Relaxing vacation with the waves and seals

Great stay at the Bovill! Cozy place with a beautiful view! It was a bit of a hassle to park with just two parking passes and not being allowed to park in the driveway but besides that it was a wonderful place to relax and unwind. :)

incredible location and great feel

This house idyllic in its location. Right next to a beautiful cove. Access to wonderful hiking and vistas. The house itself had anything we needed for extensive dinners and just lounging around. A truly wonderful experience.

Comfortable and beautiful views

The home was beautifully situated with amazing views of the ocean and easy access to the bluff trail. Very well stocked kitchen. We had 6 adults in our family and appreciated the large dining table for meals and board games.

Beautiful location and views!

The house is just as advertised, right on the ocean with sweeping views. And for our stay in cold January, the heating works very well and both gas fireplaces put out nice heat. Hot tub also clean and warm. The decor and interiors could use some updating...but other than that a very nice house.

Gorgeous view, wonderful location, quiet and private

Lots of animal neighbors including foxes, deer, quail, black oystercatchers, harbor seals, and even humpback whales. The view is astonishing even at night with so many stars and the milky way. The house is comfy and cozy; the deck is such a great spot for gathering, and the hot tub was enjoyed by all. The hikes and beaches nearby are easy and rewarding.

Fabulous view and walks

We were able to enjoy the beach/ocean views from the house windows and from 2 patios. The large garden entrance with hot tub was relaxing. The property was enclosed by a fence and felt very secure and safe. Mostly we loved sitting on the deck, watching the ocean and wild life and walking along the coast and observing the changing ocean views.

Bovill House 💜

We loved everything about our stay at the Bovill house! The view was incredible and you’re just steps from the beach. We have two young kids and the space was perfect for the four of us. Plenty of space to spread out and relax. This place is a gorgeous retreat and well worth it! We didn’t want to leave.

Beautiful property, spacious, spectacular views and easy access to coastal footpaths. House is well appointed with full service kitchen, cookware, etc, beach towels and more. Management responded very quickly to a hot water issue. We hope to return again. Thank you for wonderful time.

Beautiful

This was our first time here, our group loved being in this house and waking up to the beach, and falling asleep to the beach. The beach is a short 10 minute walk about the neighborhood to get down to the water. Beautiful hot tub, and clean towels. The master bed is super comfortable. We have basics to cook pasta, and breakfast. Local shore shell store 10 minute drive.

Great House with Ocean Views

This is a great house for a group and has ocean views from the living room and master bedroom. We came with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday for the weekend and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house has the kitchen and living/ dining areas all in the center, with two bedrooms each on either side of the center of the house. We loved going for long walks along the bluffs and soaking in the hot tub in the evening. The kitchen is large and has everything you need to prepare meals. There are plenty of games and books as well as a small DVD library for entertainment. It was clean and comfortable and we'd absolutely love to return some day!

Location, location

Bovill House is in a perfect Sea Ranch location -- steps away from the bluff path, Shell Beach and a cove where seals gather to nap. We had stayed in this house in 2020 and some renovation has been done since. The views are magnificent especially from the main bedroom and the living/dining room. Our only critical comment is that the two back bedrooms are very cold on a winter stay. The wall heaters either didn't work or were inadequate. Also, the owners would give a great gift to renters if they provided a new blender.

A beautiful and comfortable home

The home is quite welcoming, with many touches to make guests comfortable. One of its charms is the paintings on the walls, which were made by someone in the owner's family. The kitchen is very well equipped (it even has excellent knives!). The dining room table can hold a crowd with ease. We also ate meals on the deck, where we could watch the waves breaking. The living room sectional is plush and soft (so soft that it takes some doing to get out of it!) and faces a gas fireplace that can be lit with the touch of a button. Future guests should note that there are two stairs up to the bedrooms and two stairs down to the living room. (They have railings.) There are spectacular views of the ocean from the living room/dining room and the master bedroom. The hot tub offers relaxation at all times of the day and night. The beach is a short walk away, and there's a trail along the bluff above the beach. It was exciting to see seals feeding and pelicans diving. It was a joy to be there.
