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.

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.

The convenience of staying at Sea Ranch Resort with an ocean view room, beach access, and restaurant on property was excellent. The cleanliness of room was horrible. Linen was dirty with hair, lipstick, and stains. Lamps were dirty and dusty. Tub was stained but looked dirty. For $386/night I really expected a much cleaner room. Although housekeeping was gone for the day, a nice young lady on staff came to change our linen. Elevator was not working so we had to use the dirty staff elevator. The stay here is really more about convenience. If you expect cleanliness stay elsewhere.
