Ocean View 'Desire' Albion Mendocino Home

Accommodations: House, 1 Bedroom + 1 Bath (Sleeps 2) .
Thank you for your interest in staying with us!

This very private, romantic, ocean view and cliffside Mendocino cottage is a spacious split-level set as close to the ocean as possible so as to take full advantage of the dramatic setting. The soothing sounds of the ocean waves rolling in and crashing against the rocks below will make you feel like you are on your own private island.
This gem of a house has romantic, private, and truly million dollar expansive views of the ocean from every room. The view through the French doors is truly breathtaking. A wrought iron spiral staircase ascends to the upstairs oversized King bed. The fireplace also has an amazing view of the ocean. The night time sky reveals a starry sky unpolluted by city lights. The kitchen is fully functional with pots and pans, gas stove & oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. We also have an assortment of spices, but please feel free to bring whatever you need. We also have a washing machine and dryer for use.
This home is close driving distance to the village of Mendocino, Fort Bragg, Point Arena as well as the renowned Anderson Valley wine country.

This, one of a kind house is an ideal getaway for a honeymoon, anniversary, or that much needed and deserved time off. You will understand why guests call this home 'Desire' and why they all tell us they will be back next year!

Please do not hesitate to contact the owner with ANY questions regarding the house before making a reservation. Thank you!

Beautiful Getaway
The view from the house is stunning- both during the day and at night for sunset and stargazing. The hot tub was very enjoyable, the kitchen was very nice and open, the shower was great, and the bed was very comfortable. It was a perfect stay.

Location was amazing! Even though it rained most of the time I was there it was such a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the rain. And when I could get out on the deck I did. The view was incredible and the place had everything I needed.

This is exactly what you're looking for in a small getaway cabin. The whole space is warm and is engulfed by the ocean view. Everything is exactly as nice as it is shown and I will be returning likely this winter to fully embrace the cabin life
