"Marissa was super fast with any questions we had and even told us to contact her the day before to see if an earlier arrival was possible. We loved the large sheltered deck facing southwest for the sun and view.The hot tub was super clean and the rolling umbrella made it easy to adjust to the sun's position during the day.The new 3 piece sliding glass doors to the deck from the living room was perfect as it made the deck feel like it was part of the living room.We had a very enjoyable stay.John"

Sea Drifter – Stunning Home for 6 in Sea Ranch

Sea Drifter – Stunning Home for 6 in Sea Ranch

8/10 Good
"This property was very clean inside. The exterior needed some help with the window screens and maintenance of the enclose courtyard. The vegetation has taken ove the yard. It is a perfect size for having a dog with you and not having to worry about them. The garbage enclosure needs a better way to keep the wildlife from knocking over the cans and spreading trash around. Communication with the host was excellent and responses were quick. The kitchen was well stocked with untensils and equipment. The location was excellent and the pool at the Del Mar Community Center was really a plus. We really enjoyed our stay."

10/10 Excellent
"Words can’t express how grateful I am to Brian for hosting my (now) fiancée and I at his beautiful home. He truly helped make my engagement unforgettable. The views were immaculate. Pictures and videos do not do this place justice. Everything was so well kept, designed, and decorated. Beyond that, Brian himself was one of the best hosts for a rental that I’ve ever had. We can’t wait to stay again!"
