About this property

Chapman Point House - beauty, history and modernity all in one.

Perched on the bluffs of Mendocino Bay and directly facing Mendocino Village, Chapman Point House delivers a view that artists and sight-seers have coveted for decades straight to the comfort of your living room. Constructed in 1963 by a professor of architecture, every room has a stunning ocean and Mendocino view. The house is framed with awe-inspiring 150-year-old hand-cut giant redwood beams (reclaimed trestle) and the flooring is 3" thick maple from a San Francisco bowling alley. Modern furnishings combined with a beautiful Redwood slab dining table and bar help make the house warm and inviting.

The combination of rustic and modern elements makes this a truly unique and special place. The main living area features a panoramic ocean view through which you'll be mesmerized by the ocean waves during the day and the twinkling lights of Mendocino at night.

Stay in and cook in the fully equipped kitchen or sample some of the many fine restaurants in Mendocino. This house has a primary bedroom with a king bed and full bathroom. The second room is a queen bed with a full bathroom. Chapman Point is also directly adjacent to Spring Ranch Park, letting its guests explore miles of beautiful headlands and meadows sprawling all the way to Van Damme Beach. Whale-watch, bird-watch, hike, go tide-pooling or picnicking for hours, and it's just steps from your front door. There is also a ChargePoint EV charger available to guests. To see all the photos and details visit our website.

Please note: Due to close proximity to the bluffs, no children under 8 years old are allowed at Chapman Point House.

Although Chapman Point House is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 2.

Great stay on the coast

Wonderful house full of architectural character and big windows framing spectacular views of the coast and Mendocino. The technology worked great (TV, internet, cell service) as did the hot tub. The grounds are well kept and the neighborhood was quiet and convenient to town. Highly recommend.

Serene Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was wonderful. Communication and key pick up was easy and all directions were clear. The house was breathtaking, and so were the views. Being next to the trailhead to Spring Ranch Nature Preserve was an added surprise! Was a treat to be close to town, yet the property provided the privacy we were hoping for. The house was stocked with all you can need. Morning coffee on the deck and evenings by the fire will be hard to beat anywhere with that view. Thank you for having us!

Amazing views

Views and location were better than we could have imagined. The only suggestions we have are on the bed size in the second bedroom. A double bed does not fit 2 tall people. Not sure why they did not put a queen in there.

Chapman House Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of the house was wonderful. It had great privacy. Enjoyed the hot tub. I left a long list of maintenance that needs to be done to the house. The hot tub lid was waterlogged and impossible for old women to get on and off!! Needs a bar for easy lifting. The inside ficus tree is toxic to dogs and leaves were falling constantly. Should not be in house that is dog friendly. The house was clean (except for under one bed) and plenty of cookware. Wonderful stay.

August stay at Chapman House.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House architecture is interesting however does not project a warm welcoming feeling. Furniture outdated. Lots of dark wood used on the inside (depressing). Strong moldy smell throughout the house (pretty bad). Bed cover had stains. Not enough privacy especially if using the hot tub.

Summer 2025

The house was pretty. We like the 2 wings, separate rooms. The kitchen and the living room in the middle. The view was beautiful and the hot tub was very nice. This kitchen was very modern. That's a barbecue, could be updated, but it worked just fine. The beams and the floors we're very beautiful..

Best Location!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house and it has the best location of any we've stayed at in Mendocino. Very clean, although some of the furniture like the couch could use an upgrade. It's lost all support and by the second day both our backs hurt.

Location and view were amazing. Linens need upgrade.

The property is absolutely magical. The architecture of the building and how it is positioned on the land with the flora, fauna and the views of Mendocino and the Ocean is second to none. For the price of the rental the linens were old, severely pilly and scratchy to sleep on. In the 2nd bedroom the pillows were rock hard and we were unable to sleep on them (they are decorator pillows not sleeping pillows). It would be convenient to be able to pick up the keys at the property instead of having to drive into town to find them and then having to drop them off again. Modern technology easily affords check in at the property.

This is one of those homes that is clearly loved with nice artwork and super comfortable couches and beds. The kitchen has every gadget you'd want. And the view is spectacular. A very special house, indeed!

Incredible view.

Your pictures do not do justice to the wonderful view of the Pacific not only from the deck but also from the large windows in the house. It was a wonderful introduction to the coast. The village and restaurants were lovely.

Amazing in every way

This house is truly amazing! Words or photos cannot accurately describe. Unfortunately l, Mother Nature had some big fun just prior to our arrival. Cindy, The property manager, went above and beyond to communicate with us about power outage and road conditions before we arrived. Due to the storm we almost didn’t make it- but I’m so glad we did. Staying at this property was really a once in a lifetime adventure!
