Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This is a really sweet and comfortable home in a gorgeous location. We enjoyed the bright living room for reading and playing games, soaked in the hot tub every day, and appreciated being close to the town of Mendocino. It was perfect for our weekend getaway.

Great location and lovely unit

The listing was as described, the location was perfect, with beaches and cafes within a 5 minute drive. Especially for the price, we couldn’t have asked for much more.
