A fully equipped, recently built (2003) beach home with two comfy bedrooms with yummy queen beds, a great room, a private deck outside the kitchen, and a cozy, romantic rooftop living room or a back yard jacuzzi with ocean views and starry, starry nights. Our beach house and decks are protected from the strong winds that buffet the bluffside. Take a walk down the nature path or the road past Pomo Lake to the private, gated beach for five miles of sandy coast, dramatic rocks, and lively tidepools to explore. Or just cross the road and enjoy the thick Mendocino forest. Our home is two fully independent duplexes. Sarah and I have the smaller one bedroom south side, but we are rarely in residence. If by chance we are there during your visit, we are especially quiet and considerate.

The trip was a relaxing, quiet getaway. The description and photos in the ad are accurate. The house has lots of windows, great for watching the deer that appeared in the yard each day. There are 2 decks that offer great views. The outside hot tub was a very nice perk, as was access to the private beach. Dogs are allowed off leash. There were a few others there on Sunday but on Monday we had the beach pretty much to ourselves. I chatted with Jess for a few minutes before he headed out. Pleasant to talk to. He has the adjoining house. Written instructions were detailed and clear. The combination of quiet and thin walls/windows means that conversations in the bedrooms could be heard outside the house. Not an issue if the hosts are gone but otherwise need to be cognizant of the noise. Same with taking my dog out at night. Difficult to be quiet going out the front door which is near the front door of the adjoining house. I would have opted to go out the garage instead if the host was staying on site so as to not bother him.

I stayed here with a friend for a long weekend - we enjoyed ourselves immensely! Highlights were listening to the birds, the scent of the sweetgrass, a soak in the hot tub, and using this as a home base to explore the lovely coastal towns nearby. Jess left excellent and helpful instructions. We planned ahead for cooking on the induction burners/air fryer and the kitchen was pretty well appointed. We'd recommend a visit to Point Arena for two excellent bakeries - Franny's and Pelican Bread. Also highly recommend the coastal hike along the Stornetta Public Lands/Point Arena lighthouse. We'd stay here again!

After months of dealing with aging parents and angsty kids, my best friend and I needed a de-stress trip, and this rental was perfect for that. We loved the location, proximity to the beach, and the peace and quiet. The window seats were wonderful with plenty of light for reading and working on projects we brought. We were a little bummed that the fireplace didn't work, since it was quite chilly, but the heaters did a good job of warming us up. The beds were comfortable, the sheets soft, and everything we needed was provided. We stopped at Frannie's Bakery on our way home, and it definitely lived up to the owner's recommendation! Thank you so much.

The property is perfect, everything you need for a quiet getaway! Watch the sunset on a clean, private beach. Short drive to Elk for delicious food. Cook food at home, relax in the hot tub. The house was clean, the neighborhood was quiet. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay here and felt the descriptions were accurate and the local information about activities were so helpful. The kids loved the bakery and the B. Bryan Reserve.

My sisters and I had the opportunity to spend some time away. We all love to cook. We did not understand from the listing that the kitchen did not have a regular stove and oven. There was equipment that functioned as such, but it wasn't equipment we were acquainted with and required us to adjust our recipes and figure out how it all worked.
It was nice to have the cozy fireplace and views of the area.

I loved the house.
The only comment I would make and it is not a negative, just to let people be aware.
The only bathroom is up about 5 stairs next to the kitchen and if you using the bathroom during the night, be aware that you need to navigate walking into the next room and walking up some stairs.
But, the place if great and is very welcoming!

This was a great place to stay. The house was clean and just as described. The roof patio was/is a great place to look at the sky and star gazing all night. I will save this place and book again. Thanks

A little small and needs a bigger refrigerator and cooking capabilities (stove and oven). But doable and good place to relax.

This was the perfect weeklong getaway for me and my dogs. It's beautiful, quiet, and very peaceful. I like to leave town the week of the 4th in order to be able to sleep. We have too many people setting off fire crackers all week long. I came home feeling quite refreshed.

