Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival.

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 a leash on trails and clean up after them. Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

Verified reviews from guests who stayed in this home.

Spectacular view with easy access to trails along Sea Ranch cliffs. Moulton House is comfortable with great quiet atmosphere including fireplace and full kitchen. We have enjoyed Moulton House several times and hope for many more !

Ken

The views, the views, the VIEWS! We think this was our 5th stay at Curtis Moulton Retreat and the views (and proximity to the coastal trail) are the reasons. We have stayed at multiple places in Sea Ranch. Nothing compares to these views. Do be prepared to be in a bit of a fishbowl... it would be nice if the glass was one way.

Letitia

The view is spectacular. Comfortable and traditional Sea Ranch. Perfect house we've stayed at over the last 25 years. We love it.
