Great 2 night stay at the cottage. It is small and cozy, perfect for 1 or 2 people. The view from the deck is amazing and although you are right next to a larger home this does not detract from the deck and view. The cottage was clean and had everything I needed. My only comment would be as the lone female occupant I would have liked an additional lock on the front door.I would recommend.

Obsessed with this little cottage. Everything you need for a quaint romantic getaway, with such beautiful views! Highly recommend waking up at dawn to watch how the marine layer changes, just so beautiful. Home was comfortable and clean and we loved the little gas stove too. Easy to communicate w management and convenient access to both Mendocino and Fort Bragg. Would absolutely stay here again!

Fantastic cottage right by the ocean! This is my second time staying and it was just as lovely as the first time. It's about 1 mile from the lighthouse, which is great to go see, and a short drive from mendocino. There's tons of good food nearby, and the cottage has a stove and refrigerator if you'd like to cook. The views from every room are absolutely gorgeous, and it's great for stargazing. You will not regret your stay here!

Gorgeous Get-away
This little house was absolutely lovely! The views are amazing - you are literally right on the cliffside and have a view of the ocean from the living room and the bedroom. It's got a decent kitchen, and a great bathtub. It's also only 2 miles from Pt Cabrillo lighthouse, so you can easily walk there. Great stargazing, too. One of the best places I've stayed!

Lovely littke spot
Very clean, cozy and welcoming. The property manager was prompt responding quickly to my text message. There isn't ac, so it could use a fan or screen on the windows to get some air flow through. No real complaints though!
