Pelican Point, Dramatic Ocean & Coast Views, Spa, Next to Town

THE VIEWS DO NOT GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS! The pictures give you some idea of the magnitude of the view down the coast, but to a tee, guests say it doesn't match seeing it in person.
When you walk in the front door, my best description is that it's like looking out of a cruise ship that docked on a private cove. With Russian Gulch State Park as our neighbor, you have a unobstructed view all the way down the coast to the Mendocino Headlands! Stormy days are majestic as you sit and watch the coastline explode as far as the eye can see. Sit outside on our large deck overlooking ocean and hear nothing but the waves while watching the migration of the gray whales, or relax in the hot tub with the same commanding views. We added a downstairs patio complete with a fire pit. Yet you are only 5 minutes from downtown Mendocino, full of great shopping, restaurants and nightlife. Russian Gulch State park is less than 1/2 mile from the house where you can hang out at their beach, Kayak the coves, or hike the trails to waterfalls. Take a stroll to the Pt. Cabrillo Lighthouse or a little further brings you to Caspar Beach where you can surf, kayak or simply lay back on the large sandy beach.
Back at our home, we have all the amenities you will need, from a full kitchen, cable TV, stereo, VCR, DVD, to a game room complete with a pool table, antique slot machines, corn hole and giant Jinga sets.
Build a fire, turn on our funky fish lights (By artist Doug Rathbun), pour a libation and enjoy. Stroll downstairs to the game room and enjoy a game of pool, or walk outside to the hot tub that is situated with the same commanding views and look at the stars overhead. This place is truly special, no doubt about it. From its unassuming exterior to the warm amenities inside, we guarantee the place will take your breath away.
A little update. At this point we've owned the place for some 11 years (2011-2022) I still get chill's every time I enter the home. The views are commanding. You'd be hard pressed to find a better location. It literally takes 5 minutes to get to downtown Mendocino. There you will find a historic town ripe with restaurants, shopping, grocery store and a museum. 6 miles north you will find Ft. Bragg with all the above plus a harbor that offers fishing and whale watching. Don't miss the Skunk Train.

Welcome to Pelican Point.
You will love it, ...I guarantee it!

Unique! Funky and Fun!
Wonderful Stay! The artwork in this home is unique and fun, adding a special touch to the experience. Located in a beautiful neighborhood with spacious lots, it’s right next to a fantastic state park and offers great views of the coast and surf. This house is far from a cookie-cutter home and has its own distinct charm. For anyone who loves 60-70s rock memorabilia, this place is a dream come true!

Fantastic Family Place
We had a mini family reunion here. The place is over 3 levels, giving plenty of space for all. The deck is completely fenced in, which is great for the little ones. The most amazing thing was the fantastic view & the constant sound of the waves. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful way to enjoy Mendocino
The house was perfect and beautifully appointed with wonderful art work. We were close to all the places that we wanted to experience: biking along the Big River, hiking , fishing for rockfish, sea kayaking, and visiting town for a little shopping and dining. The hot tub was a welcome tonic for sore muscles, and the view was fantastic. Our 9 year old granddaughter is a competitive swimmer, so we were fortunate to be able to watch the Olympic trials on TV. Plus grandpa taught her how to play pool. Only suggestion: the water filter on the fridge needs replacing if that's what the red light means. Thanks, Don, for a memorable stay.

Wonderful home with beautiful views
This home is a great vacation spot. The home feels like a cabin, but is very large to give everyone space. We sat on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding green. We also enjoyed using the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked and the home is perfect for groups of 6 to 8 people. Be aware that there is no laundry access so pack accordingly. This was a spectacular home in one of my favorite places on earth and made for a wonderful week at the coast.

Pelican Point does NOT disappoint
The online photos do not do this amazing place justice … exceeding our expectations, we were thrilled with the wonderful ocean views and delighted with the eclectic and fun decor. This home has “wow” ocean views and extraordinary metal art inside and out. We star/moon gazed each night while also listening to the waves breaking from the warm comfort of the ocean front hot tub. It was a special occasion for us and staying at this unique home only enhanced our anniversary experience. 5 stars and would highly recommend this neat home and friendly homeowner to anyone that wants to enjoy a memorable stay in Mendocino.

Incredible property, ocean views, and home!
The ocean and coast views are absolutely incredible and the location is perfect - a super quick drive south gets you to Mendocino's little town and Fort Bragg is about 15 minutes drive north. The home was also amazing: super fun and eclectic, comfortable, clean, and has literally everything you need. Every aspect of this home was welcoming and extremely well thought out. Definitely book this property for an unforgettable stay on the Mendocino coast!

Lovely retreat in paradise
This spacious house is perfectly appointed with all you will need for your stay. The location could not be better. It's private but a short drive to town and adjacent to beautiful parks. The decor is older but in good condition. We were a party of six but at least two more could have stayed with us in the plentiful accommodations.

Pelican Point was a perfect place for our family vacation. This comfortably large, well-equipped, unique house, with its beautiful views throughout, and it’s unique fascinating art, made for a wonderful family vacation. Don, the owner, has furnished the house with everything we could have possibly needed. Mendocino has always been our go-to place to relax and nourish the soul.

10/10!
My wife and I have stayed at many beautiful Mendocino Vacation Rentals in the past, but the Pelican Point Rental takes the cake. From the moment we pulled onto the quiet neighborhood road just off Hwy 1, there was no denying we had arrived at our new favorite getaway. The entire neighborhood is peaceful and serene, with all of the homes sitting on ample property throughout the natural landscaped bluff - offering lots of privacy and an overall feeling of safety. We enjoyed morning walks through the neighborhood and seeing ocean views peak through the giant cypress trees while admiring the other beautiful homes. The Pelican Point Rental itself is clean, inviting and cozy, without feeling sterile and bare like some rentals we’ve experienced. We loved the big ocean facing windows in the master bedroom and livingroom. The eclectic decor gave the space even more personality, and seeing so many great guitars on display were a treat, as my wife and I are both musicians. The hottub was definitely where we spent most of our time, with the ocean views and music in the background it felt like we were on our own private island. Heavenly! We love visiting the Mendocino Village yearly, and plan on rebooking our future visits exclusively at Pelican Point(if it’s available!). It’s truly a special place with lots of personality, comfort, and a spectacular location.

Incredible view with lush grounds
Our family of 6 including tweens and teens, loved this property! The rich history through the owner’s art is fun to explore and learn. The property is gorgeous with sweeping views of the ocean and perfectly manicured landscaping. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked for a home cooked meal. There were just too many incredible things to explore along the coastline before we had to leave. Phenomenal stop on a PCH road trip.
