About this house rental
THE VIEWS DO NOT GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS! The pictures give you some idea of the magnitude of the view down the coast, but to a tee, guests say it doesn't match seeing it in person.
When you walk in the front door, my best description is that it's like looking out of a cruise ship that docked on a private cove. With Russian Gulch State Park as our neighbor, you have a unobstructed view all the way down the coast to the Mendocino Headlands! Stormy days are majestic as you sit and watch the coastline explode as far as the eye can see. Sit outside on our large deck overlooking ocean and hear nothing but the waves while watching the migration of the gray whales, or relax in the hot tub with the same commanding views. We added a downstairs patio complete with a fire pit. Yet you are only 5 minutes from downtown Mendocino, full of great shopping, restaurants and nightlife. Russian Gulch State park is less than 1/2 mile from the house where you can hang out at their beach, Kayak the coves, or hike the trails to waterfalls. Take a stroll to the Pt. Cabrillo Lighthouse or a little further brings you to Caspar Beach where you can surf, kayak or simply lay back on the large sandy beach.
Back at our home, we have all the amenities you will need, from a full kitchen, cable TV, stereo, VCR, DVD, to a game room complete with a pool table, antique slot machines, corn hole and giant Jinga sets.
Build a fire, turn on our funky fish lights (By artist Doug Rathbun), pour a libation and enjoy. Stroll downstairs to the game room and enjoy a game of pool, or walk outside to the hot tub that is situated with the same commanding views and look at the stars overhead. This place is truly special, no doubt about it. From its unassuming exterior to the warm amenities inside, we guarantee the place will take your breath away.
A little update. At this point we've owned the place for some 11 years (2011-2022) I still get chill's every time I enter the home. The views are commanding. You'd be hard pressed to find a better location. It literally takes 5 minutes to get to downtown Mendocino. There you will find a historic town ripe with restaurants, shopping, grocery store and a museum. 6 miles north you will find Ft. Bragg with all the above plus a harbor that offers fishing and whale watching. Don't miss the Skunk Train.
Welcome to Pelican Point.
You will love it, ...I guarantee it!

We've stayed in Mendocino every year for the past 16 years, and this home has the best ocean views by far. The eclectic art was great to see and admire. However, the home needs a little TLC. Also, this is just me, but the towel material is not common. I have never stayed in a house that had microfiber towels, so it was strange tactile-wise for us. Just a short jaunt to the town of Mendocino (4 min or so).

The house was perfect and beautifully appointed with wonderful art work. We were close to all the places that we wanted to experience: biking along the Big River, hiking , fishing for rockfish, sea kayaking, and visiting town for a little shopping and dining. The hot tub was a welcome tonic for sore muscles, and the view was fantastic. Our 9 year old granddaughter is a competitive swimmer, so we were fortunate to be able to watch the Olympic trials on TV. Plus grandpa taught her how to play pool. Only suggestion: the water filter on the fridge needs replacing if that's what the red light means. Thanks, Don, for a memorable stay.

This home is a great vacation spot. The home feels like a cabin, but is very large to give everyone space. We sat on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding green. We also enjoyed using the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked and the home is perfect for groups of 6 to 8 people. Be aware that there is no laundry access so pack accordingly. This was a spectacular home in one of my favorite places on earth and made for a wonderful week at the coast.

The online photos do not do this amazing place justice … exceeding our expectations, we were thrilled with the wonderful ocean views and delighted with the eclectic and fun decor.
This home has “wow” ocean views and extraordinary metal art inside and out.
We star/moon gazed each night while also listening to the waves breaking from the warm comfort of the ocean front hot tub.
It was a special occasion for us and staying at this unique home only enhanced our anniversary experience.
5 stars and would highly recommend this neat home and friendly homeowner to anyone that wants to enjoy a memorable stay in Mendocino.

The ocean and coast views are absolutely incredible and the location is perfect - a super quick drive south gets you to Mendocino's little town and Fort Bragg is about 15 minutes drive north. The home was also amazing: super fun and eclectic, comfortable, clean, and has literally everything you need. Every aspect of this home was welcoming and extremely well thought out. Definitely book this property for an unforgettable stay on the Mendocino coast!

We decided to go in a day early. The host don was easy to work with and to contact. 5-star host. View and location were unbeatable. It was stormy that week but with all the glass it made it even better. We will be back to Dons awesome home.

