Just be very careful to distinguish between “cottage” and “studio.”
Just be very careful about choosing “cottage” versus “studio” at this property. Vacasa has ZERO flexibility and it is not super clear from the listing which is which. I knew the property ahead of time, had stayed there before, knew the unit I was trying to get, and still ended up with the wrong one. Great property overall but disappointed with the booking process.

Great location
The ocean view in the pictures isn’t quite what you get when you sit on the front porch but you are close enough to hear the waves and glimpse the ocean through breaks in the tree line. Our main complaint is that the bed is super hard. My arms and shoulders kept falling asleep as a side sleeper so I tossed and turned all night for the two nights we stayed. The shower head is awkward -a minor annoyance that maybe they can correct.

Wonderful Mendocino Cottage
We were very happily surprised that this house was exactly as described-- and more. It is in a northern neighborhood of the town of Mendocino, across the street from an ocean cove. Though the view of the Pacific is partially blocked by trees from the front porch, a 2 minute walk down the street to a small park and benches offers a relaxing full view of the ocean, cove and waves as they crash below into the rocky bluffs below. The full kitchen was well equipped with plates, cups, cutlery and cooking utensils. The living room was comfortable and included TV with Dish Network, VCR and a few dozen DVDs. A public network wifi was available but the private network they offered was not. (I'll mention it to them.) The daily rental shown was reasonable for a one bedroom house but the total with fees and taxes was a bit of a shock for our 2-night stay. Be sure it's reasonable for you before finalizing your stay.

A little let down
The place is pretty old, good stuff: Very clean, comfortable bed, SURPRISED little pull out shelf (for my coffee in bed) came out of the nearby cabinet, loved that!!! Front porch (if you can look past all the overgrown weeds) was a nice place to relax, but barely hear or see the water. Some reviews from the other units were mixed with this place because they talked of a fireplace (none here), hammock (none here). There were notes to conserve water but that is hard to do when the water has to run for quite a while before it is hot. Also doing dishes when there is no stopper so the sink can hold water, so running water to wash and rinse…….and no dish towels to dry the dishes since there is no dishwasher. Bathroom sink doesn’t drain very well. Also could use a mat when stepping out of the shower. Luggage holder (2 in the closet) one is broke, has the screws holding legs but needs nuts on the ends or the screws just fall out. I think that is about it…..

You can see the water but…
It’s off in the distance and have to look through some trees. The property met our expectations. We knew it was a little dated internally and we did not have a waterfront view but great value for the price. Close to town and set off from the road a little. The 10AM checkout was a bit early for our liking, cleaners showed up at 9:55, but no overall complaints.

Great location and a cozy home
The location was stunning. It is so quiet and peaceful and only a couple of miles from town. The views from the front porch were a perfect spot for morning coffee. The home was spotless and very comfortable. We will be back.

Great Cabin by the Beach
Cozy little home near Mendocino. Short walk to town (although there is no dedicated sidewalk). Very easy drive to town or many nearby beaches.

Cute Cottage
The cottage was easy to find and a short distance to town. Clean and relaxing with beautiful flowers outside. Cottage just as pictured inside, and you could hear the ocean if sitting on the small porch, but would need to walk across the road to see it. Good weekend stay and base as we were out having adventures more than staying in. Thank you.

Great location
This home sits on a hill over looking the pacific , is quiet and spacious That said it needs some appointments… more than 2 forks, smaller sauce pan and frying pan, muffin pan, darkening curtains on the bedroom so when the motion light goes off it does not shine in your eyes, and better placed stripping on the bathroom door so your hands don't come away sticky Otherwise…We enjoyed the stay and home

Quiet, Peaceful Location on the Edge of Mendocino
This was a nice one room cottage for a get away to Mendocino. It was spacious and very clean. When you open the front door, you can look right out to the ocean, and you can also sit on the front porch and enjoy the view, fresh sea air, and sound of the waves.
