My husband and I along with our daughter and grandkids stayed at the property to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday. We really enjoyed our time at the house. The accommodations were exceptional and being so close to the beach and river were a plus. We'd definitely stay again.
This house was absolutely spectacular! It was clean, beautiful, and very inviting. It was a bit hard to find as our GPS sent us on a little adventure, but once we knew where it was, there wasn't a problem. I would recommend this house to anyone and we will likely stay here in the future, if it is available.
We love this house, it has everything we need. So lovely waking up in the Mormon hearing ocean wave!

There are so many things to do near by including wine tasting, hiking, and beach time. The house is extremely comfortable and relaxing if you just want to relax and enjoy the amazing view. We would highly recomend this place to everyone.

From the moment we walked in to the upstairs view it was breathtaking! Can't wait to go back!
Location location location… Rio Luna does not disappoint. The views were amazing and time seemed to stand still as you stare into the Navarro River and try to figure out where all the water goes when it stops before the beach.The house was to die for and we enjoyed the deck and hot tub a lot.Only complaint that some of our friends had was that the beds were too soft.

We had a great time at Rio Luna.I think it's run by a great crew of management who truly cares about all the details. The house is a little dated, but high-end back in the day and well maintained. E.g. Gaggenau Steam combi oven! Very remote which turned out to be a good thing where we could unplug and relax. It was perfect for my family of 4 and our active dog.

We're frequent visitors to the Mendicino coast and needed a new place to stay when our usual haunts were booked. Rio Luna is a beautiful, spacious house with amazing views of the Navaroo River mouth and the ocean beyond. This is one of the best rentals in the area - definitely added to our favorite haunts list!
The most amazing home. We arrived after dark which was a little tough. Not far past Mendocino quick trip to town. The pictures do not come close to what you walk into. Heavenly! The kitchen has everything and I mean everything! The artwork, views and comforts are 10 stars Thank you Rio Luna we’ll be back many times.

Beautiful home with a beautiful view. House was everything we expected. Everything you might possibly need is supplied. Home is very modern and bright. Fantastic family vacation.
We all absolutely loved this house and the whimsical garden. It was absolutely one of the best houses we’ve stayed at on the coastline. Amazing view, really comfortable beds and furnishings. We would book again for sure! There were two things that made us give it a four star rating. First, the hot tub was only heated to 83, which was not warm enough for us to get in, and there is no way of changing the temperature. Also, the sound system was dope, but we could not find the Bluetooth location specified in the rather complicated instructions.

A total of 6 people (3 couples) stayed very comfortably at Rio Luna in April. What an amazing house! It overlooks the Navarro River and Pacific Ocean. The open kitchen was very functional and fun to cook in. We were originally going to eat at a restaurant on our second night, but we decided to "stay in" to take full advantage of all this house has to offer. Very memorable stay and we hope to be back someday!

My friend and I had the best getaway at Rio Luna. The staff at Mendocino Preferred were so accommodating and kind. I had messed up our reservation and they were able to help me correct it. Then when we arrived it was absolute perfection. The home was so comfortable and just stunning. It was close to so many activities amenities so we never felt bored. We both wished we could have stayed longer!
