Ocean Views Mendocino Beach House Path directly to the Beach!

This 1880's home is large and comfortable. Although home is rustic and a bit funky, (Over 145 years old!) beds are all new and very comfortable, and it the ONLY home in Mendocino with an extra large yard and a path directly to the beach!

Great for a couples or a family. Everything is within walking distance, including coffee, restaurants, ice cream, two beaches, whale watching, live theater, art studio, shops and site seeing.

For that true needed relaxation the Mendocino beach house is the place. Just watch the waves from your deck as you drink some local wine, have a picnic lunch, or take a walk down the special beach path and explore the caves and look for shells and sea glass. Great for 2 weeks or more!

Also great place to get some work done. Wireless internet throughout. Printer, paper, desk, larger screen and hookups all available.

By the way Cinderella really did live here!

Mendocino Magic

We had a wonderful time in this charming house with a huge yard full of art and toys and a view and path to the beach. Our grandchildren's favorite spot is a large bush with a secret room inside with table and chairs and pots for making magic potion.

Wonderful

My sisters and I stayed here for 4 nights celebrating 2 birthdays. The house was perfect- so comfortable and the setting is glorious- the beach is a short walk from the property and is so beautiful. We also enjoyed walking along the bluff and exploring the town. We will be back for sure!!!

Pleasant house

My husband, daughter, son-in- law and I enjoyed this house. It was the only VRBO I found in Mendocino that had king-sized beds in 2 of the bedrooms, so although it has a 3rd bedroom which we didn't need I rented it. The kitchen was well equiped although we were not cooking. They did not skimp on the matresses, pillows and bedding. The back yard is interesting. We did have difficulty getting into the lock boxes - host needs to explain them better - and the lock to the door was very difficult which we pointed out to the owner who came by. The path to the beach is a bit of a hazzard, but there is a good path behind the church 2 doors down. We had a wonderful meal at the Italian restaurant - I forget the name - that is just 3 blocks away, but if you are interested be sure to make a reservation. Also enjoyed The Wharf in Fort Bragg, and I also suggest reservations there. We were blessed with sunshine and no rain, but it is windy and thus can be cold in unprotected areas.

A great find

This place stands out as a truly exceptional find, both the house and the large back yard have a lot of character and charm. Every corner seems to hold a surprise, with an eclectic array of artwork adorning the walls and outdoor spaces. It’s also great that the beach is just a 5-minute walk down your own private path. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and am already planning my return visit. For those seeking a vacation rental with character, tranquility, and easy beach access, I highly recommend this.

Perfect location and great vibes

We enjoyed a multi-day working vacation in this delightful, well-situated home. The historic home is well cared for and clean. Its location above a beach (within walking distance) and in Mendocino village can't be beat. We loved the beach, the headlands, and exploring the village plus other nearby attractions. Don't miss Santosha Yoga/Massage, either! Highly recommended.

Old time Mendocino

I felt at home the minute I walked in. This is one of the early Mendocino houses and you feel it. It has character and plenty of comfortable places to sit and read or gather - inside and outside. I love the path to the beach which I walked early in the morning and at sunset. I hope I can come back one day for a longer period.

Our family stayed here for two nights over a weekend and really appreciated the house and its location. It was clean, beds were comfortable, and we all had fun exploring the yard and its neat surprises, the beach, local trails, and access to yummy food in town.

Relaxing vacation!

We enjoyed a very relaxing vacation at this charming house by the beach. The house was comfortable, with all the amenities one could ask for to ensure a pleasant stay. The backyard is beautiful and offers a serene spot to enjoy morning coffee. The beach is only a 10 minute walk, with a trail with stairs at the top. The bottom of the trail could use some trimming of the bushes, as they were very overgrown. The house is close to shops and restaurants. Overall, it is a perfect blend of comfort and convenience.

Quaint Cinderella Cottage

Loved this property, it is not the fanciest or biggest house but it is very quaint and comfortable. Kitchen was probably the best stocked kitchen with every appliance you could ever need. Love the path to the beach and would definitely stay here again. If I had one complaint it would be the upstairs bedroom to the right would benefit from a memory foam topper as bed is very very firm but all in all a great house.

My only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer. The house was quaint and so cute. My granddaughter and I loved the path to the ocean and all of the creative yard art. Location was perfect. We walked all over Mendocino and listened to the music festival in the evenings. Thank you for the wine! It was a memorable trip!
