Surfwood Getaway

Located in a very quiet neighborhood on the edge of Russian Gulch State Park, this beautiful, four-bedroom Mendocino house is waiting to provide your family and friends with lots of happy vacation memories, so pack your beach towels and get ready for a fun-filled getaway! Inside, the great room is open and spacious, with high, vaulted ceilings and skylights, wood accents, a wood-burning fireplace, and lots of attractive furniture and decor. The living room has plenty of comfortable seating surrounding a flatscreen TV, and you'll have fantastic tree views from every window. Adjacent to the living room, the reading nook includes a small bar area for assembling your favorite drinks. The full kitchen has all the small and major appliances and counter space the group chef could ask for, and you'll have plenty of counter space to work on as well. Serve up to six people at the handsome dining table while the kids chatter away from the two breakfast bar stools then let the dishwasher knock out all the dirty dishes while you adjourn outside with friends. Tuck into four well-appointed beds after a fun-filled day. (Please note the fourth bedroom is detached from the home and located off the garage.)

Outside, you'll find a large wrap-around deck furnished with a private gas grill and lots of seating. The kids will love romping around the enclosed yard with the family dog, and the private hot tub is great for soaking your weary muscles after a hot-weather hike. Gather everyone around the firepit to enjoy some toasted 'Smores and stargazing, then wrap up your evening with a good Netflix movie with the gang. Remote workers and students will have a desk to work from and the home's free WiFi will make it easy to do a bit of online research for those last-minute projects. Reward your hard work with a fun trip to Agate Beach, just a mile away, then come back to spread out some board games for a fun game night with the kids. For even more outdoor activities, you'll find hiking, picnicking, surfing, kayaking, and fishing nearby, plus plenty of shopping and dining as well.

Beautiful getaway in the Redwoods
LOVED this home! We were looking for a quiet, dog-friendly getaway near Mendocino and this home had it all! The pictures are very accurate but at the same time don't quite convey how truly large and open the main living area is- which was s delightful surprise. I absolutely loved having my morning coffee in the bay window, reading in one of the many seating areas in the open concept living space, or lounging on the wrap around porch. The layout of the home allowed for lots of time together or we had the option to retreat to many of the quiet spaces around the home- both inside and out, to recharge. The dog run area was a really helpful addition to the home and allowed our pups (2 small dogs ~10-12lbs) to run around without the worry of having them off leash in a new area. The hot tub was wonderful way to unwind at the end of the day or just relax on the back patio area with snacks and wine. This home is definitely for tree-lovers and while you could technically see the ocean, it was far enough down the hill that the we were insulated from the cold and the wind. We traveled with my in-laws and my 11 year old, the home is great for families and fur-family members. We had one person in our group that with mobility limitations and uses assistive devices so it was nice to have a range of bathroom options (step-in shower) for different abilities. Overall- highly recommend and it's close enough to both Mendocino and Ft. Bragg that you could easily run to town or go adventuring and never feel like you're too far of a drive from your "home base". Love it!

Perfect Location!
Surfood Getaway was perfectly located minutes from downtown Mendocino and close to lots of hiking. The house was clean and decorated well. Lots of parking and 4 rooms for a big family. We enjoyed cooking and watching movies on the big screen TV. Kitchen items need an upgrade. There's only one frying pan and it is well used and icky. Only one hot mitt that is so thin you burn your hands pulling things from the oven. No cutting board. Neighbors dogs are almost always outside and they bark relentlessly every time you go outside which made using the BBQ and fire pit unenjoyable. There was no access to the washer and dryer which may be a problem for people staying longer than a couple nights. A landscape crew showed up and wanted to mow, weed whack and blow while we were relaxing so we had to listen to that for an hour. It would have been nice to be told the schedule so we could have been out during their work time. We chose this house because other reviews said the hot tub was crystal clean, but when we arrived, it was filthy and smelled awful. I contacted Vacasa right away, but spent hours of my time texting, sending pictures and videos to prove there was an issue. When I finally got connected with the local team, they were able to send someone out the next day but we still drained and the hot tub and refilled it ourselves, the maintenance guy just cleaned out all the dirt. We lost 2 days of hot tub use so that was a drag.

relaxing family retreat
Wonderful house among the redwoods. The house was very spacious and clean with plenty of places to stretch out and play board games. The hot tub worked really well and the kitchen had everything that we needed for cooking. The setting was so quiet and peaceful. We would have loved to have our dog with us but she was over the 15 lb limit.

Lovely Living Room
The living room of the house was perfect, we could all hang out together to play family games, eat and relax. It was the perfect gathering place. The wood stove was awesome and made the room so cozy and nice. They already had wood ready to go! The house is in a nice neighborhood and with a short walk you can see the coast. The drawback of the property is the 4th bedroom is an addition to the garage so whoever stays in there is really separate from the group, but my parents stayed in there and liked they couldn’t hear any noise from the family games. The laundry saga… The local rental company failed to update the VRBO listing so we thought there was a washer and dryer and there is no laundry facilities. (You can see them in the garage but you do not have access) They only had 1 bath towel per person which was ok, but if there is no laundry they should provide more towels. At this price point we expected a washer and dryer. The homeowners should know the local company post the wrong info on VRBO. The rental company told us to go to a laundry mat if we wanted to do laundry instead of apologizing for posting incorrect info about the house. Like we wanted to spend our vacation sitting in a laundry mat. My husband and my Dad had to go to the local place in person for them to make it right by giving us a small credit for each night.

Beautiful home, well located but...
The kitchen can use more pots, pans, glasses, etc. Customer service was not very helpful when the lock door stopped working.
