Share an unforgettable getaway at this custom-built, modern Mendocino vacation rental. Aptly dubbed Whale Song, this remarkable home overlooks the ocean. It even has a private, oceanfront hot tub.

Perched on a lush hillside, this unique Northern California Coast lodge is close to area attractions. Just five miles away is Russian Gulch State Park for a scenic hike to a 36-foot high waterfall. The Devil's Punch Bowl, a large collapsed sea cave with churning water, is nearby too. Bike to Pount Cabrillo Lighthouse and Caspar Beach - it’s all close to home.

At the rental, you’ll have everything you need to relax as you wish. Whip up a delightful meal in the fully stocked kitchen then curl up by the fireplace. Or, stay up and watch TV while everyone else goes to bed.

In the master bedrooms, you’ll have a spacious king-size bed. In the second bedroom is a queen-sized bed, and in the third bedroom a twin. Every bedroom has an ocean view and access to a private deck!

After a day hiking among the breathtaking coastal vistas of Mendocino, make sure to rejuvenate in the hot tub. While that’s going on, toss your clothes in the private washer and dryer. It’s all about a carefree vacation.

With its magnificent ocean views, stained glass, and tasteful furnishings there is something for everyone at this beautiful Northern California Coast vacation rental.

The neighborhood, house and property are gorgeous! Not to mention the view of the ocean from the hot tub!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was very relaxing and peaceful listening to the waves crashing on the coastline. Sunset views are also incredible.Extremely romantic location for a getaway with your significant other!We are already thinking of a return trip.The garage is accessible, however you cannot park a car in there, which I would like to have done.I would definitely recommend!

Ocean Thanksgiving

This property had some plusses and minuses. Location lovely, beautiful ocean views. Close to Mendocino. The jacuzzi was well placed and had wonderful stargazing opportunities, but could have been cleaner. The steep driveway is a major issue as you are not supposed to park above on the road. The home really needs updating and window refurbishing. The biggest issues were the very uncomfortable bed upstairs causing poor sleep. Also the living room is very small. Good for 4 people but that’s about it. We lucked out with good weather so could be outside. However the deck needs refinishing & more than .2 plastic deck chairs.

Great view

Pros: The view was awesome. Very quiet neighborhood. Roomy. Enjoyed our stay. Cons: maybe get a Polyethylene cutting board for meat, sheet pan, a sliding screen for the room upstairs and downstairs. Fix the other sliding screen upstairs, not have so much soap or chemicals in hot tub. It looked like Dawn dish soap with all the bubbles , fix two of the jets. Take the mold off the shower curtain downstairs, a glass plate for inside the microwave, fix the living room 2 windows so you can see out of them. We killed 2 termites. 😵‍💫. And that over 400. Fee….for I don’t know what.

A bit of a disappointment.

The place looks larger in the pictures. We were disappointed in the size of the TV/common space where there is only space for four people, not six and the furniture was old. Luckily we spent time with family at another facility with more space. This was the biggest complaint. The dining table had only five chairs, one of which had a wobbly arm. The spa foamed up. The layout of the kitchen was good and it was well equipped. The second floor was very nice. The view was nice. Did not understand why parking in the cul-de-sac was prohibited.

More songs from the Whale

We have stayed at this property several times over the last 8 years and it is still a wonderful place to pull the plug and enjoy the peace and quiet as well as the view. I will say that the house doesn't have the same family warmth and love that it did years ago. 10 years of online renting and use is taking a toll and it shows. all the lights are now LED which are way way too bright at the standard 6500K light temp/color which is very very sad for the coast and a 'warm' property. look into LED lights that are rated at 2700-3000K otherwise it just looks like warehouse lighting inside. pictures are missing off the walls and other aspects of rental 'entropy' are becoming very evident. there is also trash that previous renters have let fall over the decking and are visible in the brush below....also sad. I'd still come back, but thought I would offer some constructive criticism and input for a place that I do love.

Great location, notable kitchen issues

The location, views, hot tub, and decor were incredible! There were too many scraped up teflon pans in the kitchen (likely because management provided a metal spatula), but luckily we found 2 that still worked. Can opener barely worked, and there were 20+ ants per day despite us keeping everything in the fridge and keeping the counters clean. The beds were also very firm. Biggest 3 changes I would encourage management to make are 1)vinegar cleaning spray available to guests to minimize ants 2)go through cookware and remove unusable/incompatible items 3) buy a mattress topper for at least one of the beds. Would recommend to anyone with scoliosis or who doesn't want to cook in the meantime. 1 more tip unrelated to the place! Make sure you drive a bit (10 mins) for gas, otherwise you'll pay way too much

Only negative to report is the house smelled a bit musty. The house is beautiful, and the proximity to Russian gulch State Park, and other view points/parks is great. 10 min north of Mendocino, 10mins south of fort bragg. Highly recommend!

