Friederichs' Beach House
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
With a private hot tub, a gorgeous outdoor deck, and an enviable location overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this three-bedroom Manchester vacation home is an ideal destination for guests in search of coastal tranquility.
Beautifully secluded in the small town of Manchester in Northern California, this two-level home is 24 miles north of Gualala, 26 miles south of Mendocino, and only a quarter-mile from the wild and rugged ocean beach.
Full of natural light and ocean views, the lofty living space brings the scenic outdoors in. Watch for passing whales and harbor seals from a seat on the sectional sofa, warm yourself by the rustic wood stove, or play a DVD favorite on the retractable flatscreen TV.
The full kitchen enjoys a panoramic view of both the ocean and the living room, while a variety of cooking tools makes meal preparation easy and relaxing. You'll find an open dining room with seating for six, as well as a dishwasher to take care of the after-dinner chores. A grill outside offers opportunities for barbecues on sunny days.
Watch the sun go down each evening from the comfort of a lounge chair on the deck, or gather your family around the picnic table for a high-stakes game of poker. And there's no better way to enjoy the brisk coastal breezes than from the warmth of the ocean-facing hot tub.
Without cable service or WiFi, the Friederichs' Beach House encourages its guests to comb the nearby ocean beach or take a scenic drive along California Highway One. And don't worry about keeping your clothes salt- and sand-free - there's a private washer and dryer, as well as a convenient half-bathroom, in the garage.
No matter your outdoor interests, Manchester is an ideal home base for fishing enthusiasts, abalone divers, hikers, and motorists. Take in one of the most beautiful sunset views in California at the Point Arena Lighthouse just ten miles south, or stop by Manchester State Park to find five miles of sandy beach and fields of seasonal wildflowers.
Escape the crowds and enjoy the natural beauty of the Northern California Coast today!

Love the view, the house, quietness (except the ocean) always just what I want!

We have been coming to Irish Beach for years and love this house. The views from the house are spectacular. The hot tub is great for relaxing at the end of the day and star gazing at night. We will be back!

Been going there for years; almost any time of the year. Have tried other houses at Irish Beach in Manchester but this house is my favorite.

Vacasa did not keep things as they were before. Here is what we found:
Light in tub area is out
Leak when running tub with shower nozzle
Cheap towels in bathroom
Cheap toilet
Cheap Paper/ paper towels
Only one roll of paper towel
Nothing in kitchen for storing extra
Food
This is absolutely NO reflection on the FRIEDERICKS and their home. Just the property management.

For as much money as we spent, there should have been Internet. There was only one pan to cook with we had to ask for more. The hot tub was dirty, and the water was very low. The views were tremendous, and it was a very beautiful home just those three things could’ve made it excellent.

4 of us had a good stay for a couple of nights, loving the location, the views, the BBQ and loads of great films! Unfortunately though, the house needs some love and attention, and could do with a deep clean. The hot tub is in a great location but sadly smelled as though it hadn't been cleaned in a few visits. There's cobwebs in corners, lots of dust around, and an ant problem in the kitchen - all in all I think the expectation is that it'd be cleaned more thoroughly and more regularly than it is.

My girlfriends and I just finished a 3 night stay for our annual girls trip. The open living/dining space combined with all the windows with beautiful views made for unforgettable memories chatting, laughing and playing games. The walk to the member's only beach allowed us to enjoy the lovely scenery and take amazing pictures. We ate all our meals at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed. Be mindful of grocery stores if you intend to eat at the house. We did most of our shopping in Healdsburg (2 hours away) on our way in. The second day, we needed just a few things and found the little market in town to be quite pricey! When it comes to sleeping arrangements, we loved that every room had a view but we not expecting the situation in the loft. First, you should know getting up to the loft, you need to use a slightly questionable ladder that gave off loud metallic bangs when people went up and down. This was especially problematic when people up there need to use the restroom in the middle of the night. Additionally, the listing says two twin beds but it is two twin mattresses on the floor. Lastly, when we arrived, the hot tub was open and running with the water line below the jets. We had to add cold water to raise the water line which made the hot tub unusable that evening. All in all, we had a good time!!

