Oceanfront Sanctuary - Private Cove, Deck, Grill

Summary:

Sunset Cove



The Space:

This warm and inviting oceanfront home was designed to draw in the incredible whitewater views. Located right on the bluff of the beautiful Mendocino Coast, it boasts an outdoor kitchen with a gas grill and an observation deck over a private cove. Enjoy seasonal whale watching, various sea birds, and the hypnotizing sounds of the crashing ocean waves. On blustery mornings, sip your coffee from the cozy sunroom, while taking in the panoramic view. Tired after a long day exploring the city? Enjoy the ambiance of the flames in the electric fireplace.



This home is located between Mendocino and Fort Bragg, just one mile from the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and a short drive from Belinda Point Beach, McKerricher State Park, Noyo Harbor, Glass Beach, the Fort Bragg Coastal Trail, and several shops and restaurants in the towns of Mendocino and Fort Bragg.

Well-appointed home, as advertised, with amazing ocean views. Lovely Botanic Gardens within walking distance and many parks and dining options within a few miles' drive. However, we found it hard to leave this excellent perch above the ocean!

Sunset Cove is the real deal.

Great beach bungalow. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Comfortable, quiet and peaceful. Secluded gated neighborhood, but conveniently close to both Ft. Bragg and Mendo. And the ocean view from the deck and the observation deck is as good as it gets. My wife and I are already planning our next trip to Sunset Cove.

Super clean. Very spacious. Amazing views of the ocean. Had everything we needed to make breakfast. Can use Apple air play w tv. All bedrooms had a view of the water.

Beautiful ocean view

Place was very nice. Incredible views from all rooms. Stairs to second floor a bit steep, might be tricky for older folk. No washer/dryer, so not great for longer stays. Location close to Mendocino & Fort Bragg. Nest (heating & A/C) was a complicated to use.

Picture perfect getaway

This house was more than what we imagined it to be. So well maintained with a convenient layout and well-equipped. Our family got away for a few days during COVID and it was idyllic. The sound of the ocean and the view from the master bedroom and study gave each of us space to unwind and relax. Convenient to activities, groceries and the little town of Mendocino. Just a 4-hour drive from the Bay Area and we also got some wine tasting in on the way there and back.

Ocean getaway

Breathtaking location. This property was difficult to find with the directions provided (behind an unobtrusive gate right before the street that MapQuest told us to turn on). Mentioning this in an e-mail would be great. I contacted the property owner inquiring about the fires prior to our arrival and never received a response.
