About this property

Buckhorn Cove Ocean Front with Private Peninsula

This once-in-a-lifetime retreat offers unsurpassed views of the spectacular Mendocino coastline and iconic Buck Horn Cove. With over three acres, this property features a private peninsula where you can truly experience the power and beauty of the mighty Pacific. The main house includes three bedrooms, two downstairs, and a large primary suite on the second level with a private bath and balcony. There is also a private guest cottage that includes a freestanding gas fireplace and a private bath. The large deck has a sunken hot tub situated in the perfect location to relax and be mesmerized by the everchanging views. Because of the cliff-front location, there is a minimum age of 10 years and over required for any guests. Please note that the staircase at the top of the bluff is restricted, and no access is allowed.

Although Buckhorn Cove is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 2.

magical, stunning view!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very well maintained and the view from the deck is incredible. Overall, we enjoyed Mendocino very much but the wind was a little tough. We were unable to sit on the deck as much as we would have liked. Also, our internet went out and the management was unable to fix the problem. They tried but it was still unfortunate. We think they should have contacted the provider. Still, we would recommend this property to anyone visiting Mendocino. Best view anywhere! We loved the Good Life Bakery and Cafe and also Luna Trattoria. Highly recommend. The cliff walk in Mendocino was breathtaking and we enjoyed Montgomery woods and the Skunk Train.

Having arrived in the middle of a storm, we were surprised and happy to find the house had back up power. While some things didn’t function, the majority of the house did. Heat, lights, hot water were not a problem.

Amazing spot!

Visited for my birthday and could not be happier with my visit. Even with the winter weather i was able to enjoy the views from the family room and the peninsula, in fact the weather made it even more dramatic! Cozy, warm, comfortable and still able to enjoy the ocean!

Perfection!

This was our first stay on the CA coast and Buckhorn Cove did nothing but amaze us! There are no pictures that will do the view justice!!! Don’t second guess booking! Just do it! Mendocino is such a great town and everyone was so kind!!! We will be back!
