About this property

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!!!

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.

Great getaway

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. The owner was very communicative and helpful. Five stars!

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.

Incredible

The house was comfortable and has lots of character. Such a great place for lounging and exploring. The yard offered intrigue and exploring. The private trail down to the beach was convenient. Communication with the host was the best I have experienced in this rental venue. Located right on the edge of town made access to shops, restaurants, coffee/cafe, galleries etc. easy.
