With a private hot tub, a gorgeous outdoor deck, and an enviable location overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this three-bedroom Manchester vacation home is an ideal destination for guests in search of coastal tranquility. Beautifully secluded in the small town of Manchester in Northern California, this two-level home is 24 miles north of Gualala, 26 miles south of Mendocino, and only a quarter-mile from the wild and rugged ocean beach.
The Space:
Full of natural light and ocean views, the lofty living space brings the scenic outdoors in. Watch for passing whales and harbor seals from a seat on the sectional sofa, warm yourself by the rustic wood stove, or play a movie on the retractable flatscreen TV. Watch the sun go down each evening from the comfort of a lounge chair on the deck, or gather your family around the picnic table for a high-stakes game of poker. There's no better way to enjoy the brisk coastal breezes than from the warmth of the ocean-facing hot tub.
The full kitchen enjoys a panoramic view of both the ocean and the living room, while a variety of cooking tools makes meal preparation easy and relaxing. You'll find an open dining room with seating for six, as well as a dishwasher to take care of the after-dinner chores. A grill outside offers opportunities for barbecues on sunny days.
We encourages guests to explore the nearby beach or take a scenic drive along California Highway One. And don't worry about keeping your clothes salt- and sand-free - there's a washer and dryer, as well as a convenient half-bathroom, in the garage.
No matter your outdoor interests, Manchester is an ideal home base for fishing enthusiasts, abalone divers, hikers, and motorists. Take in one of the most beautiful sunset views in California at the Point Arena Lighthouse just ten miles south, or stop by Manchester State Park to find five miles of sandy beach and fields of seasonal wildflowers. Escape the crowds and enjoy the natural beauty of the Northern California Coast today!

Nice, relaxing, and so comfortable
We had the best time in this clean, relaxing home. Best view ever!
We loved this place! It had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. The deck and view are incredible; we watched whales all day long. This place is a gem.
The ocean views and private beach near this property are incredible and made for an amazing stay. The neighborhood is quiet and serene, we had deer visit the back yard almost every day! The fireplace and atmosphere in the home is so cozy and inviting. An absolute gem for a relaxing getaway.
Super nice location with great views! We used the hot tub every morning and night and listened to the ocean waves. The kitchen was more stocked than usual places we stayed at and had plenty of equipment to make everything we needed. There’s also foosball in the garage. Lots of room to park 3+ cars if needed. It was a very relaxing stay. They also have plenty of board games and puzzles
Gorgeous view from the hot tub, quiet location. Well stocked kitchen. Wished we could have stayed longer. Only complaint was the entire home was infested with ants!
Nice quiet neighborhood w magnificent ocean view. Great house layout. Love this rental property. There are pots and pans, basic oil n spices, sewing kit, rubber bands, plastics wraps, foil, tooth picks. Very thoughtful. Would like to purchase this house or one house on the same street in the neighborhood if we were younger.
Surprised my husband for his 60th and wow!!! This place was amazing! The view was incredible. The house was cozy and had all the amenities. Location was easy to access. Private hot tub with an ocean view….beautiful! Look forward to our next visit.
We took friends and family to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday. The house was comfortable and laid out perfectly with ideal views from so many windows. Irish beach is a treasure too. Unexpected! We had the best time in ideal surroundings. And that hot tub on the deck…divine.
The only issue is no Wi-Fi. It was ok for my wife and I but the other couple had work related issues. Please let us know when you get Wi-Fi.

Thanksgiving in Irish Beach
This was a lovely coastal home in Irish Beach. Kitchen very well equipped for our Thanksgiving dinner. Ocean Views are spectacular but not quite “oceanfront”. Quite a hike or short drive to get to the beach. Queen beds were very comfy on the 1st floor. However, the loft “twin beds” were actually mattresses on the floor. We enjoyed the hot tub, even in the rain! Plenty of living space which we kept warm with a cozy fire.
