Wonderful
We’ve stayed in many different places in Mendocino over the years, but this home is far and away the best! Our parting gift today was sitting in the bedroom and watching the dolphins play outside our window. The house and its views are incredible. We will definitely return as it is our new house of choice.

Hard to beat
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: This house is special. The setting, the views, the house itself are all exceptional. It’s about 3.5 miles south of Mendocino, with a long driveway off of Hwy 1. Exiting the driveway left onto Hwy 1 is a little dicey because the views both ways are a bit blind. We turned right and made a upturn using a driveway a little further south. No big deal. When we entered the house we realized it hadn’t been cleaned. We called the office and they sent someone out promptly.

The house was perfect for a weekend getaway to unplug and experience the beauty of the California coastline. The house was well provisioned -- kitchen tools, linens, etc.

Marvelous Sea-Side Get-Away!!
This was the best vacation home we have ever stayed in! Everything about it was awesome: The views, the sounds, the living room (with fireplace), the bedroom (with fireplace), the hot tub, the spa tub (with great views) the closeness to great dining... everything! The serenity is unparalleled! The check-in and check-out procedures were easy to do. The communications with the property management were easy and timely. We recommend this home to any couple looking for an absolutely romantic stay on the ocean bluffs of the Mendocino Area!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've been staying here for years and every stay is better than the last one! Absolute peace and quiet except for the ocean and the gulls. The home is secluded and private with views you can't get anywhere else. Beautifully landscaped. Close to fine dining restaurants and a gormet kitchen if you want to cook yourself. We'll be back again!

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: This was our second stay, we couldn't wait to get back. The property is as described. What isn't described is the overall vibe of the setting. It is greater than the sum of it's parts.The place grows on you and you don't want to leave. It has become "hallowed grounds" for us. The guest log confirms these sentiments. The fireplace is very important to me, and this one rocks. All the great wood to burn you could want. Kudos to the MPVR Team. From "more firewood to late check out", they made it happen. A "top shelf" experience. Already planning our next opportunity to visit !A waxing 2nd quarter moon adds a whole new dimension to the location.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything about this property is wonderful, the views could not be better, the house is well equipped, it is a location that you just want to spend all day in looking at the ocean cliffs. The outside decks are also amazing and great for happy hour. Only desire is to have another bedroom so could share it with a friend.

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: My partner and I have been enjoying Ocean Splendor twice per year for the past several years. The property is beautiful, more than words can convey and the energy of the property and home cannot compare with anywhere. I regret that Ocean Splendor is booked for the next year entirely, and we'll not be able to come back in 2022. Ocean Splendor lives within us now. Do not miss your opportunity to experience this divinity when you have the chance.
