About this property

Ocean view home with Fireplace, Hot Tub, Deck

Summary:

Whale Song



The Space:

Share an unforgettable getaway at this custom-built, modern Mendocino vacation rental. Aptly dubbed Whale Song, this remarkable home overlooks the ocean. It even has a private, oceanfront hot tub.



Perched on a lush hillside, this unique Northern California Coast lodge is close to area attractions. Just five miles away is Russian Gulch State Park for a scenic hike to a 36-foot high waterfall. The Devil's Punch Bowl, a large collapsed sea cave with churning water, is nearby too. Bike to Point Cabrillo Lighthouse and Caspar Beach - it’s all close to home.



At the rental, you’ll have everything you need to relax as you wish. Whip up a delightful meal in the fully stocked kitchen then curl up by the fireplace. Or, stay up and watch TV while everyone else goes to bed.



In the master bedrooms, you’ll have a spacious king-size bed. In the second bedroom is a queen-sized bed, and in the third bedroom a twin. Every bedroom has an ocean view and access to a private deck!



After a day hiking among the breathtaking coastal vistas of Mendocino, make sure to rejuvenate in the hot tub. While that’s going on, toss your clothes in the private washer and dryer. It’s all about a carefree vacation.



With its magnificent ocean views, stained glass, and tasteful furnishings there is something for everyone at this beautiful Northern California Coast vacation rental.

A lovely home in an ideal location, for anyone wanting a peaceful stay along the coast, with plenty to do and see in nearby Mendocino. Great views of, and breezes from, the Pacific, and it's hard to beat relaxing in the hot tub under the stars at night. Our group of four had a delightful get-together and would definitely come back!

This vacation home is in a beautiful setting with a nice ocean view. The home itself is a nice Northern California Coast design. High ceilings and lots of windows. Some of the windows are failed however so block the ocean view. The interior of the home is outdated and a bit worn and while not immaculate it is clean. The kitchen is nice! Open and airy with lots of light from the newer windows there that give a nice view of the ocean. There is plenty of dinner and cookware and every item you might need in the kitchen. Appliances look to be new and in good working order. Nice deck facing the ocean but only one plastic chair and a picnic table. We were lucky that we were only two of us and brought our own camp chairs. We thought that a house that sleeps six should have enough chairs. Nice sitting out there and great star gazing on clear nights. There is no shade though so can get really hot on sunny days. A deck umbrella or awning is really needed. The hot tub is nice but the lid must be replaced. It’s badly broken and very difficult to get back on. We could tell that it’s been broken for some time. The home was really too big for just us two but the price was right at the time and the location is great.

Let me start out by saying WOW.This place was so nice! So beautiful& super clean. I'm talking spotless clean. Whomever cleans this place has a masters degree in cleaning ok. I'm talking talented, thank you so very much for your hard work you really shine! The house itself is just beautiful. It's literally the best house in the neighborhood. It sits all the way back by itself overlooking the ocean. You can see the ocean from all the windows! Beautiful! Very peaceful quiet neighborhood. Very attentive host when you message them. I asked for a suggestion on whale watching boat tours and they suggested TelStar. It was only 63 per person for a 2 hour whale watch. Yes we did get to see whales!! The shower upstairs has the best water pressure. The water is steamy hot if you want, their water heater works very good! There are numerous hikes & state parks near the house & beaches too! If your into thrift stores or thrift shopping the town of Fort Bragg has many very low priced plentiful stores & they all support local good causes like hospice &humane society! The hot tub is clean &very nice you can see so many stars here at night too! The can opener is the electric kind, it's located in with appliances. The home is fully stocked with soapbox brand soap in the bathrooms which was super nice. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook or bake! The fire place is awesome & heats up the whole house &they provide you with bountiful ample wood in the garage.

Peaceful stay

The Whalesong neighborhood is quiet, with noise blunted by tall trees. The sound of the waves heard from the house and deck is very soothing. Sitting in the hot tub, you can see the ocean. It is very clean. There are 5 state parks within 10 miles.
