We greatly enjoyed our stay at this house with the large grassy front yard and back decks. We were visited by deer and quail in the front and bunnies and jays in the back. We loved sitting on the platform on the bluff, watching sea lions and seabirds go by. The other houses on either side of the house are screened by trees/plants, so there is a sense of privacy on the decks. The highway is just one street over, close to be convenient but not obtrusive or loud. The house was comfortable with great art/decor and very clean but could have used sharper knives, microwavable containers, replacement frying pans (which were already on order by owner), and the opportunity to compost trash. The owner was very communicative, calling us the first night to welcome us, provide instructions, and offer us a gift certificate to a local restaurant, then checked in with us the next day. Although appreciated, we recommend providing updated written instructions as well due to the house's unique features (lighting, TV, washer/dryer, bidet, etc.). The shower, gas fireplace, and TV worked well. The laundry center was very appreciated, as we didn't have to pack as much on our trip. The property was just down the road from Gualala and Stewarts Point for restaurants, groceries, and gas station, and only an hour or less from Jenner/Bodega Bay, Salt Point Park/Kruse Rhododendron Reserve, and Fort Ross. Overall, we had a fun and relaxing time and recommend the Indigo Tide beachouse in Sea Ranch to all.
