Oct 17, 2019 #### Elegant well sited house From the broad expanse of windows and sliding doors you look out at a meadow and the ocean, with almost no other houses in sight. Trails near the house take you down to Shell Beach..one of the nicest at Sea Ranch. We saw whales and a bobcat ! Kitchen was well equipped, nice wood fire. Both bedrooms are large and comfortable, but the master BR is dark and gloomy. This could be remedied if owner let you raise the blinds over full length windows and sliders..BUT blinds are unworkable and owners have put a sign on the curtains in the adjacent "solarium" "do NOT open curtains !" Don't know why! It would make a world of difference. If you are thinking of renting this home, I suggest you ask if that problem has been remedied. The solarium is a great feature if you have children with you. Books, games. We highly recommend this house with the reservations as mentioned above. ##### Marion F. ### 8/10 Good #### Pauline A. Jan 25, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Christmas vacation We needed a place to stay to go away from home after the loss of a close family member. The house was near the path that leads straight to the water a couple of minutes away. The home was comfortable, well- stocked and well-kept. The favorite room for our toddler was the solarium. There was a special space just for playtime. There is a room separate from the rest of the home above the garage that might work well for older children. The check-in was difficult because no one was working in the office that day & the instructions were not clear, even for the person who took our call on Christmas day. Fortunately, we found the information packet and we're on our way to the home for a wonderful Christmas away from home. ##### Pauline A.

This is the third time we have stayed here in five years and this house is great. Centrally located (near the trails!), great layout and great for our family. The local Vacasa office is FANTASTIC and super helpful. ##### Stacy F. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen F. Dec 10, 2019 #### We love this home This was possibly our 8th Thanksgiving at Serenity. It continues to be a place of beauty and relaxation. A true HOME, well stocked beyond the basics...comfy beds...nice towels...ample cutlery and dishes. In a word: perfect. ##### Ellen F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron V. Nov 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic and will stay here again with a teeny, tiny caveat Everythijg was wonderful, except for the instructions for finding the property and for finding the rental office in Gualala for the info packet. In the Sea Ranch and surrounding area there is no ell service which means no GPS. So we just had to drive around and around and around looking for the house. And the rental office where we got the packet was extremely hard tio find even after we foud the area it was locatred in with the address. None of the businesses in there are marked with lot numbers and the office was hidden. These are the only two things I would change. Oh, and this morning "you" emailed how I liked my saty at 6:30 in the morning and woke me up. Not very nice. Other than that it was wonderful. ##### Aaron V.

With a tiny caveat Everyting was perfect except that the directions to the house and to the rental agency to pick up the packet were very vague and without GPS (no internet service on the road in that area) it was time consuming and irritating. Even though we had the address of the rental office if was hidden away in a complex that took a long time to find. Simple additions to the GETTING THERE part of email instructions would solve this. ##### Karen E. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee A.

I enjoyed the spaces....two living rooms which allows two groups of people to enjoy different activities simultaneously. The home was equipped with spices beyond necessary....a surprise and not one I imagined. The main living room was beautiful and inspired a calm....amazing lighting throughout the home. Great place for adults. ##### Leslie P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Juanita M.

Jan 2, 2019 #### A slightly odd layout, but a wonderful spacious house I really enjoyed our stay at Serenity. The bedroom setup is a bit confusing, but worked great for us. There's one spacious queen bedroom, with a shared bathroom right outside it, one king bedroom with a large private bathroom attached to it, a "solarium" (second living room that used to be an deck, I think, and got walled off) with a futon / sofa bed in it, and a tiny bedroom with a double bed up some stairs from the garage. To use the bathroom from that room, you go down the stairs into the garage, then enter the house through the back of the garage, and the bathroom is next to the kitchen. The solarium actually has sliding glass doors separating it from the master bedroom, but they're covered with thick blackout curtains on both sides, and surprisingly well sound isolated; it seems odd, but it works great. The kitchen is one of the best ones I've used at Sea Ranch, in many years -- well equipped, spacious pantry, good pots and pans, etc. The living room has a nice little pot belly stove as a fireplace that works great. The hot tub is large, comfortable, and in a great location off the living room. Dining table expands to seat six comfortably. Location is near perfect -- just a couple of minute walk from the beach. ##### Zachary R. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen F. Nov 26, 2018 #### We LOVE this house We have rented Serenity at least 7 times in a row for Thanksgiving, and it's the BEST house. It feels like a HOME, not a vacation rental. This house is loved by its owners, and it shows everywhere, from beautiful decor to an amazingly well-stocked kitchen. We just adore staying at Serenity! ##### Ellen F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa R., San Mateo, CA Oct 25, 2018 #### Our stay at Serenity was very cozy! Great location, well appointed home! Lovely, warm home with easily enough room for 8\. Great views with easy walk to bluffs, trails and beaches. Could have used few more towels and some extra sheets. However, that said, the house has a well stocked kitchen with oils, spices, teas and even syrup and other condiments to make meal prep very easy. Plenty of space for two family’s of 4 to spread out. Beds were very comfortable and home felt very clean. Daily views consist of neighborhood deer and stunning waves. Nice to have access to pools however at no fault to Serenity’s owners of course, it should be noted that after September there is only one pool available at the Ohlone center but was a bit cold for kids . The lovely hot tub at Serenity made up for this small glitch in plans. Great time was had by all. We will be back! Thank you for allowing us into your home! ##### Lisa R.

I read other reviews before even booking this place. I seen it had some negative reviews and I have got to say don't listen to the bad reviews!

Sep 5, 2018 #### Serenity It was a very relaxing time with enuf room the family. Loved the close beach access & the sunsets were fantastic. It was a lovely get away but be warned, no dish towels or napkins, Take those with you. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that there is an obnoxious neighbor who watches every move you make & calls security on you for even little infractions. He ruined it for us. Kids were afraid to play outside out back! ##### Myke J. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Barbara B.

Patio door from dining room to patio is warped and it to Barbecue is very old and rusting out. I had to purchase towels in town so we could all have a towel for our showers. The upstairs bedroom off of the garage is not tall enough for an adult to stand up in. That cannot be code acceptable. I was disappointed in the Home overall for the price per night it was quite a disappointment. ##### mary Anne H.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location. The meadow had so much life with deer and fawns running around, birds swooping and frogs jumping. Shell beach is so nice and so close, we loved it. ##### JOHN C.
