Wow! We can’t wait to come back! This place is as good as it gets! They’ve thought of everything. Every detail is thoughtfully designed for optimal enjoyment. It was a perfect vacation for our family. My partner caught 5 fish off the dock! My son had the time of his life! Highly recommend. Amazing location, house, amenities and host!

Craftsman Cabin in Redwood Retreat Setting

JennyRating, 5 stars6 days ago

We loved our stay here! It’s nestled in the woods, so it is very private, but you’re only a 7 minute drive from Mendocino. The hosts were responsive and friendly, but gave us our space. They were very thoughtful about leaving things for our kids to do. The cabin is adorable and has almost everything you need. The WiFi was not working, but we enjoyed the atmosphere and didn’t come for the internet. The hot water runs out quickly, so if you have more than 2 people, definitely plan to stagger showers (morning and night). The hiking trail was amazing.

Home was so private and serene. Being in the redwood trees was really magical. Very comfortable home with all the amenities you would need. Also close to the beach and to the small town. Had a wonderful stay and really looking forward to coming back soon.

❤️Pebble Palace! OCEANFRONT! HOT TUB! WOW VIEWS!❤️

JintaiRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The house exceeded our expectations, looking even more stunning than the pictures. It was fully equipped with everything we needed. The highlight of our stay was enjoying the jacuzzi while spotting friendly deers nearby, which added a magical touch to our experience. The ocean view was breathtaking, with the distant lighthouse view being a delightful bonus. We highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a serene and memorable getaway.

Secluded Oceanfront Beach Cottage and Private Cove

SrutiRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had a fantastic experience. The host was very proactive and gave clear instructions. We arrived late on a cold night, and the host was proactive in having the wood fire lit for us to have a warm and cozy place. They had left a bottle of wine, sparkling water, and eggs. These little gestures are not what we received in other places we have stayed. The place was amazing with a 180-degree view of the ocean. Highly recommend.

Modern Cozy Coastal Cottage Short Walk to Beach

RandyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a great two-night stay, and love the area for beach combing, hiking and photography. The small community the bungalow is situated within is adorned with Redwoods and is very peaceful. We stayed in March and enjoyed the radiant heat the wood burning stove provided. Start it early enough in the evening and the entire house will be warm before you know it. We'd absolutely book again.

Garden Sanctuary near Fort Bragg

PhoebeRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Reviews speak for themselves - John’s place is stunning, private, with an immaculate garden. John is friendly and still gave us a ton of privacy, we loved how kind he was to greet us when we arrived and on our way out. The attention to detail is off the charts, all breakfast items were freshly stocked and brand new. Our group loved being able to read about the history of the place and how each item and painting was curated for the space. The reading nook was also phenomenal. It was a perfect place for us to stay after having fun in Fort Bragg. Overall recommend to all and we also hope to be back! Thank you John!

A beautiful place for retreat and relaxation for the whole family, and your pet! Samantha is the ideal host - easy to communicate with and quick to reply. She gave us a heads up on the lack of cellular reception, though wifi is pretty stable. This was our first airbnb experience and had some questions to which she quickly responded to. Check-in and check-out instructions were very clear. Definitely recommend this place!

Lighthouse Ranch - Expansive Ocean & Pasture Views

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 62 reviews1 month ago

We love this place. We've been visiting every year for the past several and find it just what we need for a chill Mendocino Coast winter vacation: a secluded house looking out over the countryside with the ocean in the distance; hawks riding thermals just a few feet away outside the huge living room windows; a wood fireplace. The house is set up like someone lives there, someone with really nice taste--kitchen with food processor, slow cooker, baking stuff and a waffle iron; lots of books about local people and history; decorations everywhere that shout Mendocino Coast. But it doesn't feel like you're intruding on someone else's space. Tough to balance those but this place does it. And most importantly hosts Tammy and David are super. Instantly responsive and utterly thoughtful. We're already planning our next trip back.

New 5BR ocean view villa in Mendocino-Fort Bragg

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviews1 week ago

We are in love with this neighborhood, the kids loved having their own upstairs space, the neighbors are so welcoming and knowledgeable, the yard was perfect for our dogs, the scenery with ocean views and wildlife frolicking about it unreal, and we absolutely love Ft Bragg including the botanical gardens and bakery within a 15 minute walk or 2 minute drive. We hope to be back another time!

Stunning 2BR Oceanfront | Fireplace | Deck

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 146 reviews1 month ago

Secluded and private. The most incredible view of the Pacific Ocean from the shoreline to the horizon. House is old but the layout is smart, and the interior was light and airy - no musty smells at all. Not much in amenities or local attractions, but that was expected. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a getaway from everyone and everything. Also, found a great breakfast/lunch restaurant called Elk House, which is only two miles away.

Modern Farmhouse, Lakefront Oasis

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews7 months ago

We couldn’t have asked for a better lake house to spend our holiday weekend. From the moment we walked in we felt right at home. The house is not only beautifully furnished and decorated but Lisa has thought of every detail to ensure that guests are covered in any scenario. From life jackets and beach towels to make-up remover rounds and first aid kits. We truly did not need to worry about anything, which really allowed us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation and relax outside by the water. Having the dock/water right in our backyard was so amazing and our kids could not get enough. Trust me, you will never hear “I’m bored”. We simply enjoyed sitting back on the patio while watching them have fun. We highly recommend this home if you’re looking for a relaxing down time all while watching your kids have the best time. I can’t forget to mention all of the thorough and helpful communication and information before and during our trip. This was an extra special touch to an already great stay!

Gorgeous Ocean Views - Wild Iris Beach House

HilaryRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The Wild Iris Beach House was simply amazing! The views are breathtaking. The house was beautiful with huge windows to see the ocean views. The porch is large with seats to enjoy morning coffee and evening wine. The hot tub was warm and ready for us to use! Jon and Monique were great hosts. They had a sweet note and a bottle of wine at the house to greet us. The kitchen is well stocked. This was a great place to relax and make sweet family memories. We will 100% be returning to this beach house!

CodiRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Absolutely Magical! Their home is exactly as posted. One thing I should note (though it does seem like they are working on a fix for it) the three homes have one bbq that they share. They were absolutely amazing and accommodating, I’m not saying this to take away from our experience. I’m just saying this as a heads up if you are someone who plans to live by the grill. Beautiful home, beautiful scenery, COMFORTABLE beds and linens, the list could go on. Thank you for sharing your home!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful house near Clear Lake! The views were breathtaking, and the home was cozy, clean, and perfect for our family with two young kids. The large windows and deck made for a peaceful and relaxing experience, and we loved watching the sunset over the mountains. The location was great for exploring nature, and the space felt like a perfect retreat. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a scenic getaway! We can’t wait to come back!

Mendocino Coast Home with Sauna & Fireplace

PaulaRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Marina’s place is very nice, bright and airy, clean and well-maintained. It’s great for two couples as the bedrooms are on opposite ends of the house. We enjoyed the deck and fire pit, the lovely gardens and got a kick out of the friendly flock of hens and geese across the way. Thanks again to Marina for the gift of their eggs. It was the perfect country setting after our wonderful visit to the Mendocino Botanical Gardens. We would definitely stay here again.
