This house is beautiful with lots of room. The ocean views in the evening are great. It is about a 15 minute drive to Fort Bragg if you want more options for restaurants. The kitchen was not very well stocked with spices. We went without salt for a couple days. If I am back in the area in the future I would likely book again

Thank you for your kind words about the space and ocean views. We're glad to hear you’d consider staying with us again and appreciate your feedback about the spices—your input helps us improve.
It was a pleasurable experience. The house was everything we needed and located in a perfect place. My family was in town for 50 k ultra race and it was convenient to everything we wanted to see. The house was comfortable, roomy and had a great view of the sunsets every night. It felt very private and safe. Well stocked in the kitchen and bedrooms, but we couldn’t find the washer and dryer. We didn’t need it but the check out instructions mentioned it. We would certainly rent again if back in Mendocino

Great location!
It was spacious yet cozy and warm on our cool drizzly days. It was a perfect distance
for a walk into town to eat or go shopping.

We really enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful and spacious house, amazing views, we loved gas log fireplace, steam shower and whirlpool bathtub. :-) Just note that you do have to drive to get everywhere if only for a few minutes.
The house is spacious, with great amenities - well equipped kitchen, reliable wi-fi and tv. It is overlooking the ocean and less than a mile to the village.
