  We have stayed at this house at least 5 times over the last 20 + years. Everyone in our family loves it. It just keeps getting better over the years! We have stayed at many other homes in Sea Ranch, but this is by far our favorite.
  We love all the colors and how they play with the outdoors natural beauty.

  Getting away to The Sea Ranch area is always an fulfilled experience of the anticipation that precedes it. This experience was no exception. This residence had everything we could have desired. It was bright, cheery, clean with much light and flow-through air options. The kitchen came fully loaded with required appliances. The beds were comfortable yet different in each room, something to please both sleepers; one appreciating a firmer mattress then the other. I even took pictures of the landscape as I am preparing to redo my back yard and my friend enjoyed the wildlife.

  Pamela P from Mountain View, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We 4 (mom, daughter, son and son’s girlfriend) loved the chance to be
  in a home together for the Christmas holidays enjoying the living area,
  kitchen (we are all cooks...daughter, a cordon bleu chef), the visits from
  wildlife (especially a fox on our patio (son is a prof.wildlife photographer)
  and daily amazing hiking by the sea...We began renting at Sea Ranch in
  1979 and are happy with the preservation of so much seashore and
  wild stands of trees, respect for nature in the face of a development.
  Enjoyed all 5 nights/days and Christmas there. Only drawback was the
  inconsistent heat with the radiant floor heating...once someone came to
  restart the pilot light for that heater when we called but we were cold a lot there...luckily great thick quilts and blankets were plentiful. We loved the 2 wings/each with a bedroom and the loft for my mattress. Well designed home.

  This was the perfect place to celebrate a major birthday with my family. Plenty of room for 2 adults and one toddler. We enjoyed the colorful gardens, ocean views, and wildlife surrounding this rental home. Our weather was unexpectedly bright sunshine every day. The hot tub was a welcome relief after hiking the nearby bluff trails. The baby loved watching the many deer prancing in the meadow nearly constantly. Love the window seats and views of the soaring hawks from the loft. The layout of the kitchen was big enough for everyone to help prepare meals. Nice to have two sinks! The skylight in the second bedroom did drip onto one of our guests one night...from we found that keeping a window open for ventilation helped slow the drip. So nice to be able to park one car in the garage. We would definitely stay again....for longer than 4 days.

  It was a perfect location for a long weekend with the family. The weather cooperated to give us sunny days. The families of deer settled in on our yard, and the view was wonderful. We love this area because it is a short walk to the beach.
  
  The house was well laid out with room for everyone. The window seat was very popular with everyone! The kitchen was well stocked with eveything we needed to enjoy some nice meals.
  
  One afternoon we got some BBQ tri-tip from the Surf Market, a family tradition. We took it to Shell Beach and enjoyed dinner with a sunset and our friendly harbor seals.
  
  I highly recommend this house.

We had a lovely, relaxing dinner at the "lodge"- our server & the staff accommodated our large family with ease in the casual dining area ( 6 adults & 6 children.) The food & service was wonderful!!
  We have already recommended Sea Ranch & the management co. to several friends and plan to return!

  For me there is no better place to escape to re-charge my batteries. This year my family was able to squeeze in a few days stay before Christmas. This house has beautiful ocean views and is steps away from my favorite section of Sea Ranch trails. This trip we hiked the trails to Whale Point near Gualala and climbed to the top of the Pt. Arena Lighthouse to watch the whales play. The kitchen is well stocked. We had fun baking Christmas cookies next to a roaring fire. I highly recommend this house whose open layout in the main area of the house encourages spending time together.

  We had a wonderful stay. The house is quite close to the Bluff Trail. House is full of sunlight and beautiful both during the day and at night. The kitchen is quite well stocked and easy to cook in. The only negative thing I have to say is that the heating went out and the first couple of mornings we were there were cold. Beach rentals got a plumber out there the first day but it took a couple days to get things fixed.

  We loved the Brown Hansen house for many reasons. The location is our favorite at Sea Ranch. It is a short walk to the bluff trail and the view is spectacular. In the past we have rented other homes in this location and found this home to be very cozy and comfortable. The landscaping and outdoor patio and courtyard are beautiful. We kept the birdbath clean and full of fresh water and were rewarded by visits from wildlife every day. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. The weather was so perfect we ate every single meal outside on the patio and thoroughly enjoyed the sweeping ocean view.

  Vicki W from Redmond, WA recommends this vacation rental

  We have been coming to The Sea Ranch for over 30 years and it is always the most relaxing vacation. The Brown-Hansen house was wonderful. The kitchen was well-outfitted with lots of dishware and other cooking items. They had lots of books to choose from if you wanted to read. It was close to bluff and meadow walks and had fairly close access to beaches. The hot tub was quaintly surrounded by a protected garden teaming with flowers. There was lots of wildlife to enjoy with deer, foxes, hummingbirds,hawks and even a visiting skunk. The design of the house easily allows two suite-like sides of the home so it is perfect for two couples, although the loft with the extra TV would allow a space for youth to hangout. We had a fabulous time cooking, walking, playing games, reading, watching movies, and of course animal watching and relaxing just watching the meadow and the blue-water view. We liked that it was smok-free and pet-free. Two negatives - the beds were on the hard side and there isn't a sunset view. Otherwise, we loved it and would rent this home again.

  Sean C from Sacramento, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We had such a good weeklong stay celebrating my 40th birthday with our three young daughters at Brown-Hansen. It's a 5-minute walk to Shell Beach and Tide Pool Beach. It's also a very short drive to Gualala. We took a couple day trips to Gualala Point Regional park and the girls had a blast searching for driftwood on the beach there. Don't be afraid to bring groceries along. The home has a well-stocked kitchen, which we used to cook all but 2 of our meals. The home is beautiful and yet cozy and comfortable (i.e. we didn't have the sense that our young children were going to break something expensive at any minute). We chose Cove Azul for my bday dinner. If I had it to do again, I would have gone to Trinks. We had lunch there and we really enjoyed the food and vibe there. We had one problem with the central heating and called the property managers who were professional and apologetic. Within ten minutes, the owners Bob and Sue had called us and helped us get it resolved. Really kind people.

