We kindly request that you also do not allow your children to use ANY colored pens or permanent markers while staying at our house, as damages may be incurred and charges remitted to you. To avoid this, encourage games or engaging them through means that do not involve the use of pens, crayons, sharpies, or permanent markers unless you will be supervising them 100% of the time. Thank you.

BARKING/NOISE: Please don’t allow dog(s) to bark uncontrollably out of respect to quiet environment and neighbors.

LEASHED: Make sure your dog remains on leash at all times, on trails and while walking in the community (HOA Rule).

PICK UP POOP: Please clean up after your dog (we have had guests who have been lazy about this which is both disrespectful of the environment and other guests).
Per Section 6.6(d), each tenant or lessee must receive the following notice prior to occupancy:
“To protect wildlife and avoid nuisances, all dogs must be under the owner’s control at all times, and leashed when on the roads, trails, and other property owned by The Sea Ranch. Please minimize barking or howling, and always clean up after your dog. Violations are addressed by Sea Ranch Security (707-785-2701) or law enforcement. Rules 6.3 and 6.6.07 of The Sea Ranch Association.”

NOISE ORDINANCE:
Per Section 6.6(d), each tenant or lessee must receive the following notice prior to occupancy:
“The Sea Ranch Quiet Hours are between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. every day. Always, and especially during Quiet Hours, please conduct your indoor and outdoor activities in a prudent and respectful manner that will not be disturbing to your neighbors. Violations are addressed by Sea Ranch Security (707-785-2701) or law enforcement. Rule 6.6.03 of The Sea Ranch Association.”

We care a lot about maintaining good relationships with our community, so we appreciate you following our “house rules” during your stay. Violation of this Rule will result in a $500-1000 fine to the guest and immediate eviction.

GARBAGE: Bins are located in Wooden Enclosure in Garage. We pay for WALK-IN SERVICE, so trash just needs to be removed from the house and placed in the appropriate bins, Wooden Enclosure safely secured (from Raccoons).

* BLACK BIN is for garbage. We are restricted to a 32 Gallon Bin by Sonoma Recology.

Garbage pickup is Mondays AM (6-noon). What does not fit in Trash Bin Guests MUST TAKE WITH THEM, no exceptions. An additional charge of $25 will be remitted to Guests who leave extra exceeding bin capacity. Extra Garbage requires a 2nd bin that Host will need to let you into Garage to retrieve AND Recology will need to be notified no later than Friday. NO LOOSE Bags can be outside any bins or Recology will not pick it up. ALL BIN LIDS MUST BE ABLE TO CLOSE.

NO LOOSE GARBAGE is to be placed directly in bin as this will cause a nasty smell for other guests. Please use provided Garbage bags.

What does not fit in Trash Bin Guests MUST TAKE WITH THEM, home or deposit it at the Annapolis Transfer Station, 33549 Annapolis Rd., 5mi inland of Hwy 1, near The Sea Ranch.

* BLUE BIN is for plastic and glass only.

* GREEN BIN is for other recyclables (lid should close).

TEMPERATURE: The home’s central downtowns heater us on a schedule to reset on a schedule for energy conservation purposes and because guests tend otherwise to forget to turn it off, even when absent. Upstairs relies on wall heaters in bedroom and bathroom, though please remember to turn these off when you leave the house. Plenty of extra blankets are provided.

NEST PROTECT: There are Nest devices installed in bedrooms, hallways and kitchen that are legally required fire & carbon monoxide alarms with motion activated night lights that will gently light up when you walk by. The one in the kitchen has been known to go off when something is burning, and we will be alerted so may check in if this happens.

Citations can be upwards for $500-1000 (violation of HOA rules) and you will be held accountable for this. (No playing music while in the Hot Tub, out of respect for the neighbors). Our motto is ‘enjoy the wildlife, watch out for the neighbors’. We are committed to Renting Responsibly.

Amazing views
My wife and I stayed here over Thanksgiving. It was our first time staying on the hill side of Sea Ranch and we were concerned about the distance from the seaside trails. Turns out we worried for nothing because we had a great time in this impeccable home! Great views, very warm in the afternoon light. Well equipped and very comfortable.

Beautiful Sea Ranch getaway!
We have nothing but good things to say about this lovely property and our very gracious host! The home is impeccable, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. We enjoyed the ocean views from the upstairs and downstairs balconies, the cozy sunroom (great for reading and napping). The kitchen was great, and had everything we needed for meal prep during our stay. The hot tub was wonderful and relaxing on the last night of our stay.

Great place
Great Sea Ranch spot. It was the first time we stayed on the east side of Hwy 1. It was nice to switch things up, especially for the view this place has. Luckily there are a couple parking lots close by to get easy access to the Sea Ranch trail. Lovely deck, great layout, the place was very clean, and I would highly recommend it.

A wonderful property
The view! The house has big open floor plan with a great kitchen and dining room table. The chairs looking out to the ocean, the couch for the TV are all great. The beds were cozy and clean. Nice walk to the Ranch Cafe for morning coffee and pastry and easy access to Sea ranch trails for walking and beaches. Gualala and Stewarts point are both close for food, etc.

Sea Ranch Ocean Views
This property feels like a cabin in the redwoods with a view of the ocean. You can sit out on the deck, listen to the ocean waves, watch the deer and wild turkeys while sipping your coffee. We love to cook so we appreciated the full kitchen. The property is very private and quiet. We used the deck for our elopement and it was the perfect setting for the four of us.