Sweet house, beautiful spot!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is comfortable and well- equipped. The interior was spotless when we arrived. We were invited to check in early which was a nice bonus. Check in and check out were super easy. Another plus for us was the outdoor outlet where we could plug in our car (not a charger unit - just a plug - we travel with a charger). The management company didn't seem to know that it was there, so it was another nice surprise when we arrived. Eating out on the deck overlooking the ocean was wonderful. Great stay overall - we hope to return!

Private Retreat with Beautiful Ocean Views

This home is wonderfully situated between the towns of Mendocino and Fort Bragg. It is a short walk to Russian Gulch State Park and the beautiful Point Carrillo Lighthouse park. The home is perfect for younger, able-footed individuals… we traveled with three people in their 80’s, and found some issues. The staircase to the second floor bedrooms is very steep with narrow, thin steps, and the water can get VERY hot - with some valves that were difficult to figure out. That being said, the home was large, comfortable and affordable. The kitchen was very well stocked and the beds were comfortable. While not directly on the oceanfront, each bedroom and the dining area offered lovely, expansive views of the gorgeous Pacific Ocean.

Just ok

The property touts ocean view and hot tub, which are true. That’s about where the amenities end. This listing needs a lot of updates to charge what they charge. The hot tub had literal scum floating in it, hasn’t been cleaned in quite awhile by the looks of it. I couldn’t even get in there I was so grossed out. Interior of house is very dated with both bathrooms smelling of old urine and mildew. Very few towels. We booked 6 guests but there were only 4 towels. The couch smelled like old dog. Living room and dining table only accommodate 4. The stairs are crazy steep and narrow, not kid or elderly friendly. Bathroom would not accommodate a wheelchair user. Ants all over the place, although typical of Mendo county. The driveway is very steep, so we had to unload at the top of hill and carry our stuff down so we didn’t bottom out. I’ve rented several places in the area, this is my first with this vendor. Definitely going back to other vendors. Bummed, but lesson learned.

This place needs a lot of love

The house was infested with ants. Upstairs, downstairs, in the carpet, in our beds and the kitchen was a hot mess. It rained and the rain came in the house through the windows. Some of the windows were fogged over. We lost power and the flash lights were all dead. The toilet leaked on the floor

Least Relaxing Vacation Ever.

1. Upon arrival the access code was incorrect (it worked for garage access but this provided no access to the residence). 2. There was no information in any communication informing us of the lock box code (key access). 3. The web access was listed as WhaleSong with a similar password, unfortunately no ISP popped-up with that name so no access -I bring this up right away as we could have made that connection to make a phone call (via wifi calling) support but we had to get back in the car and drive back out to the main road before we had cell signal ( we use Tmobile and AT&T for what it's worth). 4. We did gain access to the house after receiving the key lockbox code. 5. Upon getting settled we wanted to access the hot tub however it was lock with a combination lock - again no code available on paper work in the house or communication so we had to make another phone call to get it. 6. After hot tub we wanted to unwind to watch tv and found that the cable box was missing so zero channels available - had to call again, were told that a box was installed that day but it literally wasn't. - no tv 7. While dealing with the tv we noted the sofa and recliner were stained and grimy leaving us to question if they were clean - we used towels on the sofa and chair which really didn't allow us to relax, we spent a lot of time sitting on the hard dinning room chairs. 8. The ants on the counter tops in the kitchen could have certainly been worse but we caught site of them soon enough to move ALL our food items into the refrigerator. 9. I bought two amazing steaks ($67.00) to bbq but unfortunately the bbq would only heat to 250 degrees. This is with all 4 burners activated and set on high. I own 2 grills and BBq regularly and found that one propane tank was half full and the other was completely full. I decided to switch tanks to see if there may have been a restriction at the tank valve causing the reduction in heat however no solution was found. After 25 minutes of letting the grill heat, 250f was the max temp . 10. Had to grill the steak in a skillet indoors with an exhaust fan that simply exhausts back into the house, not such a big deal but what really turned us off were the amount of bugs stuck to the light bulb and the underside of the vent. I don't believe any grease had ever been cleaned from under the stove exhaust judging by the amount of insects stuck to it. Will never, ever book another Vacasa Property .

Great getway and ocean views with whales

We had a great stay at Whale Sound - which included seeing at least 7 whales one day in September. This is a great property for a group with a very large kitchen. We had one request while we were there and the management went above and beyond to make it happen. We would definitely stay again in the future.
