Cozy cottage, responsive host. I would recommend this place and stay here again. I would like to add recommendations without sounding rude… fix locks on front door, it doesn’t seem like it closes tight enough and deadbolt doesn’t work. Bedroom with queen bed door doesn’t even latch, therefore can’t be locked. The other bedroom the lock is on the outside.

Cozy and comfortable stay. The beds are in the former side (which our group found comfortable and preferable to soft mattresses). Backyard was good for our dog (free of foxtails at the time of our stay). Heating worked great and kept us cozy on the first night which was cooler than expected. Note that the bedroom next to the laundry room does run cooler than the rest of the house - it was not a problem for our group. Plenty of towels and loved the many towel hangers so we don’t get the towels confused!Good proximity to downtown Mendocino. Convenient by car. I would book and stay here again. The place was clean (definitely as clean as my house when we clean our house) but not impeccably clean (we found a few stray hairs on the couch). One thing that almost deterred me from booking is the high deposit (which cost more than the rental). The owners were honest and returned the deposit in full. It’s probably a VRBO policy but it felt egregious to charge (not just a credit hold) such a large sum of money from booking date until 14 days after the stay. This resulted in about 2 months of total that I did not have access to the deposit money.

Host Frank & Bo were very kind and made sure we were happy with everything. Very clean & cozy, close to the beach where we took our daily walks. Bo even went to get ice cream at the store when she sent us to an ice cream place that was closed on the days we were there. So amazingly sweet.

The place is clean but know it’s extremely small (you can’t shower w/o knocking your elbows into something) and you have NO privacy - nothing on the site reservation page tells you that you share the lawn area w/ 3 other houses and the series of units are located directly on a busy road with traffic all hours of the day/evening. Sorry, but being that close to neighbors (literally spitting distance apart) requires disclosure and pics on your site - showing a fire pit w/ the rest of the units out of sight is bordering on false advertising.
