Reviewer Comments:
We generally leave very positive reviews and were looking forward to a relaxing stay in Sea Ranch. Unfortunately, our experience was impacted by several issues.The biggest problem was a major tree-cutting and stump-grinding project taking place on the neighboring property throughout our stay. The noise was loud and continuous during much of the day, and there was a strong smell of gasoline and equipment exhaust. As a result, we were unable to comfortably enjoy the outdoor spaces, keep windows open, or fully relax. The disturbance was significant enough that we decided to leave a couple of days earlier than planned.We were also surprised by the bedroom and bathroom layout. The listing advertises 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, which led us to assume each bedroom would have convenient access to its own bathroom. Instead, one bedroom has two bathrooms connected to it, while guests using the other bedroom must go up and down two flights of stairs to reach a bathroom located adjacent to the other bedroom. We found this arrangement awkward and lacking privacy.The home itself has character and was reasonably well stocked. However, it was not as clean as we expected upon arrival, and there were bugs throughout the house during our stay.To be fair, the neighboring tree work was beyond the owner’s control. However, it had a substantial impact on our vacation and, had we known about it in advance, we likely would have chosen different dates or another property.Overall, the house has some appealing qualities, but between the neighboring construction activity, the unusual bathroom configuration, and the cleanliness concerns, the experience fell short of our expectations.
