The house was wonderful. My only objection was the check in process. Not sure why we had to drive into Mendocino to get a paper telling us what the door code was. An email would have been better. Other than that it was a terrific weekend. Beautiful house and wonderfully appointed. We'll be back :)

Beautiful location with lots of privacy
The location is lovely, great views of the ocean, although best observed from the upper level viewing chairs inside. There is a huge wraparound deck, with one side facing the ocean, and the other facing the secluded forest. The hot tub location faces the forest, and was very private and quiet. My negative note is the sofa in the living room is quite old, to the point where some of the seams are coming undone. Overall, this was a very nice home with an excellent location, and would be great for a family gathering.

Great location, beautiful house!
The location is gorgeous. It's a treat to watch the ocean and the sunset from the top level of the house or from the porch. The house is clean and in good condition, with beautiful kitchen and good furnishings. The towel folding art was impressive. As minor suggestions for improvement, having the windows washed would improve the enjoyment of the view, and including a starter amount of shampoo and cooking oil would save a 30m drive to Safeway for people who didn't read the welcome emails closely enough or forgot to pack them.

Even better than you’d think
Absolutely gorgeous property - the pictures don’t do it justice, especially the panoramic view of the ocean. Perfectly arranged for a family group to have their own spaces for sleeping and privacy but also communal spaces to spend time together. Location was fantastic too. A short drive to Mendocino and many parks and hiking trails, but a feeling of privacy and seclusion on the property itself. The property manager was great; couldn’t have been easier. We were also impressed by how well-stocked the kitchen was.

Great vacation! The home is cozy and inviting, with spectacular views of the ocean. Convenient location close to beaches, trails, and shops in Mendocino, but still quiet and private. We will definitely be back!

Lucky Sunshine Days in Late Winter
The house is comfortable for one to two couples and has a picturesque view of the ocean. Nice amenities such as two fireplaces, a spa hot tub, gas grill, good internet reception, and 3 private baths. Well equipped kitchen and a washer-dryer included. Master BR mattress needs to be replaced and upgraded, though. House is in a great location on the Mendocino coast for getting to nearby towns, restaurants, shops/grocery stores, banks within a relatively short drive.

Beach getaway
We stayed at this beach house for five nights. Most of the evenings were clear and we could see ocean views from the upper level. The fireplace was nice with wood provided. Unfortunately the stove had two burners that did not work. That was a real bummer. It’s important to note that this kitchen is not equipped for a chef. The very minimal basics are provided.We ran out of firewood on day two, but after communicating with the owner he delivered more. The house itself is in OK condition, but definitely in rental shape.
