Newly decorated home with Sea Ranch/Pottery Barn look and a high-end kitchen. Four decks to enjoy ocean and garden views. Easy walk to Shell Beach and privately located at the end of the cul-de-sac. Located on .5 acre with empty .5 acre lots on either side. Ideal for three couples or a family. Three gas hearths, large HD television with DVR, hot tub, free wireless internet service included. Main House: 1 King, 1 Queen, 1 Double Sofabed. Casita: 1 Queen. ( Please note that we do not rent the 'Casita' alone.)

There is an openness to this home not only inside with its many windows but outside too. Unique to our house is the large open mowed space surrounding the house which has allowed for many a whiffle ball game, soccer, bocce, frisbee or kite flying. Bring your bicycles to enjoy either mountain biking on the trails or biking Leeward Road for a 8 mile roundtrip from our house on a road with little elevation change.

We designed the detached 'Casita' for a unique suite with its own deck, gas fireplace, flat screen t.v., DVD & spectacular views. Family & guests cannot decide which master suite they like best at the house. Our decks give you lots of options for sun or shade & protection from wind. The solar effect on the vast front windows keep the house toasty warm on cold days.

'Abalone Point' has been under property management for 4 years but we now have the time to manage the property ourselves and offer amenities not possible before. Our home will now have linens provided with the beds made so that you can enjoy your visit from the moment you walk in the door. You will find kitchen & bath towels too. Through our years of renting, we discovered many homes lacked kitchen amenities. We enjoy cooking & decided to outfit the kitchen with good kitchen dishes, sharp knives, pots and pans, lots of spices and seasonings for the gourmet chef. Views from the kitchen windows will make you want to cook. The couch and window seat will draw you for a nap, reading a book, or watching the wildlife. Deer love to graze around the house and often take their afternoon naps under the shade of a tree down from the house. Don't be surprised to see hawks, turkeys, or a fox walk by. You can take a walk or bike ride to Shell or Tidepool Beach. The seals are always there, taking their naps or watching you as you explore the beach. Another favorite spot in the house is the game table with views as you do a jigsaw puzzle or play one of the many games provided.

One-Eyed Jack playground is a short distance away and our grandchildren love exploring the cypress hedgerow next to the playground.We are sure you will enjoy your stay and love the peacefulness & beauty of The Sea Ranch.

                We have been going to Sea Ranch for over a decade, and our family had one of our best trips to Sea Ranch ever staying at Abalone Point. The owners were wonderful to deal with, responsive, accomodating, and helpful. It was such a treat to walk into the home and not have to set up all of the towels and linens on the beds, and pack them up when you leave like at most property rentals in Sea Ranch. The sheets were good quality, and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all the items that you need for making meals at home, and for simple baking. The layout of the home maximizes the family room space where we spent the bulk of our time in the house, as we relaxed and enjoyed the distant ocean views. The gas fireplaces and the afternoon sun keep the house toasty warm all day and night long. The grassy area in front of and adjacent to the lot provide an extra sense of space and solitude which we thoroughly enjoyed. We loved our stay, and hope to return again soon!

                My wife and I with another couple decided to come up from Sacramento and just relax. We found that this home was very well maintained and very comfortable. The location was very peaceful and quiet. The owners Peggy and Tom were very accommodating and we really enjoyed our stay. All you'll ever need in this home is to book it and just forget about everything else. We definitely plan on returning soon!

                We stayed at the Abalone Point home with two other families including small children. This home has a fantastic layout, sweeping panoramic views, all of the amenities of home and is a short, beautiful walk away from Shell Beach. There are plenty of deck areas for enjoying the views and the sunshine and the hot tub is a perfect way to relax after a fun day at the beach. The house was immaculately clean and has an abundance of space. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to go back to Sea Ranch and the Abalone Point home soon!

                We have been going to Sea Ranch for over thirty years and our stay at Abalone Point was the best yet! This home was fabulous in every respect. It was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. It had all the amenities you could want and more. We have stayed at many, many homes in the past years, but none have compared to Abalone appoint in terms of comfort. I can't say enough about how wonderful and special this home was!

                Owner response: Thanks for the great review and we hope you will return in the near future.

              Owner info

              Year Purchased: 2008

              About the owner: Our family camped on the North Coast for nearly 30 years with a love of the ocean, abalone diving and good times camping with family and friends. We learned of The Sea Ranch and began to rent homes after our camping area was closed. We soon discovered the wonderful amenities and luxuries that Sea Ranch offered. We decided to name our house 'Abalone Point' since we loved abalone diving and we met 44 years ago on Catalina Island and loved swimming at Abalone Point on Catalina Island. We are now retired and can spend the time to maintain and keep our Sea Ranch home up to our standards.

              Why the Owner Chose Sea Ranch:
              'Abalone Point' has been under property management for 4 years but we now have the time to manage the property ourselves and offer amenities not possible before. Our home will now have linens provided with the beds made so that you can enjoy your visit from the moment you walk in the door. You will find kitchen & bath towels too. Through our years of renting, we discovered many homes lacked kitchen amenities. We enjoy cooking & decided to outfit the kitchen with good kitchen dishes, knives, pots and pans, lots of spices and seasonings for the gourmet chef. Please let us know if we are missing some! Views from the kitchen windows will make you want to cook. The couch and window seat will draw you for a nap, reading a book, or watching the wildlife. Deer love to graze around the house and often take their afternoon naps under the shade of a tree down from the house. Don't be surprised to see hawks, turkeys, or a fox walk by. You can take a walk or bike ride to Shell or Tidepool Beach. Our grandchildren love collecting shells and other treasures at these amazing spots (especially at low tide). The seals are always there, taking their naps or watching you as you explore the beach. Another favorite spot in the house is the game table with views as you do a jigsaw puzzle or play one of the many games provided. One-Eyed Jack playground is a short distance away and our grandchildren love exploring the cypress hedgerow next to the playground.

              The Unique Benefits at this House:
              We fell in love with the openness of this home not only inside but outside. Unique to our house is the large open mowed space surrounding the house which has allowed for many a whiffle ball game, soccer, bocce, frisbee or kite flying. Bring your bicycles to enjoy either mountain biking on the trails or biking Leeward Road for a 8 mile roundtrip from our house on a road with little elevation change. We designed the detached 'Casita' for a unique suite with its own deck, gas fireplace, flat screen t.v., DVD & spectacular views. Family & guests cannot decide which master suite they like best at the house. You will see from our photo album at the house that we have done much of the work ourselves from installing slate floors, painting, to unique artistic light fixtures. Our decks give you lots of options for sun or shade & protection from wind. The solar effect on the vast front windows keep the house toasty warm on cold days. We are sure you will enjoy your stay and love the peacefulness & beauty of The Sea Ranch.
