We really enjoyed a peaceful staff in Sea Ranch near Shell Beach with our dogs. The house had everything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay very much. There was plenty to see and do from this home. The views are amazing. Tina was a wonderful host and available immediately if needed.

This property was in a great location to the beach. At night you could hear the waves which is so relaxing. I loved the fenced in yard for our dog and the spa was great. The only thing that was hard was the fact that you couldn’t have your dogs upstairs. I honestly might not have rented the is place because of this rule. I did t see it anywhere until we arrived and were looking for a pizza menu. Other than that it was good.

Our favorite place to stay. Great location, comfortable beds, hot tub, everything you need!
4.9
The house and location are excellent, quite comfortable and well equipped with easy acces to wonderful beaches.
The house host is EXTREMELY considerate and polite. My ONLY negative, which is no hindrance to a return visit, and accounts for the 4 star rating on "accuracy of online listing" is that the accompanying photograph suggests an on-the-bluff location and view for this "ocean view home". Such a view does not exist from this home. A more accurate photograph is recommended. G.S.

Great stay but not for the elderly. Stairwell is steep and narrow. TVs were great. Cooking features were excellent and familiar.

We have rented properties at Sea Ranch for 40 years. Pipers Reach is pleasant — well-equipped and clean, but a major issue marred our experience.
As described in the VRBO listing, there are two bedrooms in the home. The en-suite master is spacious and nicely furnished with a small balcony. The other bedroom was cramped, with a small window and barely enough room for a luggage rack. We were disappointed, but willing to be “good sports” since we were traveling with another couple … until it was time to take a shower in the hall bath. The water flow was barely a trickle and unusable.
We contacted the owner about the problem and she suggested some “fixes” which didn’t work, despite the efforts of our very handy friend. Tina was apologetic and said she would compensate us for the inconvenience. On the third day, she arranged for a plumber to come. When we got back after a day of golfing, the shower water pressure was still minimal. We let Tina know and at that point she went “dark.”
We had to share the master shower with our friends for the remainder of our five-day stay.
We have had no further contact from Tina, other than a reminder to leave the parking passes when we checked out. She did not respond to my request for information about the promised refund. (We only asked for $500.)
One further note. The water situation in the hall bath would be unacceptable even for a couple traveling with small children. It would take all day to fill the bathtub.

This is our 6th visit to Sea Ranch in the past 4 years, but the first time we have stayed in this home. We would definitely stay here again. Everything was perfect and we really don’t have one negative comment.
4.9
Great location. Lovely house and yard. Did not expect both bedrooms up stairs. Extremely well stocked kitchen. Unable to obtain check instructions and pet rules until days before arrival.
4.9
This is a great house for more than one couple to stay in (of a family) - it offers every amenity you could want from bikes to hot tubs to wood burning stove - has views of the ocean and is close to wonderful walks and Shell Beach. It is cozy and comfy and we had a lovely stay!

Thoroughly enjoyable even with the rain. Home was cozy and comfortable. Looking forward to another trip.

Great time.

The house was warm, cozy inviting, private, and close to shell beach and the coastal trail. A classic sea ranch home. Would definitely return!

We came up for Christmas week with our adult children and significant others. Pipers Reach is a cozy and welcoming home. Would totally recommend this home.

Well stocked, very comfortable home. Would not hesitate to rent again.
4.9
The lovely home is in a great and beautiful development. The home itself is well maintained and very well stocked especially the kitchen. The owner is very responsive. My biggest suggestion is: there should be in the description of the property : Master Bedroom: Be sure to let future renters know that you have a very high bed. Very difficult to get into it you are short and old. Definitely provide a bed step stool. Also be sure to mention the blackouts that can happen at any time. And be very clear where the flashlights are.

Home was clean and well appointed! Most home rentals in Sea Ranch have old pots pans and dishes. This home has quality kitchen ware, furniture, and amenities! You can tell there is great pride in ownership in every detail. Everything is well thought out for the renter’s enjoyment!!! Thank you Tina and Joe!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The house is lovely, with great views and is very pet friendly. We hiked straight from the house to the bluff trail every day, which was especially nice at sunset.

Where do I start? Lovely, comfortable home. Beautiful views. Easy access to trails and beach. The owners have thought of everything - well stocked kitchen, the nice touches. Cozy blankets, even pet items (we took two dogs), comfortable beds and bedding. Had a brief power outage, and heard promptly where flashlights and candles were, and pg and e updates. Just outstanding stay.
4.9
Everything was great including the location and the hot tub was clean which isn’t always the case. Plenty of seating in the family room. The only upgrade that could be done fairly easily is the bed in the den. The sofa sleeper is uncomfortable enough that we opted to sleep on the floor. That said the rest was great and we would rent it again.

