Keywords: Oceanfront Home
Our custom-built home is perched on a bluff at the northern end of Manchester State Beach. Conde Nast named Manchester as one of the ten best beaches in California. The six-mile beach offers fascinating tide pools and the finest surf fishing on the north coast. A massive jumble of driftwood logs line the base of the cliffs creating a natural playground for kids.
Our home offers dramatic white water views and the ideal spot for eavesdropping on the coastal wildlife. Ospreys and red-tailed hawks soar by at eye level as they ride the wind currents at the bluff's edge. Whales veer extremely close to shore here during migration and, in the early winter, tundra swans stop off for a breather while heading south. Deer are plentiful and visit our property to graze every evening.
The house has open-beamed pine ceilings throughout, and an ocean view from all but one room. A large deck and hot tub overlook the crashing surf. The master bedroom has a queen-size pine canopy bed with memory foam mattress and down comforter, a window seat overlooking the surf and a custom-tiled bathroom with a country French 12-inch shower-head.
The second bedroom has a king size bed decorated with a patchwork quilt. A queen size sofa bed is available in the great room. The spacious pine kitchen is modern and fully-equipped. The separate living room boasts spectacular views, a long window seat and cozy fireplace. We also provide a small library of books and games.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful Irish Beach home! When I reserved our stay, I knew that the house was situated on a bluff over looking the ocean . . . but you don’t realize how spectacular that view is until you actually see it! It’s like having an amazing backyard, so to speak. The house it’s self is also lovely. The furnishings are very comfortable and the kitchen is well supplied. The layout is perfect for a large group or just a few people, with two separate seating areas and a large dining table with chairs. There are two large window seats that beg you to sit, read and sip wine . . . at least that’s what they said to me . . . one in the master suite and the other in the living room. Both have beautiful views of the ocean, but actually, most of the other windows do as well. The beach is also wonderful with large amounts of huge driftwood. It looked like an elephant graveyard and was usually deserted; a little chilly though. Margie was excellent to work with and very accommodating. She answered all my last minute questions and gave me the ‘lay of the land’ concerning Manchester and neighboring towns. I would return here again and again! But having said that, I would bring 2 items that were needed for me and my family. 1. eye shades for sleeping in, sun comes up very early 2. a good sharp knife or knife sharpener for the ones that are there. There are plenty of knives, but typical with a rental, they’re never very sharp.

We have been renting this property for approximately 12 years and have had a wonderful experience each time. Each visit seems to get better and better. The house has always been clean, with the basic supplies needed and has a warm, home-like decor. The owners have been very easy to work with and have been flexible with the dates we were looking for. I don't remember ever having a problem with the house, but am confidant if something was wrong it would be handled as quickly as possible. We first started going to this property before we had kids, and had a nice, quiet, relaxing time. When our sons were babies and toddlers the house was a perfect size and the layout was nice to keep an eye on them, it was a fun, relaxing place for family time, and now that they are 10 & 11 we love to go spend the day building sand castles, walking the beach looking for seashells, tide pooling and football/frisbee fun. We have vacationed here both in the Summer months and Fall months and every time the beach has been without a lot of people and when there were other families, the beach is so large that you still feel like you have the beach to yourselves. Since our kids are older now we can go golfing in Little River and have found some fun places to hike. It has been our experience that the best part about going to this house is we can do absolutely nothing and still have a good time, just playing board games, doing puzzles together, reading, watching movies and enjoying the starry night from the hot tub. It is our favorite place to go and every year our sons can't wait to get back.

The photos of this property, as beautiful as they are, do not begin to do justice to this place - being inside the house is like being in a ship, with panoramic ocean views from every window and the sound of the ocean permeating every room. The house is beautifully and comfortably furnished, and the owners have thought of every amenity (including a rainfall shower in the master bath, another unadvertised perk!). We spent a week here with our two children, and enjoyed hours of world class tide pooling on the beach right below the house, plus long beach walks along the private, gated Irish Beach. After some blustery walks it was wonderful to come back to the house and soak in the hot tub overlooking the ocean. We've stayed at a number of places along the Mendocino coast over the years and this was by far our best experience, we can't recommend it highly enough!

We have stayed at this beautiful home three times now, the last in 8/09. This is the best place to relax and get away from it all! The view from the deck, and many rooms from the house is amazing. The amenities are wonderful, kitchen is well stocked, and there is tons of information at the house for things to do around the area. We will be going back next year, it is our favorite spot!! HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOME! BETTER THAN ANY OTHER WE HAVE STAYED IN! Irish Beach is GORGEOUS! :)
