We met our adult daughters at Seal Rock for five days over Christmas. It exceeded our expectations by a long shot. The home is cozy and had everything we needed. If you enjoy exploring rocky seashores then this is the place for you! Only 8-10 minutes from Mendocino and some of the most gorgeous landscape we've ever seen. The property manager was so responsive and we truly couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and fun place to spend the holidays.

Our family had a fabulous experience in this amazing home. The ocean views and location were even better than we'd hoped for! The house is clean, beautiful, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. Elizabeth was immediately responsive to our needs. We hope to return for more sunsets on the deck someday.

Amazing home and location with views like nothing else.

We loved our stay at Seal Reef. The house was steps from the water, so we had the soothing sound of the surf through our windows each night. The house itself was excellent - roomy, clean and beautifully appointed. The kitchen had everything you would need (the 4 of us cooked dinner in one night). Even the art on the walls was impressive. It was also very nice to look out on the local resident seals each morning, sunning themselves on the rocks just a stone's throw away. We will return!

This was one of my all time favorite vacations. The house was beautiful well stocked. Very clean. My favorite was the view and privacy. Loved it! Hope to go again.

Amazing house overlooking the water. Immaculate and very comfortable. We could not get enough of watching the seals every morning.

Great location, clean property, convenient and beautiful.

This property is just stunning. The view is more beautiful than in the pictures and the home is just lovely. Elizabeth was so helpful and made our stay just perfect. This is an absolute gem and we can't wait to come back. Couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Our first night was a little glitchy; all of the instructions stated that the host would meet us at check-in time to provide us with keys and a tour of the home. When we arrived we couldn’t get ahold of the host and waited for around 30 minutes before we looked for a key and let ourselves in. We arrived just before dinner time, so when it came time to cook, we got out the marinated meat that my father had planned to grill but found that the grill wasn’t working. At the end of dinner, after we had been enjoying the beautiful sunset in the dining room, we tried shutting the double doors and realized that the hinges were bent and rusted and wouldn’t shut. We called Beth and she came over right away. We got the doors shut and didn’t use those doors again the rest of the week. She also brought over a new grill the next morning for us and we used it every night the rest of the week. Beth was very accommodating to our family’s needs when we found out at the last minute that our 9 year old nephew would be with us, and grateful that he was welcomed into the home despite their no children rule. The home is beautiful and comfortable, positioned atop the bluffs with an incredible view of the ocean and sunsets. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, however there is a new home being constructed next door so if you visit in the next several months be prepared for construction noise. It is 5 mins to Mendo, and 10 to FB. We loved our stay and will definitely be back again!

Beautiful property. Totally enjoyed out stay!

Beautiful views and sounds of the sea

Property was in good shape even though our host had to clean house because of weather. The host was excellent and brought fresh food for fireplace twice. He house needs better lighting especially in the kitchen. The weather was so wild that my son had to switch rooms because he was afraid the window in his bedroom was about to break. A nice place, but wild weather.

Loved this rental. Simple, elegant, warm and homey. Easy check in and check out, given greater latitude on timing when available;; wood burning fireplace plus fire pit out on the back bluff overlooking the ocean. Did I already say STUNNING views. Great hiking trails, a waterfall, beaches. We visited the cute little town a car ride (3 to 5 minutes away) for some great dining on two nights, the local pub, Patterson’s, and the Italian restaurant, Luna…? Both were wonderful for our different moods and tastes those nights. Luna (something) had outdoor seating with nice heat lamps and a single musician playing our favorite mellow music. The house had games and puzzles, and just one TV in the central, family room. Well equipped kitchen with a gas burning stove and basic condiments for easy cooking. Just lovely. Connectivity was spotty but not impossible. We had 5 days of peace, reading, watching movies, playing games, hiking, exploring the town. Wine tasting is nearby for those interested. And the market in town was wonderful! A pleasant surprise. I’d return in a heartbeat. Had 5 nights. Could have used 10 to get all the knots out!

