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.

It was a good place to stay for the two nights we were there but we had two ford f150s and the drive way was way too little, has a steep downward grade and they wanted us to have one truck parked at the Russian park down the way vs. Just having it be a bit in the small culdsac above. The hottub was dirty idk when the last time water was cleaned out, we did see whales last day, the deck needs to be replaced a few bords are rotten, and needs to be re painted especially if they are gonna have a wood deck by the ocean. There is a lot of crap in the cupboards so no room for your own groceries to put away, some lights didnt turn on. BBQ barley work, and the propane to the mainhouse was turned off we had to light the pilots.

Perfect and very private location. Great ocean view.

The Whalesong neighborhood is quiet, with noise blunted by tall trees. The sound of the waves heard from the house and deck is very soothing. Sitting in the hot tub, you can see the ocean. It is very clean. There are 5 state parks within 10 miles.

10.0 / 10.0

It is quiet at the Whalesong, with a beauitful view of the ocean. You can hear the waves from house when you open the glass doors. 5 state parks are within 10 miles. The house is very clean, comfortable. We parked in the upper parking lot as the ascent from the lower one is short and steep. It was not hard to carry our belngings to the house. A very restful, peaceful place.

Great place. Quite and cute. Could use new bed down stairs, also has a small ant problem.

This home is situated in a quiet neighborhood, and has stunning views from the bedrooms, decks, living room and dining room. There were three of us, but the house would easily accommodate two couples and a couple of kiddos. The kitchen is well supplied, and there were plenty of towels and paper products for our group. We loved having lunch on the deck at the picnic table, while watching for whale spouts. Be prepared for a very steep driveway. We were glad our car didn't have a manual transmission!

Located in a very quiet neighborhood with a view of the ocean - we felt like we were miles away, but with Mendocino and Ft. Bragg a very short distance away - we had everything we needed!

10.0 / 10.0

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!

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.

8.0 / 10.0

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.

Lovely, quiet sanctuary with wonderful ocean view. Very comfortable place to stay--we've stayed there 3 times. Nevertheless, renters should be aware of very steep driveway, and inside stairway that is steep--treads too narrow and rise too high. Both are manageable, but just be aware. In lovely neighborhood between town and the Pt. Cabrillo Lighthouse.

Most of the electrical outlets throughout the home didn’t not work could not plug things in . When the microwave was running the house shorted out and lights flashed and blinked . There were hardly any light bulbs in most of the outdoors porch lights and fixtures in the home so we could see . There was a dirty used tampon on the side of the hot tub when we got there . :(. No net to clean out and debris out of the hot tub if needed . Railings were very flimsy and lose and there were soft spots on the floor of the deck which were super sketchy. Since it’s 20 feet up in the air . Vaccum had a hole in the cord and smelt like electrical fire when we tried to vacuum..so we didn’t . The washing machine’s thing on the inside was loose . And there were screens missing from the sliding glass door so we could leave the door open to get fresh air with out filling house with. Bugs . Also not enough trash bags were provided for a 5 night 6 guest stay . And the inside of the house smelled like A old people a house . ( you know what I mean ) like a dirty sweaty baseball cap. Furniture was very old and rickety . No where to put clothes away except in the closet that barely had a hanger . Had outdoor furniture on the inside 😳 hmmm… Veiw was good . Location was good driveway was a absolutely nightmare. And the WiFi sucked . Never could hook up to it . Ugh even after resetting the modem.

The view was great. The neighborhood was pleasant. The parking was a challenge. Heed their warnings and bring the 4 wheel drive.

8.0 / 10.0

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.

The views from the house are beautiful but there are only 2 outdoor plastic chairs on the deck that really need to be replaced and the door going out to the deck won’t stay closed unless you lock it. The house itself was nice but needs some attention…kitchen faucet needs to be fixed and there is a leak in the downstairs bathroom. Also the shower head in the upstairs bathroom should be replaced because it’s corroded. With just a few minor repairs Whale Song would be a 5 star house!

The home is located between Mendocino and Ft Bragg. Clean and appointed well enough for the price point; would definitely return.

Loved our stay! It was quiet and relaxing and the view was amazing!! Totally not the owners fault but there was a skunk that stalked us the entire stay. Just something that happens in nature but loved everything else about our stay.

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.

6.0 / 10.0

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

Every year we vacation in the Mendocino area, and on this trip we enjoyed our stay here for seven nights. It is a nice home in a great location, and it includes most all necessary amenities. We had a good time here. That said, I would like to make a few recommendations (not wholehearted complaints); First, there is a chair problem. The images on this listing show a number of chairs on each deck. However, on our visit, with three independent decks to enjoy the ocean view, there are now a total of only two outdoor chairs. So you cannot sit out on the top two decks, and the bottom deck does not accommodate more than two people sitting in a proper chair. With beautiful, clear weather all week, that was a problem. (It could use an umbrella or two for when the sun is beating down in the west, but not a deal breaker.) Also, one of the dining table chair arms is broken, which wasn't a big problem, but we had to be careful not to break it further. And there were only five dining chairs, which worked for us, though the home is advertised for six. With the chair situation, plus the very tight parking and the very tight living room (with far too bulky furniture), we think this home is ideally suited for four people, but with some changes could work for six. I will also note that the WiFi did not work at all (but it honestly was pleasant to be unconnected for a week). I sound like a complainer, but we had a good time in this home.

10.0 / 10.0

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!

10.0 / 10.0

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!

The home was everything we wanted and more than we expected! Clean, inviting and comfortable with a beautiful view. It had a friendly fox that we saw often. Even though we didn’t use the hot tub ( forgot our suits) it was clean and warm when I checked it out. We didn’t see any whales but we heard them early in the morning, it was too foggy to see them. We will definitely be back !

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.

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.

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

10.0 / 10.0

Wonderful cozy quiet stay, amazing views from every room, clean, comfortable, well-chlorinated hot tub with views. Was on crutches so appreciate that everything on first floor was accessible. Great location to visit light house and Russian Gulch. Downside Checkout at 10am with a family was a rush.
