About this house rental
Stay in a piece of history in this 1880 nostalgic home on the edge of the town of Mendocino, offering amazing white water views and stunning sunsets. Enjoy the sights and soothing sounds of the waves while relaxing on the sun porch with a good book or take a short walk to access the 340 scenic acres of the Mendocino Headlands State Park and Big River Beach. The living room offers another area to cozy up in front of the crackling fireplace and enjoy those amazing views. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, (2 queens, 1 twin room) all with ocean views. (Queen sleeper sofa located in living room.) The bright kitchen is open to the dining area and includes a peninsula that can be used for eating, playing games or supervising the chef. If you don't feel like cooking, the seaside village of Mendocino is just a short walk away and offers charming restaurants, unique boutiques, galleries specializing in local art, and lively entertainment. Mendocino's McCloud House is the perfect setting to create Mendocino memories that will last a lifetime.

Property clean and convenient! Loved the app! Wish there was a dishwasher but no idea where they would put it. Would definitely stay again

Property is charming, comfortable and convenient. And in a gorgeous location with a spectacularly framed view of the ocean.The only constructive comments are that it would be easier to have the house instructions printed and available at the property. And upon entering there is a strong musty smell that sometimes wafts through the house, even upstairs. But luckily it’s not always present. To end on a positive note, the hosts or management are good communicators and provided a lovely welcome.

What an amazing retreat! We chose this place over a nearby inn or bed and breakfast because of the more affordable price, and it did not disappoint. We were in town for a wedding, and it was the perfect distance from the venue, as well as neighboring towns and local shops.The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay—even creamer for the coffee maker, which was stocked with coffee grounds. We didn’t have any issues during our stay that required reaching out to the property managers; the instructions provided were clear, detailed, and easy to follow.While it didn’t have AC, the temperature is pleasant year-round, and if it ever gets chilly, there are baseboard heaters and a fireplace on the first floor (with firewood and kindling included). Quaint and quiet—just what we needed. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, this is a great spot!

For whatever it's worth I selected a historic house in Mendocino. The area is beautiful, but the town is overpriced and artsy weird. So the house is kind of like that, and didn't have the amenities I'd prefer. You couldn't open but about 2 windows for a breeze. There were a lot of additional instructions throughout the home which made things less warm and friendly. The whole onboarding process once I completed the sign up through VRBO was cumbersome and absurdly duplicated. All in all this feels more like a place for an eclectic older couple with some sort of toy dog, not really for a family. Don't get me wrong, the house fits the Mendocino vibe, but I've strongly reasoned that I could live without that town. I visited because I had childhood memories of going there, and do not feel the need to return again.
