I am a wedding planner and had a 3 day wedding in Mendocino. Stacey's home was the perfect landing spot for me and my team. The hot tub was an additional bonus after long work days on our feet! A great home away from home!
Everything was great. House had everything we needed and then some! Only recommendation would be an electronic lock with a code to get in. One key was problematic, and the bottom door handle was difficult to lock/unlock.
Lovely home with great living/dining space for a group. Wood burning stove was fantastic. The views are gorgeous - inside and out. And just a short drive to Mendocino, and not too much farther to Fort Bragg.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything was exactly as advertised and the views were stunning. It's very close to the town of Mendocino and Fort Bragg and there's even a small grocery/shop less than a mile away, in case you run out of wine, like we did. :)Also, the hot tub was hot and clean with those same wonderful romantic views. Hint, the stars come out at night like nothing you've ever seen before.Oh, and we saw that fox on a night hike!Book it and enjoy everything the area has to offer.
It is a great house with fabulous views. The weather was perfect! The house had everything we could want for old friends to get together. I think itâs the best rental experience Iâve had. The pics do not lie.
The Albion is peaceful and quiet with close proximity to Mendocino and all of the area's natural beauty. The property has three bedrooms with comfortable beds, and a well-equipped kitchen. We had a relaxing stay.
Had a wonderful time in a wonderful home. We had my brother and his wife visiting from Scotland. Enjoyed the rugged beauty of the area. We saw deer, foxes and birds every morning from the deck. The hot tub and BBQ were great after our adventures at the beaches, Van Damme Park and of course the Skunk Train. We would stay there again.
House had at least 5 leaks; 3 over one of the beds and 2 in the living room. Had to sleep on the floor in the living room and offered no compensation. Location is beautiful. Lots of deer near property and good view of the ocean. If youâre ok with camping then you can tolerate this property if not during the rainy season.
We booked this home to attend a Thanksgiving weekend nearby. The place was comfortable, very clean and in a quiet setting. The kitchen is well supplied. Thank you!
This rental was perfect for our family of 5 adults for exploring the Fort Bragg - Mendocino areas. The kitchen isnât huge but is well equipped. Everything was clean and in good working order. The beds were all comfy with nice linens. The hot tub with great star gazing was a nice treat after a long day of hiking. The sunsets are of course stunning. Best nearby activities were Mendocino Botanic Gardens, hikes in Jug Handle and Russian Gulch, wine tasting in Philo along 128.
My family stayed at this property for 4 nights. When we arrived there were ants everywhere. I contacted the host to see if there were traps, she apologized and said she'd get back to me. We bought our own ant traps in Mendocino the next day. What bothers me more than the ants is that she didn't check back in with us.
Check in and communication was easy. We got to the house and followed all the instructions that were correct and easy to access.
Unfortunately, as soon as we opened the door we were hit with a terrible smell of mold and horrible air freshener that I am guessing they put in thinking it would cover the smell. My guy said did you look at the reviews on this place? I had looked at many properties before renting this one so I thought maybe I missed something on this one. I got on my phone and scrolled back to 2022 and not one mention of a smell. Seriously it was so bad that my eyes started watering and throat felt like it was closing. The following morning we left for the day and turned the heat on and opened all the windows which helped. By check out we had cleared out most of the smell. Our inlaws came while we were out and texted they could smell through the open window before they even went in.
There is a nice hot tub but make sure to bring your bathing suits because there is no privacy screen and the tub is at the back of the house where everyone in the neighborhood can see you.
Location is great, the sunsets are great. We even had a herd of deer slumber through the field. There are tons of hummingbirds that were out feeding at dusk on the flowers by the deck. Was very peaceful and very quiet neighborhood.
If it weren't for the smell we would have given 5 stars. Beds very comfortable, kitchen well equipped, lots of towels and paper products.
This property description while not technically wrong but is misleading. It is a oceanfront property in the sense that you can see the ocean from home but at a distance, you can access the coast because there are a lot of other homes between this property and the ocean and all the open space you see in the picture is other peoples private property. Host also charged us 400 for a carpet stain that she reported a week after we left and just charged my card without engaging with us to assertain that it happened during our stay. Luckily we were able to get it back by reporting it to Vrbo. Property wasnât super clean - a lot of cob webs throughout the house and on furniture outside.On the positive side - kitchen was decently stocked with spices etc and house had a bunch of fun games.
I love the wild life with wandering deer, adorable foxes and other cute creatures. Itâs awesome that the family has lots of room to fly kites or throw some balls. There is lots of room to jog too. The gated community provides extra privacy.
