About this property

Ocean View 'Desire' Albion Mendocino Home

Accommodations: House, 1 Bedroom + 1 Bath (Sleeps 2) .
Thank you for your interest in staying with us!

This very private, romantic, ocean view and cliffside Mendocino cottage is a spacious split-level set as close to the ocean as possible so as to take full advantage of the dramatic setting. The soothing sounds of the ocean waves rolling in and crashing against the rocks below will make you feel like you are on your own private island.
This gem of a house has romantic, private, and truly million dollar expansive views of the ocean from every room. The view through the French doors is truly breathtaking. A wrought iron spiral staircase ascends to the upstairs oversized King bed. The fireplace also has an amazing view of the ocean. The night time sky reveals a starry sky unpolluted by city lights. The kitchen is fully functional with pots and pans, gas stove & oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. We also have an assortment of spices, but please feel free to bring whatever you need. We also have a washing machine and dryer for use.
This home is close driving distance to the village of Mendocino, Fort Bragg, Point Arena as well as the renowned Anderson Valley wine country.

This, one of a kind house is an ideal getaway for a honeymoon, anniversary, or that much needed and deserved time off. You will understand why guests call this home 'Desire' and why they all tell us they will be back next year!

Please do not hesitate to contact the owner with ANY questions regarding the house before making a reservation. Thank you!

Quiet getaway

This was a perfect quiet getaway for a few days. A short drive to Mendocino and anything else along the coast. The house was quaint and perfect for a short stay.

Superb overlook

This was the perfect post Mendocino Woodlands camp experience! It had a fantastic view of the coast from the porch. With a hot tub, and very comfortable bed, and a very convenient location for beaches and hiking, this was a superb place to stay.

Serene Seaside Retreat

We recently stayed at this wonderful rental near Mendocino, and it was everything we hoped for. The view of the ocean was breathtaking, especially at sunset. The house had a cozy, rustic charm, with thoughtful details that made it feel both comfortable and unique. One of our favorite things was the sense of privacy; it felt like a true retreat. The house was peaceful and quiet, yet conveniently located, making it easy to explore the surroundings without any hassle. If you’re looking for a serene escape with stunning ocean views and a cozy, rustic vibe, we highly recommend this place.

Lovely weekend in Mendocino

We love this property in Albion. It's on a secluded bluff, only 15-20 minutes from Mendocino. Beautiful view of the ocean, great hot tub. The house itself is cozy and sweet if a bit rustic.

Beautiful location, cozy house

We loved our stay at this house on the coast. Overall, the amenities worked well for us. The deck is a little unstable, so we just had to watch our step walking around the deck. But we enjoyed watching the waves and sunsets everyday from the deck chairs. Would definitely stay here again.

Very Nice Get-A-Way Location

We had a wonderful time! No issues with the property. Due to the staircase and stepdown shower, it isn't handicap friendly, but we navigated the property fine. It was a little closer to Highway 1 than I anticipated, so there was some traffic noise during the day time. Other than that, it was a beautiful place.
