About this house rental

This is a cozy eclectic cottage with stunning panoramic ocean views of Anchor Bay Beach from living room, dining area, master bedroom, and bathroom. Watch whales from the living/dining room, bedroom, deck and hot tub, see Osprey dive into the waters, relax as Pelicans glide over the waves, listen to the distant sea lions from across the ridge, and let the soothing sounds of the waves lull you to sleep.

The home is a 1/3 mile walk to the town of Anchor Bay where there is a grocery store with plenty of healthy/organic foods, and an excellent Thai restaurant. The town of Gualala is 4 miles away with more grocery shopping, a lovely bakery/coffee-shop (Trinks, their carrot cake is out of this world!), art galleries, and restaurants. And there is plenty of coastal hiking in the area including Bowling Ball Beach, Point Arena Light House, and Sea Ranch trails. Go a bit further, and in 45 minutes be in the lovely and historic town of Mendocino. Enjoy the boutique stores, fine dinning, and galleries in this ocean-side haven.

This home has been in the family for over 30 years. It is truly a magical retreat. Walk into the living and dining area and you have immediate panoramic Pacific Ocean views, and this continues to the Master Bed and Bath Rooms. The Master Bedroom has a very comfortable queen size Tempur-Pedic mattress. It has an adjoining bathroom with shower and walk in closet. You will not be disappointed by the view you wake up to! The second bedroom also has partial ocean views and has 2 twin beds and a 1/2 bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with updated pots, pans, and dish-wear. It has newer gas stove, refrigerator, and washer/dryer. There is an open living-room/dining-room with a sliding glass door to the deck. The living room has a wood burning fireplace, two swivel chairs to better enjoy the view! There is a modest flat screen TV with satellite channels.

What an amazing spot and amazing host. Piper was super responsive and was able to accommodate a last-minute stay less than 24 hours in advance. The place is absolutely gorgeous and set up perfectly for a relaxing stay, with plenty of ideas for cool nearby activities. 10/10

This house is better than you’re expecting. The decor is a little dated but it’s VERY comfortable. The house itself is kept up extremely well. The best part is the porch overlooking the water. It is amazingly private. You’ll find yourself enjoying the view for hours and maybe not seeing a single person!! There are some yummy little places to eat around, and Hwy 1 isn’t very busy. All in all, this place should be your next destination.

What a beautiful home! Views from every room with large glass window brought the outside inside. Way impressive property! Exceeded our expectations and we have already urged friends to consider a visit to this special place.

This is such a wonderful place! It is in the best location and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub worked great. We really enjoyed sitting on the back porch and going down the stairs to the gorgeous beach. The hostess, Piper, was super helpful and responded quickly to our messages.
