Great place to stay in Mendocino!

The pictures that you see on vrbo I thought of the inside made the house look kinda dark and run down. But it’s not it was so bright and clean and great ocean view. This place will not disappoint you . Oh and plenty of pots and pans and utensils for cooking. We had a great time !

Amazing!!!

The specific details upon entering the home to congratulate us on a 15 year anniversary were great. So sweet. View was amazing! Cleanliness was amazing! Staff was great! The only thing that was old school was that you have to drive to a separate location to pick up the keys and drop them off. But it’s fine. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic Family Vacation!

We had a wonderful time staying at Sea Garden! Working with the property management was easy and convenient - all the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. The location of the property was amazing - beautiful views and a short walk to the beach. The house itself was perfect. Amazing windows and views of the ocean from every room. Very clean and had everything we needed for our holiday. There were some very sweet touches for us when we arrived including candies and some brandy! Also great amenities for the dog, including towels (it was rainy while we were there), bowls, dog bags, treats, and a toy! Thank you for sharing your home with us. We had a wonderful holiday!

Great house In wonderful location

Loved the house — fantastic primary suite with view of the coastline and ocean. The other 3 bedrooms are pretty small, especially for three couples. But everything was super comfortable. The kitchen and great room was spacious and well laid out. Fun for hanging out. Nice to have a hot tub as well. My only true complaint is the antiquated check in process. I’m now used to the typical simplicity of other house rental check ins. Having to deal with a in-town rental office (circa 1998) was annoying but not a deal killer. I’d definitely stay there again!

Sea Garden Scores an A+

Sea Garden was all that we expected and more! Our family had a fantastic time relaxing, and enjoying each other in a beautiful setting without any interruptions from the outside world. Being able to walk right out to the cliff from the back door was wonderful...as was hearing the sea lions bark! That was exactly what we were seeking! We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in June, and our sons wanted to give us a party. We suggested a family escape instead, and they agreed with us. The weather was beautiful - cool, but sunny! All of us loved that since the Bay Area was suffering from high temps! Of course, we ate our way through the week, but we need to go back to get more of Cowlick’s ice cream! Our granddaughters absolutely loved that! The Botanical Gardens were fabulous with so many dahlias in bloom. I’m sure our granddaughter took a picture of almost every single bloom! Even I got down to the Sea Glass Beach without breaking a leg, or embarrassing myself. We got some great pictures at the tide pools too! Then there was the evening fun as we played board games until way past my bedtime! Talk about laughter…. I’m sure all of us will remember this vacation! Thanks to you and your generosity to rent your home away from home! We all felt so comfortable, and loved it!

Quiet

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived at 5:30pm so the Office was closed but I was able to get the key from the code they emailed. Drove through Mendocino to get some food, then off to find the house. The house was neatly situated on the corner with views that the neighbors wont let you get close to. So bring binoculars if you want to see the ocean from the deck or drive north to Caspar Beach or South to Point Cabrillo because the neighbors were not friendly with people taking pics.Day 2 I discovered that there were ants downstairs on almost everything, but since it was only a few days I wasn't too concerned. The upstairs bathroom wasn't previously cleaned, but since there were only two of us, it didn't bother me because the main bedroom was nice and ready to go.It was abalone season so in the mornings there were a lot of traffic near beach access points. It surprised me since the neighbors were good at telling me to go back in the house when I tried to take photos. Overall I had a nice time and spent most of our time at Fort Bragg beaches. We had a BBQ for my birthday on an evening and a relative drove up from Sea Ranch, another from Westport, and a Native American lesbian couple from Willits which made the neighbors uncomfortable.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a perfect home for a family getaway. We had a sibling reunion here; the house slept all 7 of us comfortably. The kitchen is very well equipped; the dining area was our favorite place to share meals and play games. The house is very close to both Mendocino and Fort Bragg, and the location is beautiful. We saw deer everyday, and it's only a short walk to the Pt. Cabrillo lighthouse.

Caspar Bluffs & Beach Paradise

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: What a beautiful home on the bluffs of Caspar. Upon arrival there was a nice birthday wish for my wife in the form of scotch and more important to her was a box of bowls, toys and bags for our puppy which was even more important to her. The home has ocean views from all rooms with a very nice wood burning stove in the family room. There were only two of us but I would say the house sleeps 6 comfortably and maybe up to 8 max. The only downer was we were going to get in the hot tub on the last day and there was no way to turn the jets on so we skipped it. Maybe user error but the location in Caspar South right between Mendocino and Ft Bragg was perfect. Introduced our 6 month old pup to deer and many birds. Neighbors were super cool and makes me want to buy a place there.

Wet winter weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cb property was as described on line, excellent location and quiet neighborhood. Very cozy downstairs with open floor plan. Unfortunately none of the upstairs heating units worked so we were quite cold the first night until the heat from downstairs eventually made its way to the second floor. DVD player was missing controls. I would rent again if I could be reassured the upstairs heating units worked.

Perfect!

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: We spent a weekend at this property with our friends for a birthday get together. The house sits on the ocean cliffs of South Caspar community. Quiet location, wildlife right outside the window, beautiful views of the ocean from all rooms, close to the lighthouse, multiple outdoor sitting areas. The garden is relaxing. Same with the hot tub on the patio. Spacious interiors, very clean, beautiful furnishing and decoration of the rooms. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need and more. There were small personal touches - flowers, liquor, a happy birthday note - that welcomed us into the house. We had a wonderful, unforgettable time and would return for a longer weekend in the future. It was a perfect stay! Better than expected and better than pictured.

Quarter mile away from Caspar Beach, 8 minutes away from main street Mendocino. Pet friendly + hot tub and a deck on the second floor were massive cherries on the top.

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: Having stayed at dozens of rentals in the area, this has been in the top few. From pictures you can tell that it's going to be a nice spot, and that is all true. I felt the rental company went above and beyond to ensure that the house was clean and had sweet little touches added in too (fresh flowers, dog treat, folded towels). All of this was noticed and made us feel very welcome! I will prioritize staying with this company again.

Really nice... but could be nicer?

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed this rental. The master bedroom is huge compared to the other 3. A factor of at least 2. Took a day to learn all of the light switches... lots of them and not always obvious where some lights were being controlled.And could use some serious minor mtx... one of the upstairs decks was in pretty bad shape and we never were able to lock the doors other than the front one. Not a worry really but seemed kind of odd.The one thing really needed however is a refrigerator upgrade. The only place I've rented without an ice maker. At the very least the housekeepers should have filled the ice cube trays. Upon arrival, we had no ice until the second day!The other odd thing; if all the bedrooms were occupied (as was our case, minus 1) you have 8 people... but everything seems designed for 6. Only 6 places at dining table, 6 glass cups, 6 plates, 6 seats in TV room, etc. We were constantly moving chairs from one room to another.

Great house for comfortable ocean viewing!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Clean, nothing falling apart, everything we needed. I have been in more updated rentals in this neighborhood, but the views can’t be beat! We even saw whales while sitting on the porch. I loved that every room had an opening window or door and would see the ocean. Would ask that the property managers do some yard work as the lawn sitting area was completely over grown and we could not enjoy it, but you can’t see the ocean from there anyways so with our size group we just sat on the decks and enjoyed the waves and seals barking.
