Summary: What a comfortable home! Everything one needs to feel at home. Extremely well equipped and easy. Great location near seal hangout and we were visited by fox and deer. Walk right out to the bluff trail. Husband and his brother loved the ping pong table on rainy days.

Summary: Abalone Bay has become our favorite place to stay in Sea Ranch. To start with, it allows dogs and has a fenced in area for them to play. Our dog loves coming back. Beyond being a great place for dog lovers, it is located right on the bluff trail, has great views of the ocean for whale watching, and has a very well equipped kitchen with just about anything you need while staying there. Donna, the owner, provides a professionally done guide book that suggests where to eat, hike, fish, go for entertainment, and answers questions regarding operating anything in the house. One of the most important things to us is that although it allows dogs, the home is very clean with no dog smells.

Summary: Beautiful property with expansive, excellent views. The home is very well laid out with plenty of room for all of us. The furnishings are both comfortable and modern. The patio and hot tub area is very nicely landscaped and immaculate. Our little beagle Daisy also enjoyed the views and walks. It was perfect even with some rain.

Summary: The house is immaculate, stocked with everything you could possibly need, overlooking the ocean. Completely stocked kitchen with fancy gadgets, hot hot tub, comfortable furniture/beds, fabulous master shower. Steps from a bluff side trail that goes for miles and miles of scenic coastline. Stay and I'm sure you'll be back, as will we!

Summary: Great house and terrific location. Had our dogs with us and very easy to have them there. There’s a great dog park to give them a lot of running. House was equipped with everything you need and more. We had a week of great weather so walking and exploring was great would recommend this property whole heartedly

Summary: The property was everything that was promised. From the moment we walked in to see the stunning coastal sunset, we were amazed by the beauty of not only the view but also the home’s decor, architecture and amenities. No detail was missed. Our host Donna went above and beyond to make sure our stay was exceptional and her communication was always clear and friendly. Even though it rained a lot the first day, we found puzzles and games galore to enjoy our time together. As we explored the sights around Sea Ranch, we especially loved visiting the historic Lodge and unique Chapel, eating at Vue Kitchen, shopping in Gualala, and hiking down to Bowling Ball Beach. Wow! So much beauty to be found in Sea Ranch. This Abalone Bay Home will forever be a favorite vacation spot and place to stay!

Summary: This house is beautiful, the property is as well. Right on the coast, exactly as pictured. It’s about a 40-60 minute lovely walk to the lodge for coffee and snacks- the trail along the water at Sea Ranch is one of the best parts! Donna, the host, was extremely responsive and has been wonderful - we left something important at the house and she helped locate it and get it back to us. Will definitely be coming back!

Summary: There is nothing that Donna hasn't thought of AND provided at Abalone Bay. Staying here for the weekend with our family and our dogs was as comfortable as it would be if this were our own vacation home. Not kidding, the kitchen is better equipped than our kitchen at home; the decor is perfect for Sea Ranch, the location is beautiful, and every thing we needed for our weekend was here for us when we arrived. We have stayed at more than a few places in Sea Ranch, and this is the one we will use exclusively from now on. Really, really nice. And Donna was gracious and available for anything we needed (nothing!), and her instructions and online guide for Abalone Bay are complete and extremely useful. Overall grade: A

Summary: Hi Donna, We loved returning to your home because it is one of the few Sea Ranch properties that offers everything we want: Great location on the bluff trail, it allow us to bring our dog Bear, you have a fenced area for him, and you provide everything necessary to make his visit fun and comfortable, and your home is always very clean and has a well equipped kitchen. It's a bonus that you have your home decorated for Christmas making our visit feel like we are in a home not a rental. Finally, you continue to be a great host! Have a Merry Christmas🎄 Kim

Summary: Abalone Bay was the most wonderful home I've stayed in - the ocean views, the proximity to the bluff trail, the gorgeous interior and setup, and Donna's proactive communication were all well beyond expectations. I can't recommend this home enough and hope to return in the very near future. We are so grateful Donna shared her home with us!
