Stayed Jun 30, 2025Relaxing Stay at a Great Property. The Kenber home has a lot of character and was interesting how the owners have decorated it with their pictures and mementos. Home was clean and tidy. I was a bit unsure how it would be when I reserved it as they charge for sheets and towels. Also had to put down a 1,000 deposit (refundable). We have rented 8 other Sea Ranch homes that all provided sheets/towels. Was not a problem, just different from our norm. Made our reservations late and with a small dog there were limited options for us with Sea Ranch homes available. This actually worked out well for us as the location was great and the home was very nice. We would definitely come back again to stay here in the future. Had a lot of fun and really enjoyed our vist!

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect rental for our family of four. Private backyard! and well-appointed. A short walk from the beach and the playground. The only downsides are a few spiders in the bathrooms, and linens must be paid for on top of the rental price.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 2parents, 2teenagers, 2 dogs for Mother’s Day Weekend. The house was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. We brought our own linens and towels, as well as extra sheets for the window seat assuming our dogs might want to jump up there. The hot tub was a nice perk, and we were within walking distance of Shell Beach and the park. We will definitely be back.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely home/ location. The furniture is wearing down over years of use. Could use furniture updating for comfort. Sliders in the primary bedroom not functional. Disappointing as could not open for air or sound of ocean. Windows in second bedroom did not function correctly either.
