This property is a private apartment attached to the main house, there is a bedroom space and two seating zones. It is worth noting that there is only a small kitchen onsite which has a coffee maker, small refrigerator and cutting board. However you are only minutes away from the local restaurants and amenities.

24. Modern cabin nestled in the trees
Nestled on a 16-acre (6.47-hectare) land of redwoods, this modern cabin is an adventurer’s paradise. When you stay here, you can go on hiking trips or boating adventures along the Big River. You can also head to a beach and enjoy a sunny day on the water or sandy shores.
When you’re done with your adventure for the day, return to the rental to rest. Soak in the private hot tub to soothe your tired muscles, then watch a fun movie to entertain yourself. Cook something delicious in the kitchen or use the grill outside. At night, feel free to lounge on the balcony, nursing a glass of wine while enjoying the fresh breeze.

25. Trillium Cafe & Inn
Located just one street from the sea front, this beautiful cafe and inn has rooms with sea-views available to enjoy. A simple continental breakfast is available in the mornings, and we also strongly recommend making use of the onsite cafe. There are only three bedrooms, which are above the restaurant, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
26. Historic District Water Tower
For the last one on our list we’ve decided to throw in something a bit more unique, that is the District Water Tower! This converted water tower offers guests ocean views, and an ideal location. The tower is a self catering option with a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom with queen-sized bed, and even WiFi. Just a short walk away is a market where you can pick up all your fresh fruit and vegetables.
27. Sunny room with ocean view
This lovely home is walking distance to Mendocino, and we love the peace and tranquility offered here. The host offers yoga classes in a separate space and fresh organic food to enjoy. By staying here you’ll really enjoy the Californian hospitality! The one bedroom rental has a queen sized bed and a sea view in the distance, what a nice retreat!
