The Sea Ranch Lodge

The Sea Ranch Lodge was such an incredible experience! My business partner and I had our annual summit there and used the Redwood Room to hold our 2-day meeting. We were met with calmness and focus that I think we could only get at a place like Sea Ranch. Our business is design-focused, so the heritage of Sea Ranch played a big part in our decision to have our summit there. The recent renovation was perfectly executed. The food and amenities match the quality of design.

What a wonderful place! Even in its original 1960s format the Lodge and its surroundings feel timeless and so up to date with sustainability and nature at its core. The rooms are comfortable and quiet and the outlook yards from the Pacific Ocean is breathtaking. We busted in a wet February day and immediately felt warm welcome and relaxed. The trails are beautiful and if it's too wet there are yoga mats in the rooms, comfortable seating areas in th main lodge and a well stocked bar area. The restaurant is sublime and the seasonal locally sourced food is to die for.

The 3 star review is based on expectations for a property with these rates. I expected more. I guess they get to charge these rates because they are the only game in town. The room was nice, ocean view was lovely. Beds and pillows were not very comfortable . They have single ply toilet paper, seems cheap. Check in took 25 minutes even though there was not a line. They use an app for the room key which was really annoying. We had to download the app. The initial link they sent did not work so we had to go back to reception for them to redo. They failed to send the preregistration link to us, so we had to do it there. Registration is on line. What do you do if you don’t have a smart phone? Booking the reservation was difficult because we had a gift card. We had to send a photo of the gift card to them. We could not book on line, so it involved multiple emails. The whole process was too involved.

Views, nature hikes, comfortable room and nice amenities, beautiful establishment, snacks/wine in our room for honeymoon

General service of staff members was poor - they were very indifferent, reactive, and unprofessional/not attentive. They lacked good communication skills - We were woken up at 6:20 by emergency headlight alarms in our room and received no notice until we reached out to them directly an hour later and then were met with a simple "sorry about that". We ordered room service and it didn't arrive until after we called the lodge 1 hour later asking about the status of our food, and it was dropped off abruptly with no apology. Rooms were not cleaned every day even though we requested it, showing lack of care and attentiveness. Staff did not have proper first aid kit when needed.

Everything!!! It was one of the most Beautiful place. I’ve stayed Stars at night are intense

One one.. the lighting was lacking and hard to figure out

Sea Ranch Lodge has a truly beautiful setting that feels like a real getaway. Check-in was easy and the complimentary glass of rosé was a nice, thoughtful touch. I also loved the freebies in the room, and the on-site store was well stocked with curated products. The restaurant was a standout—the food was excellent—though you should make a reservation early if you want to be sure you can eat there.

For the price, I was surprised by how many amenities were missing, especially basics like a sauna, pool, or gym. It was also a bummer that there’s no room service. The bed was comfortable overall, but it felt a bit too soft and squishy and was louder than expected. Lastly, our room didn’t have a bathtub.

Beautiful location

Overpriced, over crowded, loud, not relaxing at all

Location is amazing. Design is clean and modern. Great views from the room.

No facilities like sauna or pool for a place that is high priced.
