Lovely house with some nice views from the living room & loft. Kitchen is well equipped, grill works, everything was clean. Hot tub is large & works; though we wished it had a view towards the ocean instead of being walled in by wooden fence. Centralized forced air heating is dated but works. Couldn’t use the fireplace because no kindling/axe is provided. Also, the pile of firewood outside was not covered properly since the tarp had holes and at any rate was blown off during the rain storm. we like the fact that it is close to a trail and the ocean is not far away to walk to.

Hot tub was clean, hot, and well located. Kitchen was fairly well equipped- additional specific items like temporary Tupperware type storage containers, plastic wrap, and aluminum foil are BYO. House location was perfect for view and trail access.

Pros Kitchen has everything you need.There is a trail directly behind the house that leads to the bluffs nearby.The house was clean upon our arrival.Ocean view off back porch.Cons:Hot tub jets are super weak.The clothes dryer does not work.The master bed sags in the middle.The check in process was so co.bersome. having to take pictures of your ID then get authorization to send confirmation pictures of yourself. I had to almost beg via email to get check in instructions.The parking area in front of the house has very little rock. It appeared as someone had just mowed the entire area the day we arrived amd this made it nearly impossible not to track in loose grass even when lea ing shoes outsside the front door.

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!

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.

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.
