Summary:

Ocean Trails



The Space:

Located down a quiet road, this recently updated and inviting ground-level getaway is the perfect home base for your next family vacation in spectacular Mendocino! Inside this modern, sunlit home, you'll find a well-equipped full kitchen, a large dining table for meals or family game nights, and a living area with a cable-equipped flatscreen smart TV and a warming wood stove. This home also includes a game room with a full-size pool table and table-top arcade for when you're craving a little friendly competition.

This very spacious house was perfect for our large family. The kids (ages 16-21) loved playing pool and soaking in the jacuzzi, plus, there is plenty of lawn space to throw the football around. The adults loved sipping on a glass of wine on the deck. Another bonus is that it was so close to Russian Gulch State Park, which has beautiful hiking and access down to the ocean.

This was a girlfriend trip. (Old girls.) We were pleased with the cleanliness of the place, the comfortable beds and furniture, the loveliness of the property and the easy access to state parks, the botanical garden, and Mendocino itself, which is a gem. The hot tub worked fine, and I can see how a group of more varied ages would enjoy the game room. Having read reviews of Vacasa online that were less than favorable, I was very happy to find this place up to standard.

Great Family Gatherings

The house and property were ideally located, with great amenities-hot tub playroom, decks, fenced in back yard. It was spacious and open, good natural light, well supplied kitchen (but not enough oyster shuckers), very clean, electronic front door keypad, great views, and just a great open layout for family. Will rent again soon!

The house layout was perfect for our group. It provided most everything we needed. The location was perfect and view was beautiful. On a warm sunny day, the deck was amazing. Of course, the hot tub was enjoyable at all times. My dog loved the backyard and walking in the nearby State Park.

The perfect Mendocino getaway!

This was the perfect house for our ladies’ weekend get away. A fully equipped kitchen made it easy to cook delicious meals, the open living room/kitchen area was perfect for hanging and eating and spending time together. With Russian gulch down the road and a hot tub at the house, there was no reason to leave in our one full day! Incredible views and luscious landscaping provided such a beautiful space and we loved it! Will book again!

We really enjoyed ourselves. It was a very private, quiet getaway. Beautiful views from all the windows. The house was very clean and very well stocked. We were very close to the Russian Gulch State Park and we went on some wonderful walks. Also we had so much fun playing Ms PAC Man - brought back memories!!! Would love to stay again.

Family Spring Break ‘24

This property was absolutely perfect for our family trip! It met everyone’s desires for our stay! The pool table was absolutely the frosting on the cake for all the “boys”. The hot tub was amazing and the view!!! The floor plan was so well laid out. Everyone had room to chill and there was plenty of room for us all to gather together as well. This will definitely be a repeated request! Thank you for sharing this home!

Mendocino Get Away

Overall a great stay. Plenty of privacy for our 3 separate families along with a wonderful sun room/family room to gather in. The rec room was great for the kids. There were 2 coffee grinders but we couldn't get either to work so used the blender. We did run out of water but that was quickly taken care of after notifying management.

Ocean Trails family vacation

First impression of the house is great location, newly remodeled and plenty of room. During our stay however we found many issues with appliances not working or miss represented, hot tub in poor condition, leaky faucets, and uncomfortable beds. For the money I would not recommend this property.

Ocean Trails vacation

We had a great time and enjoyed the deck, pool table, great kitchen and most of the house. We did feel the inside is getting a little run down and the outside needed some attention cleanliness, bugs, walkway to the hot tub needed to be lit up. It was very dark and the stairway was uneven and difficult for an older person to navigate.

Perfect size.

We had a nice time in Mendocino and enjoyed our stay at this house. Perfect size so everyone had privacy and everything was in working order. Certain areas weren’t as clean as they should be (dust under beds, pots and pans greasy, etc.) but I think that has to do more with a deep cleaning needed then just preparing for the next guests. (And I imagine finding time to do this is difficult). We enjoyed using the game room, piano and hot tub... added benefits to renting this house.

Good experience overall

House is in a great location, private and quiet. Kitchen is well stocked with lots of room. Beautiful view from the sitting room. Mattresses were disappointing, as well as the kitchen chairs. We did enjoy our stay but had one bad experience with termites for two days. Lost sleep one night as a few of them ended up in our bed. Management could have dealt with the situation a little differently. Seemed to downplay the incident. Overall, everyone enjoyed the stay.

Peaceful and well appointed home

We enjoyed our stay at Ocean trails. The kitchen was well appointed which was really nice since we are a family of cooks. The home was very comfortable. We taught our 95 year old mom how to play pool and she loved it. Lots of board games and puzzles. The front bedroom has no drapes on the sky lights so that room should be for the early risers. Loved the jacuzzi bath in the master bedroom…very relaxing. Back bedroom with three beds is great for late night star gazing. Sleep in the bed by the window and wake around 2:30AM. The fog needs to clear but has a great view of the stars and some shooting stars too.
