Great house on an amazing coast
The location and views are certainly the standouts for this property. While it was occasionally socked in with fog, most of the time we had at least partial visibility of Whitesboro Cove and the coast on the opposite side, but it was always a different view. I woke up one night at 3 am and it was completely clear with the lights from the Ledger House reflecting on the water below. The house seems to be perfectly preserved from the 70s, and is clean and well-appointed (except for lacking a broom) with modern appliances. Lots of room with 3 beds for my 2 kids to spread out. The hot tub with the ocean view was great, though the filter didn't seem to be working/running great. Lots of firewood and the big fireplace was easy to light and cozied up the house on colder nights. The location was great, five minutes from a small grocery that has all the basics and two nice restaurants, and a short drive to Mendocino that has everything. The really great part was that in either direction there are state parks everywhere with beach/tidepool access on the coast an often hiking trails in redwoods inland. I wish there was more access to the coast within the subdivision, but its all private so can't be helped (though vacant lots provided new views of the coast). Elk is 20~ mins south and has a great beach, cafes, and a cash only bar open on weekends that is something to experience. We had a great 4-night stay and wish we'd spent less time in SF and more here.
