About this property

Historic La Bella Vista - Walk to Van Damme State Park Beach!

Historic La Bella Vista offers truly exceptional ocean views from almost every room. Originally the Marsan’s Blacksmith Shop in the 1800s, this home allows you to experience a piece of history. The custom kitchen offers mesmerizing coastal views. If you don’t feel like cooking, Little River Inn and Wild Fish Restaurants are just a short ½ mile car ride away, as well as the many dining opportunities offered two miles away in the Mendocino Village. View Van Damme State Park beach from the tranquil garden, spa, deck, or patio and enjoy the sounds of the surf while watching the many seabirds and wildlife. Kayak Mendocino offers professionally guided sea cave tours where you can experience the beauty of the ocean while sitting on top of an ocean kayak. Across the street from the beach is Van Damme State Park which includes the Fern Canyon Trail system and offers hiking through acres of lush fern and pygmy forest. Also, direct access to the Spring Ranch Preserve trails with great hiking and biking along the scenic cliff line is close by. Like to golf? The Little River ocean views golf course is nearby. La Bella Vista is the perfect location to make once-in-a-lifetime memories.
~Please note:~ La Bella Vista is located immediately off of Highway 1 in Little River, while this is a slow stretch of single-lane highway, guests that are light sleepers or sensitive to noise may be disrupted by the road noise. Primary queen w/full bath, queen room downstairs w/full bath. Queen sleeper pullout in the living room.

Although La Bella Vista is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 2.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views are amazing, and the house is extremely comfortable and spacious. Everything is exactly as pictured -- and the place was spotless! I went up with my dogs for a solo zen trip, but the house would be perfect for a large group as there is plenty of seating, tabletop space, etc. Kitchen is huge and incredibly well-stocked. I didn't find road noise to be a problem, but it was February and traffic was light. The garden is beautiful -- the little paths could use a wee bit of work but that's a minor quibble. Overall, a wonderful stay and I'll definitely be back!
