"This is a beautifully decorated house stocked with every kitchen item you can think of. I’ve been to Sea Ranch many times and have never stayed on the east side of PCH and I am now wondering why not? Fir Hill Wood was just as peaceful and as close to everything. We enjoyed our hikes, the hot tub and happy hour watching the sun set on the deck. This property is a delight."

"Aside from the incredible views this property offers, it is so thoughtfully and lovingly furnished that it was a joy to spend time there. The spacious, modern bathroom is an unexpected highlight. No freezer, so not to expect ice for your drinks. And you might pack a small plug-in night light for the bathroom. Otherwise, you will want for nothing."
