Spectacular Oceanfront on the Mendocino Coast

SEA & RIVER HOUSE is an attractive, welcoming home sitting 120 feet above the ocean and one mile from the Navarro River inlet. We are located 130 miles north of San Francisco and 10 miles south of Mendocino and close to Anderson Valley's many wineries. Come see us!

To the south of the house is a view of magical Brokeback Cove and beyond to the Point Arena lighthouse which flashes at night. North a mile, where the Navarro River (known for steelhead fishing) meets the ocean, is an extensive sand beach to explore and throw a frisbee or build a driftwood fort. Swimming "holes" ( a favorite of our kids) can be found at several points along the Navarro River in the redwood forest.

The house offers four bedrooms (2 queen beds, one full, 2 twins ), a game room with futon, wood burning stove fireplace and outside chiminea, hot tub, two bathrooms,, and expansive decks on two levels. Six people are easily accomodated. It affords wonderful space for people to gather or to separate and find a quiet spot to read or watch hummingbirds come to a feeder. Kids of all ages can congregate in the lower level game room to play foosball, throw darts or watch a movie on the wall mounted large screen TV. Moving outside to the lower level deck, they can soak in the large hot tub, roast marshmallows in the chiminea or sit watching the hypnotic spinning of a copper windmill set in the ocean side yard. Two bedrooms and the game room have streaming (Netflix and Amazon Prime and local TV) TV plus a stock of movie dvds At night the star display is amazing for those from light polluted cities.

Living Areas: The interior of the upper level of the house is redwood.. The upper level includes the dining room. living room, kitchen, three bedrooms (one a "bunk room") and full bath. The lower level, reached by a stunning spiral staircase, contains the game room and 4th bedroom and 2nd bathroom. Most people receive cell phone service.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a new gas stove, new set of pots and pans, a good stock of cooking utensils, and Corelle dishware. On the upper deck is a large Weber for outside grilling. The kitchen sink back splash is glass tiled and the view out the kitchen door is to the ocean. Even dish washing gets better.

The living room has a couch and two chairs with reading lamps and centers around the wood burning fireplace. A small bench doubles as a coffee table or added seating, There is a small but mighty sound system. A ceiling fan cools the room at the end of warm days

The dining area over looks the cove and seats six at an oval table. It is also a great spot to play board games. There is additional outdoor dining (except in winter months) for 4 at an outdoor table set on the upper deck. The lower deck has a 2 person bistro table where you can sip coffee or wine or have a private dinner for two. Table is stored in winter.

Bedrooms: Every queen or double bed is covered with a featherbed or foam topper and then a beautiful quilt. The upper level master bedroom has a ceiling fan. The lower bedroom boasts a canopy bed and vintage oil seascape paintings. Sliding doors open to the lower deck with large flower planters, hot tub etc. Bookcases in each room offer good reads for all tastes. Games are stocked in the "bunk room."

Grounds: In the back (Hwy. 1 side) of the house is a rough picnic table and view of the mountains. In the front (ocean side) is an expanse of ice plant which blooms in bright colors which is edged by an herb garden for cooks. There is a lot of rosemary but also thyme, sage, and other favorite culinary herbs in a round planter at the end of the lower deck. Beyond the herb plantings is a gate to the cliff promontory with what Pete calls "lover's bench." Great place for photos. A small shore pine hangs off the cliff. The beach at Navarro River can be reached by walking or driving.

Perfect!
Perfect place for a relaxing sibling get together. Just enough space with semi open floor plan making for the perfect place to sit, reminisce, tell stories, eat meals and enjoy each other’s company. Can’t beat the view! Easy location to quietly enjoy the space and short drive to other places. Would return in a heartbeat!

Perfect for our family!
The Sea & River House was perfect for our recent spring break family vacation to the Mendocino coast. The views from this house are simply amazing! We even saw whale activity one morning. The owner is friendly and responsive. The house was very clean, well stocked, and has a lot of thoughtful little touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

Good and outstanding views
We had an amazing stay at the Sea and River House for the weekend! We loved the home decor and game room for having some quality family time. The only thing we feel could have made our experience even better was a laundry room, but other than we might just come back soon.

Gorgeous spot for a friends' getaway
When I travel with a group, I want the place we stay to be as much of the appeal as the activities we do, and this rental absolutely fit the bill. The panoramic view of the Pacific made even the quiet moments drinking coffee in the morning feel grand and special. We kayaked the Albion River, rode railbikes out of Fort Bragg, and explored Navarro Beach, never having to drive more than 30 min once we were there. Thanks to our hosts for maintaining such a beautiful spot!

We loved the property. The hosts were very responsive and clearly care about their property. There were a few minor issues, and they were very concerned and addressed them right away. The kitchen is very well stocked, which is always a pleasant surprise. The view is sensational.

Four of us go on a yearly retreat and selected to stay in Albion this year. The location was wonderful and as described on the posting. The kitchen was in great shape and we had everything we needed for cooking our meals, the 4 bedrooms were great for us, we did not have to double up! The property was clean and communication with Peter was great, even though they were out of the country. I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to return.

Heaven on earth
Amazing spot, just my husband and I. We loved the unique touches inside, obviously artists who decorated/designed it. The garden area is sweet and being able to go right to the cliffside is fabulous. There is a fox, quail and a hummingbird that hovered 1 ft from me, never been that close to one. So peaceful and serene. So beautiful. The hot tub was great, though it got windy and the water would spray up so the chlorine would get in our eyes. the Ms. PacMan shown in the picture isn't there, we were looking forward to playing it, but we were so occupied so it didn't matter. Would definitely stay again.
