We loved the place- 1970’s vibes especially. The nearby Shell Beach was perfect for us. Dinner at the Lodge was excellent. Everything aesthetically pleasing , as one expects from the Sea Ranch.
All the cousins loved staying together in the bunk room!

The staff were so helpful and easy to work with. The house has a great kitchen, stocked with every tool you need for preparing great meals. Five minute walk to the beach!
This is a stunning house in typical Sea Ranch style with great sea views and located in a beautiful neighborhood. It has an authentic, warm atmosphere, lots of daylight and a wonderful gathering space. Linen and towels are not normally included but can be added for a fee. Check-in is normally at the rental office in nearby Gualala, but they were kind enough to bring the packet to the site on our day of arrival. Very friendly communication, highly recommended.

As others have said, this home is in a great location, just a brief stroll to the beach and seal pupping area. The rooms are very comfortable and the kitchen has all the basics and more. Loved the 70s vibe! Living room is super. It's time to replace the carpet though, please.
We had a wonderful stay and would rent this property again. It's a bit dated, but still quite lovely. The location can NOT be beat. Everything you need to enjoy Sea Ranch is at the house. It's obviously a well loved old family vacation home. My only recommendation is to definitely bring your own towels if you can. The towel service is skimpy. But the beds are super comfy and the toilet paper was oddly lush!

We had a wonderful stay at Quail View. The arrangement of the rooms was perfect for our group (two couples plus kids and a dog), and we appreciated that a lot of the house seemed to be original (cabinets, fireplace, window seats), the family photos, and the updated kitchen appliances. The house is also in a really nice, central location.

We have stayed here a few times and really enjoyed the house. Love the fireplace and plenty of room for large family. Kitchen is on the smaller side, but completely workable. Also nice that you have access to two car garage to park and to store excess things while staying there. One of the best features is the location. So near to Shell Beach, tide pools (now closed so just an overlook) and only 5 minutes to town. Enjoy!!

This was our third stay at this house! It's a perfect place for my wife and I, our 3 kids (aged between 4-9) and my parents! Plenty of room, and the perfect location. 5 minute (or less) walk to the beach AND to the playground. The house itself was great as usual. We used the fireplace for the first time and it was an added bonus! If you're a family looking for a great vacation home in an even better location, this is it!

Reviewer Comments:
I have rented many different homes at Sea Ranch in the past for different types of trips (biking, golf, diving). Trips with my wife and daughter always include our three e-bikes to ride the connected roads that only run through the northern half of Sea Ranch. This home is right in the middle of that stretch of homes/roadway, and it is walking distance to Shell Beach. A big plus for us when we bring our bikes is the included access to the two-car garage for easy bike storage during our stay. Not having a hot tub would prevent me from choosing this home for a dive trip stay at Sea Ranch during the colder/wetter winter months.

Overall, the house was was comfortable and very nicely built. Our bed was comfortable, the kitchen had what we needed, and the appliances all worked. The window seats and pillows were placed lovely, but could have been cleaner, as there were stains on both and bugs on the window sills and seats. There was very little storage space for our items, as we stayed for two weeks. I'd recommend having more guest storage in the kitchen cupboards. The garage door was very difficult for me to open and close, as it was heavy and too high for me to reach without standing on a chair. Beach Rentals staff were very accommodating, professional, and pleasant. I would recommend them again for sure!

We have stayed in this home a few times now and have enjoyed our stay ever time. Love the location right above shell beach and around the corner from One Eye’d Jacks playground. Did not interact with rental company during our stay as no issues arose. We did request extra sheets just days before our arrival and they had every set up before we arrived. Also, this house has a beautiful 360° glass fireplace in the center of the living room. We requested that the glass be cleaned before our arrival since this is a dramatic focal point of the house. The rental company commented at our arrival that they confirmed that cleaners took care of it, and it looked great! Only draw back (and really not a big deal) is that the kitchen is on the “cozier” side. But it is totally functional. And the dishwasher is a little difficult to get started but we finally succeeded. House was clean and orderly. A few cobwebs high up around the windows but typical of most houses at Sea Ranch. We used the SR dog park and liked it very much. Thanks!

Reviewer Comments:
This rental home is very dated with a wood-burning stove taking up a large portion of the living area and which leaked during our very rainy week. There is one chair and some window seats but no other furniture in the living area. There is no fenced area for your pet. The beds in the bunk bedroom are old and provide no support. It is is a good location, though, near Shell Beach and Walk On Beach. The owners should consider updating the home. We will avoid this rental in the future.
