Colby Reef

The property was comfortable, view of ocean is wonderful. Easy to get in and out. No issues other than the weather (it rained all but 5 hours over 2+ days) but that had nothing to do with the property.

We spent 3 days for our 40th wedding anniversary. House was beautiful, comfortable, clean, welcoming with ocean and hillside views. Easy access from parking to house. Close to golf for my husband and not far away from all else we wanted to do and see. I love doing puzzles so the dining table was perfectly positioned for ocean view while working on my puzzle. ;) It was a big place for just the 2 of us and our 2 little pups but no regrets and we would stay here again.

Great house, very clean, and easily accommodated a group of 10.

Beautiful home, well kept up, wonderful view

We had an amazing time at Colby Reef. The house is everything we wanted. The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of space throughout the house to relax, and the house was very well stocked. It would have been nice if the door code could have been delivered electronically, but stopping into to pick up the welcome packet was easy enough. Regardless, we loved every moment of our stay. We would absolutely stay here again.

We loved this place. The space is really well maintained. Such thoughtful details that made our stay extra special. For instance a little welcome basket for my dog Willow. The space has a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and was spotless and clean. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would definitely return for a stay. Thank you!

Had a wonderful time.house was awesome and well stocked.great experiece with host

The house was great. An excellent location with a fantastic view. All went well with a few minor issues due to normal wear and tear. The property was clean, but needs some attention to appliances and fixtures in the house. Mendocino Vacation Rentals were great to work with and very accommodating. I would recommend this property to anyone staying within the Mendocino area.

The rental was nice and clean. The kitchen had limited supplies as regular can opener, the electric one was difficult to operate. There was no naming dishes only cookie sheets and no crock pot either. The 2 couch beds downstairs mattresses were very uncomfortable. They need to invest in better mattresses for their guests.

Just returned home from a wonderful week at Colby Reef. Location can't be beat. Views are spectacular from every window. Just a few minutes drive to Mendocino one way and beaches the other. Restaurants and grocery stores are easily accessible.
As for the home -- so comfortable and spacious! Beds/family room couch, upstairs recliners all great. The house was clean from top to bottom. Just a note, there is a bit of a smoky fireplace smell especially downstairs in the large suite. But once you're there, you really don't notice.
The kitchen has all that you'd need. We always bring our favorite oils/spices/knives and some non-stick pans but the kitchen is so well stocked you won't need to bring any of it.
Overall, an amazing stay in an amazing home!!
The view from the property is really something. From one side of the house, it's all ocean and the other side, the beautiful forest.
This is by far one of the best rentals we've stayed in and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

We enjoyed the place so much we extended our stay for an extra day!

House is perfect. rooms are big. Home is comfy. Mendocino area is beautiful. from the secondary level you have a beautiful view of the ocean no matter where you look. One side of the desk gives you beautiful view of the ocean.

We had a great time at the Little River home hosted by Mendocino Preferred. The house is spacious and well equipped and it was great for an extended getaway over the holidays (we were a group of three families). Amazing views of the ocean from inside and outside, and close to Van Damme State Park and the town of Mendocino. Even though it was pretty rainy, we made lots of use of the hot tub and grill, which were great. The hosts were communicative and the check-in and check-out process were easy. Definitely recommended!

Great home with view of the ocean. Staff was friendly and great service.

Everything was in very good and clean condition. The living room couch had some fabric tears, but it did not affect functionality. The lower level was a bit musty smelling, and if the wind is blowing, DON'T light the fireplace upstairs on the main floor. The chimney flu was designed incorrectly, and smoke will drift inside the lowest level bedroom. The main floor was just fine - nice kitchen, dining and living room. The master bath has the only shower on this floor - so share with whoever sleeps in 2nd bedroom on this floor. The deck all around the outside is nice. The large area of the deck for table and BBQ is not on the ocean side of the house - which is fine, as the house blocks the wind off the ocean. DO be careful of trash - we had a bear on the last night destroy the garbage locker - which was securely fastened. So don't leave food in your car or ice chests on porch. Ice chests store just fine inside foyer. It was very quiet, with partial view of ocean. Overall lovely, but I'd not put 10 people in this place. 4 was plenty, especially since the one person downstairs had to sleep on top floor in recliner chair, as it was too smoky the first night, or too musty for her the other nights.

