Location is everything
We love the location of this rental and that’s why we booked it again. It’s a comfy house, and short walk to the bluff trail and trails onto the ridge. We enjoy the unobstructed view out over Walk On Beach, in fact our last evening we watched whale spouts for about an hour, sitting out on the deck in the sunshine. There are a few things that need TLC here, but nothing that detracted significantly from our stay. We so appreciate vacation homes that allow our K9 kids!

Relaxing getaway
It was just as we had hoped and imagined. The location was amazing, and the hot tub was so private. We couldn’t figure out the fireplaces, but thankfully it wasn’t very cold while we were there. I’d suggest there be more clear and accurate directions on how to use them. We’d stay again for sure

Needs TLC
I've been renting at Sea Ranch since 1995, fyi. The living spaces of the home were cleaned and the beds were comfortable. Some TLC and attention to some basic deferred maintenance would easily upgrade the quality of this home. - Screen doors - kitchen cabinet repairs - dishwasher ( needs wheels on the lower rack and the rubber seal needs repair - the one screen door is thick with dirt/ mold around the door and the screen is torn. - window hardware on multiple windows (broken) - caution tape around the hot tub enclosure was concerning and unsightly. - the temperature setting for the hot tub did not adjust, the light and jets did not function. - dish washing soap and a sponge/ scrubber are usual supplies provided. There were none. A renter should not have to spend vacation time calling the management/host with a list of repairs ( unless there is a true emergency).

bad smell
very nice neighbor and location / clean hot tub water but it smelled bad like an old antique shop. It seems to be the smell of mold.

Nice location but house needs some love
This is a pretty place with a lovely open floor plan and lovely views of the meadows with the sea beyond. Also, it has a very comfortable master suite. But the house is in need of upkeep. There a are broken screens, a poorly functioning dishwasher, and malfunctioning blinds and some windows that don’t open. And it was lacking in basic essentials— such as spoons, utensils, glasses and cups, a decent sized skillet and dish towels, simple inexpensive items that people who want to cook for themselves (rather important in a fairly remote location) expect to find. This is a place you want to like and perhaps we would have if the price were cheaper and we knew in advance that we needed to bring our own supplies.

Old in need of much work
The home layout was nice, but is in serious need of work. It appears some work over time was done, but it was very poorly done in the master bath. Wood trim in a wet area is a sin, and molds. Kitchen cabinets are far past their life expectancy. Window crank are d and don't work well. Kitchen plates silverware and other uticles were scant. We made work. But for the rental cost we expected better

Very disappointing
I have stayed in numerous vacation rentals at Sea Ranch and this was by far the worst! I had a bad feeling as got to the front door and there bits and pieces of trash on the outside and the building looked unkept. When i walked inside it smelt of dirty socks and the large windows were filthy both inside and out obviously not washed for months. There were water stains on the wood paneling, the main bathroom had black mold on the glass panel enclosing the shower. What window screens there were were torn and ripped. The living room slider did not even have a screen to keep flys out. I could go on. It was clearly bot taken care of nor worth the price. I left early due to a power outage. I did speak to Vacasa and the person i spoke to said he could come out and hose off the windows. But seemed silly at that point as the entire place needed a major cleaning. Had issues with wifi password. Hottub finally heated up. I paid over $400 in “fee’s” that should be refunded due to the non disclosure of the uncared and dirty home.

Absolutely cannot recommend this house to anyone
My husband surprised me with a 3 night getaway at this house- had I been the one searching, I likely would have passed on it based on the negative reviews, but my husband has never made a vacation rental booking and did not check them. I was expecting a dated home, as others have said, but this place just made me mad. I wish I could post pictures. I can handle outdated, but an uncared for, beat up house is another. The kitchen cabinets are original, never updated- grimy and barely hanging on (mind you, this house is probably about 50 years old). The furniture throughout was scuffed, scratched, broken, and worn out with peeling/bubbled up surfaces-with one of the once fancy, upholstered chairs now sitting on the floor with the legs broken off and the chair skirt sitting in a pile around it. The living room furniture is covered in fairly new slipcovers but one glance at the shredded sofa underneath (which is visible from anywhere in the room) I got a bit grossed out thinking about what was under. The master bedroom bed was old and worn out with flat, hard pillows and worn sheets. The deck outside had 4 plastic dining chairs, with one broken, as the only outdoor furniture that we were expected to use to enjoy the view. I could go on and on... Housekeeping was also a problem. My husband found a pair of men's briefs sitting on a chair next to the hot tub. Clearly, nobody has checked on the hot tub to make sure of it's cleanliness if the underwear went unnoticed so a little bummed about the extra hot tub charge as we obviously did not use it. There was also a broken glass on the shelf with shattered glass all over the shelf and with shards found inside of 2 other glasses; a flower arrangement was on the back deck that had probably been dead for weeks and why it had not been thrown out by housekeeping, I cannot imagine, In the kitchen there was a sponge, but nothing capable of scrubbing a pot with, so we found 2 pots in the cupboard covered in large amounts of dried-on food which was absolutely disgusting. And, not one dish towel in the house to dry a dish with... I did complain heartily to Vacasa in Gualala and to their credit, they credited us a night, but nobody should have to complain in order to be treated properly, as this house should not even be on the rental market. I laughed at the sign posted on the wall where you enter which asked guests to please remove their shoes... I mean as if the owners actually cared.

A favorite place to stay
This was our first time at Samson Getaway, and we rate this as our favorite house at Sea Ranch (we've been renting places up here for about 30 years). It is comfortable, we like the layout of the house, nice furniture, comfortable beds, good lighting -- we love having real reading lamps! Great view, perfect location for us. Thank you for being pet-friendly!!
