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). 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 Starlink high Speed internet and Smart TV's with youtubeTV . We list this as many vacation rentals in this area do not have any connectivity for phones or internet.
(There are two private suites available at Cypress Cove priced individually; See VRBO listing # 687078 The Pacifica Suite for more information).
There isn’t anything better than the suites at Cypress Cove for your next romantic getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Laura Ringer
Dan and Laura Ringer are California natives and reside in the Bay Area.
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.
