Marvelous Christmas destination

We loved the house - especially the location. Also for those of us who are older - wonderful rails on the stairs! Only problem, a leaky sink and of course this occurred on Xmas so did not get fixed before we left - we tried not to use the sink. Liked layout of house - great for various ages. We would definitely rent again!!

The place to go for a relaxing retreat

The place is spacious, comfortable and has an amazing view from the house as well as easy access to trails and beach. We had 7 guests and it was very comfortable staying here! Would love to come back for another trip!

Wonderful place to stay, with the best views!

We love this house. It’s about as close to the ocean as you can get in Sea Ranch, with immediate access to the trail and amazing views from the living area of the house. Will be staying here again!

Great location; tired and worn property

Great location with water views from the living/kitchen area and master bedroom with working hot tub. Issue is about the value for what it is. This place is very much a rental and lost its pride of ownership long ago. We had issues with heat getting to the upstairs (the coast is cold) and there is no central heat to the master bedroom/bath... we borrowed a space heater on day 2. Instructions on heating the place were dated (no mention of how to operate the gas fireplace or there was a space heater hidden in the corner of a closet.) Cold master bathroom is a given. Bring your own toilet paper unless you are OK with 1 ply from a third world country. You may also want to bring your own towels as well. One more thing... once you are in this fishbowl of a master bedroom you realize that there are no windows that open and the slider is wayyyy stuck, so consider your emergency fire exit options (i.e., up a curved flight of stairs, across the kitchen/living room, down a flight of stairs, out of the door).

Beautiful views, great location, but house is a bit outdated

The expansive 180+ degree views of the coastal bluff are stunning. Loved the floor to ceiling windows. The house comfortably slept 3 couples, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking.

Whales Galore

The house was great, especially for a get away during COVID. Secluded but accessible to trails & the beach for creature watching. Small family can stay on one side, while singles or couple get a room to themselves.

Overall, very pleased

We loved the home. We would return. View is spectacular. Home is comfortable with wonderfully appointed couches and comfy corners. There is a positive quality to the energy and a feeling almost of a big farmhouse warmth. Some challenges that are definitely fixable: WiFi was unstable and weak Towels seemed thin and rough Front door mat was old and stained We couldn't figure out how to turn on the fireplace. But... All in all. We were quite happy with our experience. Warmly, Leni Miller

Beautiful view and location

Gorgeous view; watched whales go by and enjoyed the changes in the ocean and the sky. Very relaxing. House is a little tired and could use some TLC. Seal in master bedroom picture window has "popped" so the condensation prevented that room from having a stellar view. A little $$ would make this place absolutely unbelievable.

Great location

We loved the location - right on the bluff. The design of the house was the most unusual we’ve been in, but in a good way. It would have been nice to have a floor plan or more description of room locations in the property description. The house really needs a deep cleaning - lots of nooks and crannies for dust and spider webs. Also, the view windows needed cleaning to sharpen our view, caused by the salt air from the ocean. And as with many houses in Sea Ranch, there is a lot of water seepage on the interior woodwork. Water was dripping in and near the kitchen sink each morning from condensation from the overhead window. The house could use some TLC. Overall, the stay was a great experience for our family.

All about the View!

This home sits in the perfect location. The view is stunning! Our friends, 6 of us have stayed here about 6 or 7 times since 2015. We love the architecture of the house. The jack and Jill bedrooms have soft but not very comfortable beds. There’s a dip in the middle and you roll into your partner. I looked under the beds in both rooms and noticed cinderblocks and chunks of wood that are there to possible support the bed but it’s not. The basic cleanliness of the bathrooms and kitchen is good. But there are cobwebs and dust through out the house. Rodents are present. We checked in and found a dead mouse in the kitchen. Mouse turds were in drawers, side table, and even on the couch. Last complaint is the windows were dirty and with that view it makes a big difference! Like everything else since Covid the price has gone up and it seemed the housekeeping isn’t a priority. Was there a change in ownership?

