About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ocean Views Mendocino Beach House Path directly to the Beach!

This 1880's home is large and comfortable. Although home is rustic and a bit funky, (Over 145 years old!) beds are all new and very comfortable, and it the ONLY home in Mendocino with an extra large yard and a path directly to the beach!

Great for a couples or a family. Everything is within walking distance, including coffee, restaurants, ice cream, two beaches, whale watching, live theater, art studio, shops and site seeing.

For that true needed relaxation the Mendocino beach house is the place. Just watch the waves from your deck as you drink some local wine, have a picnic lunch, or take a walk down the special beach path and explore the caves and look for shells and sea glass. Great for 2 weeks or more!

Also great place to get some work done. Wireless internet throughout. Printer, paper, desk, larger screen and hookups all available.

By the way Cinderella really did live here!

This house has a great location, a good size and setup, and a wonderful yard. It’s walkable to a beach, several restaurants, and stores. It was our dog’s first road trip, and she loved the yard even more than my kid did.

Everything worked as expected. The house was clean, the bed was perfect. The little amenities like coffee in the freezer, coffee pods, and tea bags were a very welcome surprise. The house is really conveniently located and we could walk at night to all restaurants easily. The backyard was super amusing with all the decorations and installations - tree fort included. Beach walk was very convenient and led directly to the river/ocean interface.We are looking forward to staying there again in the future.

I have to begin with the truth about this property, which is, the photos and description don't nearly do it justice. The house is warm and inviting with beautiful and well thought out personal touches. We didn't want for anything once we arrived. The location is perfect for strolling downtown and walking to wonderful dining experiences as well as shopping and art galleries. The backyard is unbelievably large and ringed with art and lush plants that hide even more treasures and secluded spaces to take in the beach and listen to the waves roll in. The private path to the beach itself was just enough to give you privacy from the folks strolling the shoreline and paddling out to surf. I almost didn't want to write a glowing review for this property because I wanted to keep this gem of the Mendicino coast all to ourselves. We will absolutely book another trip and only wished that we could have had more time to stay and bask in the beauty and comfort this property has in droves. Thank you so very much for allowing us into your home and giving us such wonderful memories to take home. Dayna and Nathan

My husband, our small dog and I very much enjoyed our stay at the “Cinderella House.” We appreciated the nice mix of old world charm and modern convenience, and most especially the story behind the house. (Yes, we bought a book!) The location was fabulous and it was a pleasure to amble along the gorgeous path down to the beach and also be able to walk to all the shops and restaurants in town.

Pleasant house

My husband, daughter, son-in- law and I enjoyed this house. It was the only VRBO I found in Mendocino that had king-sized beds in 2 of the bedrooms, so although it has a 3rd bedroom which we didn't need I rented it. The kitchen was well equiped although we were not cooking. They did not skimp on the matresses, pillows and bedding. The back yard is interesting. We did have difficulty getting into the lock boxes - host needs to explain them better - and the lock to the door was very difficult which we pointed out to the owner who came by. The path to the beach is a bit of a hazzard, but there is a good path behind the church 2 doors down. We had a wonderful meal at the Italian restaurant - I forget the name - that is just 3 blocks away, but if you are interested be sure to make a reservation. Also enjoyed The Wharf in Fort Bragg, and I also suggest reservations there. We were blessed with sunshine and no rain, but it is windy and thus can be cold in unprotected areas.

Revisit to Childhood Home

First, communication with Gary was great and I am are so happy we were able to stay in the “Cinderella House”. I lived in this house in the late 1950’s and have been wanting to stay here ever since it became available as a rental. I’m thrilled that Gary researched and provided historical information that I didn’t previously know about the house and previous owners. I appreciate that he has kept as much as he could of the original house. It does make it a little quirky, but that is really what makes the house charming and relevant to the charm of Mendocino, as it was just a sleepy fishing town in the 50’s.The beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and the backyard was amazing! The crab apple tree that I remember is still there and now creates an umbrella for a special area that I would’ve loved to have had as a child (I won’t spoil the surprise by going into detail). And then there’s the treehouse … and all the amazing artwork to enjoy throughout the yard.The items in the yard that have been collected over the years contained a wonderful surprise for our family (see Texaco truck photo of my brother). Who knows what else we may have left behind that now has a wonderful place for all to enjoy. Last, by not least, the view of Big River and the ability to walk down to the beach. Stunning and peaceful. I hope to bring my siblings back next time we rent this house. Thank you, Gary, for sharing your house so I could take a wonderful walk down memory lane.
