Pet-Friendly Designer Oceanfront 3B House with King Beds & Hot Tub & Outdoor Kit

10/10 Excellent
"This is a wonderful property. The home was impeccable. Fully stocked with paper and laundry products. Amazingly organized! Loved the Toto washlets in each bath. Great location. Near grocery and restaurants. What topped everything was the VIEW! Absolutely amazing! Walk into the living room and be prepared to say “WOW”I would highly recommend."

"We have been visiting Irish Beach for the last 46 years and stayed in 23 different properties. The Shalimere is one of our favorites. We have stayed here many times and will do so again. The open floor plan is great and the view is even better. The fact that it is a dog friendly house is a huge plus for us, the deck is completely contained so our dog could run free and we didn’t have to worry about him. They provide bowels, covers for the couch, and even a large crate for those that crate their furry friends. Ocean view from the hot tub and deck. Plenty of wildlife to look at too. Awesome!"

Sea Drifter – Stunning Home for 6 in Sea Ranch

10/10 Excellent
"A previous renter wrote a less than flattering review in June regarding a broken microwave, torn window screens and malfunctioning stove. Concerned, I contacted the owner who assured us all the stated issues were fixed. Upon arriving, we were impressed with the “prosumer” Viking stove, very nice inverter microwave, and the well furnished and overall modern kitchen. The house was clean and did not smell, the rooms were comfortable and nicely furnished. The courtyard was comfortable. The rear deck had a clean hot tub for relaxation after a day of hiking and biking. The front parking area had more than enough room for two midsized SUVs. The location was strategically convenient with Gualala and the SR Lodge being easily accessible either by car or hike/bike. Overall, we had a wonderful and relaxing stay celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday. We definitely would consider renting Sea Drift again."

"We had such an amazing stay at the Moon Star Cottage! The cottage was absolutely beautiful, with the most incredible views, and it was stocked with everything we could possibly need. The host was also wonderful; so kind, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our stay. They checked in to make sure everything was going well and even let us check in early, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely love to come back!"
