About this property

Chapman Point House - beauty, history and modernity all in one.

Perched on the bluffs of Mendocino Bay and directly facing Mendocino Village, Chapman Point House delivers a view that artists and sight-seers have coveted for decades straight to the comfort of your living room. Constructed in 1963 by a professor of architecture, every room has a stunning ocean and Mendocino view. The house is framed with awe-inspiring 150-year-old hand-cut giant redwood beams (reclaimed trestle) and the flooring is 3" thick maple from a San Francisco bowling alley. Modern furnishings combined with a beautiful Redwood slab dining table and bar help make the house warm and inviting.

The combination of rustic and modern elements makes this a truly unique and special place. The main living area features a panoramic ocean view through which you'll be mesmerized by the ocean waves during the day and the twinkling lights of Mendocino at night.

Stay in and cook in the fully equipped kitchen or sample some of the many fine restaurants in Mendocino. This house has a primary bedroom with a king bed and full bathroom. The second room is a queen bed with a full bathroom. Chapman Point is also directly adjacent to Spring Ranch Park, letting its guests explore miles of beautiful headlands and meadows sprawling all the way to Van Damme Beach. Whale-watch, bird-watch, hike, go tide-pooling or picnicking for hours, and it's just steps from your front door. There is also a ChargePoint EV charger available to guests. To see all the photos and details visit our website.

Please note: Due to close proximity to the bluffs, no children under 8 years old are allowed at Chapman Point House.

Although Chapman Point House is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 2.

Serene Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was wonderful. Communication and key pick up was easy and all directions were clear. The house was breathtaking, and so were the views. Being next to the trailhead to Spring Ranch Nature Preserve was an added surprise! Was a treat to be close to town, yet the property provided the privacy we were hoping for. The house was stocked with all you can need. Morning coffee on the deck and evenings by the fire will be hard to beat anywhere with that view. Thank you for having us!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed in many vacation rentals. You can always tell when an owner uses the home and cares about it. This is one of those homes that is clearly loved with nice artwork and super comfortable couches and beds. The kitchen has every gadget you'd want. And the view is spectacular. A very special house, indeed!

Chapman House Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of the house was wonderful. It had great privacy. Enjoyed the hot tub. I left a long list of maintenance that needs to be done to the house. The hot tub lid was waterlogged and impossible for old women to get on and off!! Needs a bar for easy lifting. The inside ficus tree is toxic to dogs and leaves were falling constantly. Should not be in house that is dog friendly. The house was clean (except for under one bed) and plenty of cookware. Wonderful stay.

Incredible view.

Your pictures do not do justice to the wonderful view of the Pacific not only from the deck but also from the large windows in the house. It was a wonderful introduction to the coast. The village and restaurants were lovely.

Amazing in every way

This house is truly amazing! Words or photos cannot accurately describe. Unfortunately l, Mother Nature had some big fun just prior to our arrival. Cindy, The property manager, went above and beyond to communicate with us about power outage and road conditions before we arrived. Due to the storm we almost didn’t make it- but I’m so glad we did. Staying at this property was really a once in a lifetime adventure!

Loved it so much i am not even home and rebooked

Absolutely stunning and amazing views from every angle. Located at the end of a peaceful road good for walking youre just a couple minutes from big river beach and mendocino. This property ia conveniently located and has a wonderful story We enjoyed cooking from the house and relaxing after a morning of hiking. The home was immaculate It does have a charcoal bbq to cook on as well. I think my only suggestion would be a bit more light on the grass area to potty dogs after dark...there very well could be a light and i couldn't find it lol 😆 We found a new home away from home

Indelible memories

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have been wanting to stay at the Chapman House for some time and it did not disappoint! I love a house with a story. The architecture and the views are stunning. Our long weekend was a celebration of birthdays for two best friends and we could not have had a better time shopping, exploring, relaxing, and just staring out the giant windows, mesmerized by the gorgeous ocean views. We could not figure out how to close the flue in the primary bedroom, so without a fire in the fireplace, it was a bit drafty. Everything else is well-appointed, although we would have loved to take advantage of the great stereo system; just couldn't figure it out. Bring your own cards, dice, or games. I will definitely be coming back!
