I loved how I could park my car for the entire stay and walk to "town" for food and drink as well as to the amazing headlands park.

Quiet and restful while also close and walkable to everything you need -- town shopping and beach hikes. A cozy cottage -- loved the gas fire and the upstairs rocking-chair view of the lighthouse.

It was nice to stay in a place that was as nice in person as it was in the online pictures! Perfectly clean, comfy recliners, sofa bed and queen bed both very comfortable, love the location within walking distance to the headlands and the downtown. We hope to come back and stay there again next summer!

Perfectly situated cottage for a Mendocino stay. Walking distance to restaurants, coffee, hiking and retail but far enough away that it is quiet and private. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning soon!

Wonderful location. Private and quiet, but just a short walk to town. Literally a stone’s throw to beautiful Headlands State Park.

The location is incredible. Easily walk to everything downtown, the views of the headlands out the north windows is just so peaceful and relaxing. The rocking chairs by the window upstairs was a nice touch. We really enjoyed our stay here. And our pup loved the yard out back. Even with 2 houses on the same property, there’s plenty of privacy. It’s nice that each rental property has a yard on opposite sides of the buildings so even the dogs get some privacy when they play outside (yards are not enclosed by fencing but they’re big and the streets are not very busy). Would absolutely stay here again!

Excellent location and very quiet. Well stocked with cooking and eating utensils. Amazing views north towards Point Cabrillo lighthouse and within a minute walk of the headlands trail. Within walking distance to great restaurants too.

My partner Becky and I - and our 2 year old pup - stayed here for the Christmas holiday weekend. The cottage was well appointed and warm. The bed very comfortable. We never needed the kitchen as we walked to our relatives’ home about a block away for holiday meals. The headlands trails were literally right out the door.l which our puppy loved. Would definitely stay here again.

Pet friendly was a must for us this time and it was a nice quiet space. I’m not a fan of 10am checkout and because we were referred to Vacasa from VRBO, communication was minimal. Once someone contacted medical ally, the communication was great. Checkout will prevent me from staying again.

Lovely little cottage within walking distance to food, shopping and beautiful sunsets. This is not a ADA cabin, we didn’t need one. The upstairs loft has a spiral staircase so you have to be prepared to climb up. The bathroom is also on an elevated floor from the main room. Again none of that mattered to us. It was a perfect little cottage/cabin for a short visit to the coast. It had a great little toaster oven, and a microwave, we were able to reheat leftovers from wonderful restaurants. Plus we were able to purchase entree’ foods from the market that we could heat up after a long day at the botanical gardens. Walking down to watch the sunset and the high tides come in was an amazing opportunity from the location of our cottage. Mendocino locals are very welcoming and be sure to check out the local artist! We had to use the USPS office to ship things home after our visit! Thank you for a splendid stay in Mendocino!

Great location. Kitchen was tiny but worked, although being height challenged I couldn’t reach the top shelf where the coffee maker was and I didn’t see a step stool. Also I suggest a shower mat, the shower floor was slippery and could be a hazard. The only other thing, there were no pillow cases for the fold out couch pillows. I didn’t use the upstairs bed, so I took the pillows with cases from there. The spiral stairs were smaller than they looked in the photos and a bit much for me, especially for the middle of the night bathroom trips. I’m old! All in all a nice stay.

We enjoyed our 15 night stay at the Headlands Cottage. The location is excellent. The layout of the cottage was lovely and the cottage was very quiet. The cottage was relatively clean but not perfect. We had some trouble with spiders in the sleeping loft. Also, all the windows were dirty. The tv worked quite erratically, one day Samsung Chanels worked another day they didn't. The same for cable channels. The kitchenette was minimal. It needs some updating, including new burners. The refrigerator was very small and had a broken plastic insert for milk. It's probably great for someone who is staying for a long weekend. With all this said, loved the location and would return.

Perfect location. Not a place to stay if you have mobility issues. You have to walk in from the street where you have space to park one car. The bathroom is three steps up from the living space, and of course, the bedroom is up the spiral staircase. There is a sofa bed in the living area that folds out into a bed for those who can't make it up the stairs. The kitchen really isn't a kitchen, think more along the lines of what you would get in a motel room...basic small fridge, microwave, coffee maker. There is a hot plate, but the counter space in the kitchenette is very small and I didn't attempt to use it. The main heat is supplied by the gas fireplace in the living area, and there are two other space heaters...one downstairs and one in the bedroom. Other than that, this is a very comfortable and clean rental. You can walk everywhere! As a bonus, you can see the Point Cabrillo light station from the bedroom! It's a short walk to the bluffs to watch the ocean and whale watch! Definitely a great place for a short-term trip to the coast!
