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.

(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!

Cozy and beautiful
Our visit to the cove suit was just as we expected it to be based off of reviews and the listing. Very well kept and clean little studio with amazing views! All amenities listed are accurate and just what we needed for a couples get away. We mostly ate out and had easy to make breakfast and dinners to make in the small kitchen, but it was perfect. Thank you to Dan and Laura for answering all of our questions quickly, easy checkout/check in, and for sharing your sweet little cove home!

Beautiful and so relaxing!
Amazing bluff view of whitewater cove on 2 sides, lovely and spacious studio with windows on 2 walls and an awesome deck. Sunny but windy during our stay so only short stays on the deck but view from inside was at least as good! Dan was a terrific host and very responsive. We hope to come back soon!

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.

Another Magical Stay at Cypress Cove
Crashing waves, location, location, location!! Relaxing, private studio cottage with gorgeous views. This visit we used the induction/hot plate for cooking breakfast. It was easy to use and provided another meal option which allowed for a romantic morning on the deck. Dan and Laura are gracious hosts with welcoming brandy and a special bottle of champagne in celebration of my husband’s 75th birthday ! Cypress Cove is magical and pet friendly too. We would give it 10 stars!! Thank you Dan and Laura, Fred, Eileen and Maggie

Another great experience at Chapman Cove
This is the third time we stayed at this property. This time we stayed in the lower unit. It was great because there were no steps. Their homes are very clean and they are very communicative. I will definitely be back. I will be missing the sound of the ocean for sometime.

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.

A relaxing respite
Cypress Cove is an ideal spot to enjoy the Mendocino coast. Situated cliffside above the waves, though close enough to experience the swell intimately. Secluded and private, yet a short 5-minute drive to the village and hiking trails. It's just what we were looking for.

The Pacific at your doorstep!
The small studio dwelling was just perfect for a 4-night romantic and relaxing holiday in Mendocino. The only sound you could hear was the ocean’s symphony. The unit was on a private road with complete privacy. The room was arranged to make the most of the space. The bed was super comfortable and you had everything you would need for a pleasant stay.

A Special Place
We absolutely love staying at the Cove in Mendocino. We have been staying at this spot since the late 90’s and although we have visited a few other hotels and vacation rentals this is our favorite. It has everything you might desire to enjoy and relax for a long weekend or more. Amazing view of the ocean, lovely sound of the sea, fresh air and a cozy unit with a warm and welcoming feel. Clean and well stocked with a couple of nice surprises… You’ll see. Just delightful!!

Coming Home
My husband and I have been coming to Mendocino for over 40 years...it is our special place. This was our first time staying at the Cove and we felt like we have found our "new home". The views are stunning with the waves crashing and the sounds of the ocean 24/7, looking across to the Mendocino skyline. We enjoyed the privacy in a very quiet neighborhood. The Suite has everything you would need to prepare meals and was one of the best stocked kitchens we have stayed at. The wood burning stove was nice in the evenings and provided an additional layer of coziness. This was our 47th anniversary and we will be back for our 48th and a birthday or two as well. Dan and Laura have put a lot of thought into the details for a romantic, cozy hideaway. Our time was truly magical. Thank you Dan and Laura

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.

Peaceful and relaxing getaway!
The view from the large deck and from inside looking thru all the large floor to ceiling windows was absolutely amazing! The hosts provided everything you could need. It was very tastefully decorated reflecting the ocean. Furniture was very comfortable. Location was easy to find and quiet and yet still just a few minutes from town. The hosts were quick to answer any questions we had, and because of their graciousness we will be back. This is one of our favorite places now!

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.
