It was a pleasurable experience. The house was everything we needed and located in a perfect place. My family was in town for 50 k ultra race and it was convenient to everything we wanted to see. The house was comfortable, roomy and had a great view of the sunsets every night. It felt very private and safe. Well stocked in the kitchen and bedrooms, but we couldn’t find the washer and dryer. We didn’t need it but the check out instructions mentioned it. We would certainly rent again if back in Mendocino

Great location!
It was spacious yet cozy and warm on our cool drizzly days. It was a perfect distance
for a walk into town to eat or go shopping.

We really enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful and spacious house, amazing views, we loved gas log fireplace, steam shower and whirlpool bathtub. :-) Just note that you do have to drive to get everywhere if only for a few minutes.
The house is spacious, with great amenities - well equipped kitchen, reliable wi-fi and tv. It is overlooking the ocean and less than a mile to the village.
The lights above the Murphy bed in the small bedroom could not be used

Rain or shine, a lovely stay!
What a beautiful place to stay! We enjoyed watching the ocean and the ever-changing sky--from blue, to stormy gray. The home is well-appointed and very comfortable. Location couldn't be better for exploring all the area has to offer.
We will definitely book again!
