Hot tub was warm enough. Kitchen could use more spices; there was only salt and pepper. It also needs aluminum foil and cling wrap for leftovers.

Loved the peace and quiet, view from kitchen, and the recliner. Super to be able to walk from the house to the trails along the ocean bluffs. Clean, comfortable home with great counter space in bathroom.

Everything was wonderful! Saw deer and foxs in yard is always a bonus at Sea Ranch. The hot tub was hot but we needed to add water and some jets don’t work. I also had little difficulty getting verified which was over looked by me. The host were excellent and walked me tru the process at last minute.

Cozy

Great location near the trail. House is sited well. Best for quiet groups. Interior and front door are have a cozy 90s vibe in contrast to theexterior, but the house is well designed. Feels more authentic Sea Ranch than the mansions to the north.

A nice stay in Sea Ranch

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at the Albatross House. The hot tub was nice, fire logs were provided, and it overall met our expectations. Sea Ranch is a love area and we'd love to return in the future!

Pelicans, seals, irises, poppies, bluff walks

Overall a great place, ideal location near rec center and bluff trail. Two complaints: really uncomfortable bed and living room set up for TV watching but not for reading — only one reading light.

Short Stay at Albatross

This is an excellent place in a great location close to the ocean, trails and recreation center (walking distance). The place has a great layout and is as depicted on the website. Kitchen has all appliances and tools needed for preparing home cooked meals. Hot tub on/off button was jammed but can be easily operated via circuit breaker per owner guidance. Remember to bring matches and lighter and fire starter for the pot belly fireplace. Kindling and wood was provided. There is a store nearby in Gualala anyway if you need anything. Windows and doors had screens installed. Overall very good.

Recharging get away

The listing matches the property. There was only 3 of us. We loved the coziness and it is exactly what we wanted. Quiet and secluded. The beach is a 10 minute walk from the house, and plenty of drivable beaches close by. The mirrors in the master bedroom were awesome. Netflix and other streaming services wete great too. We had a great time. The only thing I would suggest is the hall door to master bedroom needs adjusting. The living room layout. It was perfect for 3 of us but with more it might be difficult to all watch a movie together. It was still perfectly perfect for us.

comfortable, sunny, well located

The house is great. It's close to trails that get you to the bluff, a short walk to the pool, has lots of sunny windows with views and we loved the hot tub and deck. The one thing to keep in mind: bring your own pantry basics. There was salt and pepper but no oil, no sugar etc. Also no alum foil or plastic wrap.

Perfect house for family trip

Albatross House was the perfect size for our extended family group of 4 adults and 2 kids. Location was amazing - the Bluff Trail that leads to spectacular ocean views is literally right behind the house and it was a real treat to be able to go running along this trail every morning. The Sea Ranch library is also nearby, in the Ohlson Ranch House, and we visited regularly. While the house is a little old, it is very clean. The carpet is new and the hot tub and range are newer than shown in the pictures. The hot tub worked well and we used it daily. The kitchen is nicely equipped, but one thing to know is that no consumables are provided, not even coffee or cooking oil. However, it's easy to buy supplies at the supermarkets in Gualala 10 minutes away. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again.

Exactly as expected

Our family of four was perfect for this house. It was clean, had a great view, the sky at night was mesmerizing. So many trails, beaches, pools/spas to choose from. The town of Gualala is magical. Wish we stayed longer.
