Overall we had a really wonderful stay. Made excellent use of the fireplace and kitchen and really relaxed. Communication with our host couldn’t have been better— we really appreciated the quick responses. A few issues with the hot tub breaker so there were a few times we weren’t able to use the hot tub (a main reason we booked the place) but once we finally figured out how to fix it we were good. Bedrooms are downstairs and a bit musty-smelling, one in particular very strong, which fortunately we didn’t need on this trip as it was just the two of us. Loved being so close to the Moonraker rec center and had that cute heated pool all to myself (February rain not popular for swimming, I guess). Thank you!

Always Wonderful

I was here for the third time for a solo getaway and I had the best time! The place is just perfect for a long stay or a quick getaway, well-stocked, comfy beds, scenic forest setting for the hot tub whether you're enjoying the sunshine or peeking at the stars through the redwood canopy. The location is unbeatable if you want quiet, yet just-out-the-front -door access to the incredible Sea Ranch trail system.

A wonderful escape

We really enjoyed our short visit in this beautiful home. The location in the forest is serene and relaxing with easy access to the beach and great hiking trails. The home is clean and well-equipped and very quiet. Unfortunately the hot tub was not working during our visit so we look forward to returning again so we can try it out.

Magical!

This wooded cabin has everything you need for an enchanting stay! This was our second time in this cottage and we just loved it! The huge trees just outside the dramatic windows are breathtaking, and the location can't be beat - a trailhead awaits just a couple of houses down. Kitchen is well stocked, the house is squeaky clean, beds are comfy, and fireplace is so nice after a day of exploring. We can't wait to come back!

Memorial Day Weekend

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful weekend with lots of peace, quiet and privacy. There is plenty of room for 2 couples or a family with 1 or 2 children. The hot tub was sublime; the kitchen fully equipped; the decor was kitchy and fun. We can't wait to go back!
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar, 2020
We enjoy our house at Sea Ranch because it gives us the best of two worlds, wonderful outdoor activity and peace and privacy without sacrificing basic comfort. We love morning coffee on the small back deck, the spa for relaxing and seeing stars from the deck. We are always happy to hear that others enjoyed it as well.

What a beautiful spot. This house was spotlessly clean, well maintained and just perfect for our stay. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed to cook. My family had such a lovely time here and can't wait to stay again. Catherine is also very responsive to messages and seems to really care about her guests. I highly recommend staying here.

We found Moonraker to be very comfortable for us and our two chihuahuas. The kitchen was well equipped to meet my cooking needs. The bluffs, beaches and hiking trails in the area were easy to access. The owner and her housekeeper were very attentive in checking in to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect.

Redwoods calm

Charming, serene home in the redwoods. Let the natural beauty soothe you. We felt like we were living among the trees. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility of this beautiful setting. A wonderful place to get away from it all. Plenty of hiking trails nearby and the gorgeous Sea Ranch community never disappoints.
