My husband and I stayed at the Albatross house for 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed every amenity the house offered. First, the house is located on the ocean side of State Route 1 where there are many walking trails for a morning walk. Secondly, the house is fully equipped; the kitchen is well stocked for those of you who prefer to eat dinner in while on vacation. Every morning, we enjoy our morning coffee on the patio and be spied upon by deer, sometimes mom and baby or other times, a group of bucks. Third, if you are a golfer, there are many courses…The Sea Ranch Links Course, Little River Golf (about an hour drive north) and Northwoods Golf Course down by Guerneville. Mendocino is just north of Little River; the quiet town is a perfect way to wander through art shops, boutiques, go wine tasting and have lunch. Also Point Arena, a former lighthouse, is also nearby. If you are not familiar with Highway 1, please note the road is winding, but the views are spectacular. Lastly, the hot tub is a splendid perk, a wonderful way to relax after a day of golf or sightseeing. We will certainly return to the Albatross house, especially to escape the valley heat!
