, shabby and missing many items including any hangars, matches for fireplace, no central heating, badly rusted outdoor furniture, outdoor garbage not secured, poorly placement of living room furniture, stove and microwave controls broken. Management company in LA and no local team available and completely non-responsive. We would never recommend this poorly maintained property!

Sea Ranch
Our family of five fit into this house well. We noticed a few stains on the couch which we notified the rental company about and they said they would take care of it. Otherwise the house was a great location near beaches and right on the walking path. There is a wooden picnic table in deck area that we enjoyed a card game or two.

a nice cottage by the sea.. very quiet
We came to sea ranch for the sea and the air (avoiding the hot and smoky bay area). The area was a great tonic. A nice cottage with most everything that we needed, a little dated. TH owners could provide a better guide to the electronics.. tough to navigate 4 remotes for each TV. But they had fast internet and streaming and that was nice some issues. the local town Gualala, is largely shut down especially during the week. A few shops are open, and the restaurants offer few on site dining options, mostly take out... too cold to sit outside. Another issue was that VRBO guests cannot use the pools at the rec centers, only residents can. This should be communicated to future guests

Perfect family home in a beautiful location. Lovely little beach in walking distance (2 minutes). Main Sea Ranch trail is directly behind the house and met many walkers while relaxing on the deck. Hot tub is private and house had everything a family needs in a beach house; extra linens, barstools, sand toys, BBQ, fireplace, games, puzzles. Perfect family beach house!

Great location
Found this property at short notice for a stay over the Christmas holiday. Wonderful location right on the bluff trail, with long walks possible out the door. Furniture and fittings are dated, and could do with upgrading. Towels very nice, sheets not so much - they were old and worn. Two full bathrooms on the main floor and another in the loft was nice. Kitchen fairly well equipped but many of the pots have seen better days. Loved the hot tub under the stars.
