This very private and romantic oceanfront Mendocino home is a spacious split-level set as close to the ocean as possible so as to take full advantage of the dramatic setting. The soothing sounds of the ocean waves rolling in and crashing against the rocks below will make you feel like you are on your own private island.
This gem of a house has romantic, private, and truly million dollar expansive views of the ocean from every room. The view through the French doors is truly breathtaking. A wrought iron spiral staircase ascends to the upstairs oversized King bed. The fireplace also has an amazing view of the ocean. The night time sky reveals a starry sky unpolluted by city lights.
The hot tub on the deck outside is a great spot for sipping wines while watching the whales and seals play in the ocean. Please enjoy a complimentary bottle of wine from Terra Vigna.
This home is close driving distance to the village of Mendocino, Fort Bragg, Point Arena as well as the renowned Anderson Valley wine country.
Please note the owner will send out address and access information about a week prior to checkin date of confirmed guests.

Because of the proximity of the ocean bluffs, children and pets are NOT permitted.
This, one of a kind house is an ideal getaway for a honeymoon, anniversary, or that much needed and deserved time off. You will understand why guests call this home 'Desire' and why they all tell us they will be back next year!

❤️Relax-Recharge-Reconnect!❤️
If you enjoy an AMAZING view, then you will love this home! We enjoyed many things here including nearby hikes, small friendly towns, a beach bonfire, and most of all, time to relax and reconnect. A wonderful vacation!
Perfect for relaxation
This was our 4th stay at Desire and it never disappoints. We love relaxing in the hot tub, watching and listening to the waves in a beautiful, quiet, and private setting where we can get away from all of the stresses of daily life. The view from living room/kitchen/back deck can't be beat. Can't wait to come back.
REJUVENATE
Having just completed a "taxing" tax I was looking for some
relaxation and getting away from it all.
Desire met all my desires and expectations. Cozy, comfortable
and requiring little or no effort on my part, it was almost perfect!
Everything was clean and operating with the exception of the BBQ.
We will certainly return and the only thing we will change is to arrive at
the new moon so that I can continue my star gazing!

Great weekend getaway
We came to visit for our anniversary weekend. Had a wonderful time gazing out at the ocean, soaking in the hot tub and just relaxing. The first night was raining, so we stayed cozy inside. We brought all of our food with us for the weekend and the kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy our meals and drinks. We can't wait to go back!
A perfect getaway!
The house has amazing views of the ocean and is nearby lots of activities - hiking, beaches, wineries. We also enjoyed cooking most of our meals at the home. We look forward to staying at Desire again in the future.
Amazing view in comfort!
Spent an amazing weekend in this beautiful home. The views are breathtaking. Very close to downtown Mendocino. We were lucky to be there for the grey whale migration. After exploring Point Cabrillo lighthouse and other beaches for whale sighting, we were delighted to watch for whale spouts from the porch and living room! What a treat! Hope to be back soon!
