Lovely Oceanfront Getaway, Dog-Friendly, Private Hot Tub, & Shared Pool

Aloha House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

With high ceilings, large rooms and comfortable furnishings, this Sea Ranch home is quite new and well-planned. Designed by William Brunner and built by Brian Dixon in 1996, it is approximately 2,400 square feet.

The living room has a nice wood-burning fireplace and opens onto a spacious deck with spa. The large, well equipped and open kitchen/dining area makes for a relaxed cooking and dining experience. Two dogs are allowed!

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are perfect for up to eight guests. Please note: one king bedroom is connected to an office with a queen bed - the shared bathroom is accessed by walking through the queen bedroom. There are two more bedrooms that share a bathroom: one bedroom has two twins, and the other has a king.

Shell Beach is just a short walk away and you have great ocean views across a grassy strip of commons.

The Van Becker home lies on a meadowy cliff about 100 yards from the shore. Featuring a combination dining room and living area, the home is perfectly oriented to the landscape and the ocean. The light pines, unfinished woods, and Berber carpets impart a fresh, natural atmosphere. The centerpiece is the hot tub on the edge of the deck closest to the ocean.

This home is just right for that leisurely get-away you've been dreaming of for a long time. Watch that DVD you've been wanting to see. Read that book you've been meaning to get to. Play around with the piano (yes, the Van Becker home has a piano). Or just enjoy the hot tub, the view, the solitude, or any combination of the above!

good house for family get away
We enjoyed this oceanfront home for a family reunion. The view can't be beat. Beds were all comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. A few things need minor repair- gas grill, lower rack of dishwasher, and sink drain in front bathroom. Be careful of the cute tree frog that lives under the hot tub cover!

Wonderful waterfront home
We were a family of four adults and two children. We loved the spaciousness of this house, and the views of the ocean that mesmerized us all day long. Every night we watched shooting stars, and named constellations from the deck. The home is an easy walk to paths along the bluffs. We played golf, enjoyed the swimming pool, and we were awestruck by the chapel at sea Ranch. The home was the best equipped we’ve ever stayed in, especially the kitchen. And the mattresses were ideal for adult bodies. We hope to return again next year.

A very nice time at Aloha House
A really nice location with a great unobstructed view of of the ocean and quick access to the bluff trail. We really enjoyed that as well as the outside deck for relaxing outside. The Vacasa experience was also very good from booking to checkout. The house itself was clean and orderly upon arrival but I will say the house itself is looking a little rundown. The bathrooms and kitchen could use a little updating, particularly the fixtures. The under-sink cabinet door is falling off its hinges in one bath, for example. We saw some mold along the baseboards in the bathrooms. A larger refrigerator would be nice (the freezer handle is loose and feels ready to fall off). The kitchen utensil situation is just a hodgepodge of duplicate items collected over the years that should be pared down to the nicer essentials. The bedroom layout is a little odd, given none of them are truly en-suite. Don't get me wrong, we enjoy the classic funky Sea Ranch vibe, but I reserve 5 stars for the more nicely appointed homes (with newer modern fixtures). I would say this house is best suited for families with young children and pets.

This was our second time staying at this incredible Sea Ranch home. The views are incredible from the living spaces and deck and the home is spacious and well stocked with everything you need. This is our first choice for a place to stay in Sea Ranch.

Beautiful property, maintenance issues
Beautiful ocean view property, perfect for us and daughter’s family each to have our own wing of the house. Great kitchen for making meals/sharing memories. Must admit: maintenance issues: water took too long to get warm, if ever, faucet fell off, multiple windows stuck closed- yet, we all had the best week in this beautiful place.

There is a wonderful view - however the house needs updating in terms of cleanliness new carpets as they are heavily stained in areas. There is visible dust on the decorative items in the kitchen.

Great getaway for a group or family
This property was great to escape to for a weekend with a group of friends. The beds listed are present, but the queen bed is not in the same room as the twins - it is in an office area that is part of the master suite. The twins are in their own room, as is the second king.

Great view
Everything for our rental of Aloha House went smoothly — the check in process which was quite simple. we notified the property management agent that the hot tub was not performing well and the she immediately sent someone out to fix it. Very responsive. We did have a bit of trouble locking the house with the key. It needs to be adjusted Otherwise a great stay.

Some minor annoyances
Wonderful location. But there were some cleanliness issues: trash by the hot tub when we arrived; dirty and/or wet (not damp) bathroom rugs; pots and pans dirty; dishwasher not very effective. Ancient microwave. BUT-- spectacular location on the meadow, very quiet.

Great family getaway
This is the second time we rented this property for a family getaway. The location has a wonderful view of the ocean, with the sound of waves crashing on the rocks constantly in the background. Our entire family enjoys getting away from normal busyness and relaxing at this house.

Great trip, great property
Views are incredible. Very short walk to beaches. Very comfortable house and well appointed kitchen. As is mentioned in other reviews - must walk thru a bedroom from the master to get to bathroom. My kids stayed in that bedroom, so not an issue. Would stay in this house again.....just loved it!

Favorite house in Sea Ranch
We've stayed at 20+ houses in Sea Ranch, always like staying in a new house, this one is our probably our favorite! It has a great open layout so you can see the views from kitchen, dining, and living areas, and master bedroom. The other bedrooms didn't have views, but were still comfortable rooms. House was well stocked with everything we needed. It had unobstructed views of the ocean, and was far away enough from the path where people didn't wave at you while you're eating dinner. Hot tub was warm! The property management company Vacasa was very helpful as well. And we got to bring our two dogs! Thanks for letting us stay at your beautiful house!
