About this property

Driftwood Bungalow MENDO COAST 15 acre Ocean Front, Private Beach Path HOT TUB

HOT TUB, 1 & 1/2 baths; CALL FOR MORE INFO AT 650 678 0673

Driftwood Bungalow - approximately 15 private acres on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Dramatic views of waves crashing over rocks, see the tide ebb and flow, marvel at the sunset - all from your cozy living room and deck.

Every room was created with attention paid to detail...and a few quirky surprises...fish lights, murals on walls.....

Living Room opens onto the deck. Enjoy views of the ocean as you have your breakfast, play a game of monopoly or do a jigsaw puzzle while listening to sounds of the surf. Comfortable loveseat and chairs in the living room on one end and on the other there is a cream colored table with vibrant red leather chairs and a wonderful ocean view.

Open the french doors and walk out to admire the breathtaking view. Watch pelicans diving for fish, seals frolic in the surf and whales as they migrate. Sit and enjoy lunch on the deck picnic table or read a book in a comfy mesh chair with your feet propped up as you feel your cares slip away while the ocean breeze caresses your face.

In the family room you will find a huge sectional sofa and a 32 inch LCD TV for watching movies; DVD and VCR viewing only, no cable. There is a selection of movies or bring your family favorites. (Sectional is also a full-sized hide-a-bed.)

Master Bedroom has a Queen Bed outfitted with cozy flannel sheets. Pretty blues, pale teal, and rich chocolate brown highlight the master bedroom. Wonderful ocean-themed pictures and decorations complete the decor. Open your window at night and listen to the sounds of the ocean.

Second bedroom has a fun Surfing Theme with two twin beds. Flannel sheets and colorful Pottery Barn Quilts add to your comfort. Great room for the young...or young at heart!

The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for you. Dishwasher, Toaster, griddle, blender, coffee maker, microwave, utensils, waffle iron, gadgets galore and plenty of dishes/glassware for your use. Enjoy a view of the Point Arena Lighthouse from the dining table.

Two gas powered fireplaces warm your nights with the flick of a switch. Grab a cozy afghan, pick a spot and settle in to read the novel you've been meaning to! We have a lending library for your pleasure, sometimes one book just isn't enough!

Fenced yard off the deck, great for child and pet safety. Tuggy Tugboat Sandbox and sand toys for the tykes to enjoy.

The "Honeymoon Cottage", no longer available and occupied for years by a member of the cleaning service, has no common walls.

We always enjoy our stay at Driftwood. This time we planned on a getaway weekend where we just stayed at the house all day because it was just so relaxing. My favorite part is the back room where you can sit and see the view. We'll be back!

The walking path to the beach was almost other worldly and our favorite part about the house. You’ll have to traverse over some logs to get to the beach itself so be careful - rather hazardous. The house was fine - beds were a bit on the uncomfy side but manageable. There’s a permanent resident living next door but she’s super-sweet and stopped by as soon as I sent a message about the toilet not working - toilet was fixed within the hour. Currently, both gas fireplaces are not working but there’s good heat via baseboard heaters. Hot tub was hot. Lots of board games, puzzles, and movies. Need to bring your own shampoo and soap for showers. Be sure to hop over to Point Arena for some good pizza and beer.

Everything was easy. The information about the house was clear, everything we needed was provided, the jacuzzi with the views of the ocean at sunset was heavenly! The house was clean and comfortable. We also had easy access to town.

We’re had an enjoyable time even though the weather kept us inside. The house had plenty of space for us to stretch out and relax. The kitchen has adequate pots, pans…for whatever you plan to make. The walk down to the beach is fairly easy until you get to the log jam. There is a path through, though it’s on the other side of the creek—wear good-grip shoes and be familiar with how to boulder walk as it’s slippery and unstable in areas. For ease of access, you are better off driving down to Irish Beach. Note if you have a dog, they are not allowed at Manchester State Beach.
