Sweeping ocean views nestled in exquisite private garden

Jade's Tower, with its sweeping ocean views, sits one block north of the Mendocino Headlands State Park. Two guests can enjoy the lovely garden that surrounds the tower.

Downstairs there is a queen sleeper sofa with a flowering garden and pond just beyond the triangular glass paned windows. The spiral staircase leads to a airy room with a queen bed. In winter you may see the grey whales as they migrate down the coast of California, and in the Spring the headlands are covered with wildflowers. The galley kitchen, where simple meals can easily be prepared, opens onto a garden patio where you can enjoy your meal, or there is a cozy dining area in the main living space.

If your prefer to eat out, all restaurants in the Village are a short walk from the tower. Art galleries, the Mendocino Art Center, Music and Film Festivals, Farmer's Market, Crown Hall, Sweetwater Eco Spa, Headland trails, and Portuguese and Big River beaches are also within easy walking distance.

Gorgeous gardens, excellent location

Jade’s Tower provides a marvelous spot to relax surrounded by well-tended ornamental gardens. You can walk along the headlands or walk to restaurants and shops. Gorgeous views of the ocean and the stars from the bedroom. A terrific find!

Absolute Perfection

Our third visit to Jade's Tower was as wonderful as ever. Perfect accommodations for two as long as you're able to handle a spiral staircase. The views of the bay from the front window and views of the coastal headlands and ocean from the upstairs bedroom are sublime. The surrounding garden of plants and flowers is glorious and so calming. Although small, Jade's Tower is packed with amenities to make your stay comfortable. The location is easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Mendocino as well as the aforementioned headlands. Communications with owner Virginia are a breeze and the hosts, Winnie and Andy, are there if you need them but invisible if you don't! And Jade's Tower is located in the most welcoming village of Mendocino where everyone can feel at home no matter who you are or who you love. We can't recommend this delightful vacation rental enough.

40th Wedding Anniversary

The Spring flowers must have know we garden lovers were coming , as they could not have been more spectacular! And the expansive view of the ocean beyond, visible from the main floor and 2nd level were stunning to observe in their changing glory from morning till night!Excellent restaurant and a great Irish Pub available to walk to.Privacy was intensity respected while interactions with the caretakers, a lovely couple who lovingly cared for those incredible gardens, an enormous responsibility, were pleasant and helpful. Cannot say enough good things about Jades Tower - one of the top most pleasant trips to us who came every year, often to Heritage House. and others during the 20 years we lived in the Bay Area. PS- don’t be put off by the winding staircase! Even I, a physician with an extensive back surgery and broken hip a year ago, was able to slowly, carefully, and holding on to the railing with both hands, navigate safely and with more ease each of the 5 days of our visit!

Perfect location

The water tower was located in the perfect location in Mendocino. It’s an easy walk to restaurants, supermarket, hiking trails and shopping. And if you want to head to the state parks they are only minutes away by car. The water tower itself was clean and comfortable. The views are spectacular and the surrounding gardens are Lovely.

Gorgeous Mendocino Getaway Cottage (tower)

I have been coming to Mendocino for over 30 years off and on. This is a beautiful, clean, spacious redwood cottage in the shape of a wine country watch tower. The views from both the main level and upstairs bedroom are stunning. Be sure to follow the directions provided by the host, as GPS may mislead you. Accessing from Ukiah Street, it is a short, level walk to Lansing Street, where many of the best stores and eateries are located.The amenities are very comfortable and well maintained. The spiral stairs to the bedroom lead to 180 degree views but might be a problem for guests with mobility concerns. One of my all time favorite stays on the Mendocino Coast.

Magical Tower in Mendocino

This unique tower property has exquisite views, especially from the upstairs bedroom. It is a short walk to scenic walks, restaurants, and shops. It is truly a magical guesthouse, with glorious gardens, and Virginia is a wonderful host. We were reluctant to check out and to return to the real world.

The Tower in Mendocino

The tower is in a great location really close to all the restaurants and the coast for easy access. The grounds are beautiful with a nice little pond and seating in different areas around the property to maximize comfort. The unit itself was really nice. I would guess the only negative part for us was the spiral staircase going up to a comfortable queen bed And having no sink or accessories up top but a fantastic view of the ocean.

Fun, cozy accommodations in the heart of Mendocino

Jade’s Tower was a delight. It’s very well situated in the heart of Mendocino - the shops, restaurants and coastal paths are within walking distance of the tower. The tower is lovely, modern, thoughtful and beautifully designed. A spiral staircase connects the two levels, the ocean views are fantastic, and the landscaping on the property is lovely. My only issue was entirely subjective - the mattress is extra firm and was a bit too hard for me, but my husband loved it. Hosts were communicative and the property managers were kind and very helpful. Overall, it was an excellent stay at a wonderful tower in an outrageously beautiful town. Thank you!

Another great visit to Jades Tower in Mendocino

We have stayed here many times over the past several years and love our time at Jades Tower. It is a great place to either explore Mendocino or just relax (like we did with 4 rainy days out of 5 days stayed).Will be back this summer.

I would like to say that I would'nt recommend this place to anyone, only because we would always want it to be available for us. So here is what is so special about this place, the view is incrediable and so romantic. It is cozy but spacious and intamate. The host are very nice and enjoyable to talk to.Here is what we say while there a few days before Christmas, hundreds of sea lions, one meator, and two racoons playing in the yard in the Koi pond.I think you'll find how special this place is when you stay there.

Lovely escape

We absolutely loved this property! It was stylish, clean and unique and well stocked with everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again. We came in after dark and were stunned the next morning by the spectacular view out of the bedroom window. It was absolutely jaw dropping. The proximity to shopping and restaurants is perfect.
