Here, the homes are similar but their architecture and natural environment make them standouts with minimal effort. That’s why the buzz about Sea Ranch is making it an Airbnb Hotspot.

CUSTOM DOG-FRIENDLY HOME
This architecture here is unreal and the interiors are soothing and sleek. This two bedroom, two bath home has it’s own hot tub, shared pools and starts at $150/night. Are you kidding me? For this rugged California coastline fantasy? This is the kind of place where you plan on writing your next novel, but the place is so beautiful all you’ll really end up doing is drinking wine and admiring every last detail.
PEACEFUL HILLSIDE HOME
What we love about this Sea Ranch house is how much of the original vintage charm the owners have chosen to embrace. The warm wood tones of the kitchen cabinets, the platform bed and built in benches, and the retro orange hot tub all have us wanting to spend a weekend with our closest friends imaging that if we were 25 in the 1960’s, this is where we would have started our commune.
