This very private, romantic, ocean view and cliffside Mendocino cottage is a spacious split-level set as close to the ocean as possible so as to take full advantage of the dramatic setting. The soothing sounds of the ocean waves rolling in and crashing against the rocks below will make you feel like you are on your own private island.
This gem of a house has romantic, private, and truly million dollar expansive views of the ocean from every room. The view through the French doors is truly breathtaking. A wrought iron spiral staircase ascends to the upstairs oversized King bed. The fireplace also has an amazing view of the ocean. The night time sky reveals a starry sky unpolluted by city lights. The kitchen is fully functional with pots and pans, gas stove & oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. We also have an assortment of spices, but please feel free to bring whatever you need. We also have a washing machine and dryer for use.

Perfect coastal hideaway
My fiance and I couldn't have loved this house more than we did. Falling asleep to the sound of waves every night, waking up to seeing the gorgeous ocean right outside of our windows, the cozy hottub, awesome shower water pressure, yummy complementary bottle of Cava... I could go on and on. BOOK IT! :)

Perfect honeymoon
Easy to find with directions given. Great place for a couple to disconnect and enjoy each others company. Was planning on using the grill, but due to it sitting idle on the coast, it was too rusty and therefore did not feel like it was safe to cook on. I had to bring up a maintenence concern and the owner was very responsive. All in all, we would definitely come back. The view is incredible.

Stunning ocean view!
This place is perfect for a weekend getaway! The best thing about it is the stunning view of the ocean. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the waves, the sunset, and the stars at night. We also enjoyed the spacious loft. Our nights were warm and cozy up there!
This is a lovely cabin, but it needs maintenance and repairs. The deck is a little unstable so you need to be careful when stepping outside. The wooden door and window frames also need attention. The elements are pretty harsh out there!
We loved our stay and look forward to visiting again.
The owner left a bottle of cava for us in the fridge, such a nice treat! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The Ocean
Location was great. No neighbors quite street. A awesome view of the ocean. House needs a little TLC. The back doors wouldn’t lock. You could see the wood rot outside. We wished there was a TV downstairs. We got good at using the stairs. The shower is very hard to get out of. My husband was unable to take a shower. Step up to high. A heater in the bathroom would be nice floor was cold. Kitchen was good and a nice laundry room. The hot tub was really nice I had a bad fall in the house it made my muscle and bruises feel good. The champagne was a very nice gift. We would go back again we would be more prepared, a stool for the shower.

Location was amazing! Even though it rained most of the time I was there it was such a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the rain. And when I could get out on the deck I did. The view was incredible and the place had everything I needed.
