Great view in private quiet area. Really like having access to garage for our mountain bikes! 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.

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. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eva B.

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. ### 8/10 Good #### Kimberly A. 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. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 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.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views you can enjoy during meals from the dining room table, or while enjoying beverages on the deck, or even from the cozy chairs on the upper levels are amazing. Somehow even doing dishes is better with the view of the ocean out the kitchen window! The home is conveniently located to Mendocino town and hiking trails, and not much farther from Ft. Bragg and the Skunk train. The hot tub is very enjoyable but does not have an ocean view. However, given the windy days we experienced, I can understand why it is positioned where it is on the back of the home, more sheltered from the ocean winds.One thing that could be improved is the pull-out couches in the basement. Those are very uncomfortable and I cannot recommend them. It would also be nice if the maintenance issues with the chimney were resolved so that guests could enjoy a fire in the fireplace on chilly, windy nights. ##### Mindi P. ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth T.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just returned home from a wonderful week at Colby Reef. Location can't be beat. Views are spectacular from every window. Just a few minutes drive to Mendocino one way and beaches the other. Restaurants and grocery stores are easily accessible. As for the home -- so comfortable and spacious! Beds/family room couch, upstairs recliners all great. The house was clean from top to bottom. Just a note, there is a bit of a smoky fireplace smell especially downstairs in the large suite. But once you're there, you really don't notice.The kitchen has all that you'd need. We always bring our favorite oils/spices/knives and some non-stick pans but the kitchen is so well stocked you won't need to bring any of it.Overall, an amazing stay in an amazing home!!The view from the property is really something. From one side of the house, it's all ocean and the other side, the beautiful forest.This is by far one of the best rentals we've stayed in and I would highly recommend it to anyone! ##### Terri S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rita E.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was comfortable, view of ocean is wonderful. Easy to get in and out. No issues other than the weather (it rained all but 5 hours over 2+ days) but that had nothing to do with the property. ##### Robert H.
