Everything was just perfect! All we needed was right there in the house and a wonderful super market with anything we needed. But with that hot tub and a view like that there wasnt mh uc
The house and the views are stunning! We loved everything about the house ! Terry was very good at making us feel welcomed and made sure we had everything. We loved the beds , the Japanese styled toilets and the attention to details . Wonderful stay!
Wow! This place is awesome! Terry (host/owner) was very attentive, responsive and welcoming. The moment you walk in the door you know your in for a treat! The views are phenomenal. The beds were so comfy as well as the furnishings. The hot tub was great with the same wonderful views. Property ground were full of beautiful plants and plenty of outdoor seating. O and the message chair was a fabulous addition to relaxation. I can go on and on about this great find. We would love to stay here again sometime.
Lovely site with ocean views. Many amenities. Kitchen well equipped although toaster was not working.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at our vacation home along the Mendocino coast. Your kind words and positive feedback mean a lot to us and are greatly appreciated.
We have bought a new toaster to replace the old one.
We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the property met your expectations. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.
We had a wonderful family get away at this beautiful home, perched on top of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean! Really wanted to give it 5 stars, as the host Terry was very responsive and super helpful, but home seemed to have a few maintenance issues (Keurig coffee maker dirty/ not working, pots/ lids mismatched, out of alum foil/ saran wrap, washing machine not working properly) that made it difficult at times. Otherwise it was a lovely stay.

Thanks a lot for Betty's feedback and we are glad that she had enjoyed her stay. We have passed out the feedback to our property manager and will make sure the issues addressed properly. We thrive to provide every guest the best possible experience along the coast.
Beautiful house, right on the sea with sweeping views of the Pacific. You can enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the hot tub, the back yard, or right from the living room/bedrooms. The house is nicely updated with a cozy charm. The charming towns of Gualala and Sea Ranch are easily accessible from the property.
Our host was very responsive and accommodating. When we initially had an issue with the kitchen equipment, he and his on site manager went out of their way to make it right. Outside of this one issue, the amenities were all wonderful. The beds were very comfortable as well as all of the furniture. The bathroom supplies were all plentiful. The hot tub was enjoyed by some of our family. You could not ask for a better view of the coastline.
Incredible views and convenient location just outside town. Good layout and space for both time together and privacy. Lots of flies the whole week, even with doors and windows closed. Also, a bit of clutter including fake plants and “stuff” in every drawer and cabinet. Overall we had a great stay and would consider retuning. Hosts are great.
The property was incredibly comfortable and the location/views magical.

Lovely house with fantastic views. Well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds. Hot tub and massage chair were a nice bonus. Conveniently located…Close to beaches, hiking and restaurants. Thanks for sharing. It was a great week.
We loved the house and amenities. It had an incredible view and we lucked out with clear skies and warm weather. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends! Thanks again for a memorable vacation.

We were happy to host you, please come back anytime!
What a gorgeous home! The views were magnificent and everything about the house was just perfect for a relaxing, restorative, cozy weekend at the Coast. Our communications with both Terry and Megan were warm and friendly, the house was spotless on arrival, and truly comfortable to just hang out in. If you are looking for a perfect house on the Coast, this is it.
This is a beautiful home in an amazing location. We had the most relaxing time, exploring the area, playing games, doing puzzles. The only downside was that our stay was too short! We'll definitely be back.

Thank you so much for the nice review, Karen. We're so glad you and your family had a nice time! 💕
If you are looking for a great place to get away from it all and relax this is it. The cliffside view is amazing and perfect. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need to make great meals. The bidets were a nice added touch. The locals were very friendly. A great stay all around.
I live in the SF Bay Area and absolutely love Northern California. I love traveling and always looking for the next destination. I have been to 6 of the 7 continents.
I own a home in Gualala (along the Mendocino County coast) and spend a significant amount of time there, and love sharing my special piece of the California coast with others.
Why they chose this property
The views of the ocean are spectacular, and in particular, you will love the sunsets when the fog is offshore (although the fog can be magical). You will love sleeping to the sound of the waves. There are some fantastic restaurants and super markets, all about a 2 minute drive away. There are also some great beach spots very close by as well.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy beautiful sunrise and sunset over the Pacific Ocean from deck, patio or the hot tub; Whale watching from the house on a lucky day; Mexican food restaurant right across the street from the house
