Wonderful home; we’ve stayed in mendocino at least 3 times per year over the last 10 years and this was the BEST!! Fabulous views from every room. Highlight of the stay was seeing dolphins from the deck and our daily visit from the seagull. Staff couldn’t have been more attentive. Paradise

This house is special. The setting, the views, the house itself are all exceptional. It’s about 3.5 miles south of Mendocino, with a long driveway off of Hwy 1. Exiting the driveway left onto Hwy 1 is a little dicey because the views both ways are a bit blind. We turned right and made a upturn using a driveway a little further south. No big deal.
When we entered the house we realized it hadn’t been cleaned. We called the office and they sent someone out promptly.

Manager's Response

The home is secluded and private with views you can't get anywhere else. Beautifully landscaped. Close to fine dining restaurants and a gormet kitchen if you want to cook yourself. We'll be back again!

This was our second stay, we couldn't wait to get back.

The property is as described.

What isn't described is the overall vibe of the setting. It is greater than the sum of it's parts.
The place grows on you and you don't want to leave. It has become "hallowed grounds" for us.

The guest log confirms these sentiments.

The fireplace is very important to me, and this one rocks. All the great wood to burn you could want.

Kudos to the MPVR Team.
From "more firewood to late check out", they made it happen.

A "top shelf" experience.

Already planning our next opportunity to visit !
A waxing 2nd quarter moon adds a whole new dimension to the location.

Everything about this property is wonderful, the views could not be better, the house is well equipped, it is a location that you just want to spend all day in looking at the ocean cliffs. The outside decks are also amazing and great for happy hour. Only desire is to have another bedroom so could share it with a friend.

My partner and I have been enjoying Ocean Splendor twice per year for the past several years. The property is beautiful, more than words can convey and the energy of the property and home cannot compare with anywhere. I regret that Ocean Splendor is booked for the next year entirely, and we'll not be able to come back in 2022. Ocean Splendor lives within us now. Do not miss your opportunity to experience this divinity when you have the chance.

This home was the epitome of beauty! There are views of the ocean from every room and we had a delightful time watching all the whales go by. This was the most peaceful, and gorgeous house we’ve ever stayed— the perfect place to celebrate our 25th anniversary. When we arrived, there was cognac and candy and a sweet sign welcoming us which was a lovely gift. The only issue we had was that the cover of the hot tub was disintegrating so there were many tiny balls of styrofoam floating in it which wasn’t so appealing. I let the staff know and hopefully it will be replaced. Otherwise— we couldn’t have dreamed up a better experience!!

Truly the highlight of our 2 1/2 week trip down the coast of Oregon and part of northern CA! Everything about Ocean Splendor was terrific. It was so clean and bright and beautiful .... and the view was stunning. We did not want to leave and we are definitely wanting to return and stay longer next time! For the most part, we gathered up groceries in Mendocino and at Princess Seafood in Fort Bragg and stayed in .... just didn't want to leave! But we did have a fabulous dinner at Wild Fish and great lunch at Princess Seafood on the wharf.

We have stayed at Ocean Splendor many times. It is really a beautiful place, and you may never want to leave the house. When not cooking at home, try Wild Fish for dinner ( about a one minute drive). Other recent good dinners were at Luna Trattoria (no reservations, so consider going early) and Cafe Beaujolais, both in Mendocino Village. If possible, try the Sequoia Room at North Coast Brewery in Fort Bragg for Jazz on the weekends. Pacific Star Winery is about 45 minutes north - great for wine tasting and picnic. Take a walk on the trail to see Pygmy Forest (short and easy), and consider longer hike to Fern Canyon. Try Princess Seafood in Noyo Harbour, especially to pick up some Fresh King Salmon to cook back at Ocean Splendor.

The driway was a pleasant beginning, the gate was reassuring with a feeling of total privacy & security, the garden setting I'm sure was well tended at one point or another, the entry way is a prelude to a glorious of what to come.

Ocean Splendor was everything we had hoped for in a vacation home on the coast. We had visited several times before in another vacation home and decided to make a change. So happy we did! The management team did an outstanding job preparing the home for our arrival and followed up throughout our stay making sure our needs were met. Beautiful home and views, we would return.

We had our honeymoon @ Ocean Splendor 10 years ago and have been coming back every year, but stayed at different property by Mendocino Preferred. This 10 year comeback was soooo special to us, as well as much pleasant. With exception of couple of small things like light bulb, no coffee to brew (empty container in the refrigerator, we are used to having it available for us by the company, otherwise we would of come prepared)and garbage disposal confusion (it states to take it out by the fence and note by the fence says that cans are in the garage, but garage is not accessible to renters), ALL went well. Jacuzzi got updated from 10 years ago. No noise at night and so easy to use. Thank you! We would surely come back not in another 10 years, but as my husband said, next year.

We have rented Ocean Splendor multiple times. As always, the location (oceanfront, clifftop) was spectacular, the house was spotless, and Mendocino
Preferred was totally professional.
One thing had changed since our previous rental. The hot tub was set to a temperature of 100 degrees, which feels warm not hot, along with instructions not to try to change the temperature.
If we learn that the hot tub has been fixed or
replaced, we would recommend the property without
hesitation.

