The stay was wonderful. The condo was clean, well maintained, quiet, and had what was needed. The staff is great. Ty and Karen at the desk were kind, helpful, friendly, and respectful. The view of the ocean from the balcony of the condo was beautiful. Going to the beach and coming back were easy and a nice hose to rinse off was there. They are close to lots of things you can walk to if you want.

We have stayed here many times before. We are satisfied with this property and its a great location. All rooms are ocean front. New sofas were REALLY NICE upgrade. Our AC did not work properly, but maintenance did get it fixed. Mattresses and pillows could use refreshing. Top deck on patio was super nice addition, but it wasn't open for service. We have another stay booked for Dec!! We recommend the SeaRanch to our friends!!

If I were to rate this property based solely on location, I would give it five stars since it sits directly on the beach. Most rooms have balconies and we enjoyed several amazing sunrises, and time on the beach. Two of the three front desk personnel could have been friendlier. The place itself needs maintenance and updating. They do have a small restaurant which is convenient. The service and food were average. They offer nightly entertainment at a small venue that is attached and looks relatively new. The location is also great. It is near several attractions and good restaurants. With some TLC this place can easily be a five star property.
