We recently stayed at this home in Sea Ranch, and unfortunately it was not as advertised. While the location is beautiful, several issues significantly impacted our stay.The biggest concern was the lack of privacy. The downstairs primary bedroom faces the public coastal walking path, and the blinds were broken, leaving the large windows uncovered. We had to stack pillows and chairs against the windows so people walking by couldn’t see us sleeping.The upstairs shower also lacked privacy. There is a window visible from outside with no curtain or privacy covering, and the shower itself has no door or curtain.There were also maintenance issues. Several window frames were damaged and began separating when we tried to open them. On top of that, many of the large picture windows were covered in dirt and salt buildup. The ocean views are the centerpiece of this home, so it was disappointing that they were so dirty you couldn’t fully enjoy them.Finally, the black furnace in the living room rattled and banged constantly whenever the wind picked up. Since Sea Ranch is known for windy conditions, this noise lasted throughout the night and was so loud we couldn’t even hear the TV.The location is amazing, but the lack of privacy, maintenance issues, dirty windows, and excessive furnace noise made this stay disappointing. I would not stay here again and hope these issues are addressed for future guests.
