About this property
Private retreat on Mendocino oceanfront property near Point Arena and Elk.
Private family retreat on ten acres of remote oceanfront ranchland, with locked gate and private access to stunning scenic beach. Two-bedroom family home newly refurbished inside with new flooring, appliances, gas-fueled fireplace, TV, and high speed WiFi. Perfect retreat for small family groups, writers, work or study from home. Pretty garden opens onto grasslands, ending at rugged switchback trail leading to wide, wild, sandy beach. Beach privately owned to median high tide line.
The house is convenient to Highway 1, and a terrific, full-service grocery store is only 3 miles away. Access to the beach requires hiking ability, and the abundance of wildlife (including puma and coyote) makes it unsafe for pets.
It is our vacation home and a much-loved retreat for the extended family.
We are new to adding VRBO as a listing service, but we have a long history as a vacation rental. Quotes from some of our past guests:
"This was our second time staying here - and if we get the chance, we'll visit again! If you're looking for solitude along the Mendocino coast, this place is perfect."
"We had a wonderful stay at this ocean front property. The views were stunning, the garden was beautiful, and having private access to the beach was amazing. It was so peaceful ..."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and well stocked, we loved the quiet location, the sunsets were beautiful, and we took long walks on the beach. We definitely would come back!!"
"This was my second stay at this beautiful home, and it was once again completely magical. We will be back!"
