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!

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!

Amazing Views!
We've stayed in Mendocino every year for the past 16 years, and this home has the best ocean views by far. The eclectic art was great to see and admire. However, the home needs a little TLC. Also, this is just me, but the towel material is not common. I have never stayed in a house that had microfiber towels, so it was strange tactile-wise for us. Just a short jaunt to the town of Mendocino (4 min or so).

Superb location, ample space and amenities, a surplus of kitchen gadgets and a plethora of whimsical lamps and light fixtures plus a fine assortment of guitars. So much to spark the imagination about the hosts identity making it near impossible to not have a good time.

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.

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.

Loved this place! The house has everything we need-room to spread out, amazing views from the deck, couldn’t ask for more. We were looking for a pet friendly rental so we could bring our 2 small dogs. It was so clean-not a trace of previous animals. We will be back!

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.

The views from the deck, dining room, and upstairs bedroom are amazing. We loved it here. The house is very large and inviting. The kitchen is well stocked. Russian Gulch State Park is very close and has a nice beach area. Also at Russian Gulch is the Devils Punchbowl, some sea caves, and a natural rock bridge.

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.

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.
