We stayed four nights in July, our second time to this house. The house is just as described and shown on the listing. It is beautifully and comfortably furnished. It is a perfect layout for two couples or a small family. The kitchen is perfectly equipped with everything you need. The window seat is perfect for your morning coffee to just enjoy the view of the ocean. We loved seeing the deer graze right outside our door.

We have stayed at this house at least 5 times over the last 20 + years. Everyone in our family loves it. It just keeps getting better over the years! We have stayed at many other homes in Sea Ranch, but this is by far our favorite.We love all the colors and how they play with the outdoors natural beauty.
