When I travel with a group, I want the place we stay to be as much of the appeal as the activities we do, and this rental absolutely fit the bill. The panoramic view of the Pacific made even the quiet moments drinking coffee in the morning feel grand and special. We kayaked the Albion River, rode railbikes out of Fort Bragg, and explored Navarro Beach, never having to drive more than 30 min once we were there. Thanks to our hosts for maintaining such a beautiful spot!

Four of us go on a yearly retreat and selected to stay in Albion this year. The location was wonderful and as described on the posting. The kitchen was in great shape and we had everything we needed for cooking our meals, the 4 bedrooms were great for us, we did not have to double up! The property was clean and communication with Peter was great, even though they were out of the country. I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to return.

We had an amazing stay at the Sea and River House for the weekend! We loved the home decor and game room for having some quality family time. The only thing we feel could have made our experience even better was a laundry room, but other than we might just come back soon.

We were in town for a wedding at Cuffey's Cove. The house was located between the venue and Albion CA. What a VIEW!! The house was well stocked with everything you need to make your stay pleasant! Would totally rent again!

My husband and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary by spending three nights at Sea & River House, and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. Perched on a bluff that provides stunning views all day long, this rental property had everything we were looking for. The interior was spotless, beautifully-decorated and included a great kitchen, super comfy beds, a cozy wood-burning stove, and a nice collection of CDs. The upper deck was the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee and a homemade dinner as the sun was setting, and the lower living space was ideal for watching a movie and enjoying the outdoor hot tub. The view from the cliffside bench is outstanding. We bought groceries at the Albion Grocery Store, hiked through a redwood forest at Van Damme State Park, walked along a nearby beach, and had a delicious dinner at the Albion River Inn. We hope to return in the future to luxuriate in this very relaxing home, do more hiking, and rent an outrigger canoe at Catch a Canoe and Bikes Too!

Very comfortable and pleasant place to stay. The scenery was beautiful. Furniture was very comfortable.

The property wasn't that difficult to find. The home is small but had enough room for everyone to sit. Great views of the ocean. Management was very accomadating. Not crazy about the wood paneling throughout. That needs to go.

We had a wonderful time staying at this house! The view is stunning and the house is warm and comfortable, with a good set-up. Communication with the owner was quick and easy, and we had everything we needed - thank you so much for a very enjoyable stay!

Great location and amenities. Nothing beats sitting in a spa with drink and a view of the ocean. Morning, afternoon or evening, it just doesn't matter, the view is spectacular.

Wow.... this beautiful home was perfevt in every way! Spacious, well equipped, cozy/comfy and spotless!!! Did I mention the view yet?? There are views all across the back side of the house. Beautiful grounds to walk around, so many lovely spaces, beautiful artwork and furnishings everywhere and the most comfy beds and pillows I've ever had away fron my own home. SO many extra blankets and towels and EVERYTHING smelled freshly laundered and not musty, ehich I often find at many home rentals. This is my favorite vrbo rental ever! There was also quick and clear communication when I reached out. I'm definitely saving this one to return to 💗

If you’re considering staying here, let me tell you, DO IT. The view alone is honestly priceless. And you can’t even capture its stunning beauty by photograph, you have to feel it, experience it. We chose the downstairs master bedroom to sleep in and it was cozy. I absolutely loved that the hot tub was right outside the sliding glass door. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing during the spectacular sunsets here. There are lovely birds singing throughout the morning, very peaceful. Our favorite part, besides the million dollar view, was observing the cute little momma fox and her fox cub that live nearby. Once we spotted her, we became obsessed with using our binoculars to watch her quietly from inside. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking, I was able to make breakfast a couple of the days we stayed. I spoke to the host on the phone and he was incredibly friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here if you are wanting a peaceful getaway with the absolute best view. I’m so beyond thankful that I discovered this gem!

What a beautiful property. Absolutely everything was well thought out. The hot tub was such a bonus.

Wow! What a great view of the ocean from this house. House was just as advertised. Owner was very responsive via email/text to a refrigerator issue that was resolved as quickly as possible, keeping us in the loop with constant communication. Highly recommend this place as a relaxing visit with great access to Mendocino County.

Well equipped, well located ocean front home in Albion with a spectacular view. Less than 10 miles from Mendocino.

Amazing property with stellar views. Just staying in the property was actually one of the highlights of our vacation. Location is great just within minutes to Albion and Fort Bragg. Just the right amount of distance away from town but still secluded enough to be with nature. It’s so breathtaking would definitely come back again! A place I would keep close to my heart with monumental memories with my partner. Host is communicative and very accommodating and they have a guide book. Place even had wild quails around. They provide wood as well for fireplace. Do yourself a favor and book this. You will not regret. The place had everything. I cooked for our whole stay. Would recommend getting groceries before you head out. If not, Safeway had great selection for seafood and beef but mind you it’s 30 minutes away. Also head out with sunset time in mind because hwy 1 is picturesque but also winding with cliff drops.

We loved this home. Location was perfect. View was beautiful, near to Mendocino which we love and beaches. I and my brothers family loved this place and will be back.

This is our second stay this year. It was perfect in every way! Thanks for having us, and we look forward to visiting again.

