Stellar view house:
Just what the doctor ordered. My Steller View experience had it all.
As I pulled up to the little modern castle in the sky, I was greeted by the birdsong of early spring. The symphony of species were a soothing first welcome from the busy and chaotic world, now far away from this verdant California paradise.

Watch a movie, read a book, play a game chosen from the copious options provided. Strong WiFi enables you to work from this remote and peaceful place should you have to (I did, but not much). It’s better to embrace the salve of peaceful observation of the show that nature serves up during your stay. I could stay forever and will definitely...
   Read moreWe rented a home in The Sea Ranch over the Christmas holiday for our extended family to stay in while visiting us ( we live full time at Sea Ranch). Unfortunately for me, the house we rented seemed to have something usual with the stairs from the master bedroom and I fell and broke my ankle quite severely. I reported this to the rental office as I wouldn’t want anyone else to sustain an injury. The woman I spoke with was quite nice. I did mention that the Cal Fire crew and paramedics may have gotten dirt on the light carpet and she simply said that they would charge us if the carpets needed cleaning. This seemed quite insensitive considering what I’ve been through. Oh well, it’s their...
