Unit 24 Lot 37. This comfortable ocean meadow home has many classic Sea Ranch details including interior redwood walls with large windows to enjoy the ocean view and the meadow wildlife. Curl up in one of the four large window seats to enjoy the whitewater view, the scurrying quail or the migration of the pelicans. A short walk will take you to Shell Beach, some of the best Sea Ranch tide pools, the seal rookery or the children’s playground at One Eyed Jack’s House. A short drive will take you to one of the pools, tennis and pickleball courts.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was truly amazing - minutes from the beach, a great fireplace in the middle of the living room, and the kitchen had literally everything we needed to make great family meals.

8/10

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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!!

2/10

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. 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.