My husband and I were in Albion for our 17th anniversary. We enjoy relaxing, cooking and being in a quiet location, with beauty all around, yet close enough to restaurants and some exploring. This home doesn't disappoint. It's a short drive to Mendocino and some state parks if you feel like going out. If you stay in there's a foosball table, games and 3 TV's with Netflix, amazon and more. A fully equipped kitchen, plenty of places to hangout and chill. You can watch the hummingbirds flitter about all day, there's proteas, passion flowers amongst many other beautiful plants around. Then the piece de resistance, the view, amazing. My only complaint is the furniture is not very comfortable but my husband calls my princess and the pea...so. The bedroom downstairs is the best for quiet, peaceful sleep as the bed is very comfortable. Enjoy your stay, we did.

what an extraordinary spot! First the location, although a bit hard to find as there is no gps and little cell strength out in the beyond, was incredible.( print out the directions before you leave and know there are a few "navarro ridges" in the area. The owner thoughtfully notes exact location in instructions and that really helped). The house is very private, not crowded by others, and looks right out at the magnificent Pacific, with sea stacks abounding. Deck was great, sunsets wow!!! saw whales spouting and tails flapping. Kitchen better equipped than my home and I cook a lot! Great living room, comfortable, excellent lighting for reading. Beds very comfortable. Quiet..lovely. Oh, did I mention the stars? We live on the coast but we rarely see stars like this. countless and beautiful. What a fantastic 4 night stay. Decided to take a chance and stay out of Mendocino and towns. What a great idea. Everything you need including great grocery, dining etc in Mendocino or the little store a few miles south in Elk. Can't thank the owners enough. We will be back! Althoughthere was room for at least 6, there were only 2 of us and we didn't use the bottom floor., with its own deck, fridge and game table. Thank you for this great vacation!

Excellent

Enjoyed our 3 night stay on the coast with beautiful scenic views of coastline from the decks. Daily visits from hummingbirds was a plus.

When I travel, I find a central base from which I can explore many points of interest. From the moment we turned into the driveway, it literally took our breath away. And we could have done nothing else but just enjoy our stay and been perfectly content. Mendocino, a short and scenic drive north, was so charming and quaint. Ft Bragg had many amenities & the best fresh seafood for us to take back and cook. Organic produce was plentiful and not too hard to find at area stores. The Point Arena lighthouse and Bowling Ball Beach to the south made for a really fun day trip. Sunsets are dreamy. Signs of deer & sightings of rabbits only added to the whimsy of this place. This place is magical!

A wonderful home full of cool, artsy furniture with wonderful views of Pacific sunsets! A short walk brings you to the edge of the bluff where you have amazing views north and south watching the waves pound against the headlands. Two large decks and a wood burning stove add to the ambience.

The view is amazing and the house highlights it well! We had everything that we needed and communication was clear. If I was in the area I would stay again!

This stay was a birthday trip for my best friend since high school and I (51 years!). The house was cute, quaint and cozy, very clean, plenty of quilts, blankets, pillows and towels. Each bed was wrought iron and had a very pretty quilt on it. It was very well stocked with everything you would need (kitchen, games, books, DVDs, CDs, foosball, hot tub, even a pair of binoculars to view the ocean). It sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean and has a deck we sat on each morning enjoying our coffee. I highly recommend it.

This property has everything going for it -- the location and view, plenty of privacy, plus a clean and comfortable house. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the decor is utterly charming. The decks and hot tub were also fabulous! The owners obviously go out of their way to keep the property well-maintained. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to book again!

The pictures didn't do it justice... our family overwhelmingly loved staying in this property. Amazing views, comfortable furniture, well equipped and fully stocked kitchen, and plenty of books and games and DVDs to keep your family entertained for hours. The outdoor chimenea and indoor wood burning stove worked very well, and we used the hot tub at least once a day. Our only complaint was that the trail down to Navarro beach had damage and was closed so we had to make the 4 minute drive to the parking area. Overall, we absolutely loved this house!

We stayed at this place last year and just loved it. We knew we had to come back. The location can not be beat! Make sure you allow some time to just relax at the place. You'll regret it if you don't. The location is also fantastic for visiting the redwoods and wineries on 128, beautiful state parks like Russian Gulch, lighthouses, bowling ball beach, Mendocino, and Fort Bragg. We had a great meal at Albion River Inn. I know that we'll be back again!

I feel like I should keep this place a secret. A great deal of thought, intelligence, creativity, and talent has clearly been invested in this home. Whimsical aesthetic with beauty everywhere inside and out. Everything you need and just about everything you'd like right where you are looking for it. The views from both decks and the bluff are just stunning and indescribable on a sunny day. Shooting stars, the milky way and and whale spouts were highlights.

This was an amazing house. The views were incredible. The proximity to the beach in so many spectacular views and things to do made this a very special trip for me and my family. The Navarro Beach was super fun for my younger children. The river that did not quite meet the ocean was a great place for my kids to play after a super cold dip in the ocean. The house was cozy but not super fancy or pretentious. We explored the coast both North and south of the location and found amazing things wherever we went. My kids loved the bunnies and the foxes in the evenings. The upper deck facilitated gorgeous views all day long and spectacular sunsets. At night the stars were amazing. We especially loved the lower deck that felt tropical and gave a much-needed respite from the Sun at times. Having a chiminea to use while it was foggy and cold was an added plus. The game room downstairs was great for the kids. The location gave us a chance to explore many fantastic spots within a short drive. I would definitely love to stay here again.

This quiet little gem on the coast was the perfect respite for our family of five. It was immaculate and well-appointed with enough room for each of us to have our own space, but still cozy, allowing us to spend quality time together. The location doesn't get any better. The cabin is unassuming at first sight, but once inside you are surrounded by quintessential Mendocino County style. The redwood paneled walls give the place a rustic Mendo-vibe and an artist's touch is seen throughout the decor and furnishings. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay.

This was one of the most relaxing get always I’ve had. The home was beautiful. Very cozy. The view was incredible. From the ocean to the stars. We couldn’t get enough of it. Beautiful grounds. The Passion flower and all the other plants were a great part of our relaxation. Sitting out on the deck os a must. Watching the sunset from the hot tub is an absolute must. Not too far from town. So that you can do your shopping and walking. From beginning to end, we had a great time.