My wife and I took my midwestern parents up to this rental for a couple of days and, man, did it really impress us! We loved how clean and cozy the place was and enjoyed our downtime relaxing in the living room by the fire and up on the rooftop lounging area, enjoying the heaters and the view. The really close proximity to Irish Beach made this all-the-better - the semi-private beach was windy while we were out there, but it was GORGEOUS and my entire family had a great time watching the waves crash into each the cliffs and each other.
We REALLY enjoyed our stay and will definitely be a repeat customer the next time we’re wanting to stay in the area.

The light in this property is beautiful as it shines in in mornings! Very relaxing way to wake up! Nook is great spot to curl up with a book. Hot tub is also a plus. Wonderful location to unplug and relax with 2 people ot 2 couples and dogs. Agree cooking and fridge space limited so ne prepared for that and 'green egg bbq' with hickory wood chips (very easy to us) makes wonder meats and veggies

My dog Jack and I enjoyed our stay in this Irish Beach vacation home, one of our favorite parts of Northern California to visit and explore. The home was very clean and nicely appointed and I found the bed quite comfortable.
Cooking enthusiasts may find this home somewhat limiting as the refrigerator & freezer space is small and the hot plate, countertop oven/air fryer & outdoor grill present obstacles if you plan to cook for a large group but were entirely adequate to my needs. Vacationers with mobility issues should be aware the house is on a hill and does require negotiating two short flights of stairs for the main entrance, a split flight of stairs for the garage entrance, and access to the bathroom also requires a short flight of stairs.
My dog enjoyed the beach access and visiting the remarkably handsome dog that lived in the full length mirror in the walk in closet. We enjoyed our time here and would rent this home again.

This place has a good vibe and I would go back again.
Check-in process was easy. Beds are comfy and there's a deck off the dining room that over looks the backyard and hot tub. The fridge is small but it wasn't a problem and there's no stove top but also not a problem because what you need to cook is provided (air fryer, double hot plate). We didn't miss anything and we both like to cook. If you like to grind your beans for coffee, bring your coffee grinder. It's also nice that there's a garage to put your car in and enter through garage if you want to.
We had the place (it's a duplex) to ourselves except for one night and that was nice to have the privacy, especially for morning/evening hot tub soaks and talking on the deck. We met the property owner the next morning and enjoyed our conversation and hanging out for a bit. Jess was kindly responsive to any questions I had.

The host was welcoming and went out of his way to make us feel at home. We loved the open floor plan and comfort of the place. The rooftop lounge area was a great spot to relax and enjoy the incredible view. We enjoyed walking around the nearby lake in the morning and took advantage of the Irish Beach access that was a super short drive away every afternoon/evening. It's one of our favorite beaches we've been too. We would 100% come back to this house on vacation again.

Very much enjoyed our stay. Place is quaint and comfortable. It was a joy watching the family of quails graze right outside the backyard.
Will definitely plan a return soon.

As soon as I entered the front door, I was absolutely delighted! The place was sparkling clean, the interior was warm and inviting. It had the look and feel of a place that was designed with love. The attention to detail was exceptional, from the plush bath linens to the perfect variety of spices in the kitchen to the beautiful tile work and the wooden blinds.
We brought our two dogs with us. They are Chihuahuas and are usually pretty boisterous but they seemed to feel the relaxing vibe. I didn’t hear one tiny bark the whole time.
We all loved our little getaway. I can see us returning for a longer stay,

Two bedrooms, basic kitchen, great rooftop deck. My partner has some physical limitations and the small bathroom located up a flight of stairs was difficult for him to use comfortably. Otherwise, a nice escape on the Mendocino coast.

Very lovely stay - comfortable and clean. Good beds, excellent heat for that foggy chill. The only drawback for us was a limited kitchen - we usually do a lot of cooking when we’re traveling and it was a challenge here - but we made it work. The hosts were very welcoming and sweet. I’d go back for sure.
