About this property

OCEAN VIEWS - Gourmet Kitchen - BEACH ACCESS - Short Walk - Sleeps 4

Gaze over the crystal blue ocean of the Mendocino coastline accented by sparkling "diamonds on the water," right from the porch of our fully remodeled, historic, two-story, Victorian-style home.

With all modern amenities, this historic home was one of the original homes during the booming logging era in Mendocino County. Located in quaint Little River, CA., this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home mixes Victorian nostalgia with all-modern amenities. Maximum capacity is 4 persons. Not suitable for children under 12 years or infants. No events or gatherings that would exceed the 4 person maximum, please, and no pets. For your security and the security of our home, we have 2 exterior security cams at both entry points covering property.

We are surrounded by Van Damme State Park on 3 sides. We have total access to beach trails including a short path that leads to a secluded cove on Van Damme Bay, the Spring Ranch trail so you can take a quick walk to see the white-water of the surf crashing against the rocks, and other amazing hiking trails. You might even spot a pod of whales. If you have ever wished for an enchanted getaway, this is it.

Shop and dine in charming Mendocino, Albion, Fort Bragg, or right here in Little River. Golf, explore and enjoy. You have found a hidden gem.

We look forward to welcoming you and your loved ones to our home. You can accept the rental contract online, however, we require your signature on our quick customer service document which will be sent via email.

This property requires guests to use stairs to the the bedrooms upstairs. Thank you.

Lovely property - just as described in the listing. The path to the beach really is right across from the driveway, and the views of the water from the interior of the house are spectacular. We were even greeted by a family of deer shortly after check-in. Great communication with Bonnie.

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie

A family of ocean lovers and this is the perfect place. We love enjoying the stunning views of the coastline right from our kitchen, front porch or right from the beach. I never tire of being here and we visit our home often. We hope you do too.

Why they chose this property

This is my dream home. I have always wanted a comfortable home in a quaint beach town with an easy walking path to the beach and this is that home. It's so beautiful and serene. I love dinner on the porch or sunning myself on the upper deck. Our family has always been ocean lovers and this is the perfect home.

What makes this property unique

Take a 4- minute walk to a secluded cove on Van Damme Bay or take a 10 minute walk through the Van Damme State Park that borders the property on 3 sides and end up on the wild white-water coastline by way of the Spring Ranch Trail.
tthe choice is yours and the view and home are exquisite.
