LoLLIPoP*Dock & Boats Hot Tub View Fenced Yard
Quintessential Russian River home! From the moment you walk through the gate, you're transported to a lush, private oasis. We loved the variety of seating and decor. Evenings were cozy and we quickly felt at home. Perfectly located for exploring town and unbeatable for birdwatching. We didn’t want to leave. A perfect Airbnb—thank you!

Woodside vacation home at Anchor Bay.
Denise is a fantastic host. Not only is the place gorgeous and accessible, but the amenities are top notch. She's very responsive and accommodating to any of our requests. We celebrated our one year anniversary here after having a great time last year and this could very well be an annual thing, it's very special to us. Hands down, must stay. Thanks for everything Denise!

Sea & River House ocean front near Mendocino
As usual my stay at the SeaRiver house was fantastic. It is by far my favorite place to stay on the north coast . Had amazingly clear weather the first 2 days and nights. The views are unparalleled from the home. I also was able to star gaze the first 2 nights - highly recommend doing this if you are lucky to have a clear night. Peter is an extraordinary host that goes above and beyond if there are any little glitches. 5 stars hardly tells the story of this home.

Coastal Cabin, with king bed, big deck, hot tub
Ryan and James were available and responsive. The cottage was well appointed and immaculate. It was obvious that quite a bit of thought went into the amenities and decor. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The views! Looking over the Russian River where it empties into the Pacific Ocean was awesome! We will be back.

Dillon Beach Nirvana
Patricia's beautiful beach house exceeded our expectations and more! The panoramic ocean views and wrap around deck made us feel like we were floating on the ocean. The home was really well equipped with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the hot tub and playing some games that were available for us to use. We could easily walk to Dillon Beach from the house to enjoy the sunshine. The home was very clean and cozy and Patricia was very kind and responsive. Highly recommend for a family beach vacation.

Cozy Private Home by the Best Beach
A bit more than I usually would pay but the house was perfect for our needs. We used every opportunity the house provided. Internet was spotty most of the visit so I suggest packing a few favorite movies.

Oceanfront Irish Beach, The Buena Vista House
Jen's place was absolutely wonderful. We've stayed in many airbnb's & this is our favorite. The views are literally jaw dropping. The listing pictures are beautiful but don't even do justice to the views. Her home was very comfortable with great linen blend comforters, soft cotton/flannel sheets. The hot tub heats up well to a perfect temperature with an exterior door right beside to the shower. The master bath had wonderful rose scented lotion that I already found online & had some sent to myself! We enjoyed open windows listening to the waves crash below. The full kitchen was well appointed with everything including a hand written pancake recipe on the inside pantry wall & waffle iron as nice touches. Did I mention the views of the ocean from the kitchen too while cooking?! So quiet, peaceful and lots of natural light with all the winows. We enjoyed the wood stove as well. We hope to be back ! Thanks so much Jen & Miles for having us in your gorgeous home! Holly & Jerome Segal

Adorable cottage w/ ocean view, redwoods & hot tub
Karen was an excellent host and her home was comfortable and cozy. There was a bit of a snafu with the cleaners (misread calendar), but Karen respond immediately and resolved the issue (cleaners came out and cleaned the place great and were super apologetic). We loved the location and the beautiful living room, comfortable beds, and hot tub. Our dogs enjoyed the yard and we appreciated that we could bring our dogs with us! We would definitely stay again!
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Tuscan Wine Country Villa with Pool sleeps 6
We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Maurine and the hosts of this AirBNB! This house is truly a gem and exceeded our expectations! We loved everything about this property- from the comfortable, homey setting to the beautiful landscaping and outdoor spaces. Directions and communication were clear and guest friendly. On behalf of the 5 of us, on our girls' getaway, we thank you all wholeheartedly and are already planning on returning next April! Thank you for sharing this truly special home with us. It was a perfect 5 star get-away from beginning to end!

The Beach Chalet
An amazing home with all needed to just relax and enjoy!!

A Slice of Heaven in The Sea Ranch
Anu’s house in the Sea Ranch was perfect for our group. So easy to walk to the bluff trail, well equipped kitchen and gorgeous views of the stars from the hot tub and decks at night. We also really enjoyed the ocean view from the master bedroom and sitting in the sun on the front deck.

