About this house rental
Perched on a bluff at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, Grandma’s Beach Cottage offers unobstructed white water views that cannot be improved upon. She sure knew how to pick em’ - this house could not be better placed! It is one of only three homes located inside the private gated entrance to Irish Beach’s exclusive beach access and looks right down the beach to the western most point of the lower 48 – the Point Arena Lighthouse. Grandma was very unpretentious and so is her house; she built the first home in Irish Beach with 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, constructed of solid core redwood (no paneling here!) with lots of windows to soak up the view and a fully equipped kitchen. Grandma didn’t want us kids sitting around a TV when there was exploring to be done outside, nor was she going to be inside doing laundry. You will not find a TV or laundry facility in this house! She didn’t really know how to use a computer, but yes our house is equipped with wifi. I think Grandma must have been a romantic, because her house sure puts you in the mood. With a glass of wine in front of the fire and the constant sound of the crashing waves, honey by my side, well... I just can’t think of anything better! If you love long walks on the beach, and natures wondrous scenery I think you too will love Grandma’s Beach Cottage.

This cozy cottage has spectacular views of the ocean and Irish Beach which is just a short walk down the hill. It was a comfortable place to relax and unwind from the world. Great fun watching the birds soar up and down the coast right outside the windows, including a bald eagle! We will be back.

Grandma’s Cottage was exactly what we needed. It was charming, peaceful and the view was extraordinary. The wildlife we saw from the living room windows was varied and included deer, foxes, and whales. The kitchen was well outfitted and the internet connection was reliable. The master bed (we only used one) was comfortable and warm and the fireplace easily warmed the cottage. The parking area is limited and steep. It would be difficult for a big vehicle. That said I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic view to Point Arena down Manchester Breach. We saw a fox, osprey, bald eagle, sea lions, and a couple of whale pods. EZ access to Irish Beach. Great house and location. Host instructions were easy and provided timely. Thanks!

The house is fantastic, the pictures on the add do not show the beauty of the views! The fireplace is adequate. The beach view is excellent! I had an excellent time with my family
