Relax and stay a while.

Loved this place. Beautiful property with every possible kitchen accessory/house amenity you could want. So relaxing to hang out in multiple spaces, and every guest had their own bathroom. Literally is the most dog welcome property that we have stayed at. Definitely will be returning.

Stayed here with some college friends and all our little kids. Every room has an en-suite bathroom, so every family had some privacy and our own space. But we spent most of the time hanging in the living room and the back deck. We also enjoyed the fire pit for s’mores and used the grill too. The house is in a great location. We did some walks and a few of us used the tennis courts across the street. Plus we were such a close drive to Gualala that running out for groceries or grabbing a bite to eat was easy.

Our family has stayed in a variety of Sea Ranch homes for over 20 years. We all decided that this was THEE BEST! The beds were extremely comfortable; having ensuite bathrooms in every bedroom, was a real plus; the natural color tones throughout the house, we're very calming; it was easy to work in the kitchen, and it was extremely well supplied; of the two outdoor patio venues, the front one had heaters and

The view is lovely and the kids had a ball being so close to the pool. The kitchen is wonderfully supplied with every dish and utensil you could want. Having ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom made it easy to share the house with 8 people.

Great place to celebrate an 80th birthday!

This property was amazing! It fit our large family, ranging in all ages, perfectly, along with the dogs. The kitchen had every pot, pan, bowl, and utensil you needed to cook a variety of dinners, including a birthday cake. The court yard was perfect to BBQ as well as accommodate the dogs without having to worry about them running off. The views were amazing! There was an intense storm but we managed a few walks down the trails which were beautiful. Loved how every room had its own bathroom. Would definitely come back! Thank you Charlie’s Retreat!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely time at Charlie's Retreat. Location was fantastic (short walk to the bluff trails and just across the street from the Del Mar Rec Center), the house was incredibly well-stocked, and the rooms were very comfortable. We very much appreciated the ready-instructions for anything that was not intuitive. All in all, Charlie's Retreat was a DREAM and we felt very fortunate to enjoy the week there.

Perfect House and Location for Family Getaway!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in 20+ houses in Sea Ranch over many years. It's a challenge to find a four bedroom house, especially one that is in beautiful condition and with lovely views. This is a winner. Loved it and would rent it again. Kitchen is very well equipped, though a little tight for more than 2 chefs. Flow of house works very well. Bedrooms are spacious. Bathrooms are updated. Outdoor spaces are excellent. A couple of small items that malfunctioned during our stay (a towel rod, a drawer) but nothing unusual for a rental property.

Towels, linens, beds, and furniture all comfortable and high quality. The books and games were another plus. Thoughtful hosts. And the Sea Ranch rec options also enjoyable--sauna, pickleball, swimming, and of course the ocean. Highly recommend. Front entry stepping stones only minor gripe--having a sprained foot, I found them challenging to navigate. All else lovely.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Oven needs replacing! On it's last leg. Could not read the temp control or mode dials & inside very dark. Outside fire pit would not light. Patio heaters did not work. Espresso maker not working. South bathroom toilet backed up & had to be snaked two days in a row. Electrical outlet in south bedroom could not be used. Screen door off south bedroom would not open. Screen door from dining area to back deck very hard to open. Nice house, great floor plan with lots of light, clean linens, plenty of cooking utensils, dishware, new gas cooktop & dishwasher. Rental agency very pleasant to work with. I would recommend this property to a friend if I knew the oven was replaced.
