Whale Song

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Share an unforgettable getaway at this custom-built, modern Mendocino vacation rental. Aptly dubbed Whale Song, this remarkable home overlooks the ocean. It even has a private, oceanfront hot tub.

Perched on a lush hillside, this unique Northern California Coast lodge is close to area attractions. Just five miles away is Russian Gulch State Park for a scenic hike to a 36-foot high waterfall. The Devil's Punch Bowl, a large collapsed sea cave with churning water, is nearby too. Bike to Pount Cabrillo Lighthouse and Caspar Beach - itā€™s all close to home.

At the rental, youā€™ll have everything you need to relax as you wish. Whip up a delightful meal in the fully stocked kitchen then curl up by the fireplace. Or, stay up and watch TV while everyone else goes to bed.

In the master bedrooms, youā€™ll have a spacious king-size bed. In the second bedroom is a queen-sized bed, and in the third bedroom a twin. Every bedroom has an ocean view and access to a private deck!

After a day hiking among the breathtaking coastal vistas of Mendocino, make sure to rejuvenate in the hot tub. While thatā€™s going on, toss your clothes in the private washer and dryer. Itā€™s all about a carefree vacation.

With its magnificent ocean views, stained glass, and tasteful furnishings there is something for everyone at this beautiful Northern California Coast vacation rental.

The neighborhood, house and property are gorgeous! Not to mention the view of the ocean from the hot tub!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was very relaxing and peaceful listening to the waves crashing on the coastline. Sunset views are also incredible.Extremely romantic location for a getaway with your significant other!We are already thinking of a return trip.The garage is accessible, however you cannot park a car in there, which I would like to have done.I would definitely recommend!

Great Location and Amazing View
Loved our stay! It was quiet and relaxing and the view was amazing!! Totally not the owners fault but there was a skunk that stalked us the entire stay. Just something that happens in nature but loved everything else about our stay.

Great view
Pros: The view was awesome. Very quiet neighborhood. Roomy. Enjoyed our stay. Cons: maybe get a Polyethylene cutting board for meat, sheet pan, a sliding screen for the room upstairs and downstairs. Fix the other sliding screen upstairs, not have so much soap or chemicals in hot tub. It looked like Dawn dish soap with all the bubbles , fix two of the jets. Take the mold off the shower curtain downstairs, a glass plate for inside the microwave, fix the living room 2 windows so you can see out of them. We killed 2 termites. šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«. And that over 400. Feeā€¦.for I donā€™t know what.

Great location!
The views from the house are beautiful but there are only 2 outdoor plastic chairs on the deck that really need to be replaced and the door going out to the deck wonā€™t stay closed unless you lock it. The house itself was nice but needs some attentionā€¦kitchen faucet needs to be fixed and there is a leak in the downstairs bathroom. Also the shower head in the upstairs bathroom should be replaced because itā€™s corroded. With just a few minor repairs Whale Song would be a 5 star house!

Only negative to report is the house smelled a bit musty. The house is beautiful, and the proximity to Russian gulch State Park, and other view points/parks is great. 10 min north of Mendocino, 10mins south of fort bragg. Highly recommend!

Lovely Coastal Retreat
Wonderful cozy quiet stay, amazing views from every room, clean, comfortable, well-chlorinated hot tub with views. Was on crutches so appreciate that everything on first floor was accessible. Great location to visit light house and Russian Gulch. Downside Checkout at 10am with a family was a rush.

Sweet house, beautiful spot!
We had a wonderful stay. The house is comfortable and well- equipped. The interior was spotless when we arrived. We were invited to check in early which was a nice bonus. Check in and check out were super easy. Another plus for us was the outdoor outlet where we could plug in our car (not a charger unit - just a plug - we travel with a charger). The management company didn't seem to know that it was there, so it was another nice surprise when we arrived. Eating out on the deck overlooking the ocean was wonderful. Great stay overall - we hope to return!

Great
The home was everything we wanted and more than we expected! Clean, inviting and comfortable with a beautiful view. It had a friendly fox that we saw often. Even though we didnā€™t use the hot tub ( forgot our suits) it was clean and warm when I checked it out. We didnā€™t see any whales but we heard them early in the morning, it was too foggy to see them. We will definitely be back !

Private Retreat with Beautiful Ocean Views
This home is wonderfully situated between the towns of Mendocino and Fort Bragg. It is a short walk to Russian Gulch State Park and the beautiful Point Carrillo Lighthouse park. The home is perfect for younger, able-footed individualsā€¦ we traveled with three people in their 80ā€™s, and found some issues. The staircase to the second floor bedrooms is very steep with narrow, thin steps, and the water can get VERY hot - with some valves that were difficult to figure out. That being said, the home was large, comfortable and affordable. The kitchen was very well stocked and the beds were comfortable. While not directly on the oceanfront, each bedroom and the dining area offered lovely, expansive views of the gorgeous Pacific Ocean.

Great location, notable kitchen issues
The location, views, hot tub, and decor were incredible! There were too many scraped up teflon pans in the kitchen (likely because management provided a metal spatula), but luckily we found 2 that still worked. Can opener barely worked, and there were 20+ ants per day despite us keeping everything in the fridge and keeping the counters clean. The beds were also very firm. Biggest 3 changes I would encourage management to make are 1)vinegar cleaning spray available to guests to minimize ants 2)go through cookware and remove unusable/incompatible items 3) buy a mattress topper for at least one of the beds. Would recommend to anyone with scoliosis or who doesn't want to cook in the meantime. 1 more tip unrelated to the place! Make sure you drive a bit (10 mins) for gas, otherwise you'll pay way too much

Great House -- Tough Driveway
The house was great and had stunning views. The kitchen had everything we needed and was well stocked. The only downside to the place is the steep driveway and not being able to park flat in the cul-de-sac. It rained most of the time that we were there, and trying to back out of the very steep driveway on wet ground was very very difficult. I don't think we would ever rent this place again because of the parking situation. I think if you have a newer car or SUV, then it might be doable (our car is a 2015 Prius).

This place needs a lot of love
The house was infested with ants. Upstairs, downstairs, in the carpet, in our beds and the kitchen was a hot mess. It rained and the rain came in the house through the windows. Some of the windows were fogged over. We lost power and the flash lights were all dead. The toilet leaked on the floor

Overpriced, spiders and needs a renovation
This house seemed like a good deal but it is in need of some sprucing. I could have gotten past out dated decor, lack of towels for the hot tub and a kitchen missing key items but it was clear it had not been cleaned. Not only were there over a dozen spiders i killed, it was covered with cobwebs. I am not sure anyone had been there or cleaned in weeks. Definitely would not rent again.
