About this house rental
Stay in a piece of history in this 1880 nostalgic home on the edge of the town of Mendocino, offering amazing white water views and stunning sunsets. Enjoy the sights and soothing sounds of the waves while relaxing on the sun porch with a good book or take a short walk to access the 340 scenic acres of the Mendocino Headlands State Park and Big River Beach. The living room offers another area to cozy up in front of the crackling fireplace and enjoy those amazing views. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, (2 queens, 1 twin room) all with ocean views. (Queen sleeper sofa located in living room.) The bright kitchen is open to the dining area and includes a peninsula that can be used for eating, playing games or supervising the chef. If you don't feel like cooking, the seaside village of Mendocino is just a short walk away and offers charming restaurants, unique boutiques, galleries specializing in local art, and lively entertainment. Mendocino's McCloud House is the perfect setting to create Mendocino memories that will last a lifetime.

Excellent communication from host on every aspect! Checking in/out, things to do in the area, things to know about the house, etc. Kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the hand soaps & kleenex in many rooms. Nice towels, comfortable beds, blankets on the sofas for cuddling, bbq, car port was helpful in the rain, ample seating in each room. A great stay!

Our stay at the Mccloud house was wonderful. Everything about the house and area was just as I expected. The beds were cozy, the views were beautiful and the walks into town were fun. Except a couple of things that we found odd was that the stereo system has a turntable BUT not one ( Record/ Vinyl ) to be found in the house. AND! When we went to go try and have some TV time , there are no instructions at all to be found on how to turn on the TV and get it going so we gave up and tried to watch a DVD movie AND! There is only 1 dvd movie in the whole house to watch! ( Casino Royal ) and that was in bad shape too! It was kinda odd we thought. Maybe someone needs to work on that a bit more Hmmmm….But! All in all it was still nice getaway.

Reviewer Comments:
For whatever it's worth I selected a historic house in Mendocino. The area is beautiful, but the town is overpriced and artsy weird. So the house is kind of like that, and didn't have the amenities I'd prefer. You couldn't open but about 2 windows for a breeze. There were a lot of additional instructions throughout the home which made things less warm and friendly. The whole onboarding process once I completed the sign up through VRBO was cumbersome and absurdly duplicated. All in all this feels more like a place for an eclectic older couple with some sort of toy dog, not really for a family. Don't get me wrong, the house fits the Mendocino vibe, but I've strongly reasoned that I could live without that town. I visited because I had childhood memories of going there, and do not feel the need to return again.
