Salt spray, crashing waves, and a front-row seat to the Pacific -- welcome to the Mendocino Coast. Soak in the hot tub as the sun dips below the Pacific. A warm fire and ocean views anchor cozy evenings in. Room for 10 in this 4-bedroom home. Restaurants, river access, and Gualala Point Regional Park are a very short drive away. River kayaking, beach bonfires, and redwood hikes -- all from your doorstep.
The space
A breathtaking scene - of whales out on the horizon, waves crashing against the bluffs, and rocky cliffs both up and down the shore - awaits at this private, oceanfront estate. There's no place quite like this for experiencing the North Coast, in peace, privacy, and magnificent natural surroundings.
This blufftop home sits among coastal cypress on a private, gated, acre-plus piece of property. With decks, balconies, and banks of picture windows wrapping the house, the setting promises infinity views of the ocean from almost every vantage point. You'll feel worlds away, yet the conveniences of small-town Gualala are less than a mile from your door.
Step inside and be transported, with the great room showcasing the majesty of nature. Curl up by the first fireplace beneath beamed ceilings, recline with a favorite movie, and never lose sight of the view through floor-to-ceiling windows. Move into the chef's kitchen to find every culinary wish: top-of-the-line appliances (including double ovens, beverage refrigerators, and a built-in wok in the cooktop), granite countertops, an immense island, and a walk-in pantry. The night skies are incredible here, best enjoyed from the bubbly warmth of the hot tub.
Each bedroom is luxurious in its own right. There's a primary suite with a fireplace, a TV, and access to the deck, not to mention a private bathroom with a soaking tub, a shower, and yet another fireplace.
The guest suite offers deck access, a sitting area with a fireplace, and an en suite bath as well.
The third bedroom is a detached casita featuring its own kitchenette, a living room with a fireplace and TV, a bedroom, and - of course - that unmatched oceanfront view.

It's a great place w/ stunning views, very clean and well laid-out. We had a 5-person group and there was more than adequate space for everyone.
Highly recommended for a Mendocino vacation. Hosts were communicative and responsive. Will be happy to return.

Just sit back and breathe slow and take it all in. this location is worth it 1st time or a repeat visit or 2 :-).

Fire Pits and AC Not Working
The outdoor and indoor fire pits weren’t working. After I contacted the staff, they came the next day to add gas, but it really affected our experience. The AC also didn’t work, so it was very hot at night.

Magnificent place to stay
As others have said, it's unbelievable that you can rent such a magnificent home. The kitchen is huge with top of the line appliances, and everything you need (if you can find it in the many many cabinets and pantry). Each large bedroom really is separate from the others with gorgeous finishes in the bathrooms. Our group of three couples found plenty of space for privacy or group gatherings. And then, there is the location and views- the very best in that section of coast. We celebrated our 50th anniversary there with our two grown kids, their spouses and granddaughter. It was perfect - can't recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful Home
Beautiful home with an incredible view! We loved that every couple had a private room with their own bathroom. The house is well stocked, clean and has more than enough space for everyone to be comfortable and feel at home. We would definitely stay again!

Gualala Girl’s Weekend
We loved the house! We had nine people staying at the house and it was such a great size for all of us. The kitchen was perfect for cooking all of our meals, the deck and hot tub were wonderful for hanging out and enjoying the view, and there were plenty of comfortable beds for everyone. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!
