Soak in Bluff & Ocean Views at Blair w/ Hot Tub!

Summary:
Get out of the city and immerse yourself in the beauty of Sea Ranch. Blair is a gorgeous vacation home perfect for a family getaway.

The Space:
The home is in a peaceful area and spacious enough to accommodate up to 7 guests. Vacationers will find themselves in a prime location for strolling along the bluffs. A leisurely drive down the coast will take you to golf courses, art centers, shopping, and dining. The Del Mar Rec Center and Marine preserve are within walking distance.

Upon entering the home, you will be welcomed by the main living space with an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and large oversized windows allowing for an abundance of natural light and magnificent views of the surrounding meadow. The living room features a stone fireplace. Light a fire on a chilly night when the coastal wind picks up to create a cozy ambiance. You and your loved ones will enjoy sinking into the sectional couch in front of the 42" flat screen TV. Put a movie in the DVD player and unwind. WiFi is also provided to make you feel at home. A full guest bathroom can be found down the hall for sharing.

A few strides to the other side of the living space will bring you to a roomy kitchen. The kitchen is fully-equipped and has ample counter space for a chef to whip up their favorite meals. Call everyone to dinner at the dining table with seating for six to eat a home cooked meal together. If you would prefer an alfresco dining experience, you will love the outdoor decks on this property. A front deck is enclosed with a BBQ and private hot tub. Heat up the BBQ and grill a tasty treat. Take a deep soak in the hot tub, which is the perfect spot to stargaze at night. The back deck is situated with a patio table and chairs. Dine and sip on a glass of wine out here while you get lost in the mesmerizing surroundings of lush meadows and a peek-a-boo view of the ocean.

When you are ready to retire for the night, there are three bedrooms to choose from. The master bedroom is furnished with a King-sized bed, TV, and doors to a deck facing the meadow. Your morning routine will be slow and tranquil in the master bathroom as you relax in the spa tub. There are also dual sinks and a standalone shower. The first guest bedroom similarly has a Queen-sized bed and patio doors facing the meadow. The second guest bedroom is suitable for housing the kids as it has a bunk bed and single Twin-sized bed.

Sea Ranch is a planned community with over 3000 acres featuring: The Historic Sea Ranch Chapel, The Sea Ranch lodge (restaurant and shopping), a 50-mile trail system with 6 public beach access points, 18-hole golf course (open to the public), dog park, and 3 recreation centers with outdoor pools, locker rooms, half-basketball court, and tennis courts (amenities vary with each center) for guest use. RV's, trailers, or mobile homes are strictly not allowed.

The Sea Ranch facility reservations for pool, tennis and golf are available on the Sea Ranch Association website. The trails and beaches are open.

Summer Getaway
We had a lovely week at Sea Ranch, with a multi-aged family group. The house was comfortable and well-kept. We came looking for a relaxing time and space to play on the coast and escape the heat. It worked. It was especially lovely to have the community pool just across the street!

Beautiful home!
This home was perfect for our family with 2 master bedrooms. It is well equipped and has a great hot tub in the courtyard. It’s located close to Gualala and just short drives to the beaches. Also a perk for the grandkids is that the pool at Olsen rec center is right across the street!

Spring Break / Grandma
A little dated. Realized when I arrived my family and I had stayed here 8 years ago. Still looks the same with the exception of updated stove and range. Weather was rainy entire trip but we made the best of it. Swam in every pool, had beaches to ourselves. Took my 4th graders to Fort Ross who are studying California Missions and stopped at Sonoma Mission on our way. Kids enjoyed themselves regardless of weather. The house could add some games for these rainy visits.

Great place in a great resort.
Our family had a wonderful time at this property! The house was clean, spacious, and well equipped. There's a slight ocean view and no neighbor views. Spa was also clean and perfectly operational. Proximity to the Del Mar center center was great for pool access. We didn't have any additional contact with the owners but only because it was not necessary with the thorough welcome packet instructions and ease of the house. Thank you!

Sea Ranch Haven
This property was everything we hoped for. My husband, 2 small children (4yo and 8mo old), and in laws stayed in the open, spacious home. You can see the ocean through the trees while you sit on the back deck. The 3 rooms were perfect for our family, giving enough space for everyone, and our son loved the bunk beds. The hot tub was a wonderful relaxing addition. Loved our stay and would love to come again!

