Absolutely love this place! It was the perfect location. Not needing a car to walk around town and to the beach/bluffs is our favorite way to visit Mendocino.Gary’s house is stocked with everything you could need. It was very clean which is my first priority.One warning: there are no screens in the upstairs windows. It can get hot in those bedrooms and we needed to keep the windows open with a fan running in them. There aren’t many bugs, mostly flies, but I was also thinking of small critters.

Possibly the most unique VRBO we have ever stayed in. This was a magical place to be able to stay during our time in Mendocino. With ample yard and deck space, a private path to the beach, and easy walking distance to restaurants and the spectacular headlands, this place delivers a great experience in this one-of-a-kind town. The mattresses are comfy and the family space was ample for us. Kitchen is well equipped. Tree house and disc golf were great added perks!

This house has a great location, a good size and setup, and a wonderful yard. It’s walkable to a beach, several restaurants, and stores. It was our dog’s first road trip, and she loved the yard even more than my kid did.

This beautiful and immaculate home was so charming and comfortable. We loved being able to walk to everything in Mendocino right from the house. I found that we dilly dallied instead of leaving because we just didn’t want to leave the house. The back yard/gardens are beautiful and downright magical. The path to the beach was great to have right there on property. This home has everything you might need for a Mendocino stay and we were very pleased with the amenities provided. Wonderful host as well. : )

This is an interesting old house, don’t expect modern luxuries but it’s very comfortable!Great location for walking to town or down the path to Big River beach. The ocean and beach can be seen through the trees and it’s great to sit on the back deck listening to the waves.Host communities well, easy check in, questions answered quickly.Only negative is that its great location is also just steps from Main St., right near the entrance to town and the highway. Even though Mendocino is somewhat isolated, the loud cars and motorcycles have no problem doing their rides through this otherwise quiet community, especially Fri.-Sun. Unfortunately, any house or hotel, in any location, will have this noise if it’s near a busy street or highway.

Everything worked as expected. The house was clean, the bed was perfect. The little amenities like coffee in the freezer, coffee pods, and tea bags were a very welcome surprise. The house is really conveniently located and we could walk at night to all restaurants easily. The backyard was super amusing with all the decorations and installations - tree fort included. Beach walk was very convenient and led directly to the river/ocean interface.We are looking forward to staying there again in the future.
