About this property

Going Coastal | Perfect for Whale Watching

  • Welcome to Going Coastal, a bright and cheerful Sea Ranch retreat where ocean views, meadow wildlife, and coastal adventures come together. From the comfort of the living room, watch whales pass offshore, deer wander through the meadow, or birds of prey soar overhead while the gas fireplace and radiant floors keep you cozy.

    Designed for both relaxation and fun, this three-bedroom home offers a hidden Smart TV, ocean-view deck, sunny patio, games, ping pong, and backyard disc golf. Spend the day exploring nearby beaches and bluff trails, then come home for a sunset BBQ or a quiet evening taking in the scenery.

Going Costal

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Available TV: News, weather, movies. Cannot search or record programs unless you already know how from years of experience renting at Sea Ranch (73 times); not in the instructions. Giants fans out of luck, unavailable. Step down in master bedroom is an accident waiting to happen, if it already hasn't. Not recommended for older people with balance problems. A lot of thought went into this house by the owners, thanks.
