The only criticism I have is that the furniture was well used and very soft. The rest was wonderful.. the bed I slept in was really firm. Couldn’t figure out the oven though. Beautiful ocean views. Numerous light wildlife to watch through huge picture glass windows.

Everything was lovely and clean. The garden was perfect for our little dog. He loved running around sniffing every plant. I wish I’d had about a week or more to relax there myself. We didn't use the guest house but we looked at it and it’s very sweet! I love the gas fireplace so much. Excellent chef’s kitchen. Bed was very comfortable! The only thing missing is a stereo system, soundbar or something similar for music. Wide view of water across a short meadow.

Fabulous location and unusual architecture

We loved the house and the location. The Sea Ranch is a wonderful area to stay, and the community is used to short term visitors so everyone is very friendly, as long as you play by the rules and are respectful of others. For those who want a place to be loud and have their dogs and kids run free, I’d recommend another community.The facilities at the lodge are so nice, and the restaurant is fantastic. One thing I’d do differently next time is that I’d plane for more time on the property. There are so many things to do, you could spend a week there and never get bored.

Amazing stay at a beautiful property

We loved our recent stay with friends, family and our pups. The architecture and location of the house are amazing, close to oceanfront trails and unimpeded views of the ocean. We loved to gaze at the ocean and view wildlife from the living room. But what was best was the incredible vibe that we felt. The house was so welcoming. We could tell that the owners love this house and love having visitors enjoy it. Highly recommended!

Happily Returned to Tin Roof

The is was a three week retreat at Sea Ranch and second time at Tin Roof. We love the location with views of the ocean and wildlife (deer, fox, and birds)that roam the bluff. The house is spacious and comfortable with a large, well stocked kitchen. We love to cook and had most of our meals at home. The appliances take a bit of getting used to and could, at some point, be replaced. Our niece stopped by for a couple of days and loved the separate quest quarters. The bed was a bit hard and creaky? The courtyard was beautiful and private. Tin Roof has everything needed and more to enjoy a wonderful Sea Ranch vacation. We have already booked our next trip to Tin Roof.

Perfect Sea Ranch weekend

Tin Roof is a perfect stay showing both the style and ascetic of a Sea Ranch home. Great design and style. Well appointed kitchen thats ready for cooks. Loved the spaces indoors and out. Will definitely recommend.

Spring Break Get-a-way

Great house! Very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well stocked. Nice and quiet, as it is located off the highway. Beautiful ocean and meadow views from every room and window. Loved the architecture of the house as well. We have already booked our next visit to “Tin Roof”.
