Gorgeous spot for a friends' getaway

When I travel with a group, I want the place we stay to be as much of the appeal as the activities we do, and this rental absolutely fit the bill. The panoramic view of the Pacific made even the quiet moments drinking coffee in the morning feel grand and special. We kayaked the Albion River, rode railbikes out of Fort Bragg, and explored Navarro Beach, never having to drive more than 30 min once we were there. Thanks to our hosts for maintaining such a beautiful spot!

Fabulous House!

We loved the property. The hosts were very responsive and clearly care about their property. There were a few minor issues, and they were very concerned and addressed them right away. The kitchen is very well stocked, which is always a pleasant surprise. The view is sensational.

Spectacular Spot & Stay!

My husband and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary by spending three nights at Sea & River House, and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. Perched on a bluff that provides stunning views all day long, this rental property had everything we were looking for. The interior was spotless, beautifully-decorated and included a great kitchen, super comfy beds, a cozy wood-burning stove, and a nice collection of CDs. The upper deck was the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee and a homemade dinner as the sun was setting, and the lower living space was ideal for watching a movie and enjoying the outdoor hot tub. The view from the cliffside bench is outstanding. We bought groceries at the Albion Grocery Store, hiked through a redwood forest at Van Damme State Park, walked along a nearby beach, and had a delicious dinner at the Albion River Inn. We hope to return in the future to luxuriate in this very relaxing home, do more hiking, and rent an outrigger canoe at Catch a Canoe and Bikes Too!

Million dollar views

If you’re considering staying here, let me tell you, DO IT. The view alone is honestly priceless. And you can’t even capture its stunning beauty by photograph, you have to feel it, experience it. We chose the downstairs master bedroom to sleep in and it was cozy. I absolutely loved that the hot tub was right outside the sliding glass door. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing during the spectacular sunsets here. There are lovely birds singing throughout the morning, very peaceful. Our favorite part, besides the million dollar view, was observing the cute little momma fox and her fox cub that live nearby. Once we spotted her, we became obsessed with using our binoculars to watch her quietly from inside. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking, I was able to make breakfast a couple of the days we stayed. I spoke to the host on the phone and he was incredibly friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here if you are wanting a peaceful getaway with the absolute best view. I’m so beyond thankful that I discovered this gem!

The view of a lifetime

I cannot say enough about this property. The view from every part of the property is incredible. The bench by the cliff is such an amazing place to sit and listen to the waves and feel the breeze on your face. The perfect location to center yourself and lean in to whatever is on your mind. The rooms were beautifully decorated. I enjoyed the downstairs while my Mom and Aunt were upstairs. Having that separate room and bathroom so intricately decorated, really allowed me my own personal space to decompress at the end of out adventurous days. The Accessibility for someone who is disabled was manageable, a few steps to navigate but there is a side door off the kitchen that was easier to get up rather than the tall front step. I would and hope to absolutely stay here again! And the host was so wonderful making sure we had all we needed before checking in. The location was outside of Fort Bragg about 20+ miles but the drive is so beautiful and there are so many beaches and bridges and wonderful places to take photos, you appreciate the drive for all it has to offer!

Heaven on earth

Amazing spot, just my husband and I. We loved the unique touches inside, obviously artists who decorated/designed it. The garden area is sweet and being able to go right to the cliffside is fabulous. There is a fox, quail and a hummingbird that hovered 1 ft from me, never been that close to one. So peaceful and serene. So beautiful. The hot tub was great, though it got windy and the water would spray up so the chlorine would get in our eyes. the Ms. PacMan shown in the picture isn't there, we were looking forward to playing it, but we were so occupied so it didn't matter. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect for our family!

The Sea & River House was perfect for our recent spring break family vacation to the Mendocino coast. The views from this house are simply amazing! We even saw whale activity one morning. The owner is friendly and responsive. The house was very clean, well stocked, and has a lot of thoughtful little touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

A Slice of Heaven

This place is a little piece of heaven. I don't know where to start. The location is absolutely gorgeous. The views from the house and the property are stunning. We loved the little private grassy area on the cliffside for reading and picnics during the day. The hot tub is perfect for warming up after sunset and watching the stars. The fire place inside makes everything so cozy. The kitchen had a very nice updated sink and stove/oven and they had all the utensils we needed. If you are cook, they do have a spice collection started. Sleeping in the downstairs main bedroom, you wake up to a view of the ocean and can step directly out onto the balcony first thing, what a dream! I really appreciated the speakers they had available for playing music, the devices all connect to bluetooth as well! Despite other houses being nearby, the way this house is positioned and with all the brush and plants, it felt very private still. This trip was my wife and mine's honeymoon, and we hope to return one day!

Beautiful View

Four of us go on a yearly retreat and selected to stay in Albion this year. The location was wonderful and as described on the posting. The kitchen was in great shape and we had everything we needed for cooking our meals, the 4 bedrooms were great for us, we did not have to double up! The property was clean and communication with Peter was great, even though they were out of the country. I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to return.
