Communication: Ian (property owner) was very flexible, engaging and responsive throughout the whole rental process.
Accommodations: The house was stunning. It’s even better than the pictures in my opinion. When we walked in and saw the view it was jaw dropping (and we live on the coast so…that’s saying something). It was very clean and comfortable.
Location: remote enough to feel tranquil but still close to both Mendocino and Fort Bragg (right in between). It was about an 8 minute (easy) drive from house to downtown Mendocino.
Other: FULLY stocked house. I brought a large container of things from home to decorate the dining room table for my Mom’s 70th Birthday celebration. However, I really didn’t need to because they have everything! Placemats, nice dishes, pretty goblets, matching silverware, candles. They have a huge pantry, tons of cabinets filled with all the utensils, pans, Pyrex, mixing bowls etc. They have books, games, sonos speakers to play your music, binoculars, a pool table…they just have everything.
We used the hot tub even though it was dreary outside and it was lovely. Beach towels were ready for us in the house by the door to hot tub. So nice. We didn’t get to use the sauna (too busy) but it looked great.
The house was a little above my initial desired price range because there were only 4 of us but it was WORTH IT and it was for a special occasion. Honestly, I would do it again for a regular getaway…it was just so pretty. Can’t say enough - I hope to be able to visit again someday.
