  Our experience at the Tin Roof was unparalleled. The unique layout of the house with open space concepts, the warm sunny courtyard, and the proximity to the ocean made it an unforgettable experience.

  We loved our family time at the Tin Roof. The expansive ocean views were unexpected and appreciated. .The house is designed perfectly to bring the outdoors in. The courtyard was full of lovely plants and perfect for our little dogs. It was clean and we had everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

  Love the Obie Bowman architecture. Great location. The interior needs updating.Furniture in living room outdated not comfortable. Difficult to find switches for lighting, a bit confusing. Entrance sliding wood door heavy and difficult to open. Chair or bench needed in upper master bedroom. Simple folded luggage racks needed in closet.Garden is neglected needs editing.

  We loved our recent stay with friends, family and our pups. The architecture and location of the house are amazing, close to oceanfront trails and unimpeded views of the ocean. We loved to gaze at the ocean and view wildlife from the living room. But what was best was the incredible vibe that we felt. The house was so welcoming. We could tell that the owners love this house and love having visitors enjoy it. Highly recommended!

  Robert N from El Dorado Hills, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Wonderful. As others have mentioned, the layout is not for everyone, though it worked well for us with our two older teenagers sleeping in (and enjoying) the guest house. The outside is unique style, the inside is lots of substance. One continually notices some new feature or artwork, and everything is very nice. The most well-stocked kitchen we've encountered here (20+ yrs)...and it might not be close. So many surprises; sharing two here, the rest to be discovered - lots of (incl dimmered) lighting, and (though we prefer wood as a rare treat) the gas fireplace is the best we've seen. Re: dogs, the (nice, colorful, and roomy) courtyard is enclosed but - for awareness though not an inconvenience - it's a low (~2ft) wall on the ocean side, where you will sit for hours for that view. We went in with reasonably high expectations, having been aware of this house for 25 years and seeing the pictures, and still left pleasantly surprised. Beach Rentals was, as usual, fantastic and responsive.

  We truly enjoyed this beautiful property. A few suggestions for the future: Moore hand and face towels in the main house, a spray nozzle on the kitchen sink, check the pipe under the kitchen sink. The pipe under the small sink was loose and leaked. We are handy and were able to repair it With simple tools on hand.

  Sea ranch rental office welcomed us so nicely! They gave us mini flash lites and gave our dog a treat. It was so nice to check in with them. They are so nice there.
  The house was exactly as it is described. The beds were comfortable. We could be at the beach in less than ten minutes.
  The last day is rained. So we put on the fireplace and checked out the awesome library of books in the house! Great assortment!
  We played cards too.
  The large windows let you see the whales and deer crossing! And maybe a raccoon!
  You can tell that the owners take special care of their home and we tried to treat it like it was our own home too.
  We will be back. ❤️

  Robert K from Los Angeles, California recommends this vacation rental

  An amazing and well-stocked kitchen, but the oven was inexplicable, the stove was cumbersome to light and keep on low and the coffee pot was crusted with years of use. The master bedroom open to the kitchen is not for everyone. The guest house does not work for two couples as every noise travels up and down stairs. The blocks in the courtyard are uncomfortable to walk across bare foot. The dead plans in pots and the dead tree at the entrance should be removed, as should the Chlordane, Malathion and Roundup in the shed. The dining and living room areas are light and delightful.

  • Manager Responded on 11/4/2023

    We would like to thank the renter for their comments about the house. We have checked the stove and it seems to be working fine. We did get a new coffee pot and thank you for letting us know about the condition of the old one. Yes, the open bedroom may not be for everyone. It is best for a couple instead of a group. If there is a group, the cottage bedrooms are available. Again the open stairwell does allow for noise to travel up and down the stairs. We have had a gardener remove the dead plants and tree in the garden. All chemicals have been removed as well. Thank you from the owner and Beach Rentals

  Claudia W from San Francisco, CA recommends this vacation rental

  My Husband and I had a really good time in this unusual house. The outdoor deck area has a great view and we had all of our meals outside while viewing the ocean, you do however need shoes when walking on that surface. The house is a very open floor plan, so if you are trying to sleep and someone is in the kitchen, it can be a little noisy. The appliances are a little complicated but we managed. Beach Rentals ,as always, were very helpful and friendly.
