This is our fourth year renting Sea Garden. Such a beautiful home with wonderful views. This year the weather was just gorgeous. We saw lots of whales and did lots of shopping in Fort Bragg and Mendocino. The welcome gifts for us and our pups was so nice. Thank you.

What a beautiful home on the bluffs of Caspar. Upon arrival there was a nice birthday wish for my wife in the form of scotch and more important to her was a box of bowls, toys and bags for our puppy which was even more important to her. The home has ocean views from all rooms with a very nice wood burning stove in the family room. There were only two of us but I would say the house sleeps 6 comfortably and maybe up to 8 max. The only downer was we were going to get in the hot tub on the last day and there was no way to turn the jets on so we skipped it. Maybe user error but the location in Caspar South right between Mendocino and Ft Bragg was perfect. Introduced our 6 month old pup to deer and many birds. Neighbors were super cool and makes me want to buy a place there.

The cb property was as described on line, excellent location and quiet neighborhood. Very cozy downstairs with open floor plan. Unfortunately none of the upstairs heating units worked so we were quite cold the first night until the heat from downstairs eventually made its way to the second floor. DVD player was missing controls. I would rent again if I could be reassured the upstairs heating units worked.

We spent a weekend at this property with our friends for a birthday get together. The house sits on the ocean cliffs of South Caspar community. Quiet location, wildlife right outside the window, beautiful views of the ocean from all rooms, close to the lighthouse, multiple outdoor sitting areas. The garden is relaxing. Same with the hot tub on the patio. Spacious interiors, very clean, beautiful furnishing and decoration of the rooms. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need and more. There were small personal touches - flowers, liquor, a happy birthday note - that welcomed us into the house. We had a wonderful, unforgettable time and would return for a longer weekend in the future. It was a perfect stay! Better than expected and better than pictured.

The property is clean cozy and with views that make it a must to stay. We were greeted by deer peacefully grazing in the backyard. Quarter mile away from Caspar Beach, 8 minutes away from main street Mendocino. Pet friendly + hot tub and a deck on the second floor were massive cherries on the top.

Having stayed at dozens of rentals in the area, this has been in the top few. From pictures you can tell that it's going to be a nice spot, and that is all true. I felt the rental company went above and beyond to ensure that the house was clean and had sweet little touches added in too (fresh flowers, dog treat, folded towels). All of this was noticed and made us feel very welcome! I will prioritize staying with this company again.

We really enjoyed this rental. The master bedroom is huge compared to the other 3. A factor of at least 2. Took a day to learn all of the light switches... lots of them and not always obvious where some lights were being controlled.

And could use some serious minor mtx... one of the upstairs decks was in pretty bad shape and we never were able to lock the doors other than the front one. Not a worry really but seemed kind of odd.

The one thing really needed however is a refrigerator upgrade. The only place I've rented without an ice maker. At the very least the housekeepers should have filled the ice cube trays. Upon arrival, we had no ice until the second day!

The other odd thing; if all the bedrooms were occupied (as was our case, minus 1) you have 8 people... but everything seems designed for 6. Only 6 places at dining table, 6 glass cups, 6 plates, 6 seats in TV room, etc. We were constantly moving chairs from one room to another.

Great house for comfortable ocean viewing!

Clean, nothing falling apart, everything we needed. I have been in more updated rentals in this neighborhood, but the views can’t be beat! We even saw whales while sitting on the porch. I loved that every room had an opening window or door and would see the ocean. Would ask that the property managers do some yard work as the lawn sitting area was completely over grown and we could not enjoy it, but you can’t see the ocean from there anyways so with our size group we just sat on the decks and enjoyed the waves and seals barking.

Thank you!!

The house was perfect for a three gen of our family including toddler and baby. Great layout and all the appliances were operable albeit tired. The master bed & bath was a highlight.
The window coverings on the upper floor were inadequate, floor rugs old and frayed (master bed), kitchen pots and pans could do with an audit.

There was 6 of us staying at Sea Garden. The house was in a nice neighborhood but the inside was outdated. The rooms upstairs were very small the size of a walk-in closet. There is a fenced in backyard which is nice for our dogs. I think they should update everything inside the house because it was very expensive to stay there. The refrigerator was small and no where to store all the food we brought.

We visited during "ski week" 2023 and were not expecting the cold weather to follow us there. The house was great, wood stove kept it warm when the power was out for a bit, and the large dining area and living room meant everyone could spread out and relax together but not too close (teenagers..sigh...). Hot tub was great contrast to the cold and rainy wether and got a lot of use. Kitchen was great and well stocked. This was our second time with Mendocino Preferred and won't be our last!

