Vacation rentals with beach access in Mendocino County

We were lucky to find the perfect time for staying at this beautiful spot. It was a great location, with parking off the street, access to nearby headland trails- while still being walkable to the rest of town. Our host, Mary was the very picture of hospitality- reaching out to us to coordinate our arrival after a delay driving through the Bay Area; then again intermittently checking in with us to make sure there were no problems. Prior to our stay, she was also very helpful and listed recommendations on places to eat. We had a wonderful stay and intend to return to enjoy the lovely views and relaxing environment we find ourselves wishing we could live in full time.

All I can say is wow, what a perfect stay we had at The Guest Nest! Kerry's place is beautiful, inside and out - spotlessly clean, well thought out, cozy and spacious. Lots of light during the day, and the fireplace kept us warm at night. The views from the windows, porches & garden are amazing, from the garden, to the grounds with the deer grazing, to the ocean. Absolutely fantastic neighborhood as well...Caspar Headlands and Caspar Beach are an easy walk, and they're both gorgeous. Last but certainly not least, Kerry was an amazing host - extremely helpful, kind and communicative. If I ever find myself in the Mendocino area again (which I hope to!), I would absolutely love to stay in The Guest Nest again, just an amazing place/host!

Great stay here, comfortable bed and an easy to find location right off Highway 1. Highly recommend visiting Point Arena Lighthouse while you’re here, it was excellent. All-in-all, a great place to rest your head after a long day outside.

Beautiful large studio with a sitting area and balcony. The kitchen is small but well stocked and clean. We loved our stay.

Wonderful spot right on the lake. Next door to a free boat ramp. 4 minute drive to a bunch of restaurants and parks. Also the inside was all newly remodeled, very modern kitchen and bathroom. Will likely be coming back.

We had a wonderful stay at Kerry’s place in Mendocino. The location was peaceful and private, perfect for a relaxing getaway. It was close to stunning, walkable trails with beautiful views of the ocean, birds, and unforgettable sunsets. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was truly magical. The home was cozy, clean, and well-kept, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kerry was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making the whole experience seamless. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat surrounded by natural beauty, this is the perfect spot. We’d love to return in the future!

Nancy and Sam were amazing hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed staying at their place. Great views, great amenities and overall a wonderful place. Would love to come here again!!

This place was beautiful, homey, relaxing, and all around an exceptional stay. Lisa, the host, was very responsive and kind. The place is in the heart of Mendocino Village yet very quiet and private feeling. We will stay again!

A huge thanks to Karla for our stay at her lovely home. The pristine location was easy to find with a phenomenal view of the ocean. I appreciated her proactiveness in making sure we knew to stock the kitchen for cooking and the easy instructions for entry given that cell service is not great in the area. We loved Karla's curated collection of art, music and good reads, something that I think should be better highlighted within the listing. For us, our "staycation" turned into a magical weekend full of love, laughs and good company and I'd like to thank Karla for helping us to orchestrate this. She was very responsive when we asked for local recommendations prior to our arrival and reached out intermittently to ensure we were enjoying our time. As a group, we decided this was a trip that could easily turn into an annual occurrence and I look forward to maybe maintaining a relationship with our lovely host!

This home is decorated so beautifully, and the kitchen is very well appointed. They really thought of everything, even providing crab cracking tools! The decor is thoughtfully artistic and eclectic, exactly the vibe I'm looking for when staying in Mendo. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very supportive. The views are incredible. I would absolutely consider renting this place again.

The view. It's maily the view that no picture can really describe. But than again, the house itself is so nice, with great feeling of privecy but still near fine restaurants, wineries, short or long hiking trails, sea and forests. Perfect location

We spent the Labor Day weekend here. The house was great - clean and enough spaces for 2 families. The house was at the channel of the clear lake- basically at the entrance of the lake. We brought our inflatable SUP boards and had a great time going into the lake and go look at the houses in the channel. Our kids had a great time in the yard. The kitchen is fully equipped and enough seating for all of us. Definitely recommended!

A spacious home situated in a quiet area, providing peace and tranquility. The house is nestled in a comfortable and the serene environment, making it perfect for a restful getaway. Thanks Judy!

I almost hesitate to say how great this place was so that it stays a hidden gem that’s available to us for stay after stay. It has stunning views from every window, is more spacious than it appears in photos and exceeded all of our expectations. Particularly fabulous were all the stunning houseplants - including some two stories high - that were all healthy and happy. We could not believe this is a dog friendly place - there wasn’t any evidence that a dog had ever been inside. Immaculate. Ted was responsive and friendly. We hope to be back soon!!