I was absolutely floored when Elizabeth showed me the house. It is over the top beautiful. The location - how can you go wrong with ocean views in almost every single room. My husband and I needed to get away quickly. My dog had just passed away and I needed to be in a place where I felt comfortable and could try to process his loss. Elizabeth was SO friendly and caring. I can't say enough good things about her. The house is just spectacular. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. In fact, I did prepare a very special meal and the whole time I was mesmerized by the ocean views, the trees and the overall natural landscaping as I was working in the kitchen. I will end on this. I've been staying at high end houses for a long time throughout the years. Only twice have I felt the need to leave the house sparkling clean the day we left so that A) I would be welcomed back but B) to give the house the respect it deserves. This was really a dream house and I would love to come back.

Loved the house and location. Check-in and checkout were easy. House is very well maintained and cleaned. Very comfortable and you just can’t beat waking up with a view of the ocean.

In a word this rental was PERFECT!! Elizabeth, the manager, was personable and attentive to all our needs. The view from the house is awesome. Overall, a great getaway.

We love this beach house so much! We just stayed there for the second time and it was every bit as amazing as the first time. Aside from the phenomenal location and views, the house is well equipped, immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The owners have thought of everything and the property manager is great to work with. We can’t wait to go back next year!

Everything was as stated and reviews were spot on - including the one about replacing the sofa. (HeHe) However, still possibly the nicest place I’ve stayed thru VRBO!

The property was simply perfect - the view and proximity to the crashing waves was amazing, sound, smell, feeling was unbeatable. The house is so well appointed, great kitchen, comfortable beds, amazing deck looking over the sea, and wonderful location - remote and private, but perfectly close to Mendocino and Russian Gulch State Park. Literally unbeatable.

There is nothing as wonderful as listening to the sound of crashing waves while going to sleep. Seal Reef is exactly as portrayed on the website. We had 6 great days and would highly recommend to others.

We are a couple weeks past when we stayed at the property and we are still talking about it (and our deal friends)! Beautiful and very relaxing.

This is our second visit to Seal Reef. The location, views, condition of the home, and privacy are exceptional. The home is very close to the Town of Mendocino but situated in a lovely open area that faces the ocean. We watched seals form the living room windows and listened to the waves roll in. So peaceful! We are already looking forward to our next trip to Seal Reef.

Looking out over the ocean, this might be the most beautiful setting in Mendocino. The website accurately portrays the property and the manager Elizabeth was terrific.

Our family just enjoyed a week at Seal Reef. Elizabeth was so kind and helpful. She met us at the location upon arrival. The home is beyond comfortable. We all slept wonderful in the beds. Usually, we like to get out and explore the area during our vacations. We found ourselves not wanting to leave the home. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use. We had fabulous weather and the view was the best. Our family enjoyed the comfortable seating in the main living room. We would recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit this area.

The house was perfect for our small group of friends (two couples, one single). It was spotless, comfortable and beautifully decorated. But the best part was the amazing location, overlooking the ocean. We had wonderful views of the sea and the seals that hang out on the rocks below. We loved every second!

We were two 50+ couples… and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Seal Reef! The house was spotless and decorated to the nines! The view was amazing. We saw (and heard!) seals and deer on a daily basis. Great manager… Elizabeth rocks! The village of Mendocino is a quick drive away, with tons of charming places to shop and eat. The beds were super comfy, the kitchen (truly) fully stocked, and there was a ton of room inside and out to enjoy a relaxing stay. And let me emphasize again — spotlessly clean! And always a nice plus — Washer/Dryer were full size and worked perfectly.

This was a wonderful retreat. It was prefect to enjoy the sounds of the surf, view the seals and other wildlife. The house was comfortable and well equipped. All agreed that the beds were comfortable and so was the living room seating. Thanks to Elizabeth for her efforts to meet our needs. Mendocino and Ft. Bragg we’re lovely as usual. Loved the lack of crowds during the week.

This is our third time staying at Seal Reef and is only getting better. The view, the house, the neighborhood, deer and seals and list goes on.. we will be back
