Sure, this home is a bit dated, but we enjoyed the history of this home, it seems like one of the original Sea Ranch homes, built to be a part of the natural surroundings vs standing out. Very cozy, easy layout, the place is built to enjoy the views and nature, the kitchen is easy to use, and it was the perfect size for us and our dog. Loved being by Black Pt Cove, and the north/south walking trails. ##### Donald W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jane M.

Aug 16, 2024 #### Peaceful We have been to this house many times and come back because it has such a wonderful view and location. Yes the house is dated and doesn't have all the amenities as many other Sea Ranch houses do, but as long as it's clean and things work, we are happy to return. It appears to be managed better than in the past for which we are grateful. Hopefully before too long new beds will be purchased! ##### JANETTE G.

This house has one of the best views in Sea Ranch. I had a house here for 45 years and I’ve seen a lot of views but this one is amazing. Also, we got to watch whales right off the shore on their migration south to Mexico. It’s a bit dated but that didn’t affect our enjoying the house one bit!! ##### Shawn H.

We could hear the crashing waves all the time. The open plan living space was wonderful. The furnishings however were a bit dated and in need of some love, the bed in the main bedroom was a little uncomfortable (although large, which was nice), and the bathrooms could do with an update. We adored seeing the deer and quails right outside, and really it's all about the view and solitude here. We had a great time. ##### Mariko J.

We have stayed at the Curtis-Moulton house many times. This trip, although in December with some rain, was still wonderful. The deer, the fox, the view! And we really, really appreciated that the outlet in the master bath is now working. The improvements made in the kitchen and the responsiveness of the local Vacasa staff was also appreciated. The ants were more under control and the place was cleaner than the last few times. So, again thank you for making this house available to us. ##### JANETTE G. Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Amelia G. Apr 9, 2024 #### Amazinggg views, but interior needs some serious love The most wonderful things about this home are the views and that it is one of the original Sea Ranch homes with beautiful architectural bones. The location is extraordinary and you can see and hear the sound of the ocean from nearly every room. The fireplace is also lovely. Sadly, this home has fallen into disrepair over the years and has not been well maintained. (I first stayed here 22+ years ago with the original owners and again about 9 years ago.) The windows needed to be repaired/replaced during my last visit and have only gotten worse. Many of them do not close properly and while this allows for more access to the sounds of the sea, on colder days it creates a serious draft. The rug in the living room is the same from 9 years ago ago and it wasn't great then. Now it's beyond shabby. The beds are quite old, dingy and uncomfortable and the shade in the primary bedroom bathroom has clearly been broken for some time. Why no one has replaced it is a mystery when it would cost little and make a great difference. As others have mentioned there is an ongoing any problem. There are ant traps placed strategically around the home, but I still woke up once in the middle of the night with a few ants crawling on me. (eep!) There were often ants in the kitchen as much as we tried to keep food wrapped up and out of reach. The oven had only one shelf which made cooking challenging and when I looked for and found a second shelf it didn't fit and seemed to be for a previous oven. I understand that this is a rental and that things break and go missing from time to time, but it feels like no one is paying attention. I don't find these broken or missing things "quaint." It's not inexpensive to stay at Sea Ranch and it feels cheap and disappointing that basic amenities have not been touched in more than a decade's time. As much as I love this house, I'm not sure I would stay here again until some basic interior upgrades are made. (I called Vacasa as a courtesy before writing this review to give them the opportunity to address my concerns, but their response was indifferent at best. Note to owner: Time to find a new management company?) ##### Amelia G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madison H.

The furnishings are a bit dated, but we didn't come for the interior, we came for the beauty of Sea Ranch. ##### Gail C.

Jun 22, 2025 #### Rustic Seaside Splendor Fantastic ocean view from picture windows of Black Point Beach. Great walking trails atop coastal cliffs went right by the back porch. Close to the Lodge, where we charged our EV. ##### Denise H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clyde M.

It is dated, but that has its own charm. Location cannot be beat. ##### Andrew S. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness Beautiful location and views. Adequate kitchen and beds were comfortable. Home is older and a bit shabby. But they allow dogs so that may impact how much they invest. House could have been much cleaner. Stove had problem with large burner. We did not use it and it was reported and addressed by staff. Lighting needs improvement -- home very dark unless every single light was on. We moved some lamps to provide light in first bedroom which had only one desk lamp working. Bathroom in hall is small but fine. Master bath is very small and dark with low toilet. Could be charming, but it's not. AGAIN -- location and views were perfect. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin E. Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house is an amazing and exceptional place. As an architect specializing in historic preservation, this home and its unique legacy left a big impression on me. Best I can tell, it's still owned by the same family, and is about as original as it gets. Except for a few updates (kitchen counters and appliances, bathroom tubs and fixtures, roller blinds) everything about this property is original and authentic. It really feels like stepping back in time, to a well loved family retreat that has brought joy to generations of a family. The house was comfortable, quiet, and we'll appointed. We had a fire going in the living room, and used the mini split heaters, and were comfortable the entire time we were there. Even staying up all night with our newborn.Could have asked for a better stay, and really hope that our paths cross again with this property and this family. This is a special place that we are lucky to have experienced. ##### Kevin E.
