Pelican Point, Dramatic Ocean & Coast Views, Spa, Next to Town

THE VIEWS DO NOT GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS! The pictures give you some idea of the magnitude of the view down the coast, but to a tee, guests say it doesn't match seeing it in person.
When you walk in the front door, my best description is that it's like looking out of a cruise ship that docked on a private cove. With Russian Gulch State Park as our neighbor, you have a unobstructed view all the way down the coast to the Mendocino Headlands! Stormy days are majestic as you sit and watch the coastline explode as far as the eye can see. Sit outside on our large deck overlooking ocean and hear nothing but the waves while watching the migration of the gray whales, or relax in the hot tub with the same commanding views. We added a downstairs patio complete with a fire pit. Yet you are only 5 minutes from downtown Mendocino, full of great shopping, restaurants and nightlife. Russian Gulch State park is less than 1/2 mile from the house where you can hang out at their beach, Kayak the coves, or hike the trails to waterfalls. Take a stroll to the Pt. Cabrillo Lighthouse or a little further brings you to Caspar Beach where you can surf, kayak or simply lay back on the large sandy beach.
Back at our home, we have all the amenities you will need, from a full kitchen, cable TV, stereo, VCR, DVD, to a game room complete with a pool table, antique slot machines, corn hole and giant Jinga sets.
Build a fire, turn on our funky fish lights (By artist Doug Rathbun), pour a libation and enjoy. Stroll downstairs to the game room and enjoy a game of pool, or walk outside to the hot tub that is situated with the same commanding views and look at the stars overhead. This place is truly special, no doubt about it. From its unassuming exterior to the warm amenities inside, we guarantee the place will take your breath away.
A little update. At this point we've owned the place for some 11 years (2011-2022) I still get chill's every time I enter the home. The views are commanding. You'd be hard pressed to find a better location. It literally takes 5 minutes to get to downtown Mendocino. There you will find a historic town ripe with restaurants, shopping, grocery store and a museum. 6 miles north you will find Ft. Bragg with all the above plus a harbor that offers fishing and whale watching. Don't miss the Skunk Train.

Welcome to Pelican Point.
You will love it, ...I guarantee it!

Just like all the precious reviewers... clean,well-outfitted, spacious, great location and great view. I filled my trunk with firewood so I could enjoy the outside fire pit and hot tub each evening. This is an older home without a luxury look or feel, but it was perfect for my family of eight.

A lovely house in a great neighborhood with stunning views. I loved the peace and quiet and sounds of the waves. The kitchen is well-stocked with decent knives, plenty of a variety of glassware, plates and flatware. The accommodations are very comfy.

Everything about Don's property was wonderful. We had an amazing time, beautiful views all around, the facilities were absolutely wonderful, everything we needed was available, and we could not be more pleased with our stay. There is a big group of us that have been camping at Russian Gulch for over 40 years. Last few years some of us decided to rent places nearby and hang out with rest of the group at Russian Gulch mainly in the evenings. We are really looking forward to staying there again next year.

Fantastic Family Place

We had a mini family reunion here. The place is over 3 levels, giving plenty of space for all. The deck is completely fenced in, which is great for the little ones. The most amazing thing was the fantastic view & the constant sound of the waves. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place! This is a sweet hippy pad with absolutely amazing vibes and views! I proposed to my now fiancé at Point Cabrillo Light House. Mendocino really showed off her range of beauty during our stay. As a musician, I enjoyed having guitars around to strum on while looking at the ocean. We will be returning this truly wonderful place!

Wonderful Stay! The artwork in this home is unique and fun, adding a special touch to the experience. Located in a beautiful neighborhood with spacious lots, it’s right next to a fantastic state park and offers great views of the coast and surf. This house is far from a cookie-cutter home and has its own distinct charm. For anyone who loves 60-70s rock memorabilia, this place is a dream come true!
