Mendocino Village Water Tower - Ocean & Garden Views

***PLEASE NOTE: The tower is only available for rental for stays between 3 nights minimum and up to one month maximum***

This includes all furnishing, utilities and laundry plus its own private high speed internet.

The Tower is located in the Mendocino National Historic District, a short walk from restaurants, beaches, shopping, spas, galleries, and local wine, film, mushroom, whale, and film festivals. Little River Airport and golf course are less than 5 miles.

LOCATED IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT OF MENDOCINO, unlike many so- called 'Mendocino' listings that are miles from town. The Tower offers well-appointed accommodations for 1 or 2 couples or a small group with pretty garden and ocean views. Stretch your travel budget by preparing some of your meals in the cheerful kitchen or walk to one of the fine local restaurants. The fenced garden creates a peaceful environment and accommodates bikes, kayaks, and children. Smoke-Free environment. No pets, please.

Lovely and relaxing

This was the break I needed. Comfortable home; complete kitchen; beautiful private garden; central location; ocean views; off-street parking; quiet, dark nights for good sleeping. I appreciated the small touches: ceramic plates in kitchen (instead of the scratched plastic so many vacation rentals have), a vase of fresh calla lilies on the kitchen table, fluffy warm quilts, etc.

Water Tower repeat stay was a pleasure

Second time at the Mendocino Water Tower and once again we enjoyed our stay. Beautiful accommodations and love the water views from the windows facing the Pacific. Enjoyed the restaurants in town & the well-equipped kitchen. Many nearby shops to walk to and opportunities not far away for hiking in state parks and Point Cabrillo lighthouse. Appreciate the responsiveness of the property manager.

Another great trip to Mendocino and the Water Tower

We’ve been coming here for years and it’s always great. The new owners are keeping up the house and garden well. The town is busy again with some new shops and many of the same restaurants. The cliff walks and forest hikes were delightful as always. Hopefully we’ll back same time next year!

Wonderful Water Tower

This is my fifth or sixth time here, there’s hardly any other place in Mendocino I would stay. Super quiet, wonderful hosts, great location, comfortable beds, gorgeous garden to sit in. Three blocks from everywhere in Mendocino Village, yet close to the headlands and ocean.

Fantastic quaint place to stay in a wonderful location

Wendy and Don's place was wonderful. It was nice, clean, had a fantastic view, and was minutes away from the Mendocino coast. They were very gracious hosts and had everything we needed for the stay! Definitely recommend staying here.

Great Getaway in Mendocino

This is a wonderful place to stay in Mendocino. The location is terrific - an easy walk to everything in town and right on the road to the headlands. The water tower is very comfortable and great fun, and the gardens are beautiful. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Comfortable stay at Mendocino Tower

This was such a wonderful, unusual place, a converted water tower with three levels of living space. Wonderful ocean views, beautiful garden outside the living room and close to restaurants and shops in Mendocino! The view from the roof is amazing. We really enjoyed our stay!

Mendocino Delight!

The water tower was great fun, was very well appointed and accommodated our daughter, my husband and I very comfortably. Weathering the epic storm over the weekend, Diane and Adrien took very good of care of us! I would definitely recommend this delight as THE place to stay in Mendocino.

"We had a great time here visiting with our friends from Wisconsin. They enjoyed the Tower as much as we did, coming home from our excursions each day. So comfy and in walking distance to great food, shop browsing and walks on the bluff.
