The views were incredible and the beds were comfy. We enjoyed cooking in and playing board games and relaxing in the hot tub. The ants were no joke, though, and while we did our best to keep them at bay they were pretty persistent. We'd stay again because the location was so fantastic and it is great for families.
We loved our stay here. The check in / check out process was easy. The home was clean, comfortable, and spacious for our group of 5 friends. The kitchen was well equipped for group meals. The walk to the beach that you can see from the deck was so lovely and easy to do. The views from the hot tub are so peaceful. I would absolutely love to stay here again!
Wonderful property, could not ask for a better ocean view. Plenty of space for everyone and the kids really liked the loft bedroom. The property felt genuine and comfy to us. We would definitely love to stay here again.
This was the 2nd time my family and I have rented and enjoyed our stay at this lovely house. It’s not the fanciest of houses in the area and some parts of it are a little dated, but honestly that’s how we prefer it. If it was updated and remodeled we probably wouldn’t be able to afford to rent it and enjoy our time together. Perfect for several adults/couples. Hoping to rent again in the future!
The house was perfect for eight people with plenty of space for meals and games. The house has spectacular views from the deck and lots of windows for great vfrom the house.We would definitely stay again.
My family stayed here for a wedding in the town just north of it in Elk. The home is beautiful (if a little dated) and met all our needs. There is a great view and owner is very helpful and provided instructions for everything. They even had a game closet that came in handy when the cousins got bored.
This is a wonderful property, perfect for a family vacation. Large common area to relax in, great hot tub, wonderful beach access, and close to the Redwoods. Wish I was able to stay another week and enjoy watching the waves, seals, and sunsets on Irish Beach!
We had a great time at our girls weekend in Manchester. We had a total of 11 with enough space for all. Easy check-in and great location. Loved the deck, hot tub and the rain :)
What a wonderful house! We had three families and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. The loft is great for kids. Beautiful views all around, we will definitely be back.
Spacious comfort, great views of ocean and Goat Rock. Full of books and comforts - everything you need. Groceries/Ace Hardware 4 miles south in Manchester. Visits from local deer and birds. Flowers and flowering bushes cover the yard. Convenient access to garage. Hot tub and awesome deck. Yes! We will come back here again! Loved it!!
The women of our family had a wonderful time staying at this location. The upstairs loft beds were great as well as the circle of recliners in the Livingroom so comfortable. The hot tub watching the beach sunsets were stunning. Highly recommend this property for a great weekend retreat! 🎉🎉🎉

Ants galore
Our family holiday was lovely excepting the invasion of sugar ants. I’d strongly recommend confirming they are gone before booking. Otherwise, a comfortable home.
Absolutely wonderful. The house was immediately inviting. We commented on feeling like we had arrived at grandma's house. Everything we needed was there for cooking and baking. The views are spectacular. Could not have enjoyed it more.

About the host
Hosted by Diane Heinzer
Jon & Diane built their home in 1971 when their boys were 10 and 13. With 2 bedrooms, one bath and a loft, they entertained their friends and friends of kids through college. But when grand kids came along, they expanded it to accommodate three couples , 2 .5 bathrooms and 5 twins in the loft. They have lived at Irish Beach longer than in any other home. They love sharing it with others, some of whom have been renting since they were children, and now have children of their own.
Why they chose this property
They bought the lot in the fog, but knew the 6 miles of beach was fabulous, and the gated entry to the beach road would keep it pristine as it has. Amazed to see the lighthouse when they returned a month later, the beauty of the setting captured them and still holds them here.
What makes this property unique
Each day is unique, living close to nature and with all the wildlife, changing sea and sky and beach, always different and the stars at night putting everything in perspective. The fabulous restaurants and wineries and artists and shops and scenic Hwy 1 help too.
