Oceanfront/ Stunning Views/ Hot Tub/ Contemporary

PadmaRating, 5 stars6 days ago

What an absolutely beautiful cottage with gorgeous views! It was easy finding the place, and the instructions for checkin were very clear. The cottage itself is modern and tastefully furnished. The best part is the cozy corner nook with views of the ocean in every direction. The deck was great and we loved drinking coffee to the sound of ocean waves. Lots of great things to do around here -- Point Arena lighthouse is a good visit, there are trails around there, and Gualala has a few spectacular trails too. We had amazing pizza at the Point Arena. In the other direction, Mendocino is another famous destination. The house was wonderfully clean and comfortable, and we are really grateful to have stayed here for a fantastic family trip. We hope to be back as soon as we can.

❤️Pebble Palace! OCEANFRONT! HOT TUB! WOW VIEWS!❤️

FironicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What an amazing property! It’s easily one of the most gorgeous homes I have stayed. I saw the photos and came in with high expectations but the view is even better in person. The rooms are spacious, clean and the theme is so cute. It’s so walkable in the community and so many good spots from the beach, short trail down the block, and a longer trail to the lighthouse. It’s 10mins from Mendocino and 10mins to fort Bragg. Super convenient. It’s so comfy of a place, I almost didn’t want to leave and just stay back and enjoy the view. I took advantage of the backyard and made a fire- made s’mores and hotdog. Made wonderful memories here.
