About this property

SWEEPING OCEAN FRONT VIEW, PRIVATE & SECLUDED - Cove Suite

If you want the amazing view of Mother Nature from the privacy of your cliff side suite, come to Cypress Cove.
The Cove Suite is located directly across the Bay from the quaint village of Mendocino. Just a short mile south of Mendocino this outstanding private location is set on the oceanfront bluffs of Chapman Point, a natural curve of land that reaches out into the Pacific and a twin to the Mendocino Headlands. The Mendocino Bay setting has dramatic views of the ocean and a direct view of the Mendocino Village across the Bay.

The Cove Suite has a luxurious bath with a spa tub, deck with dramatic ocean views and a cozy wood-burning fireplace.

*** Make no mistake on this property, the view is the best on the north coast, here is the general theme of all our reviews, and we have been told on many occasions " Pictures don't begin to depict the value of the view from this property".

Oh, my....this place is like a dream come true !!! The most obviously wonderful thing about it is the location. This is not, simply "water front" or "water views". This is a studio that is HANGING OUT over the ocean. No need to open the sliding doors to the deck to hear the ocean...you will hear it regardless ! I swear this is the best view I've ever had, and I have stayed in some pretty fabulous places. The studio was perfect for me and my dog. I am not sure what it is (although I'm going to ask) but this was the most comfortable bed EVER ! There is a wood stove for ambience and a little extra warmth (although the regular heat was more than adequate) and the hosts provided WOOD ! I have stayed in places with wood stoves before but I have NEVER had wood provided ! Also, I was here the first two weeks of January and there were a lot of rainstorms, the little town of Mendocino lost power several times but Dan and Laura, (my hosts), have a generator, something that made me feel pretty smug as I looked out across the bay to see Mendocino in the dark. Dan and Laura are EXCEPTIONAL as hosts and as people. I had lovely conversations with them and during the storms, Dan checked in with me to make sure the generator was coming on as it was supposed to. They made sure I had everything I needed and since I was there two weeks, they even had the place "spruced up", arranging for the cleaners to come by with fresh towels and sheets..chocolates on the pillows...it really is in the details ! This place and it's hosts are really the best I've experienced. If you are traveling in the Mendocino area, don't miss this one. REALLY. DON'T MISS IT !!!!!! Thank you, Dan and Laura ! I will be back for sure !!!

The Cove suite is the downstairs unit and is equipped with a small fridge, a sink, a toaster, a coffee pot and a microwave. This suite is the perfect solution for those who enjoy eating out and want to sample top restaurants in the Mendocino area.

This house has 4G cell phone service. We also have Comcast high Speed internet and full HD Direct TV. We list this as many vacation rentals in this area do not have any connectivity for phones or internet.

Breathtaking view

The most panoramic view in Mendocino! A perfect weekend for our 39th anniversary! It was hard to leave, since this location is so private and mesmerizing. Only a 5 minute drive from the town and all the hiking trails close by. Everything in the expansive studio was well appointed and clean. Whenever we come back to Mendocino, we will definitely stay here!

Perfect place to stay!

The location is on the edge of a cliff. The views are the best you’ll find in Mendocino. The cottage is all floor to ceiling windows facing Mendocino Bay with the town in the distance. The deck has two Adirondack chairs overlooking the bay. The bed is perfectly located so when you wake up you’re seeing the view. I can’t wait to come back and hopefully stay a little longer.

Hubby and I spent a glorious week soaking up the sun on the deck over looking the cove and relaxing listening to the ocean waves. A great get away from the hustle and bustle of work and the demands of every day schedules. Great hosts and an awesome location and well equipped place to stay. We will be back!

Peaceful getaway!

We truly enjoyed our stay! We didn’t want to leave this peaceful place. But, since our dog needed some exercise, we explored the Big River Beach which was a 2 min drive from the property and which you can also view from the deck. We will definitely come back, thank you for letting us bring our dog, Saucey!

The Cove Suite

Our stay was great. The rental property was well maintained and very clean. It was equipped with all the things we would need during our stay. It has an amazing view of Mendocino and the sound of the ocean at night was wonderful, we got some great sleep. We sat on the Balcony and had a glass of wine while we took in the view. we will certainly be back.

Peaceful and Beautiful

Located just out of town, the property did not disappoint. Beautiful property, beautiful surroundings with beautiful views and never-ending sounds of the ocean waves. In the evenings, we would drive into Mendocino to watch sunset, grab dinner then retire back to the property to start a fire and enjoy a glass of wine on the deck with views of city lights. This property was fitted with a kitchenette that was enough for us to make breakfast and water pressure was amazing for showers. I definitely recommend as a romantic retreat.

20 year anniversary

We were looking for an ideal place to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We found this gem, the pics are nice, but the experience of driving up to the place was something you have to experience to fully understand how breath taking view Dan and Laura have. When you open the door, you get hit with a great view of the ocean and Mendocino town from afar, we loved our stay and plan to return. Thank you both for letting us enjoy your beautiful place.

Spectacular Views from Well-designed Studio

The Cove Suite provides spectacular views of Mendocino and the cove in between. Laying in bed at night, the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse sweeps the studio with its faint, but constant, reassurance. From the deck, the smells of the ocean and the nearby redwood forests fill the air. At night, when it is clear, the stars fill the sky, and the sound of the waves fill your dreams. This sweet little piece of the Northern California Coast is peaceful, romantic, isolated, quiet, inspiring--whatever you need it to be.

Why they chose this property

On an anniversary weekend visit - we found this property and fell in love with the bluff location and the beautiful Mendocino Bay setting. We hope that you will feel the same way about this special place.

What makes this property unique

Sitting on the edge of the bluff you can see and hear the beach and waves breaking directly below you ... no property in California will ever be built like this again, the sweeping ocean views of Mendocino Bay during the day and stunning night views of the town of Mendocino at night. The Cove Suite at Cypress Cove is the perfect weekend getaway to relax and unwind.
