If you overlook the rundown stuff, you can be comfortable here but there are tons of better places.
The side garden and deck is nice. Views are nice. Kitchen things work well although there is way too much stuff and one cabinet doesn't have a door. Master bed very comfortable as is the living room couch and chair.
House could have been cleaner (windows, grout algae, unswept porch). Furniture rundown, closets so full of stuff that I had to clear a space in MBR closet for our minimal things, sink tile cracked, mirror backings failing, some lights and flashlight don't work, etc.) . Under-sink doors in kitchen and master bath don't close. Upstairs toilet doesn't work properly, wifi doesn't work with the supplied info, no garage. There's more. There are lots of great places in Sea Ranch; you can do better.

An OK Vacation in a spectacular location while staying at a very disappointing house
The location of this home cannot be beat. Spectacular views of the ocean, which was only a 1 minute walk away, along with views of the coastal mountains. Sea Ranch in general is a wonderful place to come and relax in the quiet and peace of the North Coast. The owners provided access to a streaming movies service and a rather large TV which the kids enjoyed in the evening.
The house is pretty much a dump - at best, it's heavily worn out, and it desperately needs someone who cares about the property to spend some meaningful time and effort in fixing it. These are harsh words and I don't use them lightly, but really, this home shows serious neglect by its owner(s). A good number of things were broken or very heavily worn / worn out. Specific examples include several kitchen cabinet doors, the sliding door to the exterior porch from the larger of the two lower level bedrooms, the over-the-sink microwave (a small counter top unit had been added), and in one of the bedrooms, the only operating window pane was replaced with a sheet of plywood duct taped into place - there were fixed pane windows in that room which let in light, but no way to get any ventilation. The lighting in the kitchen is so meager, its hard to cook in there at night because its difficult to see. The porch off the large lower bedroom is pretty much un-usable since the deck boards are beginning to fail (on one side the wooden railing is rotted to the point where it is falling away). At $300 per night (with all taxes and fees), there are a good number of other homes in the same price range at Sea Ranch that do not show this level of neglect. We did not call the Vacasa office because there really wasn't anything they were going to be able to do about it (their office was closed on 2 of the four days we were there), and after all we were on vacation. This home should really be withdrawn from the rental market until it has been properly repaired.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Shell Beach and would recommend it to our friends and family.
We have always loved the location of Shell Beach. This time especially as we have an older dog who can not walk as far and access to the beach is very easy from here. The view is very nice also. It is very well stocked regarding cookware and extras. There is a view of the ocean from almost all rooms. The couch up stairs is very comfortable.
The place has become a bit run down and could use some TLC. No central heat but that being said when we did use the fireplace we were warm upstairs and in the master bedroom the propane fireplace was very good. Heating the other room downstairs not so good. Also there were no directions on how to turn on the fireplace in the bedroom so that took some hunting to find the controls. The hot tub was way too hot and you can not read the temperature controller to set it properly.
