Oceantfront Estate with Luxury Kitchen & Game Room
Summary:
Cantus Cove Estate
The Space:
There's no setting on the North Coast quite like the one that awaits at Cantus Cove Estate, an oceanfront sanctuary reflecting the awe-inspiring majesty of nature. Just being on the grounds is a world-class experience, between the elegant design, the incredible closeness to nature, and the uninterrupted views of the ocean horizon. It's a cliffside retreat that stays with you for years to come, from the spectacular sunsets to the sounds of the waves crashing onto the rocks.
This blufftop home is a true escape, set on 8 private acres of oceanfront property. Passing through the entrance gate, you'll leave the world behind for the soft sounds of ocean waves and the occasional sea lion in Caspar Cove. Don't be surprised if you also spot whales while gazing at the water! It's a lovely area to walk, whether you go south to Caspar Headlands or north to the beach at Jug Handle State Natural Reserve. So much is within an easy drive as well, including picturesque Mendocino (five miles), the conveniences of Fort Bragg (six miles), and beautiful Russian Gulch State Park (five miles).
The house is a showcase of its natural setting, from the Adirondack chairs overlooking the bluff to the park-like front yard frequented by deer. Enjoy porches both in front and out back, giving you ample space to relax with your morning coffee and breathe in the cool, salty ocean air.
The three floors span 5,000 square feet, making the house ideal for families, small-group retreats, and everything in between. Enjoy views of the ocean from almost every room and the fresh, modern style of an extensive renovation (completed in 2023) which brought in all new appliances. Highlights include an immaculate kitchen (with double ovens, a beverage fridge, and other choice appliances) and a light-filled living and dining room.
Even the everyday activities feel special, thanks to the oceanfront home office (with a smart TV) and the window-lined bonus room where you can sketch or lift weights as you watch the waves roll into Cantus Cove. In the evenings, watch movies and play Ping-Pong and foosball in the game room before retiring to five inviting bedrooms.
The expansive primary suite is on the main floor, offering its own smart TV, an en suite bathroom, and direct access to the outdoors. Four more bedrooms - all with balcony access - are upstairs, including another primary suite with an en suite spa-like bathroom and a smart TV, the office (which has a gel-topped American Leather sofabed and doubles as a bedroom), and two more oceanfront guest rooms. The sixth sleeping space awaits downstairs in the basement, which also has its own windows and ocean views. The home features a central heating system for your comfort.
Things to Know
The fireplace, sauna, and greenhouse are not for guest use.
Please watch your step on all walkways (which get slippery) and stay away from cliff edges. Do not attempt to access Cantus Cove. Its cliffs are unstable and the cove gets sleeper waves that can wash people out to sea.
Streaming services are available with guests' own account credentials.
The twin bedroom and office share a bathroom.
Outside activities and noise levels must not disturb the neighbors.
Alcohol is not permitted anywhere except the house and back patio. No smoking or vaping of any substances on the property (indoors or outdoors); in addition, illegal substances of any kind are prohibited.

Our rental was cancelled at the last minute...less than a week's notice. Our whole family was looking forward to having our reunion in Mendocino, which we have done for the last 30years. It was impossible to book another house since we are a larger group requiring multiple bedrooms. Maintenance issues are understandable but a personal explanation & apology from the host would have been appreciated.

Exceptional property. Accurate listing.
Five retired couples stayed in our group. The property was perfect for our needs. A great location between Mendocino and Fort Bragg. It was exceptionally well furnished. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was generally well stocked. The views were unsurpassed. Highly recommended.

What a view!
Million dollar views, happy family reunion with 9 adults and 1 toddler. Great accessibility to Anderson Valley, Mendocino, and Fort Bragg. Ample parking, okay wi-fi (some really struggled to stay connected or when connected still couldn't make calls), happy to have shower amenities + robes, sheets were OK - not the highest quality, and overall a really lovely stay.

Large beautiful oceanfront property
We all enjoyed our stay at Cantus Cove Estate. We stayed with our adult children and grandchildren. The home is beautiful and clean. The amenities and were modern with high quality. We enjoyed our time on the back deck watching the sunset. Keep in mind that the home is on a bluff so there can be a lot of wind at times at the back of the home facing the oceanfront but at the same time little wind in the front. We enjoyed our walk to the beach from the home which is about a 3/4 mile walk to Jug Handle Beach. The trail can be found on google maps and is little hidden and is nice way to walk to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked and we found all the what we needed to prepare a few meals. We definitely would love to return to the house for another stay. The property manager was also very helpful with making sure that they we had access to them if needed and sent us email / text to check if we needed anything during our stay.
