Opportunity Knocks

Despite the sense of seclusion, guests easily ward off cabin fever. This rental is part of the 10-mile-long Sea Ranch development, so all the amenities of a resort―including two solar-heated swimming pools and a golf course overlooking the ocean―are minutes away. Founded on the principles of open-space preservation, architectural modesty, and respect for natural and cultural history, The Sea Ranch strikes a balance between isolation and civilization. “In most communities, you drive from house to house and feel cornered, but at The Sea Ranch you feel separate from everyone and totally connected to nature,” Dale says.
