A perfect stay. Amazing location. Incredible views. Cozy, clean, and comfortable bungalow. We loved the private path to the beach, and the hot tub. We didn't need to go anywhere else. Beautiful fenced grassy area for our pup. Thank you for sharing your home!

We had such a lovely stay! We had some rain and some sunshine, and this place was perfect for both. Breathtaking views, a phenomenal trail down to the beach, and just an all-around comfortable place to stay. Thank you for your hospitality!

Warm cosy cottage, with lots of room, fantastic location. Perfect away-from-it-all stay. Lots to see locally or just enjoy being in Driftwood. Lovely cliff top views. Hot tub a plus, Manchester Beach for a beach combing, windy walk, mesmerising surf, just lovely !

We had a great time with our dogs staying at this property. It was fenced in (aside from one small area of brush where there is no fence but not a problem for our dogs - you would want to keep a watch if you have a tiny dog that would try to escape though). The heater worked very efficiently and being able to see the Milky Way and stars at night with the waves crashing was magical. We would love to return!

Driftwood Bungalow is a great place to unwind. We loved the big window's and the back yard. The market/hardware store in Manchester had everything you needed. We found that the Rollervile cafe was a great place to have breakfast.They are only open Wednesday thru sunday. .

Great location with everything you need and more.

Just spent a week enjoying our funky bungalow. Very well stocked home with lots of places to relax. The views are amazing and hearing the surf and watching the stars doesn't get better than this. Will definitely return.

Enjoyed our visit! Would recommend for small groups of 3 or 4. Well stocked, beautiful views, close to market and tourist spots. Nice almost private beach.. not super easy to access.

This cottage is beautiful, clean, so peaceful and wonderful. Good wifi. The only thing is no washer/drier access.

I (dad) am a longtime Mendocino coast visitor. I’ve stayed in the Gualala to Fort Bragg corridor quite a few times and now take my family up there. Driftwood is perfect for little ones. Fenced in back yard overlooking the Pacific. Deer, quails, snakes, caterpillars, seals and hawks to stir the wild thing in them. Plenty of room for 5. Great kitchen with everything needed to throw down a great meal. Just slightly less than absolutely silent and completely dark at night. The property assistant Rose is right next door but you would never know and to top it off a legitimate treee rope swing in front that we wore out. We’ll be back soon.

All great be even better if it had king bed

My dad and our dogs took a little vacation up the coast. The bungalow was cute and right on the ocean. I loved falling asleep with the windows open listening to the waves. There is a nice path that goes down toward the ocean, but you can’t access the beach from it. Nice relaxing place to stay.

We loved this house! Perfect view, lovely house, Rose and Doug were very accommodating after a small mix-up at the beginning. I have stayed at other VRBOs in Manchester, all nice, but Driftwood is definitely my favorite! Amy, Mom & Jennifer

Everything was perfect! The land around the house and down to the water is like nothing else. Everything was so o We will be back!

A cute, cozy bungalow with a view and access to the beach. Very clean and well kept. Great communication with owner and Rose the caretaker, especially when our dog got up close and personal with a skunk in the backyard! Would definitely return!

We were very happy at Driftwood. Rose, the caretaker, was *wonderful*! The house is simple, but enough. We loved our walk down the hill to the creek at twilight. We did a lot of adventuring in the area, and mostly used the house to sleep, and it worked well for us.

The property was great and fits 3 comfortably. We had 4 but we made it work. Loved having a very well stocked grocery store nearby. Hope to come again.

Everything was awesome!

As a couple in our 50s we loved the remoteness and privacy. The cabin was roomy and offered two sitting areas which was great as the light and temperature changed. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils. Location was perfect for those wanting to get out of SF with a reasonable drive-time while still being able to drive north to experience more rugged pacific northwest coastline. Will absolutely return again, and would highly recommend to anyone looking to de-compress and enjoy privacy and nature.

Cute beachy house. Due to log jam you can't really get to the beach. Great if you have a dog with fenced yard.

Comfortable, well appointed house on a bluff overlooking the ocean. A wonderful place to spend a long weekend to rest and refresh!

Great place to enjoy rainy beach weather in the hot tub. Excellent private beach access (with a little log hopping). Well-outfitted cottage, pretty much as described on the VRBO site.

Good value. Master bath could use an upgrade.

The place was very clean and organized with all the items we needed to enjoy our visit. The kitchen was very well stocked and very neatly organized. The views we're fabulous as was the sound of the ocean we could hear as we slept. It was a little on the windy side when we arrived but the gas fireplaces were lit upon our arrive and the house was nicely heated and cozy. We also enjoyed the fenced backyard as we took our 2 dogs and it was nicely fenced and safe. The host Rose was very helpful and kind. We weren't able to get to the ocean from the path due to a large build up of wood from the storms. However, the path out the backyard we'd not recommend for small children as it is a bit steep but I believe there is another path off the front yard. We look forward to recommending the place and appreciate Doug and Rose for making this an enjoy visit.

We loved our stay and enjoyed some beautiful sunsets. Great property with nice beach access.

Cozy old school beach house with a lovely path to the beach. Great fenced yard for the dogs, will definitely return!

Great Quiet Getaway

Our family of four loved our stay here and only wish it could have been longer. The house has lots of space and everything you need, the views and coastal access were even better than we expected (if you don't want to cross the driftwood, which didn't with little kiddos, you just need to go across a very small creek to the beach road), and there's plenty of beautiful hiking trails nearby. We'll definitely be back for another weekend!

A vintage cabin with plenty of living space sited on a bluff with an up close view of the private beach below. Due to a persistent fog layer across coastal California, we didn't have the outstanding view this rental obviously would have offered, but we did walk down the private road leading from the backyard. Never have we seen such a massive pileup of driftwood, making the actual beach not very accessible (as warned in the owners' info manual), but what a rugged, wild place. None the less, our stay was what we prize about this area - affording comfort, solitude, and north coast atmosphere. Additionally, the owner provides an unusually well-labeled and meticulous organization of kitchen, television, light switches, etc. for ease of use.

Bungalow is perfect name. Loved roar of ocean while sitting in hot tub!

Morning sitting out at the point

Owner cancelled on us the day before our check in. He was apologetic and saw that our money was reminded but it was disappointing and caused us difficulty trying to find another rental at the last minute. I gave 3 stars because I have no idea about the property since we dodnt get to stay. 😞
