    Janet F from Oakland, California recommends this vacation rental

    We had a wonderful time at Charlie's Retreat with 3 generations of 2 families. The view is lovely and the kids had a ball being so close to the pool. The kitchen is wonderfully supplied with every dish and utensil you could want. Having ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom made it easy to share the house with 8 people.

    Cornelia B from Bend, OR recommends this vacation rental

    We loved the house it is beautiful and in a superb location next to the rec center It is fully equipped and sleeps 10 quite comfortably. We had a severe storm that weekend and lost power but they had a generator and this saved us. We would rent again in a heartbeat.

    Nicholas M from San Anselmo, California recommends this vacation rental

    We had a lovely time at Charlie's Retreat. Location was fantastic (short walk to the bluff trails and just across the street from the Del Mar Rec Center), the house was incredibly well-stocked, and the rooms were very comfortable. We very much appreciated the ready-instructions for anything that was not intuitive. All in all, Charlie's Retreat was a DREAM and we felt very fortunate to enjoy the week there.

    a guest from Redwood Valley, California recommends this vacation rental

    4 couples, 2 kids, and everyone found something to do and fun to be had. Hosts provided many kitchen basics, which was helpful. Towels, linens, beds, and furniture all comfortable and high quality. The books and games were another plus. Thoughtful hosts. And the Sea Ranch rec options also enjoyable--sauna, pickleball, swimming, and of course the ocean. Highly recommend. Front entry stepping stones only minor gripe--having a sprained foot, I found them challenging to navigate. All else lovely.

    Gloria F from Sebastopol, CA recommends this vacation rental

    Oven needs replacing! On it's last leg. Could not read the temp control or mode dials & inside very dark. Outside fire pit would not light. Patio heaters did not work. Espresso maker not working. South bathroom toilet backed up & had to be snaked two days in a row. Electrical outlet in south bedroom could not be used. Screen door off south bedroom would not open. Screen door from dining area to back deck very hard to open. Nice house, great floor plan with lots of light, clean linens, plenty of cooking utensils, dishware, new gas cooktop & dishwasher.
    Rental agency very pleasant to work with. I would recommend this property to a friend if I knew the oven was replaced.

    Janell H from Novato, California recommends this vacation rental

    Home was lovely with beautiful appliances and cookware and beds were very comfortable and great built in bunks for kids. Our one challenge was the lack of counter space for cooking and the limited seating in the living room for movie watching. View was lovely and dining table was great for the family. Home was very clean and appreciated the decorative details. Always a great stay at the Sea Ranch

    a guest from Cambridge, Massachusetts recommends this vacation rental

    Wonderful home and location. Vacation homes aren't always as good in reality as they are in the photos, but Charlies Retreat did not disappoint. Its a short walk to the trail heads and even short walk to Del Mar rec center - a huge plus. It's also quite private - we never saw a neighbor while there. The interior is exactly as pictured and though the renovations are older they were clearly well done/timeless and the furniture has mostly been updated making the house feel very fresh and high end. It's filled with interesting books and the kitchen is extremely well stocked. The fireplace was not working while we were there and the outdoor fireplace overlooking the ocean looks like it's seen better days, but otherwise the house was immaculate. We would absolutely return and loved our stay there!

    Bay Area Global H from Alexandria, VA recommends this vacation rental

    6 Stars! I don’t normally give detailed reviews, but I’ve stayed in many Sea Ranch rentals and this is far and away the best. We were a house of 8 people for a team meeting – all with comfortable beds and enough space to host 12 for dinner. The house was spotless, bright, and sunny, and the open living/dining/kitchen area was perfect for relaxing with a book, looking out at a stunning view, and entertaining nearby friends. Beds were extremely comfortable – note two bunk rooms with a top bunk that was actually cozy. The kitchen is better stocked than my own home with all the cookware and serving utensils I needed, including a Breville Expresso Maker which churned out the best home coffee I’ve had in a long time! The location is excellent – calming views of open grassland with the ocean in the background, just a 7 mins walk down to the coastal trail, across the street to morning yoga, swimming, and tennis through Del Mar Community Center and just a quick 5 mins drive to Gualala. It is hard to beat the comfort, cleanliness, views, and location of Charlie's Retreat. This is my absolute favorite Sea Ranch home away from home and it will be first on my list on my next visit.

    a guest from Ashland, OR recommends this vacation rental

    My family - spouse, two kids and spouses, three grandkids, spent a week at this home. It was everything we could have hoped, and as beautiful as the pictures online. The house is well planned and laid out for a lot of people. The furniture is comfortable and convenient. The kitchen is well-supplied. We did 100% of our cooking and eating at home and never ate out because we had two small children with us. The location couldn’t be better, with the swimming pool across the street and easy access to the coast, the cliffs, the beaches. We watched birds, wildlife (even foxes), and stars from the back deck and even from the living room. The Beach Rental staff was very friendly and helpful. It really could not have been better.
