About this house rental

Perched on a bluff at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, Grandma’s Beach Cottage offers unobstructed white water views that cannot be improved upon. She sure knew how to pick em’ - this house could not be better placed! It is one of only three homes located inside the private gated entrance to Irish Beach’s exclusive beach access and looks right down the beach to the western most point of the lower 48 – the Point Arena Lighthouse. Grandma was very unpretentious and so is her house; she built the first home in Irish Beach with 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, constructed of solid core redwood (no paneling here!) with lots of windows to soak up the view and a fully equipped kitchen. Grandma didn’t want us kids sitting around a TV when there was exploring to be done outside, nor was she going to be inside doing laundry. You will not find a TV or laundry facility in this house! She didn’t really know how to use a computer, but yes our house is equipped with wifi. I think Grandma must have been a romantic, because her house sure puts you in the mood. With a glass of wine in front of the fire and the constant sound of the crashing waves, honey by my side, well... I just can’t think of anything better! If you love long walks on the beach, and natures wondrous scenery I think you too will love Grandma’s Beach Cottage.
Please note that you will need to bring your own bed sheets and towels.
Please note that this property may not be well suited for folks with physical limitations for walking on steep hills .

Beautiful, peaceful, quite. Definitely a place stay if you need to recharge. Nothing better than sitting in bed drinking coffee and starting at the ocean.

We look forward to staying here every year and now it feels so wonderfully familiar, it is like coming home. We come in early September and it is usually sunny. This year it was mostly foggy much of the day after clear mornings, except for today, which was gorgeous from the outset. What is wonderful is wether overcast or sunny is that the beach is always amazing. Having it be a bit grey gave us an excuse to read, which we love, nap , cook , ( the kitchen is great) enjoy the wonderful fireplace, play some music, and walk and enjoy the solitude of the quiet beach. We took our bikes and rode up Big River trail which is very doable through 2nd growth redwoods, right before Mendocino. We also drove to Ledfords in Albion for a wonderful very special dinner with an ocean view table. Another memorable September get away. So very grateful for Grandmas very very special beach cottage in our lives. Thank you Jennifer, for being such an incredible host. -Tim and Mary

Lovely cottage with incredible views of the ocean. Great time for relaxation and beachwalks. Nightly views of deer. We even saw a bobcat!

This was our first stay (5 days) at the cottage, amd we thoroughly enjoyed it. The view from the cottage is amazing, and there is total privacy from neighbors. We took advantage of the local trailride business and had a great horseback ride on the beach.

Everything about this property was exactly what we wanted. The look, the feel, even the smell (in a good way), made us feel like we were family members visiting our Grandma's cottage on the coast. Views and access to the private beach were AMAZING! Only one inconvenience was the lack of nearby restaurants for dinner - we managed with the two that were open in Point Arena (pizza and the Pier Place). But, next time, we'll plan on doing more cooking and grilling on our own, in the well-equipped kitchen. Thanks again, for sharing this wonderful family treasure with us!

What a wonderful place to stay! The house is very cute and comfortable, and the view is like no other. We especially enjoyed sitting outside, the sound of the ocean, and the seclusion. The kitchen is well stocked and a pleasure to cook meals in, and we had everything we needed. Bringing our own sheets and towels was not a problem (we picked up sheets at the Windsor Walmart on our way up.) Jennifer is a gem of an owner who is very helpful, and communication with her is always easy and pleasant. We came home and immediately rebooked for another stay -- and this time, added another day! We can't wait to return.
