Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Musty smelling home, lacking kitchen supplies with poorly maintained hot tub. I stayed here while attending a weekend wedding. The neighborhood was fantastic and couldn’t ask for a better setting. Upon checking in (late evening) I noticed the hot tub water had a foul odor and was dirty. I have my own hot tub at home and know when the water hasn’t been changed in a while. I had to clean the filter and swap half of the water in order to enjoy it that evening. The kitchen supplies are extremely limited, so if you are going to stay here, plan like you’re going camping. I noticed the windows that had a view looking west towards the sunset were also very dirty. If the home was deep cleaned, had kitchen supplies and the hot tub was maintained, it would’ve been a five star review. ##### Troy B.

Jul 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place away from the city Wonderful, spacious, clean, bright, and private family getaway near the ocean, forest, meadows, and state park. After walking the trails, seeing the sights, or visiting the nearby town of Gualala, you can take a dip in the community pool, soak in the backyard hot tub, or just lounge around. The deer, birds, & sheep were bonuses. One point for improvement is the electric sockets. Most were very loose which made charging and plugging in devices/appliances difficult (potential electrical hazard & cause for circuit tripping). ##### Edwin V.

Dec 20, 2022 #### All the basics are there Clean, nice view of meadow and deer. Quiet neighborhood with playground nearby and easy walk to Gualala Park. Nice hot tub, but lights are out in tub. Chairs at hot tub and on little outside deck are old and uncomfortable. Could use another couch in living room. Queen beds seem smaller than queen size, at least for larger people. ##### Diane S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gay W. Apr 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in #### NEEDS UPDATING I stayed at this property several years ago. It has not been updated since then. TV is about 36", no directions in the house binder about it or anything else in the house. The Netflix account wasn't accessible. No cable so streaming was the only choice. Trash can in bathroom not emptied. Very clean otherwise. Very good bed and linens, I brought my own pillow thank goodness! I thought the water in the hot tub looked cloudy; it was nice and hot, though. The host could have provided a map of Sea Ranch or let guests know that the real estate office has free maps at the Annapolis Rd location. The shower head in the tub/shower bathroom needs replacing. I couldn't see the heater controls in that bathroom so I don't know if it was working - didn't seem to turn on. The kitchen is well supplied with cooking equipment and small appliances BUT 6 forks? and even fewer soup spoons? This kitchen eating utensils need to be upgraded with enough for 4 adults for at least one day. The worst thing is that the house was extremely COLD: apparently there is very little that can be done about that except to use the wall heaters or make a fire. The owner's signs on the heaters were cautionary about the cost of using the heaters so please don't use them very much. They were the only sources of heat! The wood stove? Didn't look usable - clean, but small and no instructions. No markers on the flue handle. Logs were there but most were too huge to fit. Overall I was dissatisfied and left 2 days early. ##### Gay W. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Erin A. Feb 4, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### left a lot to be desired I tried to contact the property manager multiple times about these issues but unfortunately they were not receptive to hearing what was going on. the neighborhood and view were good, and there was nice natural light in the place. but that’s about it in terms or pros. here are the issues that arose during the stay: \* no heat throughout house. just space heater and wood stove. it is a two story house \* for the wood stove there was only a small bundle and we needed to buy the rest. this seems flawed. like if a vrbo house had a faucet but then the guest had to pay extra for the water to run \* speaking of water, it takes about 15 minutes of the water running to even get hot. sink and showers alike \* no way to turn on or off fan on stove but there is a sign that says we must use fan when cooking \* stove did not work longer than enough time to heat water on the kettle. could not cook on it at all \* broken soap dispense that sliced my hand i am not usually one to write a bad review but i’ve tried multiple times to get in touch with the property company and have gotten nowhere with them. they need to make some serious changes before it is safe for guests, especially during the winter. ##### Erin A.

Jan 31, 2023 #### Fake Photos, Unresponsive Customer Service House was clean upon arrival, but we were jarred that the plush leather couches represented in the photos weren't there - they'd been replaced with other upholstered ones. Furniture bait and switch didn't feel good. Fireplace details of the reservation told us to bring only kindling because firewood would be provided - but it was firewood stored outdoors and it had rained all week - so that was a bust since it was all soaked. And this is especially offensive because a pellet stove is the only upstairs heating - so all of a sudden we were out another $100 on wood for our four night stay. Kitchen was poorly equipped - no dishrack to dry dishes or scrubber to get scrambled eggs off a pan - seems like they didn't expect us to cook. I email alerted Vacasa immediately upon our arrival about these deficiencies (a phone call made at the same time to the local office went to a line with no voicemail set up, just rang forever), and didn't get an email reply for two days. Then I was told a local rep would reach out ... which happened another two days later, and while I missed that call I returned with two voicemails spread over four days - but still no one has called back and I'm sick of chasing them. I would leave a less harsh review if not for this lack of effort by customer service. Very disappointing, as I've been coming to Sea Ranch for 40 years, and this was the worst experience I've had up there. Hot tub was clean and functioned well. Would not recommend this house, would not recommend Vacasa, and will say for the price we paid - this was a rip off. ##### Alex F. ### 8/10 Good #### Enrique S. May 16, 2025 ##### Enrique S.

Jun 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great (elite) location / “OK” overall stay Sea Ranch is fantastic. Both houses we rented seemed to have been set up by penny-pinchers. Why have terrible cheap-o mattresses; lowest end paper products? Why have ZERO kitchen supplies? Hey….at least warn folks so we bring everything, as shopping in Gualala is not what one wants to do. I kind of put it on Vacasa, and it seems like an institutional failure. But even so, Sea Ranch is crazy good so what are you going to do? PS - the door to the hot tub will auto lock you out of the house - very scary if you cannot climb the 8’ wall. ##### Martin M.
