Just be very careful to distinguish between “cottage” and “studio.”

Just be very careful about choosing “cottage” versus “studio” at this property. Vacasa has ZERO flexibility and it is not super clear from the listing which is which. I knew the property ahead of time, had stayed there before, knew the unit I was trying to get, and still ended up with the wrong one. Great property overall but disappointed with the booking process.

Great location

The ocean view in the pictures isn’t quite what you get when you sit on the front porch but you are close enough to hear the waves and glimpse the ocean through breaks in the tree line. Our main complaint is that the bed is super hard. My arms and shoulders kept falling asleep as a side sleeper so I tossed and turned all night for the two nights we stayed. The shower head is awkward -a minor annoyance that maybe they can correct.

A little let down

The place is pretty old, good stuff: Very clean, comfortable bed, SURPRISED little pull out shelf (for my coffee in bed) came out of the nearby cabinet, loved that!!! Front porch (if you can look past all the overgrown weeds) was a nice place to relax, but barely hear or see the water. Some reviews from the other units were mixed with this place because they talked of a fireplace (none here), hammock (none here). There were notes to conserve water but that is hard to do when the water has to run for quite a while before it is hot. Also doing dishes when there is no stopper so the sink can hold water, so running water to wash and rinse…….and no dish towels to dry the dishes since there is no dishwasher. Bathroom sink doesn’t drain very well. Also could use a mat when stepping out of the shower. Luggage holder (2 in the closet) one is broke, has the screws holding legs but needs nuts on the ends or the screws just fall out. I think that is about it…..

Loved this cottage!

This cottage was the perfect home base for my exploration of Mendocino and the surrounding area. It was just a couple of minutes from the shops, and right across the street is the ocean! The little porch with chairs was comfortable and perfect for reading. The living room furniture was also very comfortable. Suggestions: I would have loved to have had a modern blender to use. I like to prepare breakfast smoothies. Fortunately, there was a wonderful breakfast place in town so I was fine. Also, the heater was sporadic, so I was cold in the afternoons and nights. I should have contacted the property manager, but I just doubled up on clothing and sweaters. I would recommend arriving in daylight!!! I arrived at night, and the whole area (Hwy 1, the streets) was pitch black. With curvy roads and no service at times for Google Maps, it was scary. If I come back to Mendocino, I would definitely stay here again, and I’d make sure to travel in daylight!
