Great location in Sea Ranch!
The house was a little dated, but the location, scenery and deck looking out to the ocean completely made up for it! The beach was also only a short walk away. The check-in was super easy and it had all of the necessities stocked.

Great dog-friendly house
We had an enjoyable stay at the Thayer house this week. As other reviewers have noted, some of the decor is a bit dated, but it's nicely appointed and in a great location. I appreciated being able to bring our dog along on our trip.

cozy retreat
We really enjoyed our stay.l The house is well located, ; with a fantastic view of the ocean and just a short walk to the beach. It's a nice house, well stocked kitchen for making meals. The showers are weird -- no real shower head; some of us liked the resulting strong spray but it's not for everyone. The only real complaint was the livingroom furniture was not all that comfortable. Still all in all, a great place.

We had a range of weather: a little rain, a lot of sun. Beautiful views. Yes, the interior of the house is a bit on the older side, but it is charming.

Love the rustic warm feel of the property. Close to the walking trails and small beach which was great with our dogs. You could hear the ocean waves throughout the day and night❤️ Brought our own spices and food to great family meals. Will be back again to relax and get away.

The house was even nicer than the photos. Beds very comfortable. Yes, it’s rustic, but it’s authentic Sea Ranch. Location was fabulous. We had some difficulties at check-in but the managers worked with us and all was resolved.

Great view, run down house
This is my second time trying to post this review, seems a little concerning that my first one didn’t post. Anyway, the view and location is amazing! However the house itself could use a little TLC. The beds are very old, and they’ve put a layer of foam on them to try and make it more comfortable. Everything is very creaky in this house, and it’s definitelt not for tall people. The shower hit me below my arm pit. For the price the view is pretty worth it, but they do make you pay a lot of extra fees. Two types of service fees and An additional rental fee is ridiculous, the totals of all these fees almost double the cost of the house to rent for a week.

property location is great. Only a few problems with the insides like AV system and bed frame
The management fee's and taxes were almost equal to the cost to rent the house for 4 nights. What's wrong with this picture Homeaway? There needs to be more upfront disclosure about total cost. Maybe, adjust them downward as well.

Lovely older home. Great ocean views!
The home was very comfortable! The home felt very well loved. Could use a little face lift. All was useable and the bed was very comfortable. The view was amazing! We enjoyed watching the sunsets. While we were there, we watched the Perseid Meteor Showers at night! There are so many millions of stars in the sky! So different than in the city! We had a very relaxing visit.

Rustic with amazing views of the ocean
Rustic with amazing views. A gently lived-in and loved house. Spent a lot of time just watching the ever-changing ocean from the west-facing deck and front windows. The weather was a bit cool when we were there, but the first floor heating worked well. The kitchen was well supplied, like an ordinary house, so we were able to prepare meals and wash dishes in the dishwasher. Minor issues: the window of the downstairs bathroom didn't open so there was no ventilation there. Also, the level of the larger beds is fairly high off the floor so that might be an problem for someone with mobility issues. A washer and dryer were available. There were a few games under the TV that the kids enjoyed. We did not turn on the TV so we cannot review that, however, the internet reception was good. The shade blinds mitigated the bright sunlight that came in during the late afternoon without blocking the view and the opaque blinds insulated during the night. Our main complaint would be that we should have scheduled more than the two nights that we were there. A great place for those who want to enjoy the northern California coast.

Rustic, lovely hide-away ... can't wait to go again!
Lovely place. Private and just a short walk to the bluffs and Pebble Beach and Smugglers Cove. Full sun in the afternoon, don't forget to bring your suntan lotion! The place itself is warm and has atmosphere. Great for relaxing and sampling the wines of Sonoma in the evening.

Peaceful property with amazing acess to the ocean
There are not many places that you can stay where you have an unbridled view and short walk down to a pebble beach from your front porch. Couple that with three bedrooms and a cozy common area, this is perfect for 5-6 people who want some time to unplug a truly beautiful place. The kitchen is not fancy, but certainly capable and we made full dinners for 6 easily. Mattresses could use a bit of updating and more cushions on the couch along the front window, but for the price this was a truly wonderful experience. Thank you!
