Ocean Views Mendocino Beach House Path directly to the Beach!

This 1880's home is large and comfortable. Although home is rustic and a bit funky, (Over 145 years old!) beds are all new and very comfortable, and it the ONLY home in Mendocino with an extra large yard and a path directly to the beach!

Great for a couples or a family. Everything is within walking distance, including coffee, restaurants, ice cream, two beaches, whale watching, live theater, art studio, shops and site seeing.

For that true needed relaxation the Mendocino beach house is the place. Just watch the waves from your deck as you drink some local wine, have a picnic lunch, or take a walk down the special beach path and explore the caves and look for shells and sea glass. Great for 2 weeks or more!

Also great place to get some work done. Wireless internet throughout. Printer, paper, desk, larger screen and hookups all available.

By the way Cinderella really did live here!

My sisters and I stayed here for 4 nights celebrating 2 birthdays. The house was perfect- so comfortable and the setting is glorious- the beach is a short walk from the property and is so beautiful. We also enjoyed walking along the bluff and exploring the town. We will be back for sure!!!

Old time Mendocino
I felt at home the minute I walked in. This is one of the early Mendocino houses and you feel it. It has character and plenty of comfortable places to sit and read or gather - inside and outside. I love the path to the beach which I walked early in the morning and at sunset. I hope I can come back one day for a longer period.

A great find
This place stands out as a truly exceptional find, both the house and the large back yard have a lot of character and charm. Every corner seems to hold a surprise, with an eclectic array of artwork adorning the walls and outdoor spaces. It’s also great that the beach is just a 5-minute walk down your own private path. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and am already planning my return visit. For those seeking a vacation rental with character, tranquility, and easy beach access, I highly recommend this.

Relaxing vacation!
We enjoyed a very relaxing vacation at this charming house by the beach. The house was comfortable, with all the amenities one could ask for to ensure a pleasant stay. The backyard is beautiful and offers a serene spot to enjoy morning coffee. The beach is only a 10 minute walk, with a trail with stairs at the top. The bottom of the trail could use some trimming of the bushes, as they were very overgrown. The house is close to shops and restaurants. Overall, it is a perfect blend of comfort and convenience.

Perfect location and great vibes
We enjoyed a multi-day working vacation in this delightful, well-situated home. The historic home is well cared for and clean. Its location above a beach (within walking distance) and in Mendocino village can't be beat. We loved the beach, the headlands, and exploring the village plus other nearby attractions. Don't miss Santosha Yoga/Massage, either! Highly recommended.

Incredible
The house was comfortable and has lots of character. Such a great place for lounging and exploring. The yard offered intrigue and exploring. The private trail down to the beach was convenient. Communication with the host was the best I have experienced in this rental venue. Located right on the edge of town made access to shops, restaurants, coffee/cafe, galleries etc. easy.

Quaint Cinderella Cottage
Loved this property, it is not the fanciest or biggest house but it is very quaint and comfortable. Kitchen was probably the best stocked kitchen with every appliance you could ever need. Love the path to the beach and would definitely stay here again. If I had one complaint it would be the upstairs bedroom to the right would benefit from a memory foam topper as bed is very very firm but all in all a great house.

This lovely home is perfectly located to allow you to walk everywhere in Mendocino. The home is cozy and well equipped. The magical private backyard holds many delights as well as a path that takes you down to the beach. A home that will call me back for many more visits.

Lovely Mendo Home
Four of us (two couples) stayed at the Cinderella House for three nights in mid July. There are many things to love about this home: —The location is fabulous: in Mendocino Village proper and within an easy walk to the many fine restaurants and shops, as well as the trail along the ocean bluffs. —The house itself is very clean, well equipped and quite comfortable. The beds are really nice and there is plenty of comfy seating in the living area. Please note: this is an older home that has been very nicely refurbished, but does not offer luxurious bathrooms or a gourmet kitchen. Everything you need for a great stay has been provided, however. —The property itself must be seen to be believed. The view is marvelous and there is a trail to the beautiful beach below. There are many enchanting and whimsical surprises throughout the garden which will delight guests of any age. We look forward to another, longer stay as soon as we can find our way back to Mendocino. We highly recommend this home.

My only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer. The house was quaint and so cute. My granddaughter and I loved the path to the ocean and all of the creative yard art. Location was perfect. We walked all over Mendocino and listened to the music festival in the evenings. Thank you for the wine! It was a memorable trip!

Awesome stay!
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at the Cinderella House and had a magical experience. We had so much fun exploring the property; surprises around every corner. The location can't be beat. We could walk everywhere. Our bed was super comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed dinner at La Luna Italian restaurant and watching the Warriors game at Pattersons. Looking forward to going back one of these days!
