Excellent stay at the Star House Lodge!

The place is super clean, beautifully updated and decorated, and very private. The location and the view are both spectacular! Overlooking the cliff is a great place to be when you want some peace.

The nicest vacation rental we have ever rented!

This beautiful house is the nicest vacation rental we have ever rented. It has an unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean, and you can hear the waves with the windows open. The layout of the house is ideal, The living room and kitchen are on the second floor to maximize the ocean views. The bedroom and bathroom are on the lower level along with a second comfortable seating area. The furnishings are very tasteful and the house is immaculately maintained. We would stay here again without hesitation!

Modern stay on the bluffs

Love this place and would stay here again. Everything is renovated beautifully. We loved sipping coffee while watching the hummingbirds outside the window. The Murphy bed was comfortable as well as the main bed. We were incredibly bummed that the fog never lifted during our stay. The water is RIGHT THERE, but we never saw it. Location is great, close to ft Bragg and Mendocino. Of note, we felt weird taking a shower or washing dishes because it is plastered everywhere about how bad the drought is. It is also weird that they want the dishes clean before departure, but they won’t let you run the dish washer as you leave. Makes the AM checkout complicated. There is also a fog horn in the area 24/7 that we could hear while trying to sleep.

It is equipped with almost everything, and the online portal provides all the information. I will definitely rent again.

Sun, sky, sea & surf! ❤️

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was an absolutely stunning setting. We even spotted some whales in the afternoon & fishermen returning to port in the morning. The only drawbacks are as follows: No access to fire pit. The landscape was already hardened & set with nonflammable foliage. Unlike many other rentals in the area, no hot tub, no propane BBQ & as mentioned, a beautiful fire pit that we couldn’t use. We saw the neighbors using their fire pit Friday night-BTW. Plus, there was fire wood on site, in the wooden box. But the brandy (?) & mints were a lovely surprise! A sheet explaining the on/off for the overhead lights would be helpful. The reading book choices were odd. A book glorifying the wife of a confederate general? Mrs Robert E Lee? Go with book’s about modern art, seascapes, and or horticulture, as to not offend guests. Geraldo was superb. Truly kind & patient. Cozy throw blankets & heavy duty blankets would be nice. But newer thermostat kept us cozy. Also, the gas fireplace was great! The upstairs rug was heavily stained—FYIOverall, we loved it! Thanks to all the staff. From the folks who clean to the front office!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely, comfortable place. Pros: Great windows to amplify the incredible ocean view. Kitchen had everything we needed. Minor Cons: Would have liked a table to play a game we brought, but that was all that was missing. Shower is draining slowly, so maintenance is required.