Family stay
Great sized house with convenient front porch for small children. Great neighborhood and distance to ocean. House was a little dirty with spider webs and dead bugs. Kitchen appliances were dated but worked. Hot tub was nice. Communication with management was pleasant much better than what previous renters mentioned in reviews.

Grand Welcome is terrible
There are pros and cons to this property! The pros are : The home has a lovely layout, bright and airy with the large living room, and a very well equipped kitchen. The location of the home and privacy on the back deck coupled with the landscaping in the courtyard make this a very comfortable home to enjoy at all times of the day! Terrific. The cons are: communication with Grand Welcome (GW) is poor, they have an attitude and are very inflexible to allowing a slightly early check in - 15 MINUTES! Really?? And nobody was in the protest prior to us! After renting for 40 yrs in Sea Ranch through many agencies, I will never rent a home where they are the local contact org. VRBO should NOT do business with them. The home is tired and needs plaster repairs throughout and needed a full dusting. Cobwebs were in all the window corners in all the rooms. The carpet is stained and the front door lock is intermittently broken. Each day we could NOT get OUT of the front door. It would not unlock. We’d have to exit out a back sliding glass door, walk to the front door, and re enter using the key. Other times it was fine! We had ants accumulate through out 5 days in the master bathroom. Started as a non issue and we left with quite a collection. All these items should be brought to the attention of the owner.

We love this house and location!! The house was close to the beautiful Del Mar pool and tennis facility. That being said it wasn’t communicated well by management that renters can’t use the pool in this time of Covid, especially since they gave a pool pass in our welcome packet when checking in.The weather was beautiful and we saw lots of wildlife. We definitely would like to come to this house again as we are big lovers of Sea Ranch. We have been coming since I was a young child, our Kids were children and now with our grandkids.

Excellent layout and comfortable for family and dogs.
I would say that we found both the positive and negative reviews of this house to be accurate. The positives: It is conveniently located off of Hwy 1 close to Gualala and is directly across the street from the rec center. It has a super layout- a lovely courtyard with nice landscaping that gives the kids and the dogs a little extra room to move without tons of supervision, the roomy living room and deck are nice places to hang out and the kitchen has a window to the courtyard so it doesn't feel too bad to do dishes while on vacation. There are nearby homes but they are not intrusive in any way and the south facing exposure makes for a beautiful view of a meadow. The negatives: The house hasn't been updated in 20+ years... the racks of the dishwasher are shot, the oven is small and had dropping heating element that made cooking for Thanksgiving extra challenging, the dryer vents minimally, the hot water barely makes it through three short showers, the "low flow toilets" flush poorly and the entire house needs a paint job. All said it was easy to take the negatives in stride but good to go in with realistic expectations.

One of the best homes in Sea Ranch
Sunny, warm, comfortable, tastefully decorated, peaceful house located within a short time walking distance to the Del Mar pool. Our family visits Sea Ranch for over 25 years but never stayed at Blair house before this time and we all declared this home to be our best. I am a bit concerned about telling the world about it because it might means that there will be more takers, in the future, with less possibilities to rent for us.... :)))

Thank you for making your home available to us. It is just a wonderful place. Great location, very comfortable and all the amenities we could have possible needed. We will be back! Sea Ranch is such a special place, we decided to get married there next year.

Comfortable home
One of the nicer dog friendly homes, this house has a nicely landscaped, fenced courtyard that allows "putting the dog out" without having to don your shoes and a leash! Great for a small, quiet dog. Kitchen was well equipped, if not disorganized (what can you expect with so many visitors?). Maintenance a bit lacking.... several of the lights were out, especially the one over the dining table, making game playing challenging. Great big shower in master suite, but house hot water takes forever! An easy fix would be to install a recirculating pump into the hot water system to get the water to the showers more quickly..... that would be a big save on water use as well! A nice deck outside, which would be a great dining spot in warm weather. Close to Del Mar Center and pool (across the street), easy access to Hwy 1 and quick to Gualala for grocery shopping, etc. As with most houses in Sea Ranch, internet is spotty. Great sun exposure for winter time, when sun shines the whole house warms up! Minimal view to ocean, but the walk to the bluffs is nice through a tree-lined path a few streets to the north. Equipped with dish soap, bar soap, shampoo, and hand lotion. There were also coffee filters, garbage bags, and foil, plastic wrap, paper towels, and place mats. Fireplace needs some signage as to which way damper is open! Smoke detectors work! I'd give the house a strong B and stay again, if lighting was fixed.
