Excellent rest!

Spent a few days relaxing and enjoying the beautiful Mendocino coastline at Otter’s Rest. This was the ideal place for us to stay and enjoy the amazing views. It was easily walkable to town where everyone was so nice and welcoming. Would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect stay

Loved everything about our stay. The house is well laid out, very clean, very comfortable, all the necessary amenities and equipment, conveniently located on the edge of town, spectacular ocean views. Loved being able to find a nice place that also welcomes a dog. Was also pleased by how easy it was to communicate with Vacasa and appreciated their responsiveness.

osprey s yes, no otters

when we arrived we all went out on to the deck. there was an Ospry perched on. a dead branch. From there on we rarely left the window or deck when we were in the house. The fireplace was a great boon as the weather was pretty sad.

Hard to Leave!

Perfect location on a quiet court with endless views. The home is extremely clean considering it’s a vacation rental. Even the couch and chairs were freshly vacuumed. I have stayed at several places on the coast and this one so far is the best!

Great place to relax with the parents

We wanted to treat my wife's parents to a relaxing view for Mothers Day. Great place and setup for an elderly couple to relax and stare at the ocean for a couple of days. Kitchen was well appointed for us to cook/prep meals for them during our stay. Beds were quite comfortable too (we prefer softer mattresses in general, which the upstairs was).

Otter’s Rest getaway

Enjoyable five days at Otter’s Rest with fabulous weather. Very comfortable & enjoyable house. Good location with spectacular close ocean views of rocky coast from deck & windows. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen & baths. One negative is no pretty sunsets as blocked by hill & house.

Beautiful View…needs to be updated

The view is beautiful, however the unit needs a deep clean and the bathroom downstairs needs to be updated and deep cleaned. The rugs and runners throughout the house need to be thrown out, and replaced. Upstairs area was very clean, and the bathroom upstairs was very nice and clean. Unfortunately we will not return.

Beautiful House and Location

Otter's Rest is a beautiful house on the bluffs. It is very well maintained inside and the view is perfect for whale watching. We spent the entire time enjoying the outdoors and making use of the board & card games left for visitors. Several whale spouts were sighted and the area information binder for guests inspired a few fun outings to kayaking and the skunk train. Highly recommend for a peaceful visit with loved ones.
