Very well maintained and suitable for a family of 5 and dog. If you have little kids, the spiral staircase might be problematic. For a rental that was so well-equipped, it was strange there was no abrasive sponge for pots, no tupperware for food storage, and -- a real issue! - no map of Sea Ranch. It took us 2 days to figure out how to get a map of Sea Ranch (you have to buy it at the Sea Ranch Association office, they are closed Mondays) and the whole point of Sea Ranch is to walk and bike! I think either a map should be provided or obvious instructions should be provided about where to obtain the map. Finally, if you go, there are a lot of extra towels on top of the washing machine. It took us days to find extra towels which was odd for such a well-supplied house. This house is near CA-1 and fairly far from beach, but a nice walk to the beach, so not a problem. The houses nearer the beach are doubtless more pricey.