  We've been coming to Sea Ranch with ourkids for over 10 years and have stayed at Brown Hanson four or five times. It is just the right mix of casual while also having everything you need. Some of the rentals we stayed in our so sparsely furnished and have so few kitchen utensils it feels like the Grinch was there before us. Brown-Hansen immediately welcomes you and makes you feel comfortable whether you are staying a few days or few weeks. We love it.

  We rented this great home for a family Christmas Holiday.
  We were travelling from Philadelphia and rented the house never having seen it before. Our adult children, who live in Napa and San Francisco, joined us there for the week.
  
  The Rental Agency Staff performed solidly. Good advice was given via phone and emails.
  
  The home was wonderful. Great views. First class design, architecture, and appointments. Superb kitchen. MCM furniture was nice quality and comfortable. Homey, too. Beds were comfortable. First rate outside areas, landscaping. The house was clean and it was well maintained.
  
  Needless to say, we had a great time at The Sea Ranch.
  
  We would certainly rent this home again and thank the owners for making it available to us.

  Overall a beautiful home; wonderful gardens, great spa, ocean views from a restful patio, roomy house with fun loft/game room, lots of different lighting options. We had a great stay. For future guests we would recommend bringing your own cooking spices and plastic bags/foil as the kitchen didn't have these.

  There are reasons why we've driven over 800 miles from our home to stay at the Brown-Hansen house about eight times over the past decade or so--it's a wonderful, comfortable house in a great location in The Sea Ranch; the décor and furnishings are very nice; the private garden with hot tub is amazing; and everything is spotlessly clean, well-equipped and well-maintained. We've enjoyed every single minute there, and plan to return!

  This was our second stay in Brown-Hansen, the last was in 2003 and the house has held up beautifully. Well stocked with cookware, the kitchen is a great place to cook a meal wile you enjoy the beautiful serene views out the many windows that face the meadow. Out those windows we saw much wildlife, including deer, fox, bats and many birds. The only drawback to our stay in the home was the very sticky front gate. Otherwise lovely house. Great for families.

  We had a wonderful time in this perfectly located house. It was just a few minutes walk to the cliff side trail. The carefully designed and furnished house afforded the five of us great privacy and great shared time. We love to cook and were delighted to find everything that we needed to prepare our meals. The wildlife was especially active during this trip. We sighted many deer, harbor seals and their pups, as well as, a bobcat and an oyster catcher. Just perfect.

  I have been coming to Sea Ranch with my family since the kids were babies. Now they are off to college so it is very special when we can all get together and escape to Sea Ranch together. This particular house stood out from the rest. Not only was the location wonderful (withing walking distance of the tide pools and amazing beaches), but I loved the open layout of the house. The amenities were of higher quality than most and I appreciated the Southwest/modern decor. The mattress in the master bedroom was actually better than the mattress I have at home! And the jets in the hot tub were nice and powerful. I am definitely putting this house on the top of my list. The only problem is that it is so relaxing and cozy, you don't want to leave...

  We first stayed at Brown-Hansen about 10 years ago and not much has changed--which is good. The home is well appointed and spacious. It differs from other homes we've stayed at in The Sea Ranch in that the owners are comfortable sharing their art, comfortable furnishings and quality beds with guests. Other homes we've stayed in lack the personal touch that Brown-Hansen offers.

  We loved Brown-Hansen House at Sea Ranch.
  We liked the layout so the kids were on one side of the house.
  The hot tub got a lot of use!
  Only a few minutes walk to shell Beach.
  We loved seeing the deer right outside.
  100s of books were there, we brought our own but it was a nice addition.
  
  It would be nice if there was a propane BBQ but we made it through with the Weber!
  The only other need would be some new knives so if you cook a lot and need to cut you might want to bring your own.
  We will probably rent again every year!!

  In a nutshell: this is a great house to rent. We speak from experience as we have rented at least 30 different houses at TSR over the past 14 years. This house is definitely in the top five. Besides being well appointed and very comfortable, it is in a great, wind protected location (we ate breakfast in our shorts on the back patio in Feb.) that is within walking distance of the seal rookery, and the Olsen rec center. Easy to ride your bike from. Wife loved the kitchen. Only minor gripe was hot tub motor ran too much-staff is looking into that and I am sure it will be fixed before the next renters check in.

House is spacious for several people, or cozy for just two (+ 2 pups). Splendid views of the ocean and meadow . Thx for the experience!

  This house has a lovely view of the meadow and is very close to the Shell Beach trail. This beach seems to be a little quieter than ones further north. The rooms are comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped- if anything it could use a little editing. We love to cook and had everything we needed, including a working barbecue. The house is surrounded by hummingbirds and bluejays and there were lots of deer grazing nearby at all hours. A very restful and beautiful spot. Also it was perfect for our dog who could lounge around outside in the courtyard or in the garden without having to worry about her wandering off. We will definitely be back.

  Positives: The house has a well equiped kitchen and an open floor plan so good for a family with a dog. Great view of a variety of wildlife from the dining room/kitchen and upstairs loft. One of the cleanest homes I've rented. Loves the tile floor in the main areas.
  Cons: Check kitchen pots/pans dishes. The guests before us put them away dirty. That was gross. The blender was leaking oil so we has to throw it out - time for a new blender. Minimal privacy those staying in the loft.
  Overall has a great experience.
