Buckhorn Cove Ocean Front with Private Peninsula

This once-in-a-lifetime retreat offers unsurpassed views of the spectacular Mendocino coastline and iconic Buck Horn Cove. With over three acres, this property features a private peninsula where you can truly experience the power and beauty of the mighty Pacific. The main house includes three bedrooms, two downstairs, and a large primary suite on the second level with a private bath and balcony. There is also a private guest cottage that includes a freestanding gas fireplace and a private bath. The large deck has a sunken hot tub situated in the perfect location to relax and be mesmerized by the everchanging views. Because of the cliff-front location, there is a minimum age of 10 years and over required for any guests. Please note that the staircase at the top of the bluff is restricted, and no access is allowed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: So Lucky to have stayed here for four days with a group of dear friends. The views from the house of the cliffs, ocean and sunsets are not to be surpassed. It has the most well equipped kitchen of any rental I have spent time in and its now my go to place for an accommodation in coastal northern California - its just ten minutes to downtown Mendocino and a short drive to Jug Handle and Van Dam state parks. We didn't use the hot tub, but will certainly avail ourselves to it on our next visit.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything about this home is perfection . From the serving pieces in the house to the furnishings to the fireplaces.... And the view is unreal. The only complaint is that there is no box spring or platform on the master bedroom bed so the mattress sinks halfway to the floor when sleeping -making for an incredibly uncomfortable experience. I called and let someone at the office know - but never heard back. All that said- we are already looking to book another stay- hopefully the bed will be repaired by then...

Visited for my birthday and could not be happier with my visit. Even with the winter weather i was able to enjoy the views from the family room and the peninsula, in fact the weather made it even more dramatic! Cozy, warm, comfortable and still able to enjoy the ocean!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time, check in/out was simple. The views and location are unbeatable. Would return. Only thing is the online info said the house had 3 king beds and 1 queen. There were only 2 kings and the other 2 were queens (almost felt like full beds). The house was clean but on some sheets you can tell an animal was there before by leftover hair. Again the house location and views are spectacular. Thank you! We will be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is quite spectacular.The house is charming with just the right amount of old to complement the new. Attention to detail was much appreciated. I was very impressed with the cleanliness. Hats off to the cleaning crew!!!!The grounds are inspiring. Crossing the bridge to sit on the peninsula lets you enjoy even more of its beauty.My only nitpicky comment would be that there are no dimmers.That being said, we would return in a flash. You will be thrilled that you have decided to stay here.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is absolutely stunning. The views from the home and bluffs are such a wonderful showcase of how truly breathtaking nature can be. Every direction looking out from the house or from the bluff areas was truly amazing. The house and cottage are very well designed and very very clean. The kitchen was well appointed and had plenty of dishware and cooking tools. The wifi worked well. The grounds around the house are very well kept. The deck was perfect for dining and sitting to take in the view. The hot tub was very clean and the perfect way to end the day and listen to the sounds of the ocean. Will definitely be coming back to this location to enjoy again some day.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Buckhorn Cove lived up to the pictures. The setting is stunning and the location convenient for day trips. One day we were surprised to see a sea otter wander across the front deck - atop the 50 foot cliff.The house is recently remodeled and well equipped. On arrival the place was spotless with all recently cleaned windows. The only personal difference we would note is that the mattress in the upstairs master bedroom is extremely soft with no box spring or solid surface above the bedframe bars. All in all, a memorable visit!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed in many places in Mendocino over several decades, and this was one of the very best.There is an unobstructed 180 view from the West and South sides of the house of the ocean, In addition to the large Western/Southern deck there is a shady patio area on the East side of the house with a small garden area surround. Good laundry facilities. Comfortable beds. Large screen TV where you can log onto many streaming sites (Bring your passwords).The kitchen was equipped so well, it was hard to believe. EVERYTHING that one could want to cook a fairly complex meal (a Mandoline!!!!, salad spinner, sharp knives of every shape and size.....) If you have a chance to stay in this property--take it. You won't be disappointed.The house is a 10 minute drive South of the town of Mendocino.
