My wife and I stayed for three nights with our adult son and his girlfriend. The house is nicely decorated and furnished in its own style that we found delightful. We ate out in town the first night, but for the next two we chose to make dinner in the well-equipped kitchen and talk through the evening in front of the fireplace. Highly recommended.

The house is adorable. Very comfortable for three grey haired gals and a 12 lb dog. Very ell stocked kitchen, bathrooms, cozy blankets upstairs and down. Great selection of books, games and wonderful view of the sunset. This charming historical house is a few minutes drive from downtown with so many great shops and all the restaurants we went to were delicious. We love the Botanical Garden, the State Parks along Hwy 1 have great hiking trails, walks along the beach and Sea Ranch Chapel is worth the drive. In a week we could not see everything so we will be back but unfortunately we need to stay at a home without bedrooms upstairs, for us old gals it was hard carrying luggage upstairs but the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs are very comfy with ocean views, we all slept well in the comfortable beds and the shower was great! The house was very clean and well loved. Such charm!

Property is charming, comfortable and convenient. And in a gorgeous location with a spectacularly framed view of the ocean.The only constructive comments are that it would be easier to have the house instructions printed and available at the property. And upon entering there is a strong musty smell that sometimes wafts through the house, even upstairs. But luckily it’s not always present. To end on a positive note, the hosts or management are good communicators and provided a lovely welcome.

Excellent communication from host on every aspect! Checking in/out, things to do in the area, things to know about the house, etc. Kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the hand soaps & kleenex in many rooms. Nice towels, comfortable beds, blankets on the sofas for cuddling, bbq, car port was helpful in the rain, ample seating in each room. A great stay!

Nice place to relax

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location and comfy home. A few things to callout for the owner to look at. A little home maintenance can go a long way.-Foul smell coming from the garbage disposal. I think it needs to be cleaned out thoroughly. -Faucet sprayer on sink is very loose and just flops around.-Handle in the shower downstairs just spins around so it's hard to find the right temperature and turn off. -Drain in upstars and downstair shower are very slow to drain.Overall a great place to stay. It just needs some serious TLC.

Great stay!

The property was charming and homey. It was nice to hear the waves crashing at night and the crackling, cozy fireplace. Our bed was comfy. We liked the location too, just outside of town but easy access. The management company was easy and responsive. We enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Wonderful Property!

This was our second stay at this property. It is a very charming historic house with amazing views of the ocean from most all of the rooms. The cozy parlor is a perfect place to pass an afternoon reading a book or playing a game by the fire. The house is very convenient to the grocery store at the end of the street, the beach and to the town of Mendocino.

A Home Away From Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: What an amazing retreat! We chose this place over a nearby inn or bed and breakfast because of the more affordable price, and it did not disappoint. We were in town for a wedding, and it was the perfect distance from the venue, as well as neighboring towns and local shops.The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay—even creamer for the coffee maker, which was stocked with coffee grounds. We didn’t have any issues during our stay that required reaching out to the property managers; the instructions provided were clear, detailed, and easy to follow.While it didn’t have AC, the temperature is pleasant year-round, and if it ever gets chilly, there are baseboard heaters and a fireplace on the first floor (with firewood and kindling included). Quaint and quiet—just what we needed. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, this is a great spot!

Gorgeous Location

Wonderful spot on planet earth. Views from all rooms of the ocean, even while it rained. Breathtaking sunsets. And they let us bring our dogs. Nice fireplace and the local radio station KOZT made everything groovy. We went to the Harvest Market the first night and bought hot clam chowder and sourdough for dinner. The next night we has fresh dungeness crab. Mendo baby.
