Relaxing Privacy Overlooking the Stunning Mendocino Coast
Come and completely relax in this comfortably rustic three-bedroom home perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the scenic, storied Mendocino Coast. Located on a quiet, gated road ideally situated West of famed California Highway One, this cozy retreat is perfect for a family vacation, a weekend with friends, or a romantic getaway. A beautiful eight mile drive from the historic village of Mendocino, this is the perfect home base for wine tasting, beach combing, kayaking, hiking, biking or shopping. Simply relaxing is fine, too, and you will find the peaceful setting and sea air perfect for sipping a local wine on the expansive porch, soaking in the private hot tub, or reading that book you've been trying to find time for. Treat yourself to the many fine local restaurants, or stay in and create a gourmet meal of your own in the fully equipped kitchen. Each of the three bedrooms feature brand-new luxury pillow-top Queen-size bedsets. There are two bathrooms; one featuring a vintage claw-foot tub perfect for a warm bath, and the other a double shower. All linens are of course provided, as well as an assortment of games, jigsaw puzzles and books to enjoy. Relax or be inspired; it's up to you!

We (four people and a dog) stayed in this home for 3 nights and would absolutely stay again! There was plenty of room for everyone, the furniture and beds were very comfortable, kitchen well stocked with appliances, etc that you’d need, close proximity to exploring Mendocino & Fort Bragg and incredible views.
This location exceeded my expectations. The kitchen was well set up (three sizes of cast-iron skillets--heaven!), the view was perfect, and we had four folks on a writing retreat with plenty of space to meet all together or work separately. And stargazing in the hot tub at night with the waves crashing in the distance was just a delight. Great stay!
Cute house with everything we needed for our stay! Very nice and peaceful location in the gated community. The only thing need to mention is that tap water had some residues ( probably iron as it had orange shade) but we are glad that house had several gallons of purified water from the grocery store so we could use it for drinking and cooking.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful oceanfront home near Mendocino. The house was fantastic — warm, welcoming, and perfectly set up for a relaxing coastal getaway. You can’t beat the peaceful atmosphere and proximity to the ocean. It truly made our visit to Mendocino special.Markey was an incredible host — responsive, kind, and genuinely thoughtful throughout our stay. What stood out most was her generosity in returning a piece of jewelry my wife had accidentally left behind. It meant so much to us, and we are incredibly grateful for her honesty and care.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable Mendocino escape.Thank you again, Markey!

The house was a perfect fit for our family of 4 and dog. We were so comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the location was lovely. Thank you very much!
We had a lovely long stay here with some family and friends joining us for shorter spells. Everyone remarked on how comfortable and well equipped the house was, and we all fell in love with the views from the house and deck. The location is great, and you'll be relaxed in nothing flat!

Why they chose this property
My wife and I have long enjoyed the Mendocino Coast and visited frequently as weekend get-aways. We were fortunate to meet many locals and eventually locate a home for sale that we fell in love with.
What makes this property unique
Our favorite feature of this vacation home is how utterly relaxing it is. Even when we visit with all intentions to accomplish work away from work, the relaxation gene kicks in unexpectedly, and all tensions or stress from our work-a-day life melt away.
