Place was good, Vacasa was a nightmare!

Unfortunately Vacasa confirmed a change in my reservation in writing and then didn't honor their confirmation and it wound up costing an extra 1000! Beware when dealing with them.

Beautiful ocean views

This little place was perfect for us. The furnishings were clean and comfortable, hot tub with view of water was super! …..And it was already heated when we arrived. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment for cooking and all necessary utensils. A nice little yard and deck. Close to highway, but no highway noise! The only irritation/confusion was the VRBO & Vacasa relationship. Why two businesses we had to respind to. That is not very personalised

Relaxing Getaway - Inaccurate Listing

The house was very nice. The view was amazing. Kitchen had everything needed to cook for two.Minor noise from California 1, but not much.Hot tub was wonderful.Be aware, though, that the house DOES NOT have a working wood stove, despite the title and listing information for the property. This was something of a disappointment for us.

Second time staying here

This was our second time staying here. We love coming up in the off season as there’s less people in the area. It’s usually rainy but we got lucky this trip.

Perfect spot

This place was perfect for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary! Great views, close to restaurants and shops, and many great trails to explore. I would definitely come stay here again. Clean place, plenty of blankets, everything we needed.

Great stay

Very nice house. Totally recommend it. I would say the kitchen and the bathroom could definitely use an upgrade, but they are still fully functional. The views are breathtaking and the hot tub is a big plus.

Lovely and relaxing

I was recuperating from an injury and this was the ideal location. We found it exactly as described other than it's in Gualala, not Sea Ranch. The hot tub with the ocean view was great and everything we needed was provided or available a short drive away.

Cozy With An Awesome View

This is a comfortable place for a couple. Amenities are close at Gualala. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the waves in the cove below. Our only issue was that when we arrived, the code that unlocks the door didn't work. It was easily remedied by calling VRBO who gave us a new code.

Beautiful view, cozy house

The view was amazing, the house was very cozy and well stocked. It could use a few updates - the electrical outlets are loose and things did not stay plugged in well, the blinds have seen better days, and the baseboard heaters are not up to the task of heating. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and dishes, the living room is very comfortable, the windows make everything feel very open. The hot tub was amazing. The house is located very conveniently to Gualala and Point Arena. The Surf market is nearby and had a great selection - especially for such a small market - and was reasonably priced. I would absolutely stay there again.

Charming home overlooking the water

Cute little cottage house, great views and worked perfect for the 2 of us. Very relaxing place to spend some time, no service which is great and Wi-Fi as needed. The house itself could use some quality TLC. The bed is bit firm and the blinds are broken in the room, the knives are dangerously dull and the faucet is duct taped together. You pay over $150 cleaning fee but the shower and hot tub (inside cover) is full of mold. A few updates could go a long way, other than that it was a delightful stay.

Magnificent view & hot tub

Lovely stay with my wife and infant. Simple house on the coast with a view that is well worth the price. Saw and heard seals from the house. Hot tub was ready for us on arrival. House was clean and everything functioned. Wall heater in bedroom and living area kept the house warm as well as the wood burning fireplace. Our 9 month old was warm and happy and so were we. If you're looking for an extra fancy house with bells and whistles, just look at the view and then look at it again while sitting in the hot tub and ask yourself, do I really need bells and whistles when I have this view? Could the house use some upgrades, sure. But it was more than enough for us and we will be back.

Great romantic getaway house but with a couple of shortcomings

We spent 4 nights at this house and it was pretty stellar. The view is amazing and the hot tub was great. I would give this home 5 stars except for the following minor issues. We like to cook and we planned on making all of our meals here. The problem is that the stove top has some issues. The burners would get to temperature but then fade out and then get hot again. It made cooking very challenging. The second issue is that there was a mouse in the rafters. It only occurred one night but we could here it making noise and squeaking. I know that the location is near the woods so I wasn't too concerned but it terrified my partner. The third issue is that that the check in time is 4pm and the check out time is 10am. This cut down on the amount of time that we could enjoy the home. 10 am is very early to depart after 4 nights of relaxation. 11 am would be better. Noon would be optimal.

Cozy home and great view!

My spouse and I have been looking for a one room house to rent for her birthday and Valentine celebration. Cove house was just what we both wanted. Small with one bedroom, kitchen, living room, dining room, and a hot tub. The view from the backyard to the shore was amazing. Everything goes accordingly to plan and we both needed a small quiet place to spend over the weekend. Overall it's a great cozy little house with a fire place, the woods were provided by the owner. We will definitely recommended and come back again. Now to the small things that needs to be address. The main bedroom's blind needs to be replace, it was broken and won't shut all the way. The pillows and blankets needs to be upgraded. The blanket were thin and it gets cold at night during the winter season. Luckily we brought our own blanket. There are heaters but it takes a long time to heat up the room. The fireplace was great but with a small cigarette lighter, it's hard to start up the fire. Luckily I learn a few skills to start a fire with little to no tools. The grilled wasn't clean properly, it was only scrap down from the top and slide back. The dish soap needs an upgrade to Dawn, Palmolive just won't do the job. It's the little things that needs to be address. Overall, everything was great!
