About this property

Moon Star Retreat Ocean Front 2 Hot Tubs | Gualala

Welcome to your coastal haven — Moon Star Retreat includes a main house and detached cottage on 10 beautiful acres, to create one unforgettable retreat along the rugged Pacific. Perfect for families, couples traveling together, or multi-generational groups, these side-by-side homes, each with their own hot tub, blend comfort, privacy, and classic Mendocino Coast serenity, all just moments from bluff trails and the area’s iconic natural beauty, while sitting directly on the bluff of the Pacific Ocean.

Inside, both spaces offer their own charm while sharing a cohesive sense of warmth and simplicity. The main house welcomes you with an open-concept living space filled with natural light, high ceilings, and cozy seating ideal for gathering after a day of exploring. Complete with quality speakers with convenient connections to any device that has a 3.5mm headphone output or dual RCA output, large TV, and spacious dining area make it easy to relax, play games, or enjoy long meals together. The full kitchen is well equipped for group cooking, from quick breakfasts to coastal-inspired dinners.

The adjacent cottage offers a quieter, more intimate space, perfect for guests who prefer a little extra privacy. Its inviting living room, thoughtfully appointed kitchenette, and comfortable bedroom provides a peaceful retreat within steps of the main house. Together, the two allow your group to stay close while still having room to spread out.

Sleeping Arrangements (Both Homes Combined):
Main House:
• Bedroom 1: King Bed
• Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
• Bedroom 3: Queen Bed

Guest Cottage:
• Bedroom 1: Queen Bed

Outside, you’ll have ample room for everyone to enjoy the coastal climate. The shared outdoor spaces include wide decks with seating, a private hot tub at the main home, and areas perfect for morning coffee, stargazing, or unwinding with a glass of wine after a long day on the trails. Towering cypress and coastal scrub create a peaceful backdrop, while ocean breezes move gently through the property. Listen to the sea lions while you lie in bed or even watch them from the deck!

Whether you’re exploring miles of bluff and forest trails, spending a relaxing afternoon at one of the nearby beaches, or heading into Gualala, Point Arena or Mendocino for dining and local shops, this combined retreat serves as an ideal base for your Northern California escape. With room for everyone and the comfort of two fully equipped homes, you can savor togetherness without sacrificing personal space; an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and experience the Mendocino Coast at its most peaceful.

We had the most incredible stay at this property-it truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless, beautiful, and thoughtfully prepared for the perfect girls' getaway.The home itself is absolutely stunning-immaculately designed, spacious, and even more gorgeous in person. Every detail felt elevated and intentional, creating such a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. And the jacuzzis... next level. They were the perfect touch for unwinding, laughing, and soaking in the entire experience together.What made our stay even more seamless was how amazing the property manager was—so communicative, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful. Everything was ready for us, which allowed us to fully relax and just enjoy every moment of the weekend.We made the best memories here and are already talking about coming back. We did see that the property is currently for sale, and we're truly hoping it remains available on VRBO because it's too special not to share with future guests.This place is a gem-highly, highly recommend.
