Gualala is a small town located on the Mendocino Coast in northern California, known for its beautiful beaches, redwood forests, and laid-back atmosphere. The town is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, and art galleries, as well as several campgrounds and hiking trails. One of the most popular things to do here is to visit the Gualala River Redwood Park, home to a grove of ancient redwood trees, some of which are over 2,000 years old. Visitors can hike through the park, picnic, or camp. Another popular activity is whale watching. The town is located on a major whale migration route, and whales can often be seen from the shore or from one of the many whale watching tours that are offered. If you are looking for a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Gualala is the perfect place for you!

Great place

We loved this house! It was exactly as showed on the photos. Beautiful ocean views from every room, clean and the perfect size for 2 adults and 2 kids. In the woods but close to supermarket and beach acres. You can’t walk to the beach but it’s like a 5 min drive. House is well equipped and Wi-Fi works great. My only wish that check out would be at 11 am not 20 am. We had a lot of fun and planning to return here. Everything was really perfect!

Nice and functional home

Great views on the ocean from multiple places, also on the forest behind. Everything is very functional and in good shape. Terrific location, although you can't walk to the ocean. Minor caveats: terrible wifi and no dishwasher.

Great weekend getaway

I needed a quick weekend getaway from Napa, and this house was in the perfect location. I could pop up north to explore Mendocino, or head south to explore Sea Ranch. The home itself was well appointed and looked just like the photos. Everything was clean, and working. The view was nice, and when I open the windows or sat on the deck I could hear waves, birds, and even seals barking. Kitchen was set up well. The jetted tub worked great and made for a nice soak at the end of a day of exploring. I'd book this place again.

Great Weekend Getaway

Property is very well maintained! It was easy to check in and out and the amenities, rooms, etc. were as described. The views are amazing and it was fun to just chill on the deck and enjoy the birds and surroundings.

Lovely stay

An excellent quiet relaxing holiday. Beautiful 'cabin' with everything you'll need in the kitchen, spa tub, majestic views & great location for hikes, dining & hanging with the locals. Trying to carve our another spot on the calendar for the next trip. Tip, leave no food out on the counter. There's a bit of an ant issue.

Comforts of Home But Nicer View!

This property was very comfortable and had many extra features like heated bathroom floor, jetted tub, electronic fireplaces, extra TVs, mirrored closet doors, and full laundry. The wood flooring throughout was very nice as well as the wood ceiling and dim-able lighting everywhere. We enjoyed our stay and found ourselves returning earlier each day after adventures to just sit and relax and look out on the ocean.

One of the Very BEST Rental Homes I've Ever Rented

This home is beautiful and there were no surprises because the home was exactly as shown in the pictures (this is not always the case). The home was EXCEPTIONALLY clean. The decor was just perfect - not too much, it felt like a home and the colors were just enough. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone that is going to visit the Mendocino coast. Lots of attractions are nearby, A-1 restaurants are in the area. Great place to stay and visit the northern California coast.

Beautiful location & great service!

We truly enjoyed our stay at High Tor Upper house. It was beautifully done and better than expected. Spacious and comfortable with full size kitchen. Spectacular views of ocean. I contacted customer service 3x in advance to ask questions about property, each time they responded quickly and courteous. While listing on some sites ommited coffe maker, they had 2 - a standard drip and coffee press. Full amenities! Only thing missing was grill, but with fire season becoming so serious here in CA, it was understandable and we had no problem with not having grill. We will definitely book another trip here!

Nice Place!

This was a great place to stay along the Northern CA coast. We had never been to the area, but the house was just as described/photographed. Everything was very clean and in working order, and the view was great. We just wish that the CA coast would give up its fog once in a while, but that's part of the charm. The sea lions could be heard in the distance, and the birdwatching was amazing from the decks. There were good restaurants nearby, and a nice market, so we had our choice of eating out or eating in every night. With the view from the dining room table, we mostly chose to eat in or get takeout. The kitchen was well appointed with everything from dishes to pots and pans to spices, coffee and oils. We would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for a great vacation experience!

Nice ocean view

Great for family vacation. Rooms and kitchen were clean and loved the overall layout. There were minor spider webs on the lightings and outside the property that might need some attention. Master bedrooms heater was showing e3 error that got resolved aftera power on off try. It gets cold after sunset and the room heaters near the floors as well as the heater vent under kitchen basin was good to have. One thing to note was that the master bedroom's roof skylight blind do not block light well ..hence we became a very early riser by sunrise. Otherwise a very pleasant stay overall .. Recommended!
