Little River coastal beauty

We loved our stay at the house! It had stunning views and was well equipped with amenities to get us started! We were bummed the fire place didn’t work as it was fairly chilly in the main part of the house in the morning and evening. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would love to go back!

Loved It!

We had a great stay celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. The property management went to the extra length of recognizing our special day with signage and a special treat at the bar. The house was beautiful, comfortable, great views, and near everything we wanted to do. We would definitely stay at this property again and can highly recommend.

We went here for my fathers 80th birthday celebration. It was perfect! The property was even more beautiful than the pictures and the house has a lovely cozy atmosphere. Adults, seniors and children all loved it and had plenty of room. The views were great too of course! Checkin was smooth and simple and the house was super clean. It was perfect in every way for us and we hope to return again someday .Thanks for all the personal touches and!

The house was wonderful. My only objection was the check in process. Not sure why we had to drive into Mendocino to get a paper telling us what the door code was. An email would have been better. Other than that it was a terrific weekend. Beautiful house and wonderfully appointed. We'll be back :)

Beautiful location with lots of privacy

The location is lovely, great views of the ocean, although best observed from the upper level viewing chairs inside. There is a huge wraparound deck, with one side facing the ocean, and the other facing the secluded forest. The hot tub location faces the forest, and was very private and quiet. My negative note is the sofa in the living room is quite old, to the point where some of the seams are coming undone. Overall, this was a very nice home with an excellent location, and would be great for a family gathering.

Great location, beautiful house!

The location is gorgeous. It's a treat to watch the ocean and the sunset from the top level of the house or from the porch. The house is clean and in good condition, with beautiful kitchen and good furnishings. The towel folding art was impressive. As minor suggestions for improvement, having the windows washed would improve the enjoyment of the view, and including a starter amount of shampoo and cooking oil would save a 30m drive to Safeway for people who didn't read the welcome emails closely enough or forgot to pack them.

Even better than you’d think

Absolutely gorgeous property - the pictures don’t do it justice, especially the panoramic view of the ocean. Perfectly arranged for a family group to have their own spaces for sleeping and privacy but also communal spaces to spend time together. Location was fantastic too. A short drive to Mendocino and many parks and hiking trails, but a feeling of privacy and seclusion on the property itself. The property manager was great; couldn’t have been easier. We were also impressed by how well-stocked the kitchen was.

Lucky Sunshine Days in Late Winter

The house is comfortable for one to two couples and has a picturesque view of the ocean. Nice amenities such as two fireplaces, a spa hot tub, gas grill, good internet reception, and 3 private baths. Well equipped kitchen and a washer-dryer included. Master BR mattress needs to be replaced and upgraded, though. House is in a great location on the Mendocino coast for getting to nearby towns, restaurants, shops/grocery stores, banks within a relatively short drive.

Beach getaway

We stayed at this beach house for five nights. Most of the evenings were clear and we could see ocean views from the upper level. The fireplace was nice with wood provided. Unfortunately the stove had two burners that did not work. That was a real bummer. It’s important to note that this kitchen is not equipped for a chef. The very minimal basics are provided.We ran out of firewood on day two, but after communicating with the owner he delivered more. The house itself is in OK condition, but definitely in rental shape.