Verona: Awesome Views, Pool, Vineyard, Hot Tub!
Place was very beautiful, as well as the views! The house was perfect for the 13 of us plus our 2 dogs, didn’t feel too small or too big. There was lots to do for everyone. The house had everything we needed for our weekend getaway. The swimming pool was our favorite even if it was a bit cold for the weather but temperature ended up being great. My family and I would definitely love to come here again!

Happy House Getaway - Pool, Hot Tub & Wine Country
We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy House! The pool was large and fantastic, perfect for relaxing. The kitchen was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we needed. The house was spotless, and the neighborhood felt quiet and safe. Both the garden and front yard were lovely, and the pool area was especially private thanks to the high fence. Brook was incredibly friendly, always checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay, and promptly answered all our questions. She was very helpful throughout our visit. Highly recommend!

Sebastopol Gem, The Birdhouse. Hottub. Pool. Views
I loved this place. It was beautifully decorated and had amazing views. The pool was an added benefit on hot days! It’s somewhat small for a group because it only has one bedroom but still worth the experience.

Heron House on The Sea Ranch
Wonderful space for 5 friends, a dog and a baby! Gorgeous ocean view, right next to trails, and close to town. Kitchen was well-equipped for cooking on nights in. Main bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the sofa bed easily accommodated a single person. Would definitely stay again!

Ocean Views, Expansive Space, Very Private
We had a wonderful stay! Beautiful ocean views from the living room and sunroom. The garden with Jacuzzi is lovely. Beds were very comfortable and art decor was interesting and cool. Robert was quick to answer any questions we had. We absolutely loved the house and would definitely stay again.
Family-friendly home rentals with a kitchen

The Northbound Whale
This is an extremely peaceful, quiet, and comfortable home. We enjoyed visiting as a family of four with two teenagers. The location is beautiful. Mendocino is a short drive away, and there's a 5-minute walk to the beach. A great place to stay!

Ocean View Spa House
This property is amazing in every way. There’s a view from the ocean from almost every room, beautiful tile work and gorgeous, well appointed bathrooms. A sauna and extra hot hot tub. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The house itself is beautiful with private spaces, but also a large living room where everyone can gather around a beautiful tiled potbelly fireplace. It’s a short walk to the beach through a charming neighborhood. The host Rebekah was very communicative and generous, allowed us flexible, check-in and check out. I will 100% be staying here again.

The Historic Kenney House
I felt like I was Anne of Green Gables on Prince Edward Island. This is the most beautiful place to make family memories. The house, the property, the town, the coast... our expectations were off the chart met. We hope to come back. It is magical and Will was very responsive and helpful.

The Beach House
This home has the most beautiful views and the house is wonderful as well. The furnishings were cozy, clean and comfortable. We had a fantastic stay and wished we could stay longer. Would definitely stay again if we are ever back in the area.
Rural 1 Acre Lakefront Location With Private Beach
We had such a lovely time at Paulette’s. Her house was incredibly clean and so stylish. We wanted a private, quiet and serene getaway and this place was perfect! The views from the back decks are outstanding and pics don’t do it justice! Paulette was super communicative and a wonderful host!

Meadow Wood near Mendocino Village
Our stay at Leona's place was special! Leona and Toby welcomed us warmly and made sure we were set up with a fire in our cozy cabin. The place was comfortable and adequately equipped with epic views out every window. Our cabin was beautifully situated on a stunning parcel of preserved Redwood forest, with meadowlands and a picturesque pond with migrating geese. It was a real treat to spend some time with Leona and Toby, learning about them, their deep wisdom and local lore. Knowing that the cabin we stayed in and other structures on the property had been designed and built by Leona made this stay all the more magical and inspiring. We hope to visit Leona Lane again soon! Thank you again!

Cosmo Beach: Riverfront Sanctuary
We loved the property and its proximity to the water and two large beaches. The house itself is thoughtfully decorated and has the furnishings and supplies just like it would if someone actually lived there rather than the typical Airbnb “shell” that only has the bare necessities (or less). We did have an unfortunate complication that occurred when we arrived. Things happen, but what matters more than anything is how a host handles an unexpected event. Jay was kind, understanding, and empathetic and did everything needed to make things right. We will absolutely be back.

Great couple getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mara's Air Bnb. The home was spotlessly clean, spacious, and peaceful. Beautiful plants and flowers inside and outside. When Mara learned that we planned to visit the Mendocino Botanical Gardens, she generously offered us some free tickets that she had. The gardens were so close by and very lovely. We needed to wash some clothes, so we really appreciated that the home had a washer and dryer (plus complimentary laundry soap). We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.
