We enjoyed this spot as much as any homes we’ve rented in Sea Ranch.
Pros to the home:
Very close to Shell Beach (like less than a five min walk)
Hot tub clean , well-positioned for tree and ocean views, and in good shape
Dogs allowed
Nice light and comfy beds
Fridge and cabinets stocked with a few basic essentials like spices and salad dressings
Property felt even more private than a lot do
Some nice artwork and lamps and things, which I always appreciate
Fenced in backyard felt pleasant and safe
Mostly liked floor plan
Check-in totally seamless and owner even generously offered to let us come early
Fun ping pong table in garage
Cons
Didn’t like learning that we were supposed to keep our dog downstairs only (very tough and maybe impossible in some cases)
Carpeting seemed reasonably clean but is less ideal for dirt and allergies, esp. in places with pets
Property looks like it hasn’t been updated much; some 1970’s vibes and old plumbing (but to be fair that is not infrequently true of area rentals)
Upstairs is rather cold as the listing indicates, but space heaters are provided
We prefer not being asked to strip beds, take out trash, wash towels, etc. as we struggle to depart when we are paying these prices, but at the same time, it’s not uncommon and we get how much it helps
