Just ten minutes south of the historic village of Mendocino and only 3 minutes south of the movie-famed Heritage House Inn, TIDEPOOL is a unique cliff-top oceanfront retreat – a spacious 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home perched 100 feet above scenic Whitesboro Cove. Its angular box design, beamed ceilings, and redwood interior and exterior are reminiscent of the Sea Ranch architectural style. A veritable sixty foot wraparound floor-to-ceiling wall of glass, spanning the living and sun rooms, immerses you in the panoramic sweep of the rugged Albion Headlands whitewater coastline, Whitesboro Cove, and the Pacific Ocean. Sit inside or outside on the wind-sheltered deck or in the hot tub at eye level with soaring osprey, pelicans, hawks, and gulls and enjoy the nonstop procession of ocean swells crashing into the rocks below. The pelicans and osprey hover all day long above the cove, crashdiving into the water for the local sushi. During their seasonal migrations, you'll experience the parade of spouts, fins and flukes of Pacific gray whales.

The Master bedroom loft (king bed & half bath) and its oversized North facing window offer a picture perfect view of the crashing waves without even having to lift your head from the pillow and a private cozy deck to enjoy the sun or your own private view of the stars. The 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on the first floor (queen bed and 2 twin-XL's configurable as a King mattress) are located down the hall from the galley kitchen. The downstairs Master bedroom suite features its own recently remodeled bathroom with an oversized tiled shower and bench combo with bar-holds for safety. A formal dining room comfortably seats six to eight and the Franklin fireplace compliments any meal. While dining, enjoy the pre-recorded keyboard selections on the Yamaha Electric Clavinova or the musicians amongst you can make your own music on the Clavinova and Electric Vibraphone.

Stretch out in the paired Scandinavian leather recliners in the privacy of the all-cedar-and-glass Lindal sunroom and listen to your favorite music while meditating upon the ever-changing panoramic ocean, coastal, and bay vistas. No matter the weather outside, it’s always comfy inside because of the house’s central heating. With a cozy fire burning in the wood stove, enjoy the spectacular ocean sunsets and the grazing and winged wildlife while ensconced upon the living room’s comfy leather sofas. Both the living room and upstairs master bedroom feature a Bose audio and 55-inch HDTV entertainment center fed by Roku set-top box with complimentary Youtube TV(55 TV channels) including HBO, Showtime movie channels. DVD player. iPod docking cable to stereo.

Like an oceanfront oasis, your privacy is assured – located at the end of a cul-de-sac; TIDEPOOL is part of a private, GATED road just two minutes south of the Ledford House Restaurant and Albion River Restaurant, two great dining experiences on the coast. Nearby, the quaint town of Albion offers everything you need for your much-needed retreat, and the Albion Flats Cafe, just 3 minutes North, cooks up the best budget-priced breakfasts on the North Coast while offering a surrealistic view from below the last remaining wooden trestle bridge on CA Highway One. Although there is NO BEACH ACCESS from our cliff top property, you can enjoy stopping off at Van Damme Beach in Little River or Big River Beach in Mendocino during your ten minute drive into Mendocino.

35+ Mbps broadband Internet connection and WiFi is available anywhere in the house so bring your tablets, laptops, and Roku devices to stream your favorite video entertainment. Roku's provided if you want to login to your streaming services.

Cliffs of Moher
I’ve always wanted to visit Ireland and this is exactly what I aspire to see…. Sitting in a warm cozy home, looking out at the sea and cliffs. The house is in an amazing spot on a cliff overlooking an inlet land and open sea… the view is 180’ from almost everywhere in the house. Floor to ceiling windows give you the feeling you are on a cruise ship. The house is warm and comfortable with everything you could possibly need to relax and recharge! The owner is attentive and informative….we use vacation rentals at least 3 to 5 times a year and this is the absolute best we have ever had and will definitely be returning on an annual basis.

What an amazing view!
The view is just amazing! We had some sunshine, torrential downpours, a thunderstorm and a power outage (there are lanterns provided). The ocean was just incredible to watch through it all. Howard is so good at communicating-we had issues with the Wi-Fi and he helped me get it back up. Any questions, he was quick to respond. The house is large and comfortable, but just know that it is an older house. We will definitely rent again if in the area.

Beautiful place to relax and just enjoy the view.
People hike all up and down the Mendocino coast to take photos of the coastline. Here, we could just watch it all day long. Accommodations might be a little dated but the scenery makes up for that and more. Best of all, was enjoying the last of the daylight in the hot tub every day as the sun went down and the sky changed through every color of the rainbow.

Views, foxes and deer..oh my
The pictures are incredibly accurate. The place is large for a couple, but waking up to the ocean vistas was amazing. Also, the foxes regularly sunned themselves on the deck and the deer grazed every morning. It was lovely. The beds were comfortable and looked new. The heating was powerful and efficient. It felt like you were staying at your cool uncle’s vacation home complete with ready access to streaming services, as well as, recommendations for food and activities. Howard was communicative and very helpful. Tips for area: buy gas in Cloverdale or Fort Bragg as it is cheaper; and the volunteer in the Ford House is a wealth of information about the history of the area and has trail maps. Howard’s restaurant recommendations were all good. Please note that hours were mostly Wednesday through Sunday in late October to early November, so plan accordingly. Frankie’s and Flow had friendly staff and were often open when others were not. Have told all of our California friends about this wondrous place and would return in a heart beat.
