Whale Song

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Share an unforgettable getaway at this custom-built, modern Mendocino vacation rental. Aptly dubbed Whale Song, this remarkable home overlooks the ocean. It even has a private, oceanfront hot tub.

Perched on a lush hillside, this unique Northern California Coast lodge is close to area attractions. Just five miles away is Russian Gulch State Park for a scenic hike to a 36-foot high waterfall. The Devil's Punch Bowl, a large collapsed sea cave with churning water, is nearby too. Bike to Pount Cabrillo Lighthouse and Caspar Beach - it’s all close to home.

At the rental, you’ll have everything you need to relax as you wish. Whip up a delightful meal in the fully stocked kitchen then curl up by the fireplace. Or, stay up and watch TV while everyone else goes to bed.

In the master bedrooms, you’ll have a spacious king-size bed. In the second bedroom is a queen-sized bed, and in the third bedroom a twin. Every bedroom has an ocean view and access to a private deck!

After a day hiking among the breathtaking coastal vistas of Mendocino, make sure to rejuvenate in the hot tub. While that’s going on, toss your clothes in the private washer and dryer. It’s all about a carefree vacation.

With its magnificent ocean views, stained glass, and tasteful furnishings there is something for everyone at this beautiful Northern California Coast vacation rental.

Whale Song

The neighborhood, house and property are gorgeous! Not to mention the view of the ocean from the hot tub!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was very relaxing and peaceful listening to the waves crashing on the coastline. Sunset views are also incredible.Extremely romantic location for a getaway with your significant other!We are already thinking of a return trip.The garage is accessible, however you cannot park a car in there, which I would like to have done.I would definitely recommend!

Ocean Thanksgiving

This property had some plusses and minuses. Location lovely, beautiful ocean views. Close to Mendocino. The jacuzzi was well placed and had wonderful stargazing opportunities, but could have been cleaner. The steep driveway is a major issue as you are not supposed to park above on the road. The home really needs updating and window refurbishing. The biggest issues were the very uncomfortable bed upstairs causing poor sleep. Also the living room is very small. Good for 4 people but that’s about it. We lucked out with good weather so could be outside. However the deck needs refinishing & more than .2 plastic deck chairs.

Great view

Pros: The view was awesome. Very quiet neighborhood. Roomy. Enjoyed our stay. Cons: maybe get a Polyethylene cutting board for meat, sheet pan, a sliding screen for the room upstairs and downstairs. Fix the other sliding screen upstairs, not have so much soap or chemicals in hot tub. It looked like Dawn dish soap with all the bubbles , fix two of the jets. Take the mold off the shower curtain downstairs, a glass plate for inside the microwave, fix the living room 2 windows so you can see out of them. We killed 2 termites. 😵‍💫. And that over 400. Fee….for I don’t know what.

Beautiful spot

Lovely, quiet sanctuary with wonderful ocean view. Very comfortable place to stay--we've stayed there 3 times. Nevertheless, renters should be aware of very steep driveway, and inside stairway that is steep--treads too narrow and rise too high. Both are manageable, but just be aware. In lovely neighborhood between town and the Pt. Cabrillo Lighthouse.

Most of the electrical outlets throughout the home didn’t not work could not plug things in . When the microwave was running the house shorted out and lights flashed and blinked . There were hardly any light bulbs in most of the outdoors porch lights and fixtures in the home so we could see . There was a dirty used tampon on the side of the hot tub when we got there . :(. No net to clean out and debris out of the hot tub if needed . Railings were very flimsy and lose and there were soft spots on the floor of the deck which were super sketchy. Since it’s 20 feet up in the air . Vaccum had a hole in the cord and smelt like electrical fire when we tried to vacuum..so we didn’t . The washing machine’s thing on the inside was loose . And there were screens missing from the sliding glass door so we could leave the door open to get fresh air with out filling house with. Bugs . Also not enough trash bags were provided for a 5 night 6 guest stay . And the inside of the house smelled like A old people a house . ( you know what I mean ) like a dirty sweaty baseball cap. Furniture was very old and rickety . No where to put clothes away except in the closet that barely had a hanger . Had outdoor furniture on the inside 😳 hmmm… Veiw was good . Location was good driveway was a absolutely nightmare. And the WiFi sucked . Never could hook up to it . Ugh even after resetting the modem.

Wait for them to fix the issues.

The view was great. The neighborhood was pleasant. The parking was a challenge. Heed their warnings and bring the 4 wheel drive.

A bit of a disappointment.

The place looks larger in the pictures. We were disappointed in the size of the TV/common space where there is only space for four people, not six and the furniture was old. Luckily we spent time with family at another facility with more space. This was the biggest complaint. The dining table had only five chairs, one of which had a wobbly arm. The spa foamed up. The layout of the kitchen was good and it was well equipped. The second floor was very nice. The view was nice. Did not understand why parking in the cul-de-sac was prohibited.

Great location!

The views from the house are beautiful but there are only 2 outdoor plastic chairs on the deck that really need to be replaced and the door going out to the deck won’t stay closed unless you lock it. The house itself was nice but needs some attention…kitchen faucet needs to be fixed and there is a leak in the downstairs bathroom. Also the shower head in the upstairs bathroom should be replaced because it’s corroded. With just a few minor repairs Whale Song would be a 5 star house!

Nice home in the woods with ocean view

The home is located between Mendocino and Ft Bragg. Clean and appointed well enough for the price point; would definitely return.

Loved our stay! It was quiet and relaxing and the view was amazing!! Totally not the owners fault but there was a skunk that stalked us the entire stay. Just something that happens in nature but loved everything else about our stay.

More songs from the Whale

We have stayed at this property several times over the last 8 years and it is still a wonderful place to pull the plug and enjoy the peace and quiet as well as the view. I will say that the house doesn't have the same family warmth and love that it did years ago. 10 years of online renting and use is taking a toll and it shows. all the lights are now LED which are way way too bright at the standard 6500K light temp/color which is very very sad for the coast and a 'warm' property. look into LED lights that are rated at 2700-3000K otherwise it just looks like warehouse lighting inside. pictures are missing off the walls and other aspects of rental 'entropy' are becoming very evident. there is also trash that previous renters have let fall over the decking and are visible in the brush below....also sad. I'd still come back, but thought I would offer some constructive criticism and input for a place that I do love.

Great location, notable kitchen issues

The location, views, hot tub, and decor were incredible! There were too many scraped up teflon pans in the kitchen (likely because management provided a metal spatula), but luckily we found 2 that still worked. Can opener barely worked, and there were 20+ ants per day despite us keeping everything in the fridge and keeping the counters clean. The beds were also very firm. Biggest 3 changes I would encourage management to make are 1)vinegar cleaning spray available to guests to minimize ants 2)go through cookware and remove unusable/incompatible items 3) buy a mattress topper for at least one of the beds. Would recommend to anyone with scoliosis or who doesn't want to cook in the meantime. 1 more tip unrelated to the place! Make sure you drive a bit (10 mins) for gas, otherwise you'll pay way too much
