Cozy hideaway on the edge of the bluff overlooking the ocean
A romantic guest suite with a private outdoor space for dining ,sunning or reading your favorite book while listening to the waves crashing below. The most spectacular feature of our studio is the view from every location. One feels like they are totally emersed in the beauty of the sea with total privacy The studio is equipped with a kitchenette. Mini fridge, and microwave. Coffeemaker and kettle . This suite is on the ocean bluff and not appropriate for children or pets.
This was a return visit after many years and everything was as beautiful, restful and amazing as we recalled. Barry and Karen are both wonderful hosts- friendly and responsive as well as very respectful of their guests privacy. We spent eight nights and couldnât get enough of the incredible views. In fact, other than going for strolls in nearby Russian Gulch State Park and to Fort Bragg for groceries/take out deli lunches and dinners we didnât venture far from the property. The hideaway is beautifully decorated, spacious, and clean and neat and the kitchen (hidden behind folding doors ) offers everything we needed to prepare/serve our simple meals. It even has the same Port Meirion dishes we have at home. We have already booked it for a return visit next year and can hardly wait. Thank you Barry and Karen
We love to travel off the beaten path and this place is magical! Cozy, rugged, quiet, except for the ocean beating on the rocks, wonderful walking trails and good eats in both nearby towns! we both read a whole novel for the first time in a while - it's that simple and restful. Eagerly plan to return...hosts were great!
Cozy, peaceful, private. The view is simply breathtaking. Being this close to the water was so healing and restorative for me. The hospitality was amazing, too. Every thoughtful detail made me feel welcome and right at home. I felt as if I were staying at the home of a close friend, not a vacation rental. I hope to return soon.
Quiet, secluded, beautiful spot right on the bluffsâ edge overlooking the Pacific. Convenient location close to Mendocino and numerous state parks, hikes,etc.The unit was clean, comfortable with lots of useful amenities. The hosts were very nice and left a note with info on how to easily reach them if we needed anything.This was our second stay here and well worth it.
Do not hesitate to book this property. The views are out of this world. In addition the extra touches they provided with this property are top notch including milk, a bottle of wine, water and a couple of local beers, the yummy cookies they baked for us, the coffee and filters and also loved they had extra pillows. We appreciated the toaster oven which allowed us to make breakfast. We could not have asked for anything more.
Donât think twice and seize this opportunity to stay in this little cozy spot by the sea. Incredible views. A peaceful and private retreat. Wonderful location. Amazing views. we canât wait to come back.
This place was quite amazing. Donât think you can get any closer to the ocean. We were greeted with treats and all the basic amenities. It was even better in person. Very clean and comfortable. We saw lots of birds and the space was very private and easy to find. Highly recommended.
Better than advertised and thatâs tough to imagine because the online pictures were already amazing!
This is the most beautiful short term rental weâve ever had the pleasure of staying in. We felt immensely grateful to get the opportunity.The space is cozy and very private. We loved it.
I canât describe in words the amazing view from this studio. We were mesmerized! The bed was comfortable, there was an abundant supply of towels, pillows, blankets and TP. Even the view from the indoor shower is amazing. The lovely extra touches: a bottle of wine, cookies, box of crackers and meat & cheese were the cherry on top. We will be back, thank you Karen & Barry!
Such a beautiful home. The location is perfect, a short drive to either Mendocino or Fort Bragg. Everything has been thought of for a relaxing get away. A nice card with a bottle of wine and home baked cookies awaited our arrival. Beautifully clean, well appointed, loved the hand made quilts. Hard to put the view into words, what an experience. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
This was the prettiest place weâve ever stayed. The cottage was wonderfully decorated and very comfortable. The views from the patio and picture windows were unbelievable. Beautiful grounds and perfect location. Communication with our hosts was excellent. This place spoils me for any other rental I might ever visit.
When I tried to think of how to describe how we felt after staying here the first word that came to mind was, âgrateful.â Itâs rare to find places that offer true privacy and majestic, awe-inspiring natural beauty. This space offers both. My partner and I spent hours just watching the waves over the cliff outside because every hour gives you a new view. We made a point to appreciate the space we were in and notes that the view from the room was better than at most restaurants we visited. The patio was serene and peaceful. We had more than everything we needed, and the small touches (a handwritten note and fresh baked cookies) made us feel like we were home. Iâve never enjoyed a vacation rental more than I enjoyed this one. We loved it so much we are planning on returning. Donât miss an opportunity to stay here.
Waking up to that beautiful view every morning was absolutely dreamy and listening to the waves as we fell asleep each night was exactly what we were longing for! Hosts were very accommodating when I asked if they had a blender we could borrow to make baby food for my grandchild who was staying elsewhere in Mendocino. We will def return to stay at their comfortable and relaxing place.
We were so happy about this place when we stayed there the 1st time we decided to repeat. We're so glad that we did. It was a celebratory occasion for us and our hosts provided a very nice touch to the place that added greatly to our joyfulness.
The description is spot on! 'Cozy hideaway on the edge of the bluff overlooking the ocean' It was absolutely delightful. The view was spectacular. Quiet, private and peaceful. The hosts were so so nice and accommodating. We hope to return soon. Thank you Barry and Karen so much - This is one for the books as fondest of memories.
We are long term residents of Mendocino and enjoy traveling the world. We live on the property in the main house. The guest suite is totally private with your own entrance . The only only thing we share is the front gate and the driveway. There is 100% privacy inside your suite as well as outside . We enjoy having guests spend time in our little hideaway!
We not only have a secluded ocean front but we are nestled in-between Russian Gulch State park and Point Cabrillo park that are both less than a mile away and have miles and miles of hiking trails. Both can be reached by walking just outside our gate. There is also 1909 Lighthouse that has coves and bluffs to explore as well as a lighthouse museum.
We are located less than a mile from the town of Mendocino which has restaurants, museums, shops, theatre and the headlands trails for hiking Jackson State forest is close with 100 miles of hiking trails. Big river offers kayaking, paddleboarding, expansive sunny beaches for all to enjoy.
