Manchester condo
The condo was very nice with great views. Patti was easy to reach and allowed us to check in at noon which is earlier than normal. I wish we took advantage of that as the street, parking lot and walkway leading up to the condo was very dark (somewhat to be expected though for the area). Our only remark would be that the listing stated there was a hot tub and there wasn't. Patti was quick to answer my question and offered relief for the mistake. Other than that small issue it is a great place to stay.

Beautiful place
We loved our time at the house. Very nicely decorated, clean and well equipped. Location is beautiful up on the hill with great views to the ocean. Whale watching from the comfort of your bed! Only reasons for not giving 5 stars: -arriving after dark and w/o moon was a little tricky, fortunately one of our cell phones still had juice. -the 'fire place' was a bit of a disappointment

Awesome
Perfect place to get away from the grind! Centrally located a perfect location for daily day trips up down the coast. Super private, my 4 kids and dog were free to roam in and the house. Incredible ocean views throughout, had perfect weather for days and even had high pressure offshore winds a couple mornings. As everyone says Irish beach is a must and it totally is, with Patti’s rental you have access to the private beach and we used it to the max. Miles south for super private unexplored beach. Incredible! Patti was awesome and loved our stay.

Enchanted place
We arrived at the house late at night; it was uphill in the clearing. Coming to this beautiful, and comfortable, and pampering house was delightful. But still, the morning brought another charm - the view; the view is impressive. What a delight. Also, most important the owner. She is so sweet and helpful. She responded very quickly, send us elaborate instructions, and I need to say a special thanks for sending back the book that I forgot at the house.

Great stay in a secluded spot with fantastic views
We really enjoyed our stay in Manchester. The home was comfortable and the kitchen was great. We had plenty of space to relax and bedrooms were at different levels for privacy The sunsets from the home as well as the beach were great. We had fun at the private beach and loved the privacy of this hill top location. It was a great base camp for trips in either direction along the coast.

Comfortable, quiet home
We stayed for a week with two kids, 10 and 12 yo. The home was clean with comfortable beds and nice linens. We loved having the extra soft throw blankets to use on the couch. The kitchen had most of the usual utensils and supplies and good cookware. The area was very quiet, isolated with views of the meadows and ocean in the distance. We had a family of deer in the yard a couple of mornings. We had our dog and she loved the huge yard and the gated patio area made it secure to leave her when needed. My only feedback is with only one sitting area, it was hard to find another place to read or talk while the kids watched a movie. The lamp lights (no overheads) in the bedrooms were too dark for reading. However, in warmer weather, the patio area, garden or upper deck would have been perfect spots! It's not a complaint of the house, only the situation. We enjoyed the access to Irish Beach, which had great tide pools to explore and miles of sand to walk along. Pomo Lake was also a nice area to walk to and enjoy the sun. If you like to cook your own meals, plan ahead and bring your groceries. The local stores are a bit of a drive and are more "mom and pop" stores, not grocery stores, and it was hard to find fresh meat and fish. A good bet for groceries without driving too far is the Country Market/Ace Hardware store in Manchester (less than 10 minutes from the house). We food a good meat counter in Mendocino, which was a 45 minute drive. The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with! Overall, a good find and nice stay!

Magical Thanksgiving Week!
The property is delightful. Nestled high in the mountains above Irish Beach with sweeping majestic ocean views, this is a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate your soul. Highly recommend this property, the owner is extremely responsive and very helpful.
