Penthouse paradise!

We felt warmly welcomed by Lisa even before we arrived. And her warm welcome continued after (the easy and remote) check-in. The home is lovely - a perfect place to relax and enjoy the amazing views. The location is just wonderful for beach access, nature and town walks, dining and shopping. The entire experience was superb and we will definitely return.

The best vacation rental in Mendocino!

This is a fantastic place to stay in Mendocino Village. It has incredible views, the perfect location, a great layout, and plenty of books and games to pass the time -- and it's pet-friendly! We also appreciated how clean the unit was. It's nice to see that the owners really care about providing a first-rate experience. We'll definitely be back!

One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in!

My partner, myself, and our baby dog stayed for 3 nights at the Penthouse and it was simply perfect. We had asked for a slightly early check in, and without us even texting to remind them that day, Lisa texted with an update and the earlier time. The place was immaculate, and you could not ask for a better view or location. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy the Penthouse again. We loved it so much!

beautiful and peaceful

My husband and I love staying here (our 2nd time). It's a beautifully decorated, clean and well-stocked property. It's in the best location, right in downtown Mendocino, with easy access to all the shops. The best part is the large, wraparound deck with views of the headlands and ocean. We spent most of our time on the deck. It's also easy to hike around and even go down to a small, but quiet beach. The owner is very accommodating and wants the guests to have fun. We'll definitely be back again, along with our two small dogs!

Stunning views!

My husband and I have been to the Mendocino area many times and we were so happy to have found this little gem. This was our second time staying at the penthouse and will always be our “go to” when we come back. Not only are the views and location perfection but the home is warm and inviting and Lisa is the best host! She always makes us feel so welcomed and special (it was a birthday celebration). My husband and I cooked two of the three nights we were there and the kitchen was fully stocked with very nice cookware and all the utensils we needed. The penthouse is bliss, offering a quiet, peaceful and very scenic space❤️

I really want to keep this treasure a secret...but it's not fair to the wonderful owners.

Lovely Lisa. We stay in Mendocino a couple of times a year, sometimes at BnBs but this Penthouse is so beautiful we hope it will be available as our very favorite. Very comfortable and stylish and spotlessly clean and well maintained. The views are stunning and it's so great to be right in the village and walk to everything. We didn't meet the landlady but she was there for us, and welcomed us with a beautiful tray of goodies. Everything for our comfort was provided. Thank you lovely Lisa and we hope to be back soon.
