Albatross House
3.5 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (3)
"This is a very nice house in a good location. Most people would probably be happy with it. But it's different than the Sea Ranch houses we have rented at Sea Ranch over the decades. Though well equipped with dishware, there is not single spice (even salt and pepper), no foil or wrap, and a lack of useful items that you may not think of ahead of time. It feels a bit barren, and that was not helped when we asked for a later checkout and got a text back a few minutes later, even though it was late...

"Amazing property and retreat, just what we were looking for. Didn’t have signal so definitely come prepared with downloaded instructions and maps. WiFi works great. WiFi password initially said it was incorrect but just restarting the router did the trick. Kitchen fully stocked with herbs and spices and plenty of cookware, cutlery and even ziplock bags and foil. House is literally surrounded by woods and we saw plenty of deer. We loved it and will be coming back!"
