Great way to see Sea Ranch
We were visited daily by deer: a buck, doe and several young ones. The ocean glimmers, the stars come out at night, and you can snuggle in front of the lovely fireplace. The location gives you easy access to Gualala and the Sea Ranch Lodge. Be sure to read the Independent Coast Observer newspaper and listen to KGUA radio 88.3 FM to find out about all the local events. Pipers Reach is clean and comfortable. You'll really enjoy your stay.

Relaxing Getaway
We spent Labor Day weekend at Pipers Reach. What a wonderful place to stay! The location is quiet, secluded, and a short walk to the coastal trail and beach. The home is very well-equipped, and I hope to use the bikes and play some ping pong on our next trip. This fenced backyard for our dog was also a plus. Overall, it is one of the best vacation homes I've stayed in!

Fantastic!
Wonderful place! Very comfortable, quality furnishings. Well-equipped kitchen. Easy walk to the beach, and everything you need - chairs, umbrella, towels. Lots of walking trails in the community with beautiful coastline views. Oversized clean spa was a bonus. Accommodating and super responsive host. We loved it, and so did our Golden Retriever!

Summer Vacation
This property was in a great location to the beach. At night you could hear the waves which is so relaxing. I loved the fenced in yard for our dog and the spa was great. The only thing that was hard was the fact that you couldn’t have your dogs upstairs. I honestly might not have rented the is place because of this rule. I did t see it anywhere until we arrived and were looking for a pizza menu. Other than that it was good.

Ocean view
The house and location are excellent, quite comfortable and well equipped with easy acces to wonderful beaches. The house host is EXTREMELY considerate and polite. My ONLY negative, which is no hindrance to a return visit, and accounts for the 4 star rating on "accuracy of online listing" is that the accompanying photograph suggests an on-the-bluff location and view for this "ocean view home". Such a view does not exist from this home. A more accurate photograph is recommended. G.S.

Sea Ranch Water Crisis
We have rented properties at Sea Ranch for 40 years. Pipers Reach is pleasant — well-equipped and clean, but a major issue marred our experience. As described in the VRBO listing, there are two bedrooms in the home. The en-suite master is spacious and nicely furnished with a small balcony. The other bedroom was cramped, with a small window and barely enough room for a luggage rack. We were disappointed, but willing to be “good sports” since we were traveling with another couple … until it was time to take a shower in the hall bath. The water flow was barely a trickle and unusable. We contacted the owner about the problem and she suggested some “fixes” which didn’t work, despite the efforts of our very handy friend. Tina was apologetic and said she would compensate us for the inconvenience. On the third day, she arranged for a plumber to come. When we got back after a day of golfing, the shower water pressure was still minimal. We let Tina know and at that point she went “dark.” We had to share the master shower with our friends for the remainder of our five-day stay. We have had no further contact from Tina, other than a reminder to leave the parking passes when we checked out. She did not respond to my request for information about the promised refund. (We only asked for $500.) One further note. The water situation in the hall bath would be unacceptable even for a couple traveling with small children. It would take all day to fill the bathtub.

A charming place
The lovely home is in a great and beautiful development. The home itself is well maintained and very well stocked especially the kitchen. The owner is very responsive. My biggest suggestion is: there should be in the description of the property : Master Bedroom: Be sure to let future renters know that you have a very high bed. Very difficult to get into it you are short and old. Definitely provide a bed step stool. Also be sure to mention the blackouts that can happen at any time. And be very clear where the flashlights are.
