The Frolic- Dramatic Ocean Front Home with a Truly Unique Historic Setting
About this house rental
Nestled in Caspar, this attractive house for R 9,183 per night is a great choice for your next trip. The Frolic, a delightful vacation rental -on the oceanfront of the Mendocino Coast – and just 4 miles from Mendocino Village – is a charming spot with views of the ocean from almost every room. Surrounded by the beauty of the coastal location, this spacious home provides a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Frolic Cove - just steps away from your front door – takes its name from the tragedy of the 1850 wreck of the clipper ship, “Frolic”. Laden with Chinese household goods and bound for San Francisco, the Frolic was a total loss from the storm; it remains one of California’s most important Gold-Rush-Era shipwrecks. The search for the lost ship resulted in the discovery of the riches of the redwood forests along the Mendocino Coast. You and your guests will be enamored with the idyllic (and convenient) location of this contemporary country cottage! Spend an afternoon hiking in the Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park whose extensive property borders this home… or soak up the sun on one of several beaches located nearby. Just minutes away is downtown Mendocino, where you'll find a variety of shops, galleries, gardens, and restaurants that dot the streets of this picturesque community. Perched overlooking the cove and the ocean… and with views both east and west… early risers can watch the sunrise from the comfort of the wooden Adirondack chairs on the porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee or tea. After a day exploring Mendocino and the surrounding area, spend an evening with a glorious sunset or wish on shooting stars while you relax your sore muscles with a soak in the private hot tub! The living area is cozy and inviting… curl up on the couch with your favorite novel or catch up with friends while admiring the ocean views. Both the living room and master bedroom boast a wood-burning fireplace! Two bedrooms (one king and one queen) and three bathrooms, make this well-designed home an ideal getaway for up to four people. The layout of the house lets you enjoy an open and spacious living space with the bedroom en suites at either end affording the best of privacy. The newly remodeled galley kitchen is fully equipped, ready for anything from a mid-morning snack to a holiday meal. An outdoor charcoal grill makes a summer BBQ both simple and fun! This home away from home offers a variety of amenities - sure to entice any guest - from the private hot tub to a flat screen TV. Recently remodeled, upgrades include zone heating for every room, energy efficient appliances, and many decorative details. If you need to bring work with you, the wireless internet allows you to stay up to date and connected to coworkers back at the office - or to upload pictures to Facebook to share with your friends and family back home. Sorry no children or pets allowed at this property.

This house is beautiful and meticulously maintained. Soaking in the hot tub with the Pacific crashing beneath you is a rare treat. The architecture and layout maximizes both views and privacy. The kitchen is fully loaded so cooking is a pleasure. It is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in and we rent airbnb's at least three to four times a year. It was my sister's birthday and they made sure they were fresh flowers and a birthday sign to welcome her. The only thing I would suggest adding are spa bathrobes. We brought our own so no worries, but it did pick up some extra space as we packed.

Two of us spent a weekend at The Frolic and plan to return for a longer stay. The property and location are idyllic; the house is clean, comfortable, and well provisioned; and interactions with the management were friendly and efficient. Everything was as pictured, including the amazing views from the house and hot tub. We will be back! One note for late risers: housecleaning arrived promptly at checkout time.

It was a glorious, relaxing week in Mendocino.
The frolic house had everything we wanted- privacy, beautiful views, close proximity to everything. The house was clean, spacious, equipped With everything we needed.
The hot tub at the end of a meandering wooden path with ocean views was sublime.
It was warm and cozy with two fireplaces.
We cooked almost every day and loved the location.
We will be back.

We have stayed at Frolic several times over many years and always have a great time. I remember there being two comfortable chairs in addition to the sofa. Another chair would be useful.

The house is architecturally appealing and the location is spectacular. We enjoyed the views and wildlife. The beds were command everything was clean. The only issues were that the spa was out of service and one of the showers had no temperature control - only full hot or full cold. Hopefully that will be fixed for the next guests. We would stay there again and recommend it to others.

I had a wonderful time at The Frolic. The house itself is well set up, the two bedrooms opposite sides of the house for privacy. The master bedroom has a wall of windows facing west and a sliding glass door facing south, so there is a great view of the ocean. Unlike some of the other houses in the overall neighbourhood, this house does not get light from the lighthouse, which for me is a great benefit because I have a hard time sleeping through the light circling constantly. The second bedroom also has a wall of windows facing west and has a great view. The living room/dining area is just like the bedrooms - lots of windows so you can see the ocean from where you sit. The kitchen is nicely laid out, with a good selection of pots and pans, dishes and glasses. There's a back bonus room with a tv and comfortable seating.There are two Adirondack chairs on the front porch, which catches the morning sun. It's a nice place to read and eat breakfast and has a nice view of a meadow adjoining the lighthouse. The back porch also has outdoor seating, but it was mostly windy in the late afternoons, so I didn't sit outside. Hot tub is nice little walk on boarded walkway and has a full ocean view below. It rained while I was there, but that never bothers me because I come from a cold environment and it simply seems like spring or fall to me, and I only stay in when the rain is coming down sideways. It simply doesn't get any better than this and I can't wait for my next visit.

Reviewer Comments:
The ocean view was magical. The property itself was nice. If arriving after sunset have a great flashlight because otherwise place is so obscure can create logistics issue. That’s good for a peaceful stay though once found. Management company really attentive especially Duff! Experienced a power outtage due to a major storm during the stay and afterwards noted neighbors all seemed prepared with generators but this property doesn’t supply a generator. Odd considering the area according to the locals gets outtages quite a bit ... aside from that the overall stay was peaceful, private, and relaxing.

Location! Location! Location! Went for a birthday getaway and had a relaxing, enjoyable stay at the Frolic. The views are incredible - a private oasis. The decor and furnishings are an eclectic mix of Asian inspired, modern, and rustic. We had everything we needed except cell service, but I did not mind. We saw and heard all kinds of woodland creatures (coyotes, deer, racoon, skunk, birds...) and were able to whale watch from the deck. Sitting in the spa at night and listening to the waves crash and break is truly relaxing. My only critique is that while stocked with plenty of firewood, there was no fire starter/kindling, and the fireplaces were "not ready to go" as described. Also, while clean and tidy, it was in need of a deep clean (cobwebs) and the white draw shades are in need of cleaning or replacement. However, none of this took away from an amazing time. Close to Mendocino, short walk to the Lighthouse, and a quick drive to Fort Bragg. I will definitely stay here again.

Great house with gorgeous views. However we had no hot water for the first 18 hours. Problematic. Bedding smelled dirty and bed pillows in master were yellow under the pillowcases. Not sure i would stay here again for those reasons.

The Frolic is an amazing home that we are so greatful the owners would share with us. The place is right on the ocean. The Point Cabrillo lighthouse state park is connected to the property with access trails. There was a hot tub right on the ocean which we watched the sunset from every night. The home has a beautiful ocean cabin feel with all the needed amenities for a wonderful stay. Views, views, and more views. Unforgettable views. Check in/out process was easy with the Rental management company located a short drive away in the wonderful small town of Mendocino. We enjoyed our stay so much we will be back next year for sure. Thank you for sharing this wonderful location with us. Such a beautiful home, and such a great place to unwind, relax, and just let the crashing sound of the ocean melt away the daily grind.
