Summer in Mendocino Village Home
This was our second summer stay in this wonderful home located on the edge of Mendocino Village. The home is dog friendly, and extremely comfortable. The photos on the VRBO website are an accurate reflection of the home, furnishings, and amenities. Everything was in excellent working order, including great Wi-Fi internet, suitable for streaming and video conferencing. The house was well stocked with essentials. The owner, Lisa, is always responsive and attentive. One day the microwave stopped working, and we had a replacement within 15 minutes ! The home is in a great location for all the activities the Mendo Coast has to offer. This year we took advantage of the Kayak operation a few minutes away, as well as numerous walks and hikes through forests, coastlines, etc. The town has a variety of restaurants and shops, all within walking distance. There is a large deck on the second floor with great views of the ocean and bay. The deck is furnished with new cushioned lounge chairs and umbrella, making it ideal for reading, napping, and sipping wine. The house is surrounded by a large colorful country garden. We look forward to returning.

Fantastic
The house is very clean, I’ll start with that because it’s the most important thing for me. Lisa, the host, is helpful, easy to talk to, knows everything about town, and friendly while also letting you have your own space. Perfect. The view from the upstairs deck is breathtaking and the English garden in the yard is spectacular. The location couldn’t be better: close to town, one house in from the ocean, and had great privacy. Well stocked throughout, she’s anticipated what’s needed and made sure it was there. Lots of hooks for towels, coats, dog leashes, etc. A very comfortable place.

Summer at Mendocino Monthly
We spent a great two months at this relaxed, dog friendly home at the edge of Mendocino Village. Check in and check out was simple, and Lisa, the owner, was always immediately available. If she did not answer the phone right away, she would call back in about 10 seconds. There is a cleaning/maintenance crew close by that we were able to hire for professional house cleaning every few weeks (Our 11 year old Golden also loved this place). Everything in the house worked well. There is a full capacity washer and dryer, and the kitchen had a brand new gas oven. The internet worked well. I had no problem video conferencing and streaming on Roku. There is construction going on across the road, though this was not a problem at all. As other reviewers have stated, the best part about this house is the location. It is a walk or short drive to many sites for hiking and other outdoor activities. There are a number of restaurants within walking distance. Our favorites were Patterson’s Pub and Frankie’s for pizza and ice cream. We also had a wonderful anniversary dinner with friends at Cafe Beaujolais. There is a deck on the second floor of the house with good views of the bay and ocean. We spent many hours on the deck reading and sipping wine. We would definitely consider returning for another summer visit.

Location, location! Excellent value!
This is a “five star” stay because of the fabulous location! Just steps away from the Mendocino Headlands, it was a wonderful treat to wake up each morning and stroll onto the balcony to see an unobstructed view of the waves of the pacific! The home is walking-distance close to EVERYTHING—coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, and groceries. The location truly is superior! This vintage home itself can best be described as “funky,” with a casual decor comprised of a mish-mash of old furnishings and quirky curios. We found the layout of the place to be a bit awkward at first, but we ultimately found it to be quite workable, and dare we say, charming. Do note that the kitchen is a bit cozy with limited cupboard space. For those who plan to cook beyond very basic meals, we recommend that you consider bringing any cookware and accessories from home to facilitate meal prep. Finally, we were surprised to discover that the neighbor began construction on a home across the street the second day of our stay. A crew of workers arrived most mornings by 7 a.m. and much of the work was quite noisy. This is clearly a temporary inconvenience, and certainly not the “fault” of the owner of this property. If you are offended by the noise and mess of a neighboring construction zone, you may want to check the status of the neighbor’s project prior to booking. On balance, we very much enjoyed our stay in this home and found it to be an excellent value for money.

Mendocino Dreaming
Lisa’s house is the perfect spot for a one month stay in Mendocino. The house is very comfortable and quiet, and the location can’t be beat. But the best part is the ocean view! As others have mentioned, the upstairs deck is the place to be – a protected spot to watch the ever-changing ocean, the entertaining ravens, the beautiful garden below, and the stars at night. You won’t need to use much gas during your stay, because hiking, galleries, restaurants, and shopping are all within easy walking distance. It was fun to be a welcomed part of this community for a month. Lisa is a wonderful host, very responsive and helpful. We hope to return!
