Perched on the edge of the famous Mendocino Headlands, this lovely family home offers the seclusion of a seaside retreat with the nearby convenience of Mendocino’s restaurants and shops.

With a bay on either side of the house, it offers a 270 degree ocean panorama that is known by many locals as the best view on the Mendocino coast. Eat breakfast with our local seal, watch a parade of whales swim by, get eye-to-eye with a flock of pelicans skimming across the headlands—you may even be lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins!

Located in the village of Mendocino, the house is less than a ten minute walk to the heart of town, making it easy to grab groceries, grab a drink in our local pub, or enjoy a gourmet meal without getting in the car. It's a perfect location for enjoying the Mendocino Music Festival concerts--just walk home when it's over!

The house itself is oriented toward the ocean. Every room has a view of the surrounding bays, and the dramatic living room is wrapped in 12' windows so you can whale-watch from the comfort of the sofa in front of the gas fireplace!

The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the cooking and serving equipment you would need to entertain guests as you show off your spectacular view. Located off a private driveway, you will be instantly whisked away to your own secluded paradise. We also use this as our family home, so you will find many comforts you don’t normally get in a vacation rental.

Most of the home is wheelchair/walker friendly, with a ramp to the front door.

Many of our renters do not come through VRBO, so we don't have many reviews on this platform. But here are some reviews from recent renters:

"We spent a wonderful month in the perfect setting of Mendocino. The house is located on the most amazing setting. We were surrounded by ocean and the incredible headlands. The owners were responsive and made sure our stay exceeded expectations. This home is unforgettable as is Mendocino. We plan to make this home an annual event." Elaine and Scotty Brink, Summer 2020

"Private and one of the most relaxing properties we have ever stayed at. It feels as you’re on a ship – that’s how close you feel to the ocean. Home is spacious, I loved the design as it makes you feel you are a bit back in time. Home was well-equipped with everything we needed. Loved daily walks and proximity to town. Evening wine happy hours on the patio or by the fire place, watching sunsets are unforgettable. Most importantly – the home was spotless clean and so organized – that was comforting and hosts take very good care for their home. We stayed a month and hope to return in the coming years with family. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly – it felt almost like we’ve been friends forever. Thank you for the memories." Mark & Gerda, Fall 2020

"Our family spent a month in this home on a unique bluff with spectacular views. This was our first time visiting the Mendocino area. We highly recommend visiting this area! The convenience of being close to the town with grocery shopping and great restaurants (take out option too) was a great plus. The Mendocino headlands are a walking distance from the home. When not out exploring we enjoyed our time in this well stocked very cozy home! The view from the living room windows is amazing. We watched the ocean waves, birds flying by and took great sunset pictures! We highly recommend this home." Susan and Tony Cameron, Winter 2020

"My wife and I stayed for three months at this wonderful property in early 2021. The property sits on its own point of land, only 1/2 mile from downtown Mendocino, but you feel like you are isolated with your own exclusive access to the beautiful coast and ocean. The home has amazing views from the living room, kitchen, and the master suite upstairs. Literally, you feel as if you can touch the ocean from the house. We explored all over Mendocino and we always mentioned how this house has the best views and location as we compared to other homes. The owners are amazing and always available to help with any questions. The house is immaculate and so much fun; it has a wonderful family feel and you feel like you are "home". I strongly recommend the property, the home, and the owners to anyone looking for a very special trip to Mendocino." Kevin Boie, Spring 2021

"Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home in Mendocino. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The house is spectacular. We love the artwork and found new things every day. The views were phenomenal, and the weather was perfect. Sleeping with the windows open at night and hearing the waves and birds was healing and therapeutic. We would love to come back." Rick McGinnis and Karen Glabas, Summer 2021

"Right there for the ebbs and flows of each tide. We felt like we were on the bow of a ship...with the sea at our feet. At the end of a month we had been transformed by it. So private, so close to the village and the headlands. A piece of heaven." Beata Inman and Family, Fall 2021

"We’ve so enjoyed our stay here, as have all of our guests. The house has been so comfortable, the kitchen was great for all the cooking and baking we did. And the location couldn’t be better; wonderful views, easy access to the Village and Ft. Bragg, and best of all, what a great way to beat the heat in Sacramento! We’ve loved every minute we’ve spent here and appreciate your sharing it with us so generously." Martha and Jim Week, Summer 2022

"We are very sad to leave Paradise. You have made this home a perfect spot to spend a month. The bed is quite comfortable, the chairs and couches are relaxing. We had all we needed to cook wonderful meals (steak on the grill). Watching the sunset from our chairs outside will be something we will never forget. Of course, the views are the most beautiful we have ever seen from a home! We love Mendocino. The market is charming. Our favorite restaurant, Café Mendocino, never failed to be perfect. We joined a gym in Fort Bragg and the staff there were warm and engaging. We hope to return if we ever have time like this again." Linda and Ron, Summer 2023

"The location cannot be beat and the house is beautiful. Libbie was quick to respond and easy to work with. Love to go back." Lynn and Shauna, Winter 2024
