Description from owner

Description

You will love staying at this serene beach house with spectacular views of the ocean, amazing sunsets, a fully-equipped kitchen -- including a stainless steel convection range, refrigerator & microwave -- and access to a gated private beach with level parking!

We are experienced hosts. I'll happily provide multiple reviews from recent guests with their contact information so you can be sure what you're getting.

Located on the beautiful Northern California coast between the historic town of Mendocino (30 miles/48 km North) and the artist community of Gualala (20 miles/32 km South), this extraordinary 2-bath, 3-bedroom retreat -- all on one level – allows you to experience incredible Pacific Ocean views from virtually every room. See Point Arena Light House, open meadows filled with wildlife, and magical sunsets. Designed by a well-known artist, the home features multiple pieces of his original artwork below cathedral ceilings.

Bring food and drink to create a special recipe in the well-equipped kitchen which features new appliances, including a refrigerator, microwave, and range with a convection oven. Enjoy a meal in the adjoining dining area with an ocean view.

The master and second bedrooms are in separate wings of the house, ensuring privacy whenever you want it. The master opens to a deck with ocean views, has a Cal king bed, a reading area, and ample closet space. The expansive master bath offers a huge two-person all tile shower. A second bedroom has ocean views, a king bed, many shelves of books, and a large closet. The second bathroom is next door and features a deep infinity tub/shower with fantastic ocean views.

A third bedroom/office has a queen futon, a desk & printer, and a full wall of closet space.

We welcome children, but the home is not childproofed and some original artwork features tasteful female nudes.

The large, comfortable living room overlooks the ocean, has mid-century modern furniture, a wood-burning fireplace, board games, and CD/DVD player. There is no standard television service but we do offer Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO, and Amazon Prime TV. You're welcome to bring your own DVDs or select from our library.

Take an easy drive up the coast to Mendocino and Fort Bragg or south to the Point Arena light house. Enjoy the sounds of breaking waves, see migrating whales, walk or drive to the private 8-mile beach or Pomo Lake, visit Anderson Valley wineries, sample fare at remarkable restaurants & bakeries. Or do nothing...just relax.

Forget something? No worries! A well-stocked grocery store is located in Manchester, 4 miles/6.5 km south. Want a little excitement? Visit the casino/restaurant, tour the lighthouse, or take in a movie in the town of Point Arena, 8 miles/13 km south.

Come visit, we'd love to hear from you!

A few notes:

Guests have access to all areas of the house, deck, and garage with the exception of two locked storage areas.