We loved the quiet location of this house watching the beautiful sunsets most nights on the porch. There were a handful of houses nearby but they were either empty or no one bothered anyone. It was like our own private oasis. The whole time we were there, we only saw maintenance workers working on a house not far from us.

The house is huge with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bath. We used only 2 bedrooms (which cost a little less). The kids loved the foosball table up on the second floor. But it seems like that area was not cleaned very often as there were quite a few dead flies by the windowsill. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and a full rack of spices, and coffee. The only down side was ants in the kitchen. Everything needed to be put away in the fridge. The dining table can fit 8 and we had breakfast and dinners there often with a few of the ocean. The master bedroom and basement bedroom were spacious. The bathrooms were clean and had all the basic needs, not luxurious but suited our needs. Loved the chocolates and they provided treats for our dog plus bowls and bags which was very nice. We loved the wrap around porch with gates. It was perfect for our dog to dry up and shake out the sand before letting him back into the house. The hot tub was great but wished it was on the other side of the house with the ocean view. But it was a great way to relax and end our day. Overall, we would stay there again.

Colby Reef was a comfortable home, well stocked with beautiful views of the forest and ocean. The house is well stocked with everything you would need. Quiet location but near to excellent dining and great beaches. Management team at Mendocino Preferred we’re gracious and helpful. This is the second time we used them to find a vacation rental and would do so again. Memorable family vacation.

Was a great house in a beautiful location

Our family reunion of siblings to remember Mom and Pops memory. They must have been with us in this wonderful, spacious, peaceful and with the beautiful views and sunny weather!

Well appointed house

Great property! Many nice touches by the management company.

This place is incredible. The property was extremely clean and well-maintained. The property description is accurate and the layout is great. Big space and lots of room for activities. Good customer service. Close to a gas station and 8 min drive to Mendocino town. 2-minute drive to the beach. I would absolutely stay here again!

The Colby Reef vacation home is a very relaxing, quiet place to relax. The view is beautiful and the two upstairs reclining chairs make relaxing with a glass of wine a nice addition to the stay. The house was clean and decorated with an ocean theme. The house is a close drive to Fort Bragg and we had a very relaxing time!

Easy check in great location !

The home is beautiful, nicely furnished and equipped. It took us awhile to figure out phone coverage (using wifi), but it worked like a charm.

Plenty of room in a nice, big, open house. 3 levels, but if you have old people or an old dog, you can just stay on the main level. Make sure you secure the garbage cans though, or the raccoons, or whatever animals are out at night, will tear up the garbage cans to get to your garbage!

Loved the frog songs in the evening!

This was my first experince with Mendocino Preferred Vacation Rentals. I was extremely satisfied. The staff went out of their way to answer my questions and address my concerns. The house was lovely and the vista was beautiful. The house is in a quiet location on the Mendocino coast. The beds were comfortable and the rooms are spacious.

Colby Reef will not disappoint. The view, the surroundings, Mendocino coast, an astoundingly beautiful home. What more can one ask for?

The home is very private and comfortable, and clean. The only thing we didn't like was the loud hum of the hot tub on the outside deck, next to the front bedroom.

Staying at the Colby Reef house was the perfect getaway in the middle of a challenging winter. The house was meticulously clean and very beautiful. Everything we could have needed was at our fingertips, and this view of the ocean and the surrounding area was not to be beat. Thank you for having us!

This places was really great! A nice quiet home set just outside of Little River. We brought our dogs, they loved it! Plenty of space!

Brought my parents up for their big birthday celebrations. We were lucky enough to find Colby Reef. It was the perfect lay out for what we needed. Lots of space, amazing views and super clean.

Thank you for providing us with a beautiful home for us to relax and bond as a family. Beautiful
secluded location overlooking the ocean and allowing us to one with nature.

We loved our time in Mendocino. The house was super comfortable and well taken care of. There was plenty of space for relaxing and enjoying the view. Check in and check out could not have been easier. We'll be back!
