Come visit, we'd love to hear from you!
This is a beautiful house with a wonderful view of the ocean. Lovely paintings on many walls. The owner communicated well and included some nice extras at the house to eat and drink. In light of all of the great features, I'm just sorry to report a problem with a feature we were especially looking forward to using--the hot tub. It is advertised as being available, but at the property you encounter a sign saying that people are forbidden to use the hot tub. Once the owner corrects the listing to remove this feature, I can't think of anything else to be concerned about here. It is otherwise as nice a property as advertized and deserves its consistently high reviews.
This house is truly wonderful, you feel immediately at home, in the impeccable surroundings. The house is perfect...gorgeous view, wonderful sunsets...morning fog. Easy walk to the beach.
As we entered the property, we were impressed with the spaciousness and quality of the home. The panoramic view of the ocean is impressive, even though we were enveloped in coastal fog for some of the time. We stayed 6 nights and had plenty of time to chill and enjoy one another's company. We took a couple of short road trips to Mendocino and Fort Bragg. Those were nice. The home is well equipped and maintained. The communication with our host was always prompt and helpful. We intend to get our reservation on the calendar for next year soon and look forward to our return.
Property was quiet, nice neighborhood and wonderful views plus private beach access. Some art in the rooms have nudity, just a heads up for littles if you have concerns. Beds are super comfortable which is always appreciated! Thank you to our host, Karla was attentive and kind. See you again for more memories at Manchester by the sea ? ❤️ The Cloward family
Wonderful and relaxing home was well appointed, gorgeous 180 view of the Pacific and Pt Arena lighthouse. Host was responsive and checked to see that we arrived safely. We will be back!
This inviting property more than accommodated our family on a road trip up the coast and helped create amazing memories
This is now the 3rd or 4th time staying here and it’s my go to property if we’re staying in Irish Beach. Just a wonderfully relaxing place to be, with fabulous views and Karla is very communicative and helpful. Will be back again soon!
This house is just perfect! The kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with basics and yummy treats and wine are waiting from the thoughtful hostess,. The super comfy beds even have mattress heating pads! Love the beautiful view, the truly special house with beautiful furnishings, lovely paintings and wonderful design. Karla has anticipated anything a guest might need or want to know. We loved staying here and will be back.
It was a foggy weekend at the coast, typical to the area and just what we wanted. The house offers everything you would want to spend some hours contemplating the Pacific. Large panoramic windows in most rooms including one of the showers give every opportunity to do so. Everything you need to know about the house is explained with signage (maybe a little excessively so), and nothing is missing. Would definitely come back here to repeat the experience.
Great views and property. Such a peaceful area. Good communication and instructions.
