About this house rental
Historic La Bella Vista offers truly exceptional ocean views from almost every room. Originally the Marsan’s Blacksmith Shop in the 1800s, this home allows you to experience a piece of history. The custom kitchen offers mesmerizing coastal views. If you don’t feel like cooking, Little River Inn and Wild Fish Restaurants are just a short ½ mile car ride away, as well as the many dining opportunities offered two miles away in the Mendocino Village. View Van Damme State Park beach from the tranquil garden, spa, deck, or patio and enjoy the sounds of the surf while watching the many seabirds and wildlife. Kayak Mendocino offers professionally guided sea cave tours where you can experience the beauty of the ocean while sitting on top of an ocean kayak. Across the street from the beach is Van Damme State Park which includes the Fern Canyon Trail system and offers hiking through acres of lush fern and pygmy forest. Also, direct access to the Spring Ranch Preserve trails with great hiking and biking along the scenic cliff line is close by. Like to golf? The Little River ocean views golf course is nearby. La Bella Vista is the perfect location to make once-in-a-lifetime memories. ~Please note:~ La Bella Vista is located immediately off of Highway 1 in Little River, while this is a slow stretch of single-lane highway, guests that are light sleepers or sensitive to noise may be disrupted by the road noise. Primary queen w/full bath, queen room downstairs w/full bath. Queen sleeper pullout in the living room.
Although La Bella Vista is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 2.

Wonderfully comfortable and clean. We absolutely reveled in the views and the garden. We enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen. The house and deck are great for relaxing together and the location is superb. We hope we can come back and stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay. The only problem we had was with the TV remotes, but we contacted the office and a young gentlemen came and got us our Nexflix

Reviewer Comments:
Our stay of 2 nights was perfect for my birthday getaway. The management company had calla lilies and a birthday note at my arrival. Extremely thoughtful and much appreciated. The home was very clean and as advertised. It had everything we needed to enjoy our time. My favorites during our stay was waking up to the beautiful views of Whale Rock and ocean each morning, the hot tub to enjoy garden and ocean views on chilly days and nights, and the ease of near by trails for hikes around the bluffs. Such a gem. We look forward to returning soon.
