Ideal forest Sea Ranch place

This place is the best. The sunken living room and built ins make for an extremely cozy hanging-out area, and the fireplace is incredible for nights and cold times. The highlight of the place is the view, you can see the ocean super clearly and the sun sets right between the trees flanking the two sides of the creek. Incredible place! Comfy beds, clean hot tub, basically perfect

Amazing spot

The place is amazing. To be in the forest with ocean views! I was very grateful the management company called me before the stay to remind me about bringing towels and sheets. I’ve never had to do this the the reminder was very appreciated. I can’t wait to come back.

Peaceful tranquility.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were so impressed. This home is tucked into the redwoods with an amazing view of the ocean. We felt a sense of home immediately. Everything was clean and well stocked. The home was open and cozy at the same time. My only complaint.. wish we stayed longer. We didn’t want to leave. We would rent this home again.

Lovely stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 5 had a lovely stay at Amar El Mar. It was our first stay in Sea Ranch and we can’t wait to go back. The house had everything we needed, and then some. Location seemed great - super close to the lodge, Moonraker, and Black Point Cove (wonderful beach). It felt like living in a tree house, while only a short drive from the beach. Absolutely magical. Would absolutely recommend this place and stay again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the seclusion, swooned over the ocean view. The house was perfect for our getaway. We loved all the trees and wildlife around the home. We had a perfect ocean view and we were able to see whales 🐳 frolicking. The home had an amazingly well appointed kitchen. We spent most of our time on the deck soaking in the peace and quiet. Would highly recommend this home.

Amazing private rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’ve stayed in several Sea Ranch houses over the years, and this was easily one of my favorites. The location feels so private and like you’re truly deep in the forest, surrounded by trees—while still being only a short drive from the beach and with a stunning ocean view. The house was super comfortable for six people (three couples)—each room felt private, with adequate bathroom space as well. The deck is huge and the hot tub worked perfectly. I think the highlight was the kitchen—it was unbelievably well equipped with every tool and small appliance you could want. We cooked every night and never ran into anything the kitchen didn’t have that we needed. There were also basic pantry and baking items (flour, sugar, olive oil, etc.) and some basic spices. Plenty of parking as well! Our favorite activities were visiting Annapolis Winery just up the hill, and spending time at Black Point Beach. The house is also super close to the lodge and access to the Sea Ranch trail system along the bluffs. All our communication with the rental company was great, and it was easy to pick up keys after hours. We paid for linen service and there were plenty of towels and extra blankets. I could not recommend this place more, especially for a family or small group!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I love the Sea Ranch area and appreciated this property in particular because it is such an original example of the traditional Sea Ranch style. The deck was amazing, we enjoyed sunny lounging each afternoon. Also loved the views of the ocean from almost every room.
