This place was well kept and had all the necessities and more. It has no air conditioning, but being on the coast it wasn’t a problem. Will definitely stay here again.

Awesome location, location, location. Beautiful relaxing backyard and deck.
Great response and resolution from local support when an issue arose regarding lack of water pressure. Thank you for the rapid response and resolution.
We did enjoy the home, however, some furniture is dated and needs to be repaired or replaced. The bed in the room over the garage is really sagging, there is no closet in the that room or a dresser to put your clothes in, so the occupants staying in that room had to live out of their suitcases. The bed in the room with the foosball table sags even more. There are not enough comfortable places to sit for the number of people allowed to stay in the home in the either the main living room of in the sitting area in the kitchen/dining room. With our party of 6, someone was having to sit on the floor when it came time for just kick back and relax inside when it got a little chilly outside. The appliances, specifically the stove top and the oven could use some updating too.
If the furniture is updated, we would stay there again.

We've rented this house before. You can't beat the location and views but the house really needs updating. The bed linens are cheap and ugly, ripped upholstery, stained carpet, cheap pots and pans that need to be replaced. This house could really be fabulous if a fairly small investment was made in updating the bedding, linens, etc. Also, the eco-friendly dry pods of shampoo/conditioner, body wash are awful! Bring your own products if you rent this place.

We would stay here again. The location was fabulous. The kitchen had an excellent selection of usable stuff for us. We bring partially prepped food to cook our own meals. The backyard garden is stunning. Our kids loved the game table upstairs.
The lock box was difficult to get the key out of. It took 3 of us to eventually get it open.
I would classify this as a "cabin" quality vrbo. Furniture is battered and some of it has holes in the fabric. The white furnature is discolored. The up stairs bed is very hard my in-laws would not have been able to sleep on it. Its dated, old, and a little dingy like a cabin. Visible water stains on ceiling and the blinds were caked with dust. It's definitely corporate owned and operated... so it doesn't get the TLC a proud homeowner would give.
Nevertheless, I have stayed in these types of vrbos before and would continue to do so. We loved our stay and would gladly stay here again. I just wanted to be honest about the overall state of the place.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our family. The location was great.

We have rented this property for the last 5 yrs.; however, the poor condition of this house is forcing us to look into others. A little TLC & maintenance would go a long way. You can't beat the location of view from this house.

Vista del Mar is a beautiful home right on the beach.
Vista del Mar is very nicely furnished house.
Great BBQ in the backyard and a wonderful sitting deck on the front of the house to watch awesome sunsets.

The location of this beautiful and spacious home cannot be beat. We loved everything about it: of course the ocean right outside our front door, but also the amenities, the beautiful yard, and the privacy. Each couple / person has their own space, and their own bathroom, and the shared spaces are wonderfully appointed. This home is pure luxury!

It was so close to walking trails & the ocean! Lovely home! Well equipped kitchen.

We so loved this house, the property and the setting. Everything was so perfect that we wouldn’t change a thing except make it a dog-friendly rental so we can bring our pooches next year!
Thank you for supplying us with precious memories: sunsets from the deck with wine & cheese, deer sightings under the giant cedars, long morning walks along the ocean trail, movie nights curled up in the cozy den and falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves. It was all so wonderful. We will be back, dogs or no dogs!

This is our second time staying here and we plan to return! The home is in the best location ever, directly across from the beach, and on a quiet street. It has a gorgeous backyard and stunning ocean views from the kitchen and front room. There were plenty of clean towels, extra blankets, fans, etc. We loved the layout with the extra "wing" apart from the main rooms (which is where our daughter, SIL, and grandkids slept). The windows need some TLC, but other than that, it's in great shape.

I booked this lovely home for my birthday. I like to dedicate a few times a year where my family and I can all unwind and just spend time together. Vista Del Mar was the perfect stay with a breathtaking view!

Perfectly relaxing, beautiful views and great location to town. We went kayaking and wine tasting and truly enjoyed our visit.

The house was wonderful, great views, comfortable beds, spacious, and a great location. my only issues is with the managment company. Outside trash was left full as was the recycle at the beginning of our stay so we had no place to put the trach and recycle, and the dryer distroyed some of our cloths due to a broken piece, not a fault of the owners. We truly loved the house. Thank you owners for sharing.

This beautiful home is in a great location. The backyard is amazing and we enjoyed sitting in the morning sun reading and/or having coffee while taking in the seclusion and beauty of the yard. Then in the evening whether from the kitchen while cooking or the front deck afterward the sunsets were amazing and we loved the crash of the waves.

Great location across the street from the beach and a great walking trail. Location is close to attractions in Fort Bragg and Mendocino.

This place was perfect for my Mom's birthday getaway. You pretty much have a view of the ocean from most rooms. The kitchen has plenty of room for cooking and all the necessities. Just needed to bring our own spices and tinfoil/plastic wrap and storage items. The backyard is a slice of heaven, so peaceful and perfect for littles to play. We brought our corn hole game and it was perfect to play and eat out on the deck. The front deck is perfect for whale watching and to see the sunset. If it's too cold, just go inside to the front living room and you won't miss a thing. The rooms are well stocked with bedding and pillows, plus extra if needed. We will definitely stay here again!

plenty of room inside and out. wonderful setting and just across the street from the beach

This was our 4th time staying here & you just can't beat the view or location. We love having the beach & bike/walking path across the street! And the backyard is perfect for kids! But make sure you bring everything you need for cooking, including salt & pepper. It would be nice if they updated it a bit and added front deck furniture. But again, it's all about the location!
4.8
Very spacious home, great location facing the beach for a relaxing evening watching the sun go down. Comfortable accommodates 8-10 guests. Huge backyard if you have kids or want to have a get together with comfortable seating

The title says it all. This is a class A property.

Every window has a fantastic view. Our stay was absolutely fabulous. Will be returning again and again. Please note that the three stairs to the main floor living room and downstairs bedroom (everything is at a slightly different height than the entrance) and the two to the kitchen are all quite steep and no sturdy disabled hand rail is available, which was a challenge for a disabled member of our party. Other than that, this could not possibly have been more perfect.

Very peaceful scenery and beautifully landscaped yard. The beach and walking trail were so close. Very enjoyable stay.

Great House Steps from the Beach
We had a family celebration of a 50th wedding anniversary and Vista del Mar was great. The two master suites worked well for the two couples and the wing over the garage with the game room was great for the kids. Kitchen was airy and functional with all the basics, heated floor in the upstairs master bath a nice touch. The back yard was well protected from the wind and we enjoyed a nice sunny lunch on the back deck. Overall, very nice!
