Very easy to check in room was ready when we got there. Rooms were clean. Staff was polite easy access to the beach and we also like that. We were only there for three days and we got a short term rental for that instead of having to book the whole week, we just wanted a long weekend we would recommend the sea ranch resort to anyone. We had a great time.

Hotel has excellent ocean views and beach access. Rooms are large and have everything you need. Plenty of nice towels provided. The bed wasn't as soft as i like, but it was decent. The only issue was the carpet and chair were worn out and stained. Also, one night the TV lost antenna signal at midnight and apparenlty the office was not staffed 24/7 as no one responded via phone call or text.
