About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The ocean meets the meadow at the forest's edge. Private beach. Soak under stars

A fully equipped, recently built (2003) beach home with two comfy bedrooms with yummy queen beds, a great room, a private deck outside the kitchen, and a cozy, romantic rooftop living room or a back yard jacuzzi with ocean views and starry, starry nights. Our beach house and decks are protected from the strong winds that buffet the bluffside. Take a walk down the nature path or the road past Pomo Lake to the private, gated beach for five miles of sandy coast, dramatic rocks, and lively tidepools to explore. Or just cross the road and enjoy the thick Mendocino forest. Our home is two fully independent duplexes. Sarah and I have the smaller one bedroom south side, but we are rarely in residence. If by chance we are there during your visit, we are especially quiet and considerate.

Beautiful Place, Beautiful Weather, 10/10.
My wife and I took my midwestern parents up to this rental for a couple of days and, man, did it really impress us! We loved how clean and cozy the place was and enjoyed our downtime relaxing in the living room by the fire and up on the rooftop lounging area, enjoying the heaters and the view. The really close proximity to Irish Beach made this all-the-better - the semi-private beach was windy while we were out there, but it was GORGEOUS and my entire family had a great time watching the waves crash into each the cliffs and each other. We REALLY enjoyed our stay and will definitely be a repeat customer the next time we’re wanting to stay in the area.

Lovely relaxing getaway
The light in this property is beautiful as it shines in in mornings! Very relaxing way to wake up! Nook is great spot to curl up with a book. Hot tub is also a plus. Wonderful location to unplug and relax with 2 people ot 2 couples and dogs. Agree cooking and fridge space limited so ne prepared for that and 'green egg bbq' with hickory wood chips (very easy to us) makes wonder meats and veggies