Surprised my husband for his 60th and wow!!! This place was amazing! The view was incredible. The house was cozy and had all the amenities. Location was easy to access. Private hot tub with an ocean view….beautiful! Look forward to our next visit.
4.7
Lovely location! House is beautiful. Only suggestions would be to have a binder of something that helps locate things in the house. The tv for example is in a cupboard. There is no WiFi but that isnt a huge deal. The bathroom door was broken, but again-not a huge deal.
We had a great time and would love to come back.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. We loved the views of the ocean, the incredible star gazing, the art on the walls, and the personal touches that show this is a loved home. The only down side was there was an ANT problem going on during our stay, so we spent a LOT of time cleaning to avoid a full scale ant invasion. The hosts will hopefully resolve that issue for future guests.
4.7
I loved the views and this home has the potential of being great. We had issues with the heat not working the first night. It was very cold. There was no service or wifi and I did not realize that. That was ok the worst were the spiders. There were cobwebs throughout the home. On the walls in each closet. You pay a good amount for cleaning fees so it was disappointing to see that the home was topically cleaned and with the vents filled with dust, cobwebs and the dishes we went to use had dried food on them it was not pleasant. My son woke up with spider bites the first night we stayed. I called to get assistance and help but had issues connecting.

The view, the wood burning stove, and the DVD collection.

Perfect getaway in a remote part of the north coast. If you want the Big Sur experience without the hype and waitlists this is the place to go.
4.7
Perfection. An inspiring blend of elegant comfort, breath-taking ocean views, invigorating day trips up and down the coast, a private beach(!), a gourmet kitchen that we used liberally and restaurants from Ft. Bragg to Pt. Arena were sensational. No WiFi lended itself to quiet and tranquility and no laundry meant we needed to be conservative, 🙂. Simply a deliciously magnificent stay. Thank you.

House was great, no complaints.
Vacasa had misrepresented aspects of the rental. Sorting this out was a nightmare and took from our vacation. Vacasa took a relatively small issue and made it into a huge hassle and wasted most of a day bouncing me around various "managers" in their organization. Big waste of energy and the last thing you want to be doing on your vacation.
Left the same review on their site when prompted and they did not post it, so take that 5-star average with a grain of salt.
Avoid Vacasa.

The house was great, our group of 2 families (2 adults + 2 kids each) were all comfortable. It was an excellent home base for exploring the coast.

The house was set up very well and comfortable for our family group. The location was beautiful with views of the ocean, beach, and/or landscaping from every room, with many birds and deer around. The kitchen well supplied and everything was easy to locate. The BBQ is well maintained and is on the same deck as the hot tub. If your group has very different sleep schedules be aware that the wood floors naturally creak and that could be hard to sleep through if someone else is walking around.

The ocean views and private beach near this property are incredible and made for an amazing stay. The neighborhood is quiet and serene, we had deer visit the back yard almost every day! The fireplace and atmosphere in the home is so cozy and inviting. An absolute gem for a relaxing getaway.

We decided to get away for our 37th anniversary. Picked the Manchester area and booked your home. The home was wonderful and the views spectacular. The home was very well thought out. All conveniences of home. The spa on the deck was great where we look over the ocean at sunset and star gaze at night. It was a fabulous trip.Thank YouMason

This was the perfect family getaway. Very clean and you definitely felt the love that the owners have. Flying kites at the beach, watching the whales and seeing shooting stars from the hot tub. Probably not the best place to be during a once in a lifetime presidential election. Felt like I was coming out of a cave when we finally got news. We always bring our own sharpe knives and wine glasses so glad that we did. No small sauce pans so it was weird using a fry pan to make a cup of tea but very minor complaints. Looking forward to returning. The view alone was breathtaking.

Great location for a quiet get-away
This house was really nice. Beautiful views, and the actual layout of the house was very thoughtful. Wide open living area / kitchen / dining that look out and connect to nice deck with hot tub (that we were not allowed to use due to Covid), all with spectacular views looking south over Irish Beach. The bedrooms are all tucked in the back, which is nice when a kid is sleeping but parents are awake, but the rooms are staggered so that they still all have ocean view windows. As with the other rentals in this community, you get access card for the private beach, which is lovely. It's a bit sketchy for swimming, but gorgeous for walks, reading a book, building driftwood shacks, or just staring off over the pacific. No WiFi, but a huge collection of DVDs, books, and board games.
The only thing I would say is that isn't 100% perfect: the Master bedroom definitely could fit a king size bed, which would be great, but that wasn't a big deal and certainly shouldn't stop anyone from staying here.
