North your view sweeps past craggy islands where sea lions mingle then gaze towards scenic Mendocino. Sunsets are spectacular, as are unlimited seaward views of fast moving weather fronts.

Fall and winter are marvelous seasons on the Northern Coast - and these are the seasons to view the whales returning to the Gulf of California.

Autumn has wonderful clear days, unbelievable sunsets. and the best driftwood collection anywhere.

Six miles of sandy beach provide the perfect venue for long evening walks or adding to the world class driftwood collections.The beach is just minutes away. Atop the bluff enjoy the unique experience of viewing soaring sea birds at eye level. Deer, bobcat, wild turkeys, quail and raccoons are among your neighbors.

View the sea lions lounging on the rocks of the islands to the north through the telescope in the living room. Fishermen working their nets can often be seen nearby. Autumn and spring bring the whales offshore on their annual migration.

The association has a private beach, a private lake and picnic area within walking distance. Its close to everything on the Mendocino Coast: just 4 miles from the grocery, 8 miles from the cinema. Two golf courses are located within an easy 20 minute drive, and historic Mendocino is just 30 minutes away.

In side the house is open, cheerful and totally equipped to allow privacy for six people. It has wonderful decks for viewing, a protected deck for barbecue and a bluff side picnic area with its own magnificent view. The warmly inviting master suite has a king sized bed facing a very private deck. The second bedroom upstairs has a queen sized bed, vaulted ceiling and private access to ocean front decks with an adjoining bath.

The downstairs living area has warm cedar planked walls, enhanced by tile and Berber carpet. A roomy tile finished walk-in shower for two, dual sinks and rich cedar paneling adorn the walls. Magnificent white water views, sliders to both the spa deck and the picnic area make this room inviting year round.

Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Wyoming. She was instructor for the first hard rock climbing program for woman. Bill was a high school and junior college instructor, university professor at UC Berkeley, University of Wyoming as well as with foreign institutions. He worked at various international aid positions in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. He holds advanced degrees as well as a PhD from U.C.L.A.

Why the Owner Chose Irish Beach

We both love living in beautiful places and the Mendocino Coast has few equals. When we purchased the Irish Beach home we were told it has MILLION DOLLAR VIEW. It does!

The Unique Benefits of this Beach Residence

We loved the sight and sound of the sea and watching the birds suspended in air below our deck. We loved walking the wonderful beach and exploring the woodlands and coves on the Mendocino coast. It is a very healthy place to relax your mind and body. But there are many fun things to occupy your time - movies in Point Arena, dining, haking, shopping, etc.

    • We have stayed at the Surfperch home in September 2009 but have rented it four times in the last two years - and will definitely return again. We love the location, view and hot tub! We always bring some friends or family to share the week or long weekend with us. It's a great escape from our busy lives. The view is to die for, the kitchen always well stocked, plenty of firewood for a cozy fire on the cold nights, hot tub location is perfect & private. The private uncrowded beach is great for long walks & drifwood hunting. We highly highly recommend the Surfperch rental home for a comfortable & relaxing experience.

    • We had the most fabulous time at Irish Beach! The ocean is so serene and the sand is pure white. We spent hours climbing on the driftwood graveyard and on the rocks jutting out of the deep blue. It felt extremely private, as we only saw a few folks during our stay. The house is gorgeous and we all dreamed of calling it our own. It really is the most wonderful place on earth and I will be back with my family for years to come! Thank you so much!

    • We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at SurfPerch, and hope we can return. The view, ambience and atmosphere were magnificent, and we entertained ourselves by shopping at the local markets in Mendocino and nearby towns each day, then creating culinary masterpieces by night. each morning we'd light a fire in the stove to warm us as we drank our coffee and watched the fog dispel, admiring the herds of deer on the cliffs between home and ocean. What an incredible way to live. The home lived up to its listing completely, and all of us were quite pleased with the accommodations. This was a rare treat that everyone should enjoy.

    • This was our second time at Irish Beach and our first rental with Surfperch. The homeowners were extremely easy to work with and the house looks like it does in the photos. We stayed with my in-laws and having a 3BR/3Bath rental was wonderful. The kids loved having the basement suite to themselves and loved the hot tub on "their" deck. We loved not having to share a bedroom with our kids! The upstairs beds were comfortable and the house was clean. The homeowners had notes posted around the house, which I'm sure addressed any past issues renters had encountered. The kitchen cabinetry was older, but was fully stocked with cookware and dishes. The kitchen table was huge and had a great view of the ocean. Irish Beach is a rural, oceanfront bedroom community. We saw whales while sitting on the deck. The kids spent hours and hours on the beach, climbing rocks and exploring the sealife on the beach. The rest of our day was spent reading books, playing games and watching movies (which were all in the house for us to use). It was a wonderful, relaxing time and we felt very comfortable in the house. We made all our meals and didn't leave the property (except for the grocery store) for our four day stay. We did visit Mendocino on our way out of Irish Beach. It is a cute town and was worth the added drive. I felt like we got an amazing value for our rental dollars. You could tell the homeowners care about their place. We would definately consider renting surfperch again and I would recommend the place for families who are looking for a true "get-away".

    • The home is very comfortable and we got what we were looking for: complete relaxation and a wonderful view. Very Private. All you hear is the sound of the ocean. Would consider coming again!

    • The house was very comfortable. Each of us had our own bedroom and bath. The beds were very comfortable (even the murphy bed). The wildlife in the area is amazing! Gorgeous views and the private beach is very nice an uncrowded. Kitchen was fully equipped. Great family vacation home. I would recommend it to my friends and family! Jackie Harryman - June 2009

    • We spent my husband's 60th birthday with our family at your lovely house. The views were fabulous and the house had everything we needed for a very special weekend. It was everything you said it would be and more.
