We love to travel off the beaten path and this place is magical! Cozy, rugged, quiet, except for the ocean beating on the rocks, wonderful walking trails and good eats in both nearby towns! we both read a whole novel for the first time in a while - it's that simple and restful. Eagerly plan to return...hosts were great!

Room was perfect, like a large hotel room with kitchenette. There was an issue with the fridge, but owner fixed it immediately. It was the perfect place to relax and recover. Owner is very sweet and gracious. We enjoyed our stay very much. Be aware, you can see through the outside window into the shower. That maybe uncomfortable for some, but didn’t bother us as there is no one nearby to see.

I absolutely loved my time here.

Cozy, peaceful, private. The view is simply breathtaking. Being this close to the water was so healing and restorative for me. The hospitality was amazing, too. Every thoughtful detail made me feel welcome and right at home. I felt as if I were staying at the home of a close friend, not a vacation rental. I hope to return soon.

Quiet, secluded, beautiful spot right on the bluffs’ edge overlooking the Pacific. Convenient location close to Mendocino and numerous state parks, hikes,etc.The unit was clean, comfortable with lots of useful amenities. The hosts were very nice and left a note with info on how to easily reach them if we needed anything.This was our second stay here and well worth it.

Perfect Stay

Do not hesitate to book this property. The views are out of this world. In addition the extra touches they provided with this property are top notch including milk, a bottle of wine, water and a couple of local beers, the yummy cookies they baked for us, the coffee and filters and also loved they had extra pillows. We appreciated the toaster oven which allowed us to make breakfast. We could not have asked for anything more.

This place was quite amazing. Don’t think you can get any closer to the ocean. We were greeted with treats and all the basic amenities. It was even better in person. Very clean and comfortable. We saw lots of birds and the space was very private and easy to find. Highly recommended.

This was a return visit after many years and everything was as beautiful, restful and amazing as we recalled. Barry and Karen are both wonderful hosts- friendly and responsive as well as very respectful of their guests privacy. We spent eight nights and couldn’t get enough of the incredible views. In fact, other than going for strolls in nearby Russian Gulch State Park and to Fort Bragg for groceries/take out deli lunches and dinners we didn’t venture far from the property. The hideaway is beautifully decorated, spacious, and clean and neat and the kitchen (hidden behind folding doors ) offers everything we needed to prepare/serve our simple meals. It even has the same Port Meirion dishes we have at home. We have already booked it for a return visit next year and can hardly wait. Thank you Barry and Karen

Once in a lifetime stay!

This was the prettiest place we’ve ever stayed. The cottage was wonderfully decorated and very comfortable. The views from the patio and picture windows were unbelievable. Beautiful grounds and perfect location. Communication with our hosts was excellent. This place spoils me for any other rental I might ever visit.
