Waterfront holiday rentals in Mendocino County

We were lucky to find the perfect time for staying at this beautiful spot. It was a great location, with parking off the street, access to nearby headland trails- while still being walkable to the rest of town. Our host, Mary was the very picture of hospitality- reaching out to us to coordinate our arrival after a delay driving through the Bay Area; then again intermittently checking in with us to make sure there were no problems. Prior to our stay, she was also very helpful and listed recommendations on places to eat. We had a wonderful stay and intend to return to enjoy the lovely views and relaxing environment we find ourselves wishing we could live in full time.

Follow the instructions to the tee when you arrive in Fort Bragg. The driveway will say Marabello and that’s how you’ll know you’re going down the correct private driveway (there are multiple). This place has incredible views and is perfect for two. The heater worked well so we were comfortable at all times. We will be back.

Love working with Gina great host.

Wonderful spot right on the lake. Next door to a free boat ramp. 4 minute drive to a bunch of restaurants and parks. Also the inside was all newly remodeled, very modern kitchen and bathroom. Will likely be coming back.

This was a great bnb walking distance to the lake. Many restaurants in walking distance as well.

Great spot right on the lake! The place is incredibly spacious and well-equipped. Not walkable to much other than the lake, but very convenient to get places by car. The lake view from the deck was lovely. Honestly was a perfect studio that could be a great for a long term stay too.

We stayed here for three nights for a family get together. It was super relaxing and amazing ocean views. With Manchester already being super remote, it was totally fine for someone who wanted to just relax for a few days at home with amazing views. The house was fully stocked soup to nuts of cooking gear, coffee, and the beds were SO comfortable! Emily had labeled everything so clearly so it was easy to navigate and find everything needed. The best part out of the whole experience was that she allowed small dogs. She had dog amenities and covers for the furniture and I really appreciated this. The host also helped assist with directions and recommendations on roads to take and restaurants to eat at. I would definitely come back and stay here and highly recommend for family stays. It’s super peaceful and so many great wineries along the way. I can’t wait for my next trip!

The Wild Iris Beach House was simply amazing! The views are breathtaking. The house was beautiful with huge windows to see the ocean views. The porch is large with seats to enjoy morning coffee and evening wine. The hot tub was warm and ready for us to use! Jon and Monique were great hosts. They had a sweet note and a bottle of wine at the house to greet us. The kitchen is well stocked. This was a great place to relax and make sweet family memories. We will 100% be returning to this beach house!

A spacious, beautiful house with amazing views of the ocean, cove and beach.

Excellent place to stay. The property is clean, modern, quiet and everything "works". The photos do not do accurate justice to this place; this is definitely a good place to stay.

My family had a wonderful five day stay in early April at this lovely Fort Bragg property situated on a bluff with views of the ocean. It is an excellent location from which to explore the Mendicino and Fort Bragg beaches as well as spectacular coastal State parks and is close to shopping and restaurants. The spacious home was well equipped to handle my group of 8 which included one infant and two toddlers. Shri provided us with a crib and highchair and the young adults enjoyed the hot tub and indoor basketball games. I would certainly stay here again during my next family visit to this beautiful, peaceful area. Gabriella Uhlar-Heffner

The view. It's maily the view that no picture can really describe. But than again, the house itself is so nice, with great feeling of privecy but still near fine restaurants, wineries, short or long hiking trails, sea and forests. Perfect location

This was the best air bnb we have ever stayed at thus far. Super clean and comfortable. All amenities were thought of. Pristine hot tub. Beautiful home, inside and out. The location is fabulous, and it was so quiet/peaceful! We will definitely be coming back!

This was a hidden gem! The house was great, loved the hot tub, the kitchen is wonderful (fully stocked), and the view was perfect! My kids had a wonderful time and want to come back!
