Oct 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful location with lots of privacy The location is lovely, great views of the ocean, although best observed from the upper level viewing chairs inside. There is a huge wraparound deck, with one side facing the ocean, and the other facing the secluded forest. The hot tub location faces the forest, and was very private and quiet. My negative note is the sofa in the living room is quite old, to the point where some of the seams are coming undone. Overall, this was a very nice home with an excellent location, and would be great for a family gathering. ##### Kimberly A.

The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of space throughout the house to relax, and the house was very well stocked.

The downstairs part of the house was great for our group of teens as it left the main part of the house upstairs for the rest of us. It’s close to the town of Mendocino and Fort Bragg. The house has all the amenities we need and the kitchen is well stocked with plenty of supplies. We really appreciate that it is pet friendly and that our dog can travel with us. ##### M H.

Has everything we really needed! My wife says it needs a full-length mirror & a Keurig coffee pot would be nice! Only other suggestion is for the price it would be nice if the cobb webbs were cleaned over the dining room table & kitchen window. ##### Matt C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy B.

Jul 14, 2025 #### Clean, Spacious and Comfortable Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was comfortable, super clean inside, very spacious and the configuration was perfect for our family group. The location is convenient for our frequent trips into Mendocino and Fort Bragg. Deer and quail visited daily. Though the visibility of the ocean from the house is nice, the outside of the windows on ocean-facing side were dirty, causing a hazy obstructed view. The charcoal barbeque was pretty rusted out, and the hot tub is not on the ocean-facing side of the house. And beware of the carpeted runners placed on top of the carpet, they are a trip hazard! That said, the house was generally very nice, and I would happily recommend it to others. ##### Robert C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emil P. May 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, beautiful house! The location is gorgeous. It's a treat to watch the ocean and the sunset from the top level of the house or from the porch. The house is clean and in good condition, with beautiful kitchen and good furnishings. The towel folding art was impressive. As minor suggestions for improvement, having the windows washed would improve the enjoyment of the view, and including a starter amount of shampoo and cooking oil would save a 30m drive to Safeway for people who didn't read the welcome emails closely enough or forgot to pack them. ##### Emil P.
