Penthouse paradise!

We felt warmly welcomed by Lisa even before we arrived. And her warm welcome continued after (the easy and remote) check-in. The home is lovely - a perfect place to relax and enjoy the amazing views. The location is just wonderful for beach access, nature and town walks, dining and shopping. The entire experience was superb and we will definitely return.

THE BEST!

My husband and I stayed at this property for 3 nights to escape our small children and celebrate our marriage. We stayed in three different rentals throughout the week and this one was by far superior to the rest. The decor is so beautiful and thoughtfully arranged. The beds were very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the upstairs library filled with books, movies, and 2 acoustic guitars. Mendocino in general is such a charming town with delicious food and a really laid back vibe. The views from this property cannot be beat and the host Lisa was very accessible. Don't think twice and book this property. It's worth every penny!

Another Amazing Stay on Main Street

This property is so well and thoughtfully maintained, that it's a pleasure to repeat stays. The kitchen is beyond well stocked that it's as good as being at home. Everything is so clean. Not just the main areas, but the nooks and crannies too. The dishes look like they're ALL washed between guests. Not a spec of dust. The downstairs beds are very comfortable and warm. You really can't beat the location and view.

Perched on the edge of a dream

This was a magical experience for my wife and I. The property is in the literal best location in Mendocino. The views from the deck were breathtaking and ever changing—the slow morning fog burning off, the sunlight bouncing diamonds off the horizon, a huge shimmering moon lighting our way home at light. It was dreamlike and magical. Lisa was a gracious host and you can see how much she cares in all the small details (fresh flowers, some snacks and a personal note greeted us upon arrival to name but a few). Really thoughtful and heart felt experience and we just loved every minute.

One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in!

My partner, myself, and our baby dog stayed for 3 nights at the Penthouse and it was simply perfect. We had asked for a slightly early check in, and without us even texting to remind them that day, Lisa texted with an update and the earlier time. The place was immaculate, and you could not ask for a better view or location. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy the Penthouse again. We loved it so much!

Lisa's Penthouse is the very best place to stay in Mendocino

We always have a relaxing time, everything about the Penthouse contributes to a truly wonderful stay. We always feel more like distant unseen cousins, spoiled rotten with goodies and a warm welcome. No need to rave about the fascinating views, and sleeping to the sound of grandma Ocean.

beautiful and peaceful

My husband and I love staying here (our 2nd time). It's a beautifully decorated, clean and well-stocked property. It's in the best location, right in downtown Mendocino, with easy access to all the shops. The best part is the large, wraparound deck with views of the headlands and ocean. We spent most of our time on the deck. It's also easy to hike around and even go down to a small, but quiet beach. The owner is very accommodating and wants the guests to have fun. We'll definitely be back again, along with our two small dogs!
