Amazing five nights

My husband, son and I stayed here for five nights and couldn't have been happier. We were so comfortable in this house and loved exploring Irish Beach. We love to cook, and found everything we needed stocked in the kitchen. Our dog was one happy, tired camper, too. Thank you Kelley for providing us with such an outstanding getaway!

Nice house, great view

Nice house, great location, wonderful deck. Everything was as advertised. Really enjoyed our stay. Only complaint is that we had run ins with ants despite keeping all our food in plastic bags in the cupboards, they were aggressive. This isn't uncommon for the area, but it was unfortunate. The BBQ was hard to use as the gas pipes were rusted to the point that they had large holes so that most the flame came out in one location.

Fantastic Weekend on the Mendocino Coast

Booked a last minute weekend getaway with my wife and two young children. The house was perfect... spacious and cozy at the same time. We were looking for something quiet - and this place really fit the bill. We enjoyed all the amenities, especially the hot tub. The owner was fantastic and easy to get in contact with. Really could not ask for more in a weekend escape. We look forward to coming back again!

Wonderful escape!

Somewhat rustic interior adds to the element of a beautiful secluded escape away with a gorgeous view of a private beach. Has everything you need hot tub, fireplace, TV, VCR, Internet or just unplug yourself and feel free to relax. 2 comfy beds and 2 baths, gorgeous view from the rear decks. What more could you want? Reasonable rates and a really sweet owner. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

A great trip!

Renting this comfortable house was a great experience. The house was a represented in the listing. Clean and fully furnished. It was a great home base while checking out the north coast of California. We made use of the kitchen cooking breakfasts, packing picnic lunches and multi course dinners. The hot tub was a hit every evening to soak our tired bodies after a day of hiking. The weather was great and Montgomery Woods is well worth the trip to see Old Growth Redwoods! I definitely recommend this house and hope to return for another stay!

Wished we could stay longer

We totally enjoyed our stay. Cozy fire, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable twin/queen beds. All appliances work very well. Clear rules, full support of the owner. The house is good for a single couple or two couples. We enjoyed jacuzzi and great view of the ocean. The area is full of activities: multiple state parks, coastal trails, unique natural gems, great wineries of Anderson Valley, we even spent one day picking mushrooms in the woodlands and cooking mushroom soup after. We have only regret -we didn't have time to stay longer.

Amazing weekend getaway!

Checked in on a rainy Saturday afternoon with my girlfriend. Drove up Irish Beach and pulled up on this private driveway that led to a wooden walkway to the cottage. Right from the offset, I knew it was going to be an extremely pleasant experience! The house is cozy and has really thoughtful arrangements of things you would need to make your stay pleasurable. The hot tub is a huge bonus! You also get your own private beach access, which is a 6 min drive from the house. All in all, it turned out to be one of the best weekends of my life and I will be definitely coming back here again!

Cold house

The house is super cute…warm wood construction, cool rustic design, and great deck. Entertainment choices also appreciated. Access to the private beach was very nice! And the neighborhood was great to walk around with plenty of views along the way. We loved it all except for one thing…it was very cold on some nights. Our first 2 days were rainy and cold and the 2 space heaters were not enough to keep us comfortable. After the weather became sunnier, the house warmed up.

Great views, relaxing ambiance

My fiancé, friends and I had a lovely stay at Miriam’s home celebrating my 30th birthday. We relaxed in the hot tub, had yummy meals and took in all the views from the deck and master bedroom. The kitchen had everything we needed and the barbecue worked perfectly! Although we spent a day adventuring in Point Arena and Fort Bragg, we left the weekend wishing we had spent even more time soaking in the comfort of the home. Irish beach was lovely and we also were able to horseback ride on the beach below the home. We already have plans to come back! Miriam was also very responsive when we had questions and check in was easy. Thank you Miriam.

Amazing Spot

If you are looking for a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle, this is it. Tremendous setting and cozy cabin with just enough space for three people and a small dog. It is an old build, so there are some quirks to electrical and hot water systems. Regardless of that, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Quiet and cozy and just perfect!

After searching on VRBO for the perfect place to take our 21 year anniversary trip, we came across this lovely gem nestled up on a hill overlooking Manchester beach. The owners were kind enough to let us bring our dog and even had a crate (medium sized, not large) and bowls in case. We brought everything we needed but noticed it as a nice touch. The deck is absolutely charming with a hot tub around the corner affording privacy and shelter. The kitchen was decently stocked enough that i made homemade soup with no problems. The beach is either a steep hike or short drive winding down to the ocean. This area has really become a favorite for us, and Lunasky was a fabulous home base. My husband lost his phone on the beach on our second day there, but we gained excellent memories to cherish forever!

Relaxing place for time away

We enjoyed our 3 night stay in Manchester. Lots to do in the area, and this home is in a central location close to it all. Daily walks on the beach, hiking amongst the redwoods, wine tasting, climbing lighthouse stairs, all within an hour. Good communications with the host, a lovely view, and a quiet neighborhood.