We are a family of 5 and a dog. We really enjoyed our time at Pipers Reach. The home is a quick walk to the trail that runs along the beach and a small cove. The street is very quiet and peaceful. The house is fully stocked. We used the bikes every day, played ping pong, cooked all our meals in the kitchen or on the grill. It was a perfect stay!

Loved the home and location. Cannot wait to return!

The house had pretty much everything we needed. The stores in Gualala are not too far. The location was ideal -- very serene and relaxing. Wished we could have stayed longer.

Our family enjoyed a few great days on Piper’s Reach. Our small Pomeranian loved the enclosed yard, and we enjoyed daily walks to the near-by bluff. Home cooking in a well-organized kitchen, and quiet nights in comfortable beds !

Piper’s Reach exceeded our expectations! Our family loved walking to the beach every day, playing ping pong, and cooking meals together. The house had everything we needed (including many spices and condiments), and we felt so comfortable. We can’t wait to go back soon!

Great house and great location. All the amenities that you need. Did you forget syrup or your spices - don’t worry it’s all there and more! Comfy beds and great views! Lots of stuff to do and a wonderful place to explore. Quiet place yet close to beach and hiking. Family and dog friendly! A great find!

We love The Sea Ranch and visit every summer. Pipers Reach was a repeat for us because it’s so wonderful. Cozy, quiet and close to Shell beach. Thanks Tina for another great visit!
4.9
The house was beautiful and in a great location. So easy to walk to the beach and the trails along the bluff. Lots of amenities- bikes, community center passes, hot tub, ping pong table. Our family had a great time. Also, I wanted to note how kind and gracious Tina is. We had booked this house last year and my mom had a medical emergency the day before our trip. She let us reschedule for another time and I cannot thank her enough! For that reason alone I would definitely book again.
4.9
The house was great. Very clean and equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay again if we were in the area again.

We - our fur family included - love Sea Ranch and particularly Shell Beach -- so the Piper's Reach home was perfect. Tina was very helpful with all our questions beforehand. The hot tub, garden, and kitchen supplies were Grate.Our dogs and we had a wonderful three days with perfect weather!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Sea Ranch! This lovely home was a perfect fit for our family of four (+ pup). It was clean, comfortable and very welcoming. We especially loved the beautiful views (including deer sightings!), the well stocked kitchen with everything needed to dine in, and the fabulous sunsets from the hot tub. The beds were comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the ping pong table was a bonus. Thank you, Tina and Joe, for sharing your slice of heaven with us.
4.9
We enjoyed this spot as much as any homes we’ve rented in Sea Ranch.
Pros to the home:
Very close to Shell Beach (like less than a five min walk)
Hot tub clean , well-positioned for tree and ocean views, and in good shape
Dogs allowed
Nice light and comfy beds
Fridge and cabinets stocked with a few basic essentials like spices and salad dressings
Property felt even more private than a lot do
Some nice artwork and lamps and things, which I always appreciate
Fenced in backyard felt pleasant and safe
Mostly liked floor plan
Check-in totally seamless and owner even generously offered to let us come early
Fun ping pong table in garage
Cons
Didn’t like learning that we were supposed to keep our dog downstairs only (very tough and maybe impossible in some cases)
Carpeting seemed reasonably clean but is less ideal for dirt and allergies, esp. in places with pets
Property looks like it hasn’t been updated much; some 1970’s vibes and old plumbing (but to be fair that is not infrequently true of area rentals)
Upstairs is rather cold as the listing indicates, but space heaters are provided
We prefer not being asked to strip beds, take out trash, wash towels, etc. as we struggle to depart when we are paying these prices, but at the same time, it’s not uncommon and we get how much it helps
4.9
Wonderful experience all around!
4.9
What a perfect place to spend the weekend away from all the noise. The house was so inviting, stocked and had wonderful energy. The ping pong table was a huge bonus!
Tina was quick to respond and incredibly kind! Thank you!
Our family of 5, plus 2 dogs loved being there. Highly recommend staying here if you need a place to recharge and have some quality family time.

Rainy week after Christmas, but kids don’t care and we enjoyed Shell Beach daily plus Del Mar pool, seals-viewing, hot-tubing. Your house is lovely and well equipped. Thanks you for making. It available!
