Mendocino Tranquility Meadows is a historic birder's dream. Originally owned by legendary conservationist Jacques Helfer a renowned author of 99 Birds of the Mendocino Coast and The Natural History of Mendocino. A 2 acre pond is at the heart of the property and is home to many bird species including ducks, osprey, warblers, swallows, hawks, and owls. And yet less than 2 miles north of the famous town of Mendocino, you feel like you are worlds away. Numerous beaches, Surfing, kayaking, bird watching, hiking, mountain biking, shopping, wine tasting….. and world class restaurants all minutes away!

Set off of Highway one, you can hear some highway noise outside the cottages but you cannot see the road or other houses. We have one security camera on the garage facing the driveway (facing away from the house) for everyone's safety. This property is close to amenities including grocery stores, pharmacies, shops, and medical clinics in both Mendocino (2 miles away) and Fort Bragg (7 miles away) yet is like staying in a private park. Nestled in the charming coastal town of Mendocino, this cozy 2-bedroom cottage offers the perfect escape for your next vacation

    Nicely remodeled cottage, private and comfortable. Had good interaction with the owner when we had a problem with the plug in heaters. Between Mendocino and Ft. Bragg so were able to drive to both. For the next renters, don't forget to bring your own bathing soap and shampoo. I assumed it was supplied as is usually the case, but it was written in the instructions which I did not read carefully.

    The house worked out fine for me and my 2 20-something sons although there were pretty much no frills - not even coffee. All we needed was a place to sleep before and after celebrating Thanksgiving with family in Caspar and so the house worked just fine.

    Great location in a natural setting close to Mendocino. Kitchen has everything a cook needs. The nature preserve is wonderful and literally a few steps from the cottage. We were able to heat the place with the small propane stove, but it might be unsafe for toddlers, right in the living area.

    We were so excited to stay at this cute cottage.However we were NOT able to stay there for the 2 nights we reserved because we were nit able to get in. We arrived a 8:00pm on April 30th and because we did not have any cell service we did not get instructions on how to enter. There was no emergency number to call, the porch lightswere out and we could not open the lock box. As it grew later we had to find a place to stay for the night. We went back to Mendocino and found as place for the night. In the morning we returned to take pictures and try to locate any way to make contact. Unsuccessful on all counts, we left. A huge waste of money, cleaning deposit ( as no one stayed there) and disappointment !

    Our stay at the Seaglass cottage was nothing short of magical! It is perfectly located where you are tucked away in the trees, and yet it's just a short drive into town or to the ocean! We loved the trails near the cottage and sipping our morning coffee with the dew of the day. We would recommend staying here to anyone who wanted a peaceful getaway where you can bathe in the forest, find all the mushrooms, and watch the waves crash.

    Seaglass had everything we needed for a quiet and restful break. The cottage more than met our needs and the grounds were outstanding. Peter was a great host and very responsive to our requests, responding within a few minutes when we needed something. Would definitely love to come again!
