They limit car passes to two, which means you can park int he driveway no problem but if you park elsewhere on the street one of the two passes provided to you must be in your window, These passes also get you into the pools. However the limit the number of people admitted into the pool to 6, even between the two passes. So you may have to but day passes for pool users beyond 6. Passes are $5 per person.

Our 4th time staying in Sea Ranch, so already we love it there, but Holiday House was easily the best home we’ve stayed in. Two forty-somethings, a septuagenerian, and a 5th grader all had spaces to retreat to for rest & privacy, but also a nice cozy area to play board games & watch movies. Pet friendly, excellent stove, clean and convenient to the main road as well as the beaches by foot. Will definitely try to book again in the future.

Beautiful classic Sea Ranch house and location. Only minus was that the bedroom that was the converted garage had a very strong mold smell.
Great place for multiple families. This was our 2nd time staying at the place and plenty of room to spread out. Location was perfect. My kids particularly enjoyed the hotter. Would definitely come back
Awesome location, very spacious home to accommodate two families. For the price of the stay, we would’ve expected basic shampoo etc in the showers and beach towels/gear, etc. however it was a good stay overall.

I hear you on the shampoo. However we’ve found as owners 1) no one really ever likes those products and 2) the waist created by the small packaging is incredibly high and in an environmentally conscious area like Sea Ranch it is frowned upon. We do give warning of this in our description though it is missed from time to time. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
Our group was there for a celebratory weekend. The rooms and house were spacious and well appointed. It was what we expected from the pictures and had all the amenities as described.
Had the best time in the oversized hot tub, easy access to the beach, whale sighting, sunsets, fox sighting, perfect weather, face masks and beautiful friendships Looking forward to another perfect Mothers Day escape next year.

Love In The Air
A much-needed vacation for my family, and the house was a perfect match. We enjoyed it all!!
We loved our stay at the Holiday House. It was incredibly peaceful and fun for our group of 9. We found the kitchen to be well stocked for making meals at home.
Had a great time at this house, with 4 generously sized bedrooms that worked well for our group with a mix of 3 families and kids ranging from 2mo to 7. Convenient location walking distance to the most family friendly beach in sea ranch, Shell beach. Very communicative and friendly host. Thank you!
The house was exactly how it looks in the photos and then some. It was very comfy, cozy, and relaxing. My family and friends had a great time and the property manager was very helpful and quick to respond. I would highly recommend!
Great location at Sea Ranch. Big house, easy access, and painless check in/out. Great hot tub and grill. Nice place for a weekend! Stayed here two years in a row, and no doubt will be doing so again next year hopefully. Thank you Erin!
Love the accommodations, the area, the surroundings, all of it! The views, the wildlife, the beaches, the stars... it was all spectacular! The host was easy to communicate with and responded to my questions quickly. I would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful place with a view of the water, close to the Bluff Trail and Shell Beach, very spacious. We had a lovely stay, so relaxing. Note, there is no soap or shampoo in the showers so bring your own.
The Holiday House was a wonderful place that met our needs for a family reunion; it was one of 3 houses we rented and this one was the house we met the most. It was spacious common rooms, the outdoor porch with BBQ, the hot tub that was hot and enjoyable for all. The backroom next to the kitchen was perfect to place one young family with 3 kids. Ideal for short and long walks along with coastline. Thank you.
Beautiful location, great for big/multiple families
AMAAAAAZING location so close to the ocean. The four large bedrooms were ideal for our extended family stay (siblings & parnters, grandparents, and three kids with a dog). Plenty of room for games, meals, fab hot tub, fairly well stocked kitchen, and perfect location in Sea Ranch. Its less dated than the photos may look.
