About the host
Hosted by Henry j Hautau
Hello. We are excited to offer this property to guests who will, no doubt, appreciate its history, the physical incredible space and the spectacular location. We feel its the perfect group or family reunion rental space and we have taken great care to present the entire property retaining much of the original finishes along with comfort inducing upgrades that will make your stay a memorable one.
Why they chose this property
Situated on the east side of HWY 1, our home is within walking distance to the Mendo coast and it's dramatic ocean-bluff setting overlooking a steel-blue sea. We are a quick drive to the coastal hamlet of Mendocino w/its restaurants and shopping, as well as multiple coastal restaurants & bars & glorious coastal trails. However, we sit on ocean view land, dotted with Cypress groves, that definitely provides a secluded and romantic setting.
What makes this property unique
What this home/property offers is very unique. While some properties on the coast advertise "beds" we are able to provide incredible bedroom privacy and vast interior space to spread out inside this historic home that almost no other coastal home offers.
With over 5000 sq ft of living space that offers 5 large bedrooms, each with its own full bath and view balcony/porch and another and a well appointed "bunk room" w/TV and pull out queen couch that sleeps up to 7. This home is perfect for couples, families, that value privacy. The separate sleeping quarters each with it's own spacious full bathroom affords our guests a unique and private experience that, we believe, is unmatched in a private home on the coast here.
Additionally, we offer 4 separate living areas to spread out in. The main view living room, a warm, spectacular coastal view sun room, the wrap around couch TV room & a cozy foyer sitting room centered around the original fireplace. Whether you're cozying up to read a book, spending an evening on Netflix or enjoying a bottle of wine with old friends/family, there are multiple well appointed, interior spaces that offer a spot for many to enjoy!
There are also two large kitchens in the main house. Prepping for Thanksgiving or your family reunion? These spaces have it all. Two stoves (one gas & one electric), two dishwashers, a commercial sink, 2 large refrigerators and a large stainless steel prep area.
Outside, we have multiple fire pit areas, hammocks, and over 25 Adirondack chairs to take in all this property offers. Let the kids explore ..sit back and relax.
