Cypress Cove

This is a very dangerous place, watch out!!! You will guaranteed not to ever want to leave it. The best cottage ever. Spell binding location, comfortable, clean and sparse. Would come back a million times
Bring some bath salts. It’s got the sweetest jacuzzi with massive windows.
Also bring wine to sip while you dream lounge and stare profoundly at the intimate views of the crashing waves and shiny pebbles — the local shops are very very dear
Do try the soups and chowders and bakeries, and quaint hand made glass pipe full smoke shop in the village and the bookshop
I couldn’t find good walks to the beach. Bring a nice walking guide book if you like to walk

Bed very comfy, the deck, view fantastic BUT
Towels had bad smell, maybe they could place them in a sealed Tupperware type storage bin and they would stay fresh until needed.
Need a fire extinguisher, should be one in the basket of fire starting material that they keep under the fireplace shelf
The books they offered were a nice idea but there were no books relating to the area, the ocean, nature, birds, wildlife, or the beach!
Fridge was really noisy.
Chairs on patio rickety felt like they were going to fall apart!
We didn’t use but they did provide, mints, brandy, coffee. Stereo sounded great. We didn’t use TV or DVD player. We didn’t use Jacuzzi but it looked nice. Really nice they had good binoculars as we had just had ours stolen!
Need a screen on sliding glass door. We wanted to leave the windows and doors open to hear the ocean and enjoy the fresh air but couldn’t for fear of letting bugs and animals into the house. There was a very small window near the floor that we were able to leave open because it was screened. They need a shade on shower (there was one on Jacuzzi window)
A posted notice about tsunami escape route and/​or earthquake safety would be good.
Saw a lot of birds from the deck– all sorts of sea birds but also a spotted owl (!), osprey, pine siskins, black capped chickadee, hummingbirds, and more…
There were cracks in the tiled floor. It would have been nice to have a list taped inside a cupboard or somewhere that said «we are aware of the cracks on the floor. Don’t worry about it.» I was concerned the whole time we were there that they were going to assume we made those cracks and they would charge us for them)

We just got back from spending 4 days and 3 nights at Cypress Cove and enjoyed the wonderful town of Mendocino. Cypress Cove is two totally separate rentals and they are to die for! My hubby and I rented the downstairs and our friends rented the upstairs. Both units have the MOST AMAZING views — right on the bluff overlooking the ocean. They are both very comfortable and nicely appointed — beds super comfy and jacuzzi bathtubs and separate shower. Deck with chairs to sit and enjoy the ocean. Wood stove, refrigerator, micro, coffee and all the plates/​glasses/​utensils, corkscrews — whatever you need. We could hear the ocean and did I say AMAZING VIEWS??? We can’t wait to go back and I have to say that communication with the rental agency (owners?) was first rate and totally professional.
The upstairs unit has a full kitchen and the downstairs unit has just a fridge and microwave (but a better room configuration and just a tad better view — if that is possible). You gotta go!

Unbelievable location, overlooking the mendocino bay. Incredible view of Mendocino from across the bay at night. The best for you and your special lady or man to have some quality time together. Business time, flight of the conchords style.
But seriously. They hook you up nice. Full kitchen. Full bath with a nice tub. Brandy and chocolates. Nice bed. Fireplace. Highly, highly recommended.
Plus the whole thing should only set you back about $ 600 with tax included for a weekend. Given how nice it is, it’s a pretty good deal.
