About this property

Driftwood Bungalow MENDO COAST 15 acre Ocean Front, Private Beach Path HOT TUB

HOT TUB, 1 & 1/2 baths; CALL FOR MORE INFO AT 650 678 0673

Driftwood Bungalow - approximately 15 private acres on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Dramatic views of waves crashing over rocks, see the tide ebb and flow, marvel at the sunset - all from your cozy living room and deck.

Every room was created with attention paid to detail...and a few quirky surprises...fish lights, murals on walls.....

Living Room opens onto the deck. Enjoy views of the ocean as you have your breakfast, play a game of monopoly or do a jigsaw puzzle while listening to sounds of the surf. Comfortable loveseat and chairs in the living room on one end and on the other there is a cream colored table with vibrant red leather chairs and a wonderful ocean view.

Open the french doors and walk out to admire the breathtaking view. Watch pelicans diving for fish, seals frolic in the surf and whales as they migrate. Sit and enjoy lunch on the deck picnic table or read a book in a comfy mesh chair with your feet propped up as you feel your cares slip away while the ocean breeze caresses your face.

In the family room you will find a huge sectional sofa and a 32 inch LCD TV for watching movies; DVD and VCR viewing only, no cable. There is a selection of movies or bring your family favorites. (Sectional is also a full-sized hide-a-bed.)

Master Bedroom has a Queen Bed outfitted with cozy flannel sheets. Pretty blues, pale teal, and rich chocolate brown highlight the master bedroom. Wonderful ocean-themed pictures and decorations complete the decor. Open your window at night and listen to the sounds of the ocean.

Second bedroom has a fun Surfing Theme with two twin beds. Flannel sheets and colorful Pottery Barn Quilts add to your comfort. Great room for the young...or young at heart!

The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for you. Dishwasher, Toaster, griddle, blender, coffee maker, microwave, utensils, waffle iron, gadgets galore and plenty of dishes/glassware for your use. Enjoy a view of the Point Arena Lighthouse from the dining table.

Two gas powered fireplaces warm your nights with the flick of a switch. Grab a cozy afghan, pick a spot and settle in to read the novel you've been meaning to! We have a lending library for your pleasure, sometimes one book just isn't enough!

Fenced yard off the deck, great for child and pet safety. Tuggy Tugboat Sandbox and sand toys for the tykes to enjoy.

The "Honeymoon Cottage", no longer available and occupied for years by a member of the cleaning service, has no common walls.

We do our best to keep the CALENDAR CURRENT and please take a moment to read our GUEST COMMENT section!

Everything was great. One issue..the outside lights on the deck did not work and a couple lights in the living room. Just a heads up for the next guests. We had an awesome time. It was our second time here and we will definitely come back in the future. Thank you!

Beautiful location on the coast. Space is outdated and there is rental related signage throughout the home which kills the vibe a little. Woodfire stove wasn’t working in the main room, but no major issues with our stay.

Great communication, lots of information about the property. Cozy place with beach access and a beautiful view. It would have been nice to have both heaters (fireplaces) working. The kitchen is extremely well organized, the rest of the house is well suited for a whole family. Access to the trail to the beach could be improved by allowing access to the side gate versus the narrow switchback trail and perhaps providing an alternate path to the road (across the creek) since the trail ends in a large cluster of driftwood. The hot tub is nice but a privacy screen would also be nice since the adjacent house has windows near it. Personal preference would also be firmer matresses.

We always enjoy our stay at Driftwood. This time we planned on a getaway weekend where we just stayed at the house all day because it was just so relaxing. My favorite part is the back room where you can sit and see the view. We'll be back!

We’re had an enjoyable time even though the weather kept us inside. The house had plenty of space for us to stretch out and relax. The kitchen has adequate pots, pans…for whatever you plan to make. The walk down to the beach is fairly easy until you get to the log jam. There is a path through, though it’s on the other side of the creek—wear good-grip shoes and be familiar with how to boulder walk as it’s slippery and unstable in areas. For ease of access, you are better off driving down to Irish Beach. Note if you have a dog, they are not allowed at Manchester State Beach.

The walking path to the beach was almost other worldly and our favorite part about the house. You’ll have to traverse over some logs to get to the beach itself so be careful - rather hazardous. The house was fine - beds were a bit on the uncomfy side but manageable. There’s a permanent resident living next door but she’s super-sweet and stopped by as soon as I sent a message about the toilet not working - toilet was fixed within the hour. Currently, both gas fireplaces are not working but there’s good heat via baseboard heaters. Hot tub was hot. Lots of board games, puzzles, and movies. Need to bring your own shampoo and soap for showers. Be sure to hop over to Point Arena for some good pizza and beer.
