Unit wasn’t cleaned when we arrived at 4pm. Couldn’t get timely response from owner. Booked another accommodation and were charged anyway
The view is amazing and the location is very convenient. I enjoyed my stay but a few things to note...no microwave, furniture while fully functional is on the worn side. Property manager was helpful and friendly when I could reach her but not the easiest to reach. The TV wasn’t working when I was there and the PM did try to get it resolved with Dish. There is so much to do outdoors this wasn’t a major issue.
The view is outstanding. Great location. Nice space.
Yes the view is wonderful BUT The accommodations are run down and dirty. Weird items just randomly stuffed into places. Like it’s someone’s home on a regular basis. The windows have black mold all over them and dirt. The dishwasher wasn’t working . The windows don’t open because there rotten. Big open space and you have. Queen Murphy bed?!?! WHY This place needs a serious facelift. I know it’s not cheap or easy to remodel, especially in that area. But do A deep clean , some fresh paint, and updated the furniture. That would almost make it worth the $$$ , with those small improvements. But I wouldn’t recommend or stay again! It’s WAY overpriced for what you get, RUNDOWN and DIRTY!
We weren't able to stay as the key wasn't where the VRBO directions said it was and we couldn't contact the owner. We arrived to find the business where the key was supposed to be was not in business any longer. I checked with an adjacent business hoping the key might be there, but no. My wife tried for over an hour to reach the owner through VRBO chat with no response. We tried to call the owners phone several times with no answer other than a notice the mailbox was full. After driving for more than 4 hours we needed to find another place to stay. The owner responded to the VRBO chat the next morning - October 9, with an apology and an offer for a full refund, which we happily accepted. We are still waiting for the refund with no response to 2 further VRBO chat messages from us requesting informaition. And an additional attempt at a phone call - still no answer and a full mailbox. We have stayed at this property before with no issues which makes this experience even more disappointing.
We had coffee on the deck watching the waves and storms roll through. Right in the heart of Mendocino, you can walk the entire town from the front door. Really fun to see the place in the opening credits of Murder, She Wrote! Fantastic stay, definitely will be back!
Nostalgic
We loved staying here, the relaxing vibe was just what we needed! Thank you again Deb!
We had a great time and it’s definitely a do over ?
Great location right on Main Street, facing the ocean and adjoining the headlands park with great walking paths and spectacular wild flowers. The place is a bit run down. There’s a sign saying the dishwasher is broken. There’s a sign saying the windows can’t be opened because they are falling apart. The linoleum floor is clean, but very badly marked.
Very nice
booked a week in advance. property owner ignored us for 5 days (sent her multiple messages in the week leading up to our vacation and she ignored them all). when the day of our vacation comes, she cancels our reservation 3 hours before check in (when we’re already in mendocino) with no warning. her first communication with us was telling us she was cancelling. listen to the reviews, don’t book this place. plenty of cheaper and more reliable places to stay at in the area
Awful experience and I didn’t stay for more than 30 minutes. Upon arrival in Mendocino on New Years Eve 2022. Get to rental and bam. Hits us right in the face.. looks like someone is living here. Dirty everything. Bed unmade, towels dirty. Bathroom filthy. Trash, dishes, everything. Shocked we call host… no answer. Robot voicemail. leave a message. Go to VRBO account. Leave a message. No response. Not having anywhere to go and losing daylight we began to clean. ? so gross! Get to the bathroom and give up, and rent in a town away. Called Deborah if that is her name, and verbally canceled. Guess Debo didn’t get the message cuz VRBO says we stayed in that disgusting place. Worst of all, I left recouping the bill to credit card company because it was so egregious/ cut and dry to me. Can’t cancel if you can’t contact host. credit card co shoots it back to me to recoup from a scam artist that has no address and a phone number that never answers or calls back in Hawaii. Worst experience in short term rental. I’m out $740. Read the reviews people pass up this jerk and her scam.
This place was double booked when we arrived. Ultimately Deb helped us find another spot on Main Street which was appreciated but it cost an extra $600 bucks. Not cool!
Shabby, not very clean, no Internet or television working, and no manager available (Deborah did not return our call for assistance). Tricky to find because the directions were outdated and told us to look for a store that no longer exists in order to find the apartment above it. The views and central location were good, however.
Location/view was the only nice thing my husband and I can say about this place. Checkin date on May 12th. I reviewed the checkin instructions early in the day and noticed that the instructions ask you to call the property owners if you are getting there after 5:30. I called and left a message, as well as emailing. We arrived after driving 3 hrs with still no call or response as to how to get in the studio. Come to find out the key was under a shell on the deck ----- this was NOT in the instuctions and how were we to find that in the dark. We had to find alternative lodging for the night. We called VRBO and instructed to drive over to the property and call VRBO back in order to take next steps. We did and they too tried to contact the owners with no success. We were offered a $100 inconvenience fee from VRBO. We finally found the key under the shell to get in. We were met with A DIRTY BED and DIRTY/SOMEWHAT WET towels in the bathroom. That is disgusting during any time but even more so during this pandemic!! We were so blown away. SO disappointing that the owners have still NOT responded or contacted me about the situation. We had to go by Clorox wipes, change the bed and things we should never have had to do in a rental. All and all, not a good rental. Location/view was beautiful but what we went through really tainted the whole experience. Wouldn't recommend!
We were hoping for a least the cleaning fee credited back , but no reply. We booked the same place weekend before but owner cancelled on us , as it was double booked through another site. Then we booked again but was sick and couldn’t go. We love Mendocino , but will not book this place again.
