Hidden treasure!

We loved our stay at the Ocean Tree House, tucked away in the trees. The house was spotless with great amenities. As others have mentioned we particularly enjoyed the view from the deck and watching the many varieties of birds feeding - what a treat! Tanya was a great host, very responsive to our questions. We would definitely come back!

Perfect for Christmas

as a long time resident of Irish Beach, I am very familiar with all the vacation rentals. When it came time to book a rental for my daughter and family, this was my choice. The home and property is well maintained and regularly upgraded. The sheltered location protects it from the often nasty northwest prevailing wind making the outside deck warm and sunny. It is in a quiet area with few other rentals. It is just a nice cozy spot.

Peaceful Paradise

The Ocean Tree House is an amazing place to stay. The home is clean and comfortable. It's fun for kids, and adults, to feed and watch the different birds come eat. Also the deck is great for stargazing at night. This is a lovely little gem in Irish Beach.

Comfortable bed, pretty comforter on bed. Spotless and user friendly bathrooms, very relaxing living room. We did not use the wood stove for heating because the temperature was quite comfortable. Highly recommend this home. Garage was a real plus.

A Home Away from Home

The wonderful Ocean Tree House could be described as Organic, Artistic and Peaceful! All the teas and bathroom products are organic and the home design and decorations are quite artistic... Loved the round window in the master bath and the peaceful tub. A wonderful spacious deck surrounded by trees and the sound of the ocean waves crashing at the shore. The home is well furnished with all the necessities in the kitchen, bathrooms and beach supplies. The private beach is a special place to enjoy the ocean experience. Wifi and TV was perfect with Netflix, Prime and my favorite Apple TV provided. It's good to notice the steep driveway and many stairs to climb to the tree house making it challenging for the mobility challenged individuals... Overall is truly a Home Away from Home! and we loved it...

Quet, Clean, and Pretty

I can't say enough how much I loved this place. The views from the windows into the trees or the wildflowers were amazing. There's SO MANY gorgeous birds here. It feels like a home away from home. The kitchen was well stocked with any pots, pans, dishes, or appliances you might need. The beds were comfortable. The Jacuzzi tub was glorious. We had a couple questions and the property owners responded quickly. We will be back next year!

We were traveling right after a big storm and she communicated power outage/restoration issues to us asap and provided us with options that met our needs best. We had a tiny issue getting into the garage after the power outage and she was quick to help us out. Highly recommend this home! It was lovely!

weekend getaway

The Ocean Tree House is the perfect weekend getaway! The rooms were clean and all well appointed, the stove in the living room was perfect to warm the cabin on our rainy days and nights and the private beach just down the road was the perfect spot for the whole family to take in the beautiful rustic northern California coast. Cecile was quick to respond to our questions and left clear instructions. We will definitely be going back!

Love this place

We’ve stayed here several times, and at this point it feels like home. We were here over Thanksgiving, and it was so lovely, from feeding the birds and birdwatching, to beach hikes and neighborhood walks. Our little dog, an 8 pound terrier with an 80 pound personality, is downright chill in this environment. Just a quiet and cozy space that feels like home.

Irish Beach Magic

This is a beautiful and well appointed home. It is set back from the coast view, but only a few minute drive or 20 minute walk to the beach. It offers quiet forest views with all the comforts of home. Great hiking and restaurants in driving distance. Lovely.

Comfortable, large, 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Irish Beach

This property is very comfortable for 2 people and would be good for up to 4 people with plenty of room for everyone. The property is in a quiet location quite near both Irish Beach and Manchester Beach State Park. The homes in the area are quite spread out so it feels private and is in fact quiet. There are black-tailed deer and birds everywhere. The wrap-around deck of the house mostly overlooks a forested area, and faces west with a tiny peek of the ocean. The house's interior is clean and well-kept with new wood floors and modern clean kitchen appliances in perfect working order, as well as a large washer and dryer in a separate laundry room. The bed in the master bedroom is comfy, the towels thick and soft. We also appreciated being able to park our car in the garage at night, even though one cannot access the interior of the house through the garage. We especially enjoyed being able to relax on the deck in the mornings and evenings before and after visiting beaches, lighthouses, redwood forests, and other wonderful places along the coast. We stayed here for one week - this property was very comfortable for us as a couple and would also be spacious enough for up to 4 people with plenty of room for everyone.

Relaxing Getaway

Our stay at the ocean treehouse was very nice. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was organized and the fenced in deck and yard was perfect for our pup. We all enjoyed feeding & watching the birds while sipping on our morning coffee. Irish beach did not disappoint either! Would definitely recommend this house to others. Use of the garage made the steep driveway situation a lot easier to navigate as well. Perfect place to stay while attending a wedding in nearby Elk.

Relaxing Getaway

My husband and I had a very relaxing week here. The home is well stocked. We cooked or BBQ'd every night and the kitchen had everything we needed. Comfortable beds and family room furniture. The grocery store in Manchester has full line of food, etc. We enjoyed the Adirondack chairs on the deck as well as folding beach chairs we found in a bdrm closet. Also had fun at the private beach, drove there since too steep to walk it. We were thankful to be able to park in the garage since the driveway is also very steep. The only reason I didn't give this a full 5-star rating is because of the bright sun glaring on the family room wall from 5-7:30 pm everyday due to the large windows on the top of west-facing wall not having window covers.

Perfect beach retreat!

We went to the Ocean Tree House with parents (elderly, limited mobility) and and the dog, ad everyone had a wonderful time! The place really is wonderful, the setting is terrific, and we felt right at home with the amenities and decor. Cleanliness was excellent. Stairs are steep (especially for my parents) but very manageable through the garage, which was kindly accessible from our hosts. Setting is ideal, just to relax and hang around the house all day, or to go to the nearby amazing private beach (5 minute drive) or even walk around the neighborhood (with a lovely pond), or to venture further afield to Mendocino or Ft Bragg and points between. General store about 10' drive has everything you need, and friendly. Owners are easily contacted, respond promptly, and seem very kind. Loved it so much we definitely hope to be back sometime!
