Little River coastal beauty

We loved our stay at the house! It had stunning views and was well equipped with amenities to get us started! We were bummed the fire place didn’t work as it was fairly chilly in the main part of the house in the morning and evening. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would love to go back!

Loved It!

We had a great stay celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. The property management went to the extra length of recognizing our special day with signage and a special treat at the bar. The house was beautiful, comfortable, great views, and near everything we wanted to do. We would definitely stay at this property again and can highly recommend.

Amazing property

We went here for my fathers 80th birthday celebration. It was perfect! The property was even more beautiful than the pictures and the house has a lovely cozy atmosphere. Adults, seniors and children all loved it and had plenty of room. The views were great too of course! Checkin was smooth and simple and the house was super clean. It was perfect in every way for us and we hope to return again someday .Thanks for all the personal touches and!

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.

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.

The house was wonderful. My only objection was the check in process. Not sure why we had to drive into Mendocino to get a paper telling us what the door code was. An email would have been better. Other than that it was a terrific weekend. Beautiful house and wonderfully appointed. We'll be back :)

Beautiful location, comfortable home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: 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!

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.

The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of space throughout the house to relax, and the house was very well stocked. It would have been nice if the door code could have been delivered electronically, but stopping into to pick up the welcome packet was easy enough. Regardless, we loved every moment of our stay. We would absolutely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great. An excellent location with a fantastic view. All went well with a few minor issues due to normal wear and tear. The property was clean, but needs some attention to appliances and fixtures in the house. Mendocino Vacation Rentals were great to work with and very accommodating. I would recommend this property to anyone staying within the Mendocino area.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was nice and clean. The kitchen had limited supplies as regular can opener, the electric one was difficult to operate. There was no naming dishes only cookie sheets and no crock pot either. The 2 couch beds downstairs mattresses were very uncomfortable. They need to invest in better mattresses for their guests.