We rented Sea Garden for a family getaway and absolutely loved it! The location could not have been better - 10 mins from downtown, right next to Cabrillo point lighthouse, and short drive/walking distance to the beach. Every room in the house has gorgeous ocean views, and the wraparound deck is perfect for watching the sunset. Spacious and clean, the house was more than large enough for us. We'll definitely be back soon!

We were in Mendocino with two other couples for an event. Mendocino Preferred has been our go to rental company for years so we searched for a three bedroom, three bath property. Sea Garden worked out for us but we were a little disappointed in the small size of the upstairs bedrooms as the photos make them look much larger than they are. Also the third bathroom was very small and downstairs. The master bedroom and en-suite bath was very nice. Overall it worked out. This property would be well suited for a family with kids. The location was great in between Mendocino and Fort Brag with a great view of the ocean.

We visit Mendocino annually (for the past 30 years). This is our second stay at Sea Garden. We got off to a rocky start: The key wouldn't open the front door so we called and were told to use the side door. When I started the oven to cook appetizers, the oven caught fire and emitted nauseous fumes. We turned it off and tried again about 15 minutes later. Again the fumes and fire so we called the management. They sent a repairman out right away. He told us not to use the oven (it caught fire when he turned it on) and he brought a brand new toaster oven for us to use. He set it up for us and was on his way. We were able to have another fabulous stay at Sea Garden and plan to return again next year. Management is so helpful, professional, and friendly. See you again next March.

Other than a light bulb or two out of service, this home on the coast is about as good as it gets. Clean throughout with a well supplied kitchen. The surprisingly large protected fenced garden area is a unique special surprise, especially if sharing the space with the family dog. The interior is well appointed and comfortable, though the bedding is not 100% cotton, so if that is important, bring your own. The door locks have suffered from the sea air and can be tricky, but the owners are planning to replace them. And the special treats for humans and dogs were a nice surprise! Definitely one of the better places to stay in a perfect location for coastal walks, while being very convenient to Mendocino village and Fort Bragg town. On my list for future repeat rentals.

We stayed at the Sea Garden with another couple and loved this house. It was well appointed with amazing views! It also had multiple decks on which to enjoy the view. The spa was a welcome treat after a day of exploring the area. We would definitely pick this house again. If you’re planning on staying here, note that, although the kitchen has everything you need as far as equipment and dinnerware, you will need to bring your own spices, oils, condiments etc. Salt and pepper is all that’s provided.

The 6 of us ladies all agreed that the property location and view was outstanding. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have 3 full baths for 6 women to share. It would have been much more convenient to be able to enter the home with a door code and not have to drive into downtown Mendocino twice to pick up and drop off the key. The front door lock was very difficult to operate. It also would have been nice to have more than 1 key for 6 people. The dishwasher top rack was broken. We would have loved to have a few basic spices and cooking oil in the kitchen. The tv directions in the binder were for an older model tv and we never could figure out how to watch live tv, but we did get Netflix. -

We have been renting homes for years in Mendocino/Casper. Sea Garden - without a doubt - is the most awesome home we've ever rented. Beautiful views from every room, very comfortably furnished, fully supplied kitchen. Just wonderful. We saw so many whales. AND we got to bring our little fur babies. Thank you so much.

Beautiful views from every room, very comfortably furnished, fully supplied kitchen. Just wonderful. We saw so many whales. AND we got to bring our little fur babies. Thank you so much.

Property was very well appointed, in excellent condition. Unfortunately the hot tub was out of order and the substitute inflatable hot tub was barely adequate for two people. We understand a new tub is on order, everything is slow now. The common area towards the ocean was great for a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. Fair warning though, you must stay in the common area or the neighbors will be out in a flash telling you that you're on private property. Great location for coastal walks right outside the door. The lighthouse is an easy walk and a must see.

It's all about the view!

Sea Garden is a beautiful home located in a stunning location. We were able to see the ocean from every room and saw many whale spouts during our stay. The attached garden is also quite lovely and perfect for relaxing. Our only issue was that the hot tub was not working and we were not told about it beforehand. They had put a small blowup tub that holds two people on the deck as a substitute but it wasn't turned on so it took over 24 hours to heat up. We also like to cook meals while we stay in vacation homes and the kitchen was lacking several things we needed. (Bring what you need if you plan to cook!) If the hot tub was fixed, we would definitely come back to this amazing house.

The views are amazing! We loved watching deer eating outside our windows. The only disappointment was the real hot tub is broken so there is replacement blow up tub. The scenic hot tub was the main reason i chose this place for my birthday. It was 61 degrees when we arrived and it heated very slowly. Takes about 24 hours to get up to hot tub temps and we didn’t realize it wasn’t heated until the second day . By the 3rd day it was finally warm but then the power went out all day and we were back to square one. I would recommend they at least start heating the hot tub before people arrive.

With fires in the valley, smoke in the air, this house was the perfect getaway. We were able to see a herd of deer from the house almost every day.

