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.

The stay at the Whale Song Home was very very nice.The entire Home was just beautiful and very clean , the only issue was the door code lock at times didn't work , I reached out and got help but the issue did continue till the end of stay , the home and view and amenities made up for that however.Loved the home and would stay again.
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.
We all had a wonderful time. The house made everyone happy. We all felt @ home. It is such a beautiful home! Was so amazing to wake up to ocean view from each room! What a beautiful difference from the farm! We loved the privacy, & the closeness to Fort Bragg & Mendocino. All the stained glass was beautiful & so special. Thank you for making a much needed trip so very awesome!
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.
Grandma’s house on the coast! Absolutely loved this house and the cozy stay. Can definitely accommodate a small and/or young family. Not super baby (15 months) friendly. Things that didn’t make or break or stay but feel necessary to point out; the kitchen is fully stocked with all things to eat, drink, cook! However, we needed a can opener and the one there was a hunk of junk, also needed tin foil and something to store leftovers in (cling wrap or zip locks) and didn’t have those. A couple coffee cups still had coffee on them and a frying pan was very dirty. The couch is pretty broken in but comfy, the recliner has seen better days and could definitely be replaced. Otherwise! The views are gorgeous, hot tub is plus. The place is comfy and cozy and we would probably stay again.

Great place
Loved the views, the hot tub, and the fire place. Such a quiet relaxing spot. Would definitely come again.
House is a bit more run down compared to its condition during our previous booking two years ago. Hot tub water was cloudy and smelled like it had not been treated in a while. The driveway is terribly steep and the parking situation inconvenient- 6 guests allowed but only 2 cars and not OK to park in cul de sac above the driveway. We loved this place but will book elsewhere in the area next time, as we feel they’re charging a bit too much for a place that’s getting increasingly shabby and where the hot tub is not sparkling clean.
