Spectacular Oceanfront on the Mendocino Coast

SEA & RIVER HOUSE is an attractive, welcoming home sitting 120 feet above the ocean and one mile from the Navarro River inlet. We are located 130 miles north of San Francisco and 10 miles south of Mendocino and close to Anderson Valley's many wineries. Come see us!

To the south of the house is a view of magical Brokeback Cove and beyond to the Point Arena lighthouse which flashes at night. North a mile, where the Navarro River (known for steelhead fishing) meets the ocean, is an extensive sand beach to explore and throw a frisbee or build a driftwood fort. Swimming "holes" ( a favorite of our kids) can be found at several points along the Navarro River in the redwood forest.

The house offers four bedrooms (2 queen beds, one full, 2 twins ), a game room with futon, wood burning stove fireplace and outside chiminea, hot tub, two bathrooms,, and expansive decks on two levels. Six people are easily accomodated. It affords wonderful space for people to gather or to separate and find a quiet spot to read or watch hummingbirds come to a feeder. Kids of all ages can congregate in the lower level game room to play foosball, throw darts or watch a movie on the wall mounted large screen TV. Moving outside to the lower level deck, they can soak in the large hot tub, roast marshmallows in the chiminea or sit watching the hypnotic spinning of a copper windmill set in the ocean side yard. Two bedrooms and the game room have streaming (Netflix and Amazon Prime and local TV) TV plus a stock of movie dvds At night the star display is amazing for those from light polluted cities.

Living Areas: The interior of the upper level of the house is redwood.. The upper level includes the dining room. living room, kitchen, three bedrooms (one a "bunk room") and full bath. The lower level, reached by a stunning spiral staircase, contains the game room and 4th bedroom and 2nd bathroom. Most people receive cell phone service.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a new gas stove, new set of pots and pans, a good stock of cooking utensils, and Corelle dishware. On the upper deck is a large Weber for outside grilling. The kitchen sink back splash is glass tiled and the view out the kitchen door is to the ocean. Even dish washing gets better.

The living room has a couch and two chairs with reading lamps and centers around the wood burning fireplace. A small bench doubles as a coffee table or added seating, There is a small but mighty sound system. A ceiling fan cools the room at the end of warm days

The dining area over looks the cove and seats six at an oval table. It is also a great spot to play board games. There is additional outdoor dining (except in winter months) for 4 at an outdoor table set on the upper deck. The lower deck has a 2 person bistro table where you can sip coffee or wine or have a private dinner for two. Table is stored in winter.

Bedrooms: Every queen or double bed is covered with a featherbed or foam topper and then a beautiful quilt. The upper level master bedroom has a ceiling fan. The lower bedroom boasts a canopy bed and vintage oil seascape paintings. Sliding doors open to the lower deck with large flower planters, hot tub etc. Bookcases in each room offer good reads for all tastes. Games are stocked in the "bunk room."

Grounds: In the back (Hwy. 1 side) of the house is a rough picnic table and view of the mountains. In the front (ocean side) is an expanse of ice plant which blooms in bright colors which is edged by an herb garden for cooks. There is a lot of rosemary but also thyme, sage, and other favorite culinary herbs in a round planter at the end of the lower deck. Beyond the herb plantings is a gate to the cliff promontory with what Pete calls "lover's bench." Great place for photos. A small shore pine hangs off the cliff. The beach at Navarro River can be reached by walking or driving.

Stunning views, cozy stay
A beaitiful, cozy property overlooking the Pacific. We were continually in awe of the location. House was clean, beds were comfortable, everything needed for cooking meals was supplied. An easy drive up or down the coastline. We are looking forward to returning again and again..

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!

Perfect place for a relaxing sibling get together. Just enough space with semi open floor plan making for the perfect place to sit, reminisce, tell stories, eat meals and enjoy each other’s company. Can’t beat the view! Easy location to quietly enjoy the space and short drive to other places. Would return in a heartbeat!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Wow.... this beautiful home was perfevt in every way! Spacious, well equipped, cozy/comfy and spotless!!! Did I mention the view yet?? There are views all across the back side of the house. Beautiful grounds to walk around, so many lovely spaces, beautiful artwork and furnishings everywhere and the most comfy beds and pillows I've ever had away fron my own home. SO many extra blankets and towels and EVERYTHING smelled freshly laundered and not musty, ehich I often find at many home rentals. This is my favorite vrbo rental ever! There was also quick and clear communication when I reached out. I'm definitely saving this one to return to 💗

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!
