Games abound at Abalone Bay inside the house in the game room and outside in the garage.
As you slide the handcrafted barn door open you step down into our house’s new game room. The game room decor theme for the room is pure fun and games!
Decor
From my collection of vintage games, we selected 3 that had a fun, quirky connection to our family and our guests.
Shadowboxes of Vintage Games
My favorite that you encounter first as you peek inside is The Exciting Game of Town and Country Traffic created in the 1950’s. Given the exciting trip from the Bay Area to The Sea Ranch that one really resonates with us!
The second game near the game table relates to our global travels and life as ex-pats, Pirate and Traveler, originally published by Milton Bradley in 1911. Our copy is the 1953 edition.
The third vintage game we honor in our game room represents an old-time favorite of ours, our kids, our grandkids, and undoubtedly yours too! Chutes and Ladders is a family staple. Interestingly, this children’s board game based on the ancient Indian game Snakes and Ladders, was first published in 1943.
Game Space
Of course, you’ll find a modern version of “Chutes and Ladders” in our game cabinet, along with many more games and puzzles to enjoy with your family. Whether you prefer a simple puzzle of just a few pieces or one that may require you to extend your vacation to complete, we have it ready for you.
Games include the traditional board games as well as cards and dice. And of course there’s Bingo and Scrabble. If you find you forget some of the rule, don’t fret! We also have a book of rules for popular card games.
A Favorite Napping Location Even with Construction
We are thrilled to be part of a growing community, and that means there’s a new home blossoming next door! While construction is underway, we’ve taken measures to ensure your peaceful stay. That said, you may notice some daytime activity, as the crew typically arrives as early as 7:30 AM and wraps up by 4:00 PM. During this time, we encourage you to explore over 50 miles of scenic hiking trails, unwind at one of our three recreation centers, or discover the incredible local artists, shops, and parks that make Sea Ranch so special. Your understanding and excitement for our community’s growth are greatly appreciated!
A favorite corner for napping, reading, construction watching
Fortunately, our home remains a sanctuary of relaxation. One of our guests’ favorite spots is the full-length, seven-foot-long window bench seat, offering a stunning view of the ocean. Whether you’re curled up with a book from our library, gazing at deer feeding below, or spotting whales drifting toward the horizon, this cozy nook invites pure tranquility. And while The Sea Ranch is known for its peaceful ambiance, the soft lull of the waves and the warmth of the sun streaming through the window might be all you need for that long-awaited, cozy nap—construction or not.

And There’s More Found in the Garage!
Recently added to Abalone Bay is a folding Joola Nova Table Tennis table with four paddles and six balls available for your use. The table is kept in the garage under its cover. Also added in the new garage is a drop down table for your use while playing. Play is kept in the garage to prevent the added challenge of the wind. And at night the garage door is to be closed. When play is over, the table halves store conveniently against the side wall to allow space for your car to return to the garage.
Even More Fun Available for You
Also located in the garage are folding chairs and chaise loungers, basketball, football, and an air pump in case it’s needed. For the even more fun we’ve added a giant size Connect Four game, Pickleball paddles and balls, and Yoga mat.
