About this house rental

Nestled in Mendocino County, this lovely house for $250 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. 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. Please note that you will need to bring your own bed sheets and towels. Keywords: Spectacular oceanfront cottage with unobstructed whitewater views. Easy beach access and shortest walk to the beach of any home within the Irish Beach neighborhood. Private gated access. Secluded, private and cozy beach cottage. Abundant marine and wildlife.

Oh my goodness. This place is as good as all the other reviews say, and then some. We travelled all the way from Ohio bc I was obsessed with this listing, and it did not disappoint. Such a cozy, welcoming home that has everything you need. Our 14 and 11 year old had a great first experience with the Pacific, playing on the beach all day, exploring tide pools. And plenty of wifi to be on their tech at night. We also managed to tear ourselves away for a day and visit some redwood groves (Montgomery Woods is worth the drive!). Some great places to eat close by, and some more that I want to come back and try. Definitely get sandwiches at the store in Elk and have a picnic lunch at the park across the street! Thank you, Jennifer, for opening this wonderful cottage up to share and being such a kind and gracious host. Your communication was always so nice and helpful, and we appreciate all the time you spent making sure our stay was safe and pleasant, even when the weather wouldn’t cooperate! I hope to be back someday, if just to sit on the porch and drink coffee and listen to the roar of the surf. As my son described it, “this place is powerful and peaceful”. ❤️

Our stay was nothing short of magical. The moment we arrived all the stresses of daily life was washed out sea with the sound of the waves. Stunning views everywhere you look. We loved watching all the birds fly in and out of the tree by the bench. The morning we left we were even listed by a deer! We can't wait to come back.

My Wife and I came down here to Grandma’s cottage for our anniversary, very peaceful spot. The sounds and ocean views that you get here are truly unbeatable. We really enjoyed our time there. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

Had a wonderful time this is a great place to stay. Very relaxing. We only had one issue which is we have a big 2001 suburban and it was tough to navigate the driveway and the way down to the beach. With that being said, we will be back!
