Things to know
Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.
Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.
Whale watching season runs from December through April -- grab the binoculars and watch for gray whale spouts from your window. Spring (April-June) brings a wildflower show across the coastal meadows -- lupine, poppies, and iris paint the landscape. Summer (June-September) brings the warmest days and longest light. Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday.
Welcome to bring 1 dog (up to 50 lbs.). Please keep your dog on leash on trails and clean up after them.
Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

We had a great stay. The location is beautiful, with amazing sunsets and a peaceful meadow view toward the ocean. The place was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped - just be sure to bring your own cooking oil if you plan to cook. The hot tub and outdoor shower were nice to have, and the hot tub was a great spot for stargazing.