Location, Location, Location

This is the most iconic house on the bluffs at Sea Ranch, situated at the best location: Del Mar Point. It's a five star house, which deserves maintenance which it hasn't received. Remove half a star for that. All of my remarks have been conveyed to Vacasa Customer Service and the top notch staff at the Gualala office. We arrived during the Jan 2023 atmospheric river storms and the power was out. We came prepared with portable power stations, a portable frig and ice chests, rechargeable lamps and headlamps. We were able to light 4 of 5 burners on the stove so we could cook. We lit the gas fireplace. There was no fan but we didn't need it. It wasn't cold upstairs. To our surprise the water heater had a pilot, not a piezo ignitor so we had hot water the entire time. The storms were fantastic. The 20' to 30' waves were extraordinary to view, hear and feel from upstairs. The rain was torrential; not so great in a house made of glass. The roof, hot tub deck and windows should be inspected and repaired after such a series of storms. There was a lot of leaking. After 5 days the power was fully restored. The house had been cleaned but there are old cobwebs throughout the house that need to be addressed. The GFI's in the shared bathroom downstairs wouldn't reset. The ignitors on the two front burners on the stove didn't work. The handle on the front door was so loose it was difficult to operate and would spontaneously lock itself. We noticed and appreciated the new living room furniture. Comfortable and suitable. And group members enjoyed the hot tub, once it was heated. Gripes and notes to future renters: The pans are awful. Bring your own. The cooking utensils are flaccid plastic. They should be replaced with better quality plastic and wood. The can opener needs to be replaced. There are plenty of plates and bowls, but no food storage containers. Plenty of flatware but no teaspoon-sized spoons. There were no tongs. Bring extra towels in case of another power outage. Although you'll be able to take nice hot showers, you won't be able to launder towels. The consumables were stocked adequately. We added foil, baggies and dish soap. We've been renting houses for over ten years at Sea Ranch and Compass Rose was the one I most looked forward to. It was as amazing as I had imagined. I'd love to rent it again. I hope the owners take the maintenance requests to heart.

The Blush Has Worn Off The Rose

“While Compass Rose has a lovely view from the upstairs great room, this house has several issues that would not allow me to recommend it for future renters. Deferred maintenance is evident throughout the home and overall cleanliness is lacking.

Great views, but deferred maintenance an issue

The view from the living room was spectacular, but deferred maintenance is an issue. Broken door knob to the hot tub area, sliding glass door downstairs has so much condensation that you can see through it. Almost all the dishes needed to be rewashed Kitchen faucet is broken and needs replacing, entire house was dusty. Needs new pans, and kitchen knives couldn't cut warm butter.

Spectacular Home!!

This is the best home in Sea Ranch we've found for older parents seeking quality time with young adult offspring and their partners. There is ample communal space with gorgeous views. Plus a generous amount of personal spaces for everyone to curl up for with a book for some private time.

Perfect location

Beautiful view from great, sizable living room. Kitchen, hot tub, washer/dryer- all very easy to use. There are lotsa stairs, but we didn’t mind. The house was extremely comfortable and well worth it. There was no coffee maker! The central office were confused whether this was an Amenity or not. Called the local Vacasa office. Staff delivered a new one promptly.

Amazing location

We stayed here for a week, and it was wonderful. First and foremost, the location just can't be beat. You feel like you're alone on the shoreline, with a wall-to-wall view of the ocean and the cliffs. We could just sit on the couch (or hot tub) and watch seals, otters, birds, and whales spouting and flipping their flukes 1/2 mile off the shore. I will say the house layout is spread out with lots of stairs. The bedrooms are separated between front and rear downstairs, and we found ourselves walking back and forth and up and down stairs a lot -- definitely not a great house for elderly or people with mobility issues. Overall a great stay. We'd be happy to come back.
