Its angular box design, beamed ceilings, and redwood interior and exterior are reminiscent of the Sea Ranch architectural style. A veritable sixty foot wraparound floor-to-ceiling wall of glass, spanning the living and sun rooms, immerses you in the panoramic sweep of the rugged Albion Headlands whitewater coastline, Whitesboro Cove, and the Pacific Ocean. Sit inside or outside on the wind-sheltered deck or in the hot tub at eye level with soaring osprey, pelicans, hawks, and gulls and enjoy the nonstop procession of ocean swells crashing into the rocks below. The pelicans and osprey hover all day long above the cove, crashdiving into the water for the local sushi. During their seasonal migrations, you'll experience the parade of spouts, fins and flukes of Pacific gray whales. The Master bedroom loft (king bed & half bath) and its oversized North facing window offer a picture perfect view of the crashing waves without even having to lift your head from the pillow and a private cozy deck to enjoy the sun or your own private view of the stars. The 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on the first floor (King bed and 2 twin-XL's) are located down the hall from the galley kitchen. The downstairs Master bedroom suite features its own recently remodeled bathroom with an oversized tiled shower and bench combo with bar-holds for safety. A formal dining room comfortably seats six to eight and the Franklin fireplace compliments any meal. While dining, enjoy the pre-recorded keyboard selections on the Yamaha Electric Clavinova or the musicians amongst you can make your own music on the Clavinova and Electric Vibraphone. Stretch out in the paired Scandinavian leather recliners in the privacy of the all-cedar-and-glass Lindal sunroom and listen to your favorite music while meditating upon the ever-changing panoramic ocean, coastal, and bay vistas. No matter the weather outside, it’s always comfy inside because of the house’s central heating. With a cozy fire burning in the wood stove, enjoy the spectacular ocean sunsets and the grazing and winged wildlife while ensconced upon the living room’s comfy leather sofas. Both the living room and upstairs master bedroom feature a Bose audio and 55-inch HDTV entertainment center fed by Roku set-top box with complimentary Youtube TV(55 TV channels). DVD player. iPod docking cable to stereo. Like an oceanfront oasis, your privacy is assured – located at the end of a cul-de-sac; TIDEPOOL is part of a private, GATED road just two minutes south of the Ledford House Restaurant and Albion River Restaurant, two great dining experiences on the coast. Nearby, the quaint town of Albion offers everything you need for your much-needed retreat, and the Albion Flats Cafe, just 3 minutes North, cooks up the best budget-priced breakfasts on the North Coast while offering a surrealistic view from below the last remaining wooden trestle bridge on CA Highway One. Although there is NO BEACH ACCESS from our cliff top property, you can enjoy stopping off at Van Damme Beach in Little River or Big River Beach in Mendocino during your ten minute drive into Mendocino. 35+ Mbps broadband Internet connection and WiFi is available anywhere in the house so bring your tablets, laptops, and Roku devices to stream your favorite video entertainment. Roku's provided if you want to login to your streaming services.

The owner/host is very friendly and attentive, probably one of the best hosts we've had. The house is a little older, so it's kind of dark closed off in the bedrooms. But there's more space near the front in the sunroom and the loft area, which might have been a later remodel. We loved the hot tub when the wind wasn't super strong. Great privacy, and pretty convenient to Mendocino area. ##### Benjamin Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MELINDA R.

People hike all up and down the Mendocino coast to take photos of the coastline. Here, we could just watch it all day long. Accommodations might be a little dated but the scenery makes up for that and more. Best of all, was enjoying the last of the daylight in the hot tub every day as the sun went down and the sky changed through every color of the rainbow. ##### Michael C.

The view is truly incredible and we marveled at it multiple times a day every day we were there. There is also a ton of wildlife (deer, foxes, osprey, etc) around the property which was fun for our toddler (and us). The listing is very accurate. Don’t let any reservations about the slightly dated look sway you - the house is very comfortable and clean. Plus, you’ll be taking in the views the whole time anyway.

It was an easy drive up to Fort Bragg and down to Point Arena to visit a few beaches with the kiddos. The hot tub was a huge hit and we were in it at least twice a day.

Every single time I walked into the living room I said "wow." The stunning views of the ocean, sunsets and even the local deer that would come and feed in the meadow between the house and lawn made it an unforgettable experience. In a private, gated neighborhood, the house is very clean, has everything you need to cook and even has a wood burning fireplace that adds another level of charm. Don't forget to hot tub when the sun sets! Absolutely magical. We would come back again! ##### Pete G. Stayed 5 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leo B.

Judging only by the view on this place we wouldn't doubt for a second to live here. The most beautiful sunset and sunrises ever. In just 3 days we enjoyed whales, foxes, deer, and more right from the back porch. The house was designed with all this in mind and has two living rooms with floor to ceiling windows to enjoy nature from there. The drive in is a dream, through lush forest with tons of ancient, humongous trees. Just north of this property is Mendocino, a little town to die for, with fantastic cuisine, art, and gorgeous views. In the house, the beds were comfortable, and everything was clean. Any shortcomings on the house itself, will be overridden by the fantastic views! Definitively a must see. ##### Leo B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gretchen U F.