This house offers the perfect escape to the beauty of Mendocino. It is large, beautifully laid out and every room offers a view of the Ocean. The master bedroom is like a getaway in itself with huge picture window, a door to one of many decks and the hot tub. We brought our dog and he couldn't be happier. There was the back area with a large expanse to run and the private garden area which is completely fenced in and private. I highly recommend staying here. It is close to everything and yet very private.

The house has a charming rustic quality with wooden paneling. Nice eclectic art on the walls and little details here and there of nice quality. Feels like the owners love their house. I liked that the car can park right near the front door, so it is quick into the house with your belongings. We stayed in the upstairs bedrooms. Beds are memory foam and each room has a heater. The bathroom is tiny, but functional. The stairway up is of an airy design, and narrow steps on the upper half, so it felt a little scary the first few times. But when we got accustomed to it, we were okay. It was all very clean.

We stayed here for 3 nights with my husband's family and had an amazing time! The views from this property are unbelievable -- deer in the yard, gorgeous sunsets and waves crashing, sea lions barking in the distance -- you cannot get a better location. It also helps that it is right between Mendocino and Fort Bragg providing easy access to restaurants, beaches, hiking trails, and shopping. The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook huge and delicious meals, and there was plenty of room for 4 couples to have a comfortable stay. The outside decks are perfectly situated for the best views, and it was great to spend time relaxing on them. Only suggestion would be to get some lounge chairs for the deck, as the current chairs were not the most comfortable for extended sitting or a nap in the sunshine. The rental company was a delight to work with - made the process very smooth and easy (Kathy in particular was so friendly and helpful). I would absolutely recommend this to friends and other family, and we will definitely be booking again!

The beach in Mendocino was beautiful, we were able to enjoy our "beach time" after shopping in the quaint town of Mendocino. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the vacation rental, cooking our evening meals, playing Mexican Train, reading on the upper deck or just listening to the sounds of the ocean. Our annual girl's beach vacation was again a wonderful time!

If you're looking for the perfect spot for a girl's coastal escape, look no further. With its spacious decks upstairs and down, well-stocked and provisioned kitchen, private hot tub and 4 good-sized bedrooms with plenty of closet space, Sea Garden will delight on every level. All four of us gals had our own room, something that becomes more important as time passes, and having 3 full baths was excellent. The master suite is truly exceptional, with ocean view and access to the lower deck with hot tub. The home is well-maintained, spotlessly clean and the linens and towels are in fine shape. There's a washer and dryer off the master bedroom, too. Above all, it is private, quiet and you can hear the ocean at full song all night long. Lots of deer and birds came to visit daily, and it's close to some spectacular hiking trails. You can see the Point Cabrillo lighthouse from the massive top deck. Everything about this place spells VACATION!

The main floor master bedroom is fantastic. 2 of the 3 room upstairs are a tad small, but all have access to a gigantic deck. The beds are all comfortable.

Kitchen is well-equipped and nicely laid out to let people in the kitchen, living room, and dining room interact easily.

They even went the extra mile to add some nice notes and a decoration for our special occasion.

I was under the impression that the property was ocean front vs ocean view. The downstairs area is quite nice, with a large kitchen, that was well stocked with plates and various kitchen wares. The master bedroom is a treat with a gorgeous view. The master bath is equipped with a double sink and good lighting. In contrast, the upstairs bedrooms are quite small in size and limited in functionality. We had a problem with the bathroom, but something that can be readily remedied. All in all it's a fine place to spend the week or weekend.

We arrived at 5:30pm so the Office was closed but I was able to get the key from the code they emailed. Drove through Mendocino to get some food, then off to find the house. The house was neatly situated on the corner with views that the neighbors wont let you get close to. So bring binoculars if you want to see the ocean from the deck or drive north to Caspar Beach or South to Point Cabrillo because the neighbors were not friendly with people taking pics.

Day 2 I discovered that there were ants downstairs on almost everything, but since it was only a few days I wasn't too concerned. The upstairs bathroom wasn't previously cleaned, but since there were only two of us, it didn't bother me because the main bedroom was nice and ready to go.

It was abalone season so in the mornings there were a lot of traffic near beach access points. It surprised me since the neighbors were good at telling me to go back in the house when I tried to take photos.

Overall I had a nice time and spent most of our time at Fort Bragg beaches. We had a BBQ for my birthday on an evening and a relative drove up from Sea Ranch, another from Westport, and a Native American lesbian couple from Willits which made the neighbors uncomfortable.

The house was conveniently located not far from town. Although it is set back from the water quite a way, there are nice views of the water from many rooms. Those views do, however, include the other houses that are nearby. Hot tub and garden area are very nice, and overall the house was well set up for a group of 8. The kitchen was particularly well stocked with everything that you could possibly need.
