  Like staying in a luxury "cabin" with indoor hot tub, spa-like shower, massive open kitchen, and beautiful furnishings and views. Kitchen could use sharp knives, a dish rack, and a few plastic containers, but that's it.

  Greatly enjoyed a long weekend at the Tin Roof. The accommodations are lovely, the kitchen is well stocked, and everything was truly fantastic. The house is very comfortable and welcoming, the views are breathtaking, the walks along the cliffs were amazing! I had been to Sea Ranch 10 years ago for a girls trip, and couldn't wait to go back with my sisters and husbands ~ we had a wonderful weekend get-a-way... Highly recommend this property ~

  This is the most beautiful house we have stayed in at Sea Ranch. It is an architectural and artistic gem with an ocean view and close proximity to bluff trails. The home is comfortable and offers a well appointed chef's kitchen and dining area. The beds are comfortable and linens fresh and soft. We loved staying there.

  Dianne T from So. Lake Tahoe, California recommends this vacation rental

  Tin Roof was a pleasure to spend a week at. Everything was as described. We rented the main house, as it was just the two of us. The kitchen was better stocked than any other vacation home we've ever rented. The cookware was in very nice condition. The bed was comfortable. There was an issue with the gas fireplace, but they're aware of it. While there did not seem to be a designated path from the house to TSRA trail leading to the bluff, there was one that appeared to be shared with the house next door. We recommend this house for a peaceful and relaxing stay.

  Lovely place, large and open, architecturally intriguing, beautiful enclosed courtyard. We were a party of two. Indoor spa tub nice but wish it was outdoors. Blue water view, meadow feel but no houses between you and the ocean. Much longer walk to edge of bluff than other oceanfront houses. Could not get gas fireplace to work. Second time we've stayed here, and fireplace did not work the first time either. We did wish the shower water was hotter.

  Wonderful stay; the home was beautiful, and the weather was perfect!! We did manage to lock ourselves out one time (after hours), but used the emergency number given by Sea Ranch Escape and had a new key within 20 minutes, delivered to us by an extremely nice gentleman named Ralph!

  Lawrence B from Newton, Massachusetts recommends this vacation rental

  A wonderful, thoughtfully designed house carefully sited to feel entirely isolated with neighboring houses within 20 feet on either side. Wrapped around a beautiful sun and flower filled courtyard featuring a gigantic 14ft x 24ft +/- framed opening focusing unimpeded views on the meadow and ocean beyond.
  Completely open plan with space flowing from living room, across dining area and kitchen island to master bedroom at far end. Fully equipped chef's kitchen. Views from all rooms framed to block views of all other close houses.
  A completely delightful, well equipped and well furnished house in a great location.
  This is our fifth rental at Sea Ranch and our favorite.

  Tin Roof was a great home to accommodate 3 couples, all family. We all enjoyed having separate sleeping spaces and getting together in the main home for meals,
  watching the wildlife, and visiting. Fortunately our home was near Shell Beach which we all enjoyed. And it is easy to hike north and south along the bluff trails.

  An extraordinary house with artistic touches and original architecture that contributed to a unique and enjoyable experience of staying in this particular rental property. We’ll equipped and tastefully decorated it is well above the average vacation rental. The protected yard had lovely vegetation as well as the view of the ocean.
  We had a wonderful experience. The guest house with two bedrooms is accessed through the yard so it could be chilly while walking there.
  Also there is no door to the master bedroom in the main house but it is in a separate area, however one can hear everything that’s going on in the living/kitchen area.
  It is a few minutes walk to Shell beach and the hiking trail is a across the meadow.

  This home right in the middle of The Sea Ranch is perfectly located. It’s very well appointed and perfect for either one couple if you just use the main house, but it also has a small guest house with two bedrooms. The interior courtyard is lovely and we were lucky enough to see whales from it. Quick walk to see lots of seals!

  Stephen E from Danville, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We really enjoyed staying at Tin Roof - great kitchen, good location. Well appointed. Two comments - It is setback from the bluff a bit, not quite oceanfront but not meadow either. Good separation from the bluff trail. Also, main house is nice, but the bedroom in that house is blended with everything else - so noise in kitchen, main roon is quite obvious. Only matters if two people are staying there and are on different evening/morning schedules. Separate guesthouse was perfect for our two adult children.

  John T from Antioch, California recommends this vacation rental

  Don’t get me wrong, we really enjoyed our stay at Tin Roof. The place was immaculately clean and orderly, yet comfortable and homey. We loved the original artwork and tasteful interior decor. And the kitchen was more than generously furnished with every tool and appliance a home-cooking chef could desire. I could go on: plumbing, lighting, heating, wi-fi, every utility worked well. So what gave us pause? The award-winning architecture. In the main building, the lines of sight from the common area (kitchen, living room) go directly into the upper bedroom area. There is no way to exit the shower, for example, without being fully exposed to those gathered below. And the shower steps are treacherously slippery and at an angle which requires careful planning to safety descend with out slipping and falling. Too, the ultra-wide-treaded wooden stairs that lead down to the common area are nearly impossible to distinguish, looking more like a ramp. To avoid missteps I placed a book at the wall edge of each tread to guide our feet down in the dim light. Over in the annex where there are 2 additional bedrooms, the descending shower stairs are also dangerously slippery, with one of our party having a fall, fortunately without injury. I would strongly recommend the addition of grip strips on all tiled stairs in this house. Finally, during our stay, two birds, larks, I believe, flew into the plate glass window at the front door and were killed. This was certainly an unintended problem of the design, but a serious oversight nonetheless. Considering these real defects in design, it’s ironic that a certificate of architectural merit is proudly displayed in the home, awarded by the American Institute of Architecture in 1999. I wonder if the jury panel members actually stayed in the place for any length of time. With these honest caveats, I would still recommend this property.

  Lew E from Saratoga, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Lovely (albeit a bit dated), well located one bedroom(two more are available via an adjoining cottage)ocean from home. The home is very "open" with the living area, kitchen, and bedroom feeling like one big room. This is one of the better equipped ocean front homes that we have stayed at but it is a little further from the ocean than most homes in this category. Outside eating area is lovely. Perfect for a couple.

  lovely place inside and patio, artsy and eclectic. It is back from bluff so a more 'meadow' feel, even though no houses in front of it. A rather long walk to bluff (a neighbor stopped us from going the obvious way directly across the meadow outside the house). great indoor tub and awesome to look out windows in bedroom in the morning. Fireplace didn't work--they are fixing it. Master is open to the kitchen and living room--no door. So great for two, but might not work to put one or two other couples in the annex. We enjoyed our stay!
