Timeless beauty and Tranquility - A Sea Ranch Vacation We Will Never Forget

Decor and style of the home was wonderful. Exactly what my family and I love. Everything was clean and organized when we arrived. View was spectacular, even better than a pricier Sea Ranch home I stayed in that was closer to the water. Location was also better for my family and I, as it felt more private yet so easy to just walk to the beach. I really can’t think of anything to improve this wonderful home. I have read some other reviews saying the house is dated. I am not sure what they are talking about. The house has everything anyone could ever need for a relaxing vacation by the sea. The facilities are well kept, wifi incredibly fast, and water pressure is just wow! You are clearly shown pictures of the home’s “aesthetic” and it is decorated to take you back to a time where people don’t worry about checking your texts and instagram every minute. However, if you are the type to like a more modern/upscale/bougie style, you way want to try changing your vacation location. Sea Ranch connects you with nature and serenity, and this house is the epitome of that. Thank you for letting me and my family enjoy such an amazingly peaceful getaway here.

Great location in Sea Ranch!

The house was a little dated, but the location, scenery and deck looking out to the ocean completely made up for it! The beach was also only a short walk away. The check-in was super easy and it had all of the necessities stocked.

Nice View

Had a great two week stay and loved the view. Winter was tough as the power went out and there was no assistance from anyone. Vacasa was no help at all. The wood stove kept us warm but no help was given during three days of outage. Expected more when paying for the rental. If coming in winter, be prepared. Once power was back, the house is a nice rustic rental with a great view and access to the trails.

Beautiful views

This house has gorgeous views! Probably my favorite Sea Ranch house due to the proximity to trails and view of the water. I also found the house itself to be cozy and very clean. The only downside is that the beds are quite hard, so not good if you like softer beds.

Great dog-friendly house

We had an enjoyable stay at the Thayer house this week. As other reviewers have noted, some of the decor is a bit dated, but it's nicely appointed and in a great location. I appreciated being able to bring our dog along on our trip.

Beautiful Getaway!

Wonderful home in Sea Ranch! The neighborhood is a 10/10, the most beautiful coastal town I’ve ever been to. The balcony view from the house itself is worth every penny! The kitchen was well stocked and had all the appliances we needed. The decor inside was a little dated, including the deer heads mounted on the walls, so if I could change one thing it would be those. Otherwise a perfect spot!

Wonderful Sea Ranch getaway

Charming home for our family (4 adults, one small child, one infant). Very close walk to the ocean. Great trails for walking/running by the beach. Excellent access to the pool/recreation center close by, as well as to the Sea Ranch lodge for coffee/pastries. Very relaxing. Would highly recommend, and would love to stay here again.

This place was great in many ways. The view and close access to a beautiful beach was amazing. The house having a washer and dryer was a nice bonus. It would have been nice if the furniture was actually comfortable though. Also everything was very clean at waist level. However the floor and furniture had lots of hair from other guests which was a bit off putting. Definitely would stay here again though.

Great view

The house was clean, had everything a family of 4-6 might need. We were particularly happy with the wood burning stove because the power went out during the storm, and we were able to cuddle up near the fire, stay warm, and hang out. Plenty of room downstairs to fit 4-6 people, and a doggo, assuming you like the people you vacation with.

Perfect Spot

View is amazing. Full 180 degree shot of the ocean. Quick walk to beach. Love the back deck sitting area watching the sun set. Enjoyed the funky decorative vibe inside. Heat worked well. Shower head downstairs could easily be raised up and replaced. Also, an exhaust fan in downstairs bathroom would be nice as well.

Always a Pleasure

I've been staying in this house multiple times over the years since about 1977 when I was in high school. Always a pleasure. The deer that roam freely in the meadow always add to the trip, and if you walk through the meadow (that has unobstructed views of the coast) there's a small beach with easy access. The 2 Fish Bakery about 3 miles to the South is excellent, and there are a lot of options about 6 miles north in Gualala for dining (try Trink's for breakfast). The house is also located very near the small airport and the Sea Ranch Lodge for a night of fine dining or morning cafe and coffee. The morning fog is always nice, clean, and fresh, and at night if you crack the windows a little you can lay in bed and listen to the surf. Very relaxing, and highly recommended.

cozy retreat

We really enjoyed our stay.l The house is well located, ; with a fantastic view of the ocean and just a short walk to the beach. It's a nice house, well stocked kitchen for making meals. The showers are weird -- no real shower head; some of us liked the resulting strong spray but it's not for everyone. The only real complaint was the livingroom furniture was not all that comfortable. Still all in all, a great place.

Fabulous location, comfy home

Lovely location, away from public trails and with a gorgeous view. Easy access to the trails, Pebble beach and highway. House is quite dated. Lots of chachkies covered in dust and cobwebs. Both showers are just glorified garden hoses for someone under 5ft tall. Flashlights with dead batteries. Furniture and bed linens are as old as the house. But functional wood burning stove (wood provided, kindle is easy to gather all around) and central heat. Cable TV and Netflix. Plenty of kitchenware and other supplies. Washer and dryer. Beds are surprisingly comfortable, even if dated. The neighborhood is super quiet. Nights are super dark and silent except for the ocean, wind, and wild life. Super chill vibe. We had a very relaxing time.
