This is an amazing property. One of my favorites we have stayed out. It's perfect for a family or group get together. The back yard area overlooking the ocean is perfect, and the property is well furnished and equipped for cooking and spending time there. Highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful private property with an amazing back porch, we could see whales every night of our stay. The kitchen is so nicely stocked for a rental. The place has beautiful touches and feels alive and lived in (in a great way). Master bedroom is amazing. Conveniently located to mendo and state parks. 10/10 stay would love to come back.

The house, property, view, and location were amazing! The morning hikes into Russian Gulch State Park and the endless views and sound of the ocean while hanging out on the back deck or inside playing games with our family and our dog, made this our absolute favorite rental! Clean and comfortable with the most interesting book collection! We will definitely be returning!!

We had a wonderful stay at Rosemary’s Retreat with three generations of our family. The home is beautiful, comfortable, and very well appointed, with incredible views and such a peaceful atmosphere. We especially loved discovering the photo albums tucked into the bookcase—I assume they document Rosemary’s Retreat being built, and they were such a charming personal touch.A little tip for future guests: the house can be a bit tricky to find, so definitely download the entry instructions before arriving, as there’s no cell service until you’re connected to the Wi-Fi. The bathrooms could use a little TLC, but they were completely functional and didn’t detract from our stay.The rest of the home is truly stunning, and the setting made it a wonderful place to relax and spend time together as a family. Our host was incredibly responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already talking about a return visit!

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re so happy Rosemary’s Retreat gave your three generations a beautiful place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy time together. We love hearing that the photo albums added a special touch to your stay. We also really appreciate the helpful note about downloading the arrival instructions ahead of time. That’s excellent advice for future guests, and we’ll certainly keep your feedback about the bathrooms in mind as we continue caring for the home. Most of all, it means so much to know that the views, peaceful setting, and comfort of the house made your family getaway memorable. We’d be absolutely delighted to host you all again!

The house was beautiful and the view was incredible. Great access to the state park and so close to beach access. Great space and kitchen. Loved the walk out to the cliffs.

We’ve stayed in many homes over the past several years and this by far has been our favorite. The house has a perfect layout for a large family. The master bedroom is incredible, with several sitting areas to enjoy the beautiful views. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. We also loved that it was near Russian Gulch State Park, which has great hiking and access down to the ocean. It’s also a very large lot so the kids had plenty of space to play outdoor games. We are already talking about booking this house for next year!

Family & Chosen Family Retreat

We loved this vacation! Beautiful home and location. Every year we travel to the area and have to say this rates one of our top favorite stays! Everything we needed or wanted was in the home snd walking distance to state beaches! It was unusually warm this year so a few extra fans were needed but a quick drive into town and we were all set! The dogs were thrilled with the yard and awaiting toys, and the games and books made resting evenings a perfect garhering time for our party of 8! Everyone was comfy and the views were stunning! We so loved our stay at Rosemary's Retreat!

Stunning property!

The pictures in the listing do not do this place justice. It is absolutely gorgeous. The decor is very eclectic, but rich and the whole place has beautiful surprises around every corner. The property around the house is gorgeous as well. And I can’t say enough good things about it. If I were a wealthy person, I would make a very attractive offer to purchase the property.

BEWARE

Not as advertised. Pull down dirt gravel road for 1/2 mile. Come to cobweb covered gate. Yard is dead; weeds, dirt, no maintenance. Front entry is broken slider with padlock for security. Can not lock/secure slider from inside. Safety issue. Everything you touch is broken. Maintenance IS NOT important here. Bath water looked like pee. The ONLY plus for this property is the view. Mgmt Co was very difficult to work with. Do not give this owner you $$$$.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay, Cindy. We are sorry to hear that the property and its description fell short of your expectations. The issues you reported are being reviewed and appropriately addressed. While we wish we had been allowed the opportunity during your stay, upon your departure, we immediately fixed the interior locking issue you reported. The owners will shortly be replacing the entire front door. It is on order. Please rest assured that Vacasa and the owners take the comfort and security of our guests extremely seriously. As noted in our welcome message, cellular service at the property is dependent on the guests’ cellular provider. After years of drought in Mendocino County, the property has several front yard landscaping zones that are in the process of being replanted using a water-wise design approach. The return of Fall and Winter rains will also bring a green meadow to the ocean bluff below the house. Right now, it is the warmth and dryness of late Summer and early Fall. Thank you again for your feedback. The property listing will be reviewed and revised to help better set guest expectations. We hope they remain high.

Stunning Location

Rosemary's Retreat is a gorgeous property and clearly a beloved family home. It has an absolutely stunning location (better than the photos) and you can spend the entire time just staring at the ocean. The location is walkable to the gorgeous Russian Gulch State park, with nice hiking trails. The home is clean, spacious and well-equipped. The living room sectional is devine. My only suggestion would be to add some reading chairs to the back porch. Our dog loved the outdoor area and the home is extremely pet friendly, which is so appreciated. We had a very frustrating arrival process. You should 100% stay here but you need to know a few simple things that were not communicated prior to arrival. Most importantly, it is very likely that you will not have cell service at the home. Since all instructions are on an app, if you do not screenshot BOTH the access codes and the wifi password ahead of time, you may have issues. (We had screenshotted the access code but not the wifi). Your GPS also probably will not get you to the right place, so ask ahead of time for specific driving directions. Finally, the padlock to access the door operates differently than every other padlock we have ever used. We had to drive back into Mendocino to get cell service and call Vacasa's call center twice before being able to get a local contact. All of this could have been avoided with better instructions and a direct local contact number provided in advance.
