Getting hot water to the master bathroom takes a few minutes and seems a waste of water.

Great for a family gathering

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 just finished our 6 night stay at Cormorant Cove and had a wonderful experience. The house is perfect for a group of 8 and we had family closeby in other houses that gathered at our house for meals, etc. It has a great layout and orientation toward the water, with additional views to the east up the hillside from the main floor. Easy access to the bluff trail and we were fortunate that the sheep were grazing just below the house, adding to the quintessential Sea Ranch experience. Super well-equipped across the board and quality finishes. Would definitely stay again.

Relaxing weekend at Sea Ranch

Had a great 3-night weekend at Cormorant Cove. House was well equipped with all the kitchen stuff we needed. Hot Tub was easy to use and very nice. Close to trailhead, and easy 20-min walk to Shell Beach. Great house to accommodate 4 couples. Had a nice dinner out at Vue Kitchen in Gualala. Would of been nice if more paper towels and toilet paper were supplied. And kinda a pain to "pickup" and "dropoff" the physical keys from/to rental company. Overall, we loved our stay at Sea Ranch.

We saw whales!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is always very welcoming and the new kitchen takes it to a new level. Suggestions made from a prior visit had been made, allowing use of the table throughout the afternoon. Yeah for blinds! The view to the water entertained us each evening as we spotted whales and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets. Great house!
Response from VrboOwner on Oct 23, 2024
Thank you for making a return visit to Cormorant Cove and for recommending the house. You gave the house less than five star ratings on cleanliness and condition, mentioning there were ant traps in the house. We apologize for any discomfort you felt. The owners of Cormorant Cove avoid spraying poison on the property. Instead, we place ant traps in strategic corners when there are signs of ants. Besides the regular cleaning, our housekeeping staff inspect each house shortly before guests arrive and clean as needed.

Great rental for a family

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: 1. Family outing - 6 adults, 2 g'kids, so the layout suits us perfectly. 2. Love the location for the ease to everything and esp the bluff trail and beaches. 3.. We rented this house in 2022, so the improvements are really great and appreciated - new kitchen (well stocked with appliances, cookware, dishes), enlarged main deck, new hot tub. 4. Like new layout in LR. (tho some may miss the fireplace in the cold weather...). 5. Enjoyed the puzzles, even added a few new ones. 6. We had the master br, boy it would be nice to have an optional shade to close on the big high window - very bright in the morning! Overall an A house.

A Wonderful Place to Relax!

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: Awesome! This house was GREAT! Having rented another house in Sea Ranch for 15+ years, we were cautious about finding a house that fit our needs as well. No worries!! This house was perfect for 8 adults who golf, play dominoes and enjoy watching the sun set into the ocean and great hikes. Each room was very comfortable, the main space allowed for comfort with lots of areas to spread out and interact if wanted. The large table with chairs was much appreciated. Sound system was a bonus. Only bummer - no shades on windows facing water and the sun was super strong, almost running us out of that space each afternoon. But not an issue that prevented us from renting again next year! Lovely home - perfect!
