This house is beautiful with lots of room. The ocean views in the evening are great. It is about a 15 minute drive to Fort Bragg if you want more options for restaurants. The kitchen was not very well stocked with spices. We went without salt for a couple days. If I am back in the area in the future I would likely book again

Loved it! Definitely would stay here again if we returned to Mendocino. The house was nicely furnished, clean, and had plenty of room for our family. Wonderful view. Nice deck. The house location was good and the state parks and restaurants in town were within walking distance though part of the walk was on a road without sidewalks. Wifi worked well. Directions to the house and the lock operation were clear. Communication with the host was very good. I called the host with some last minute questions. My call was returned within 15 minutes and my questions were clearly answered. My family did not cook at the house so cannot comment on how well the kitchen was stocked.

It was a pleasurable experience. The house was everything we needed and located in a perfect place. My family was in town for 50 k ultra race and it was convenient to everything we wanted to see. The house was comfortable, roomy and had a great view of the sunsets every night. It felt very private and safe. Well stocked in the kitchen and bedrooms, but we couldn’t find the washer and dryer. We didn’t need it but the check out instructions mentioned it. We would certainly rent again if back in Mendocino
