About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Wide open meadow view with ocean peeks through the trees.
Unit 117. Lupine House was designed by Don Jacobs with simple "Sea Ranch, Living Lightly on the Land" in mind.
All on one level, the kitchen, dining and living room are one open concept with a long window seat being the focal point. A bit of ocean peeks through some trees, but the main view from the house is a wide meadow view which, in the morning, is often populated by grazing deer. A sleeper sofa in the living room is an added sleeping space if needed.
And once the sun has set and it's time to tuck yourself in, a wood burning fireplace to relax by while enjoying a cozy movie night streaming from the owner provided Netflix app. Wifi is also provided throughout the house.
At twilight we are sometimes visited by a beautiful red fox or a big, burly raccoon. (Keep the deck door closed or racoons will come right in!) If it's clear at night, try star gazing from the hot tub. You've probably never seen so many stars and satellites!
The house has 2 bedrooms, each with a Queen size bed and 1.5 bathrooms. Bed linens and towels are not provided, bring your own or rent them from Beach Rentals. No pets allowed.
Enjoy.

We had a great time at the Lupine house! With a two minute walk down to the beach or to the playground or to see the seals- this house is ideal! :)

Hi--- We enjoyed our stay very much although we were very disappointed that again we were not able to access the deck because of a faulty lock set on the access door. If this is not remedied we would reconsider our choosing to stay in this house again. Other than for this issue we were generally happy about our experience.Last year ,I remember,there was a compensation for the loss of use of the deck area. Perhaps this could be considered also for this year.Best,Ron Heglin

I really don't like reviewing our stays at Sea Ranch because I wish no one else ever went there! We want it all to ourselves. Actually, it always feels like we have it to ourselves and it's so beautiful and peaceful. The Lupine house is very comfortable and well appointed. We stay there once a year - this year was our 5th time staying at Lupine. Sea Ranch is totally magical and Beach Rentals is a lovely company with friendly and helpful staff!

We had an amazing stay at this property. As you enter the house you are greeted with beautiful meadow and partial ocean views. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck every morning and a sky full of stars from the hot tub at night. We took advantage of the many trails around Sea Ranch as well. Very quiet and private and a great place to relax and get away from it all!

We come to Sea Ranch every year - it is such a magical, peaceful place to take in the ocean and the views. This is the second year in a row that we've stayed at Lupine. It is clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. It has great views and we love the hot tub.
The house is clean, convenient, and comfortable. It will not suit those with ostentatious tastes. It is a well-maintained example of the original Sea Ranch philosophy; thoughtfully designed, a little spartan, inexpensive materials used in a innovative way. It still feels truly mid-century modern.

We have rented a number of properties from Beach Rentals. They do a splendid job of guiding us to stay in properties that meet our needs. This one was very close to the trail near the ocean and we enjoyed the walks north and south of our location. Very serene experience. Hot tub was terrific too!
This property is more of a budget option for the area, but a good one. The bones are wonderful, the decor/ furniture does not entirely match the era of the development of the sea ranch which is a disappointment, but it is cozy and will provide all that one might need. The space was clean and overall a great place for a family vacation.

We stay at Lupine every year — it has a great layout for a small family and is very close to a wonderful tidepooling beach and playground. Unfortunately it needs a refresh badly — the window seat, couch, and master bed are long past their lifespans. With some updates, we hope to keep staying here for years to come!

Reviewer Comments:
On the positive side, Lupine is an easy walk to the Sea Ranch Ocean trail. It has a great picture window view of a meadow and some blue water in the distance. Beach Rental outfitted the house generously with essentials. The hot tub is well situated and easy to access. On the negative side, the house is tiny; there is no pantry. It's a one-and-a-half-person kitchen, at best. It has not been updated, I suspect, ever. Liquid dripped on our heads from the leaking transom over the toilet in the front bedroom. The beds were mushy and lumpy. To watch TV, we had to pivot the old and heavy hide-a-way bed couch ninety degrees. We rented this house at the last minute because there were not a lot of choices. The internet went out several times a day; it was pokey at best, challenging to work here. Bottom line, if you don't mind dingy, this home is for you. I recommend The Vue restaurant in Gualala for fresh California cuisine. I would not rent this home again.
