Whale Song

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Share an unforgettable getaway at this custom-built, modern Mendocino vacation rental. Aptly dubbed Whale Song, this remarkable home overlooks the ocean. It even has a private, oceanfront hot tub.

Perched on a lush hillside, this unique Northern California Coast lodge is close to area attractions. Just five miles away is Russian Gulch State Park for a scenic hike to a 36-foot high waterfall. The Devil's Punch Bowl, a large collapsed sea cave with churning water, is nearby too. Bike to Pount Cabrillo Lighthouse and Caspar Beach - it’s all close to home.

At the rental, you’ll have everything you need to relax as you wish. Whip up a delightful meal in the fully stocked kitchen then curl up by the fireplace. Or, stay up and watch TV while everyone else goes to bed.

In the master bedrooms, you’ll have a spacious king-size bed. In the second bedroom is a queen-sized bed, and in the third bedroom a twin. Every bedroom has an ocean view and access to a private deck!

After a day hiking among the breathtaking coastal vistas of Mendocino, make sure to rejuvenate in the hot tub. While that’s going on, toss your clothes in the private washer and dryer. It’s all about a carefree vacation.

With its magnificent ocean views, stained glass, and tasteful furnishings there is something for everyone at this beautiful Northern California Coast vacation rental.

Great Quiet Getaway!

Located in a very quiet neighborhood with a view of the ocean - we felt like we were miles away, but with Mendocino and Ft. Bragg a very short distance away - we had everything we needed!

Peaceful stay

The Whalesong neighborhood is quiet, with noise blunted by tall trees. The sound of the waves heard from the house and deck is very soothing. Sitting in the hot tub, you can see the ocean. It is very clean. There are 5 state parks within 10 miles.

Rest in comfort and ease

It is quiet at the Whalesong, with a beauitful view of the ocean. You can hear the waves from house when you open the glass doors. 5 state parks are within 10 miles. The house is very clean, comfortable. We parked in the upper parking lot as the ascent from the lower one is short and steep. It was not hard to carry our belngings to the house. A very restful, peaceful place.

Beautiful views, quiet neighborhood

This home is situated in a quiet neighborhood, and has stunning views from the bedrooms, decks, living room and dining room. There were three of us, but the house would easily accommodate two couples and a couple of kiddos. The kitchen is well supplied, and there were plenty of towels and paper products for our group. We loved having lunch on the deck at the picnic table, while watching for whale spouts. Be prepared for a very steep driveway. We were glad our car didn't have a manual transmission!

Whale Song

The neighborhood, house and property are gorgeous! Not to mention the view of the ocean from the hot tub!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was very relaxing and peaceful listening to the waves crashing on the coastline. Sunset views are also incredible.Extremely romantic location for a getaway with your significant other!We are already thinking of a return trip.The garage is accessible, however you cannot park a car in there, which I would like to have done.I would definitely recommend!

Great Location and Amazing View

Loved our stay! It was quiet and relaxing and the view was amazing!! Totally not the owners fault but there was a skunk that stalked us the entire stay. Just something that happens in nature but loved everything else about our stay.

Beautiful spot

Lovely, quiet sanctuary with wonderful ocean view. Very comfortable place to stay--we've stayed there 3 times. Nevertheless, renters should be aware of very steep driveway, and inside stairway that is steep--treads too narrow and rise too high. Both are manageable, but just be aware. In lovely neighborhood between town and the Pt. Cabrillo Lighthouse.

Lovely Coastal Retreat

Wonderful cozy quiet stay, amazing views from every room, clean, comfortable, well-chlorinated hot tub with views. Was on crutches so appreciate that everything on first floor was accessible. Great location to visit light house and Russian Gulch. Downside Checkout at 10am with a family was a rush.

Ocean Thanksgiving

This property had some plusses and minuses. Location lovely, beautiful ocean views. Close to Mendocino. The jacuzzi was well placed and had wonderful stargazing opportunities, but could have been cleaner. The steep driveway is a major issue as you are not supposed to park above on the road. The home really needs updating and window refurbishing. The biggest issues were the very uncomfortable bed upstairs causing poor sleep. Also the living room is very small. Good for 4 people but that’s about it. We lucked out with good weather so could be outside. However the deck needs refinishing & more than .2 plastic deck chairs.
