About this property

Come and completely relax in this comfortably rustic three-bedroom home perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the scenic, storied Mendocino Coast. Located on a quiet, gated road ideally situated West of famed California Highway One, this cozy retreat is perfect for a family vacation, a weekend with friends, or a romantic getaway.
A beautiful eight mile drive from the historic village of Mendocino, this is the perfect home base for wine tasting, beach combing, kayaking, hiking, biking or shopping. Simply relaxing is fine, too, and you will find the peaceful setting and sea air perfect for sipping a local wine on the expansive porch, soaking in the private hot tub, or reading that book you've been trying to find time for. Treat yourself to the many fine local restaurants, or stay in and create a gourmet meal of your own in the fully equipped kitchen.
Each of the three bedrooms feature brand-new luxury pillow-top Queen-size bedsets. There are two bathrooms; one featuring a vintage claw-foot tub perfect for a warm bath, and the other a double shower. All linens are of course provided, as well as an assortment of games, jigsaw puzzles and books to enjoy. Relax or be inspired; it's up to you!

Amazing

This was the most amazing house we have stayed at while on vacation. Everything was wonderful. The view spectacular, the house itself was well kept and cute. The owners clearly care about the guests staying in their home. They provided anything and everything you could need plus more. They even had dog supplies, how sweet is that! There is nothing bad to say about this home. Many thanks to the owners for making this an unbelievable experience!!

Family time together

Property was exactly as described. We felt relaxed and right at home. Great location and peaceful. House was clean and well stocked with anything you needed. They didn’t forget about furry pets. Dog bowls, pet bed and toys were also supplied, so thoughtful. The ocean view was so calming and beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub even though the weather was stormy. Highly recommend the property and would visit again.

What a fantastic stay!

The house was the perfect home base for the Anderson Valley White Wine Weekend. Comfy, cozy (on a wild wet weekend) and welcoming, it has a fully stocked kitchen that made cooking and dining in easy and we LOVED the hot tub with a view. Views were great overall, and the neighborhood was quiet, with more trees than people! Can’t wait for our next stay. Thanks so much for hosting us.

About the host

Why they chose this property

My wife and I have long enjoyed the Mendocino Coast and visited frequently as weekend get-aways. We were fortunate to meet many locals and eventually locate a home for sale that we fell in love with.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite feature of this vacation home is how utterly relaxing it is. Even when we visit with all intentions to accomplish work away from work, the relaxation gene kicks in unexpectedly, and all tensions or stress from our work-a-day life melt away.