Superb location, ample space and amenities, a surplus of kitchen gadgets and a plethora of whimsical lamps and light fixtures plus a fine assortment of guitars. So much to spark the imagination about the hosts identity making it near impossible to not have a good time.

Breathtaking views! Don was very helpful and responded to me immediately about my questions. He gave me very helpful tips for dining and shopping in Mendocino and Fort Bragg.
An amazing vacation spot for the entire family. My friends are going to rent this home, as well as my brother and myself again next year. Thanks, Don!

This spacious house is perfectly appointed with all you will need for your stay. The location could not be better. It's private but a short drive to town and adjacent to beautiful parks. The decor is older but in good condition. We were a party of six but at least two more could have stayed with us in the plentiful accommodations.

Pelican Point was a perfect place for our family vacation. This comfortably large, well-equipped, unique house, with its beautiful views throughout, and it’s unique fascinating art, made for a wonderful family vacation. Don, the owner, has furnished the house with everything we could have possibly needed. Mendocino has always been our go-to place to relax and nourish the soul. We will definitely be back, hopefully sooner than later!

My wife and I have stayed at many beautiful Mendocino Vacation Rentals in the past, but the Pelican Point Rental takes the cake.
From the moment we pulled onto the quiet neighborhood road just off Hwy 1, there was no denying we had arrived at our new favorite getaway.
The entire neighborhood is peaceful and serene, with all of the homes sitting on ample property throughout the natural landscaped bluff - offering lots of privacy and an overall feeling of safety. We enjoyed morning walks through the neighborhood and seeing ocean views peak through the giant cypress trees while admiring the other beautiful homes.
The Pelican Point Rental itself is clean, inviting and cozy, without feeling sterile and bare like some rentals we’ve experienced.
We loved the big ocean facing windows in the master bedroom and livingroom. The eclectic decor gave the space even more personality, and seeing so many great guitars on display were a treat, as my wife and I are both musicians.
The hottub was definitely where we spent most of our time, with the ocean views and music in the background it felt like we were on our own private island. Heavenly!
We love visiting the Mendocino Village yearly, and plan on rebooking our future visits exclusively at Pelican Point(if it’s available!).
It’s truly a special place with lots of personality, comfort, and a spectacular location.

Our family of 6 including tweens and teens, loved this property! The rich history through the owner’s art is fun to explore and learn. The property is gorgeous with sweeping views of the ocean and perfectly manicured landscaping. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked for a home cooked meal. There were just too many incredible things to explore along the coastline before we had to leave. Phenomenal stop on a PCH road trip.

What a cool, soulful, eclectic house. We felt so at home, lots of room for our whole family. Beautiful place to connect and make wonderful family memories. My husband and I have stayed at many vacation homes along Cali. Northern Coast and I have to say Pelican Point is our favorite! We would love to stay again! Thank you so much Don for sharing your home!

We chose Mendocino for a family celebration for my husband's 70th birthday. When we saw photos of Pelican Point, he said, "That's it!", and it was. The views are spectacular, the spaciousness of the house is great and the ambiance of the decor was just perfect for my guy. Great communication with Don, the owner! We look forward to another stay down the line. Thank you!

Amazing views! We had a great time at this house for Thanksgiving! It was hard to want to leave the house at all with such beautiful views. The house was fully stocked! More than enough room for eight adults and one child. The owner was extremely responsive with responding. We used the spa one night but never got around to using the fire pit. We looks forward to staying here again in the future!

We really loved our stay at this amazing space! The deck is giant, the view spectacular and I could prepare a gourmet meal for 20 in this kitchen, no problem. Best equipped home I have ever rented. The roof over the game room was being worked on and we had a high wind rain storm which caused a leak, but the owner was on it immediately. I would definitely rent this house again.

We had a wonderful time. Our kids loved running around outside, lots of wildlife sightings (an osprey, mama deer with two babies, turkeys...) and the upper deck with super comfy chairs was perfect for lazy coffee chat with old friends. There was enough room for two families to be super comfortable.

A great house that matches the beauty of its prime perch on a bluff above the Mendocino coast. Lots of quirky and fun art, many amenities, and an expansive deck with views that kept us out there hour upon hour. Excellent central location, too, with easy access to Russian Gulch State Park, Jug Handle State Reserve, the town of Mendocino, etc.
