Winter at Sea Ranch: Family, Friends, Romance, Mushrooms, and Whales Galore

July 19, 2022 by Donna Martinez 4 Comments

Winter is a magical time. We love that it’s a time for family, friends, community, nature’s dramatic ocean views, mushrooms galore and whales by your door. There’s the lovely low angle of the sunlight, the sound of rain pattering on the roof, the nearly empty beaches, and the abundance of whales that pass by our coastline.  Winter sunsets over the water are marvelous whether the sky is cloudy or clear. The sunsets are always spectacular. 

Follow along as we share with your why we especially love winter at Sea Ranch.

Winter at Sea Ranch is..

A time of rain that greens meadows…

Greening of the grass

…and sprouts mushrooms.

Winter at Sea Ranch is…

A time for dramatic ocean views.

And a time of dramatic skies mirrored in foamy seas.

No worries if it’s chilly when you get out with our spa towels and bathrobes at the ready! Plus the trip to inside the house is quicker now with direct access to the principal bedroom.

 

Winter at Sea Ranch is…

 A time for romantic holiday evenings together as the sun dips into the horizon and you snuggle by the warmth of the fireplace.

It’s a time for watching sunsets now visible from the Adirondack chairs and our west facing window.

Winter at Sea Ranch is…

a time of bliss with family and children.