Manager's Response

Hi Lew, thank you for your review. As it happens, we have actually ordered a new hot tub for Ocean Splendor but it hadn't arrived in time for your stay. We try our best to keep everything up-to-date, but unfortunately we were JUST shy in your case. We're happy you enjoyed the rest of the property, and should you return to Ocean Splendor you will have a new tub to enjoy. Thanks again!

We stayed at Ocean Splendor for our 10th anniversary, and could not have chosen a more perfect spot! The location is close to everything, and situated on the bluffs, it offered stunning views from everywhere in the house. We could hardly tear ourselves away. The house was immaculate and beautifully and very comfortably appointed. We felt cozy and very much at peace there. The rental process was easy, the staff was very professional and responsive, and our deposit was returned promptly. They even posted a personalized "Happy Anniversary" sign for us! This was undoubtedly one of our best vacation stays. Thank you!!

Total privacy. No detail left unfinished. Mendocino Preferred Vacation Rentals were wonderful to work with and they do a magnificent job managing and maintaining the house. Impossible not to have a wonderful time, in whatever weather God grants us, in this rental.

The view was amazing! The home was beautiful with almost all the amenities you could ask for. We totally enjoyed our stay. We would have given it a 5, but for us, the lack of TV in the living area was a bummer. We are there on NFL playoff weekend and part of our time is generally spent watching a game or two. Otherwise, we couldn't have asked for a better location, beautiful, comfortable home and the most amazing views. We have stayed at Mendocino Preferred properties every year for about the past 10 years and as always, the team is very pleasant and efficient to work with. Thank you.

Ocean Splendor made for a very special getaway for my husband and me. The setting and views are spectacular both from inside the home and on the outdoor deck and bench on the point. The home is very comfortable for those foggy days when you read a book, use the fireplace and look out over the ocean. The kitchen is well equipped for all types of cooking. The bedroom suite is spacious and well laid out but bring your sleep mask if you're a light sleeper because the sky light can wake you up in the morning It was fun having the outdoor hot tub and the deck with comfortable chairs to listen to the waves. The whole place is private and special, and we will definitely be back.

Twenty two years ago we celebrated out 25th anniversary in Mendocino at an unnamed resort. After returning for several years we began exploring many of the wonderful B&B's up and down the coast. Six years ago we discovered Mendocino Preferred and have stayed in several of their properties. We no longer bother looking anywhere else when coming to stay in Mendocino. Never a disappointment. The "team" is a pleasure to deal with. We look forward to many more "Romantic Memories" in Mendocino.

This location was wonderful! The property is very private. The house was well stocked and very comfortable. We enjoyed reading the many journal entries and left this as ours:

Day 1: All we could say was, "Oh my goodness!" upon our arrival -- and then from off the top deck, we saw a pod of whales playing out in the distance. The seals were very content on the buoy.
Day 2: The whales were still playing about and Scully came to visit during our morning coffee. We witnessed a hawk swoop in, successfully catching a squirrel just to the right of the end of the split rail fence. Later that afternoon, we also saw jelly fish in the cove below, to the right of the popular sea cave the kayakers like to paddle through.
Day 3: "Bob" the banana slug was discovered out on the kitchen deck on a piece of firewood.
Day 4: "Rob" the other banana slug was spotted on the glass in front of the Adirondack chairs during our morning coffee and we were treated to 3 deer eating dinner next to the split rail fence as we ate our dinner at the perfect table for 2 where we ate all of our meals this week. Whales were back. A little closer this time but not close enough :)
Day 5: During our last leisurely breakfast we enjoyed seeing a red fox trot through the yard with its breakfast as well as 2 hawks who had made their catch of fish from the water below and fly overhead. We were grateful to have spent our first anniversary here. The privacy and serenity of Ocean Splendor is truly wonderful. We hope to return again!

You already know we had a power outage. The generator didn't work because it was covered with a tarp and the emergency kit was soaking wet. The coffee pot needs to be replaced. Unless you are VERY careful, it overflows everywhere--which it did twice. The desk chair in the bedroom is filthy--fabric on the arms are coated with ??? Fabric on the bed frame looks pretty bad too.

Ocean Splendor is aptly named! From the initial rental to checkout we enjoyed every minute of the stay. The home is gated so privacy is ensured. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and help relieve any stress you made have had getting to Little River. The views are breathtaking from inside and on the multiple decks. The spa is secluded and also allows for a wonderful view of the ocean. The birds and wildlife were so much fun to observe.
The home is beautifully furnished and has two fireplaces which were ready to light when we arrived. Hearing and seeing the ocean while having a roaring fire was heavenly. The kitchen is well equipped and a joy in which to cook. Since we enjoy staying put we normally do most of our own cooking and only go out a few times during the week. A herb garden is located right outside the kitchen in a wooden planter.
We love the raised bed as it makes ocean viewing wonderful. It is a bit of a leap but there is a small stool should you need it.
Overall this is by far the nicest property we have found on the North Coast.

There really aren't enough words to describe our stay at Ocean Splendor in Little River. As we pulled up to the private gated property on a small hilltop over the coast we were already in awe and we hadn't a clue what awaited us on the other side. As we pulled in we were astonished and amazed with the gardens, the beautiful house and most notably, the peaceful solitude that was all ours. And we had only caught a glimpse of the ocean so far from the Beautiful glass windows of the Foyer and Dining Room on the other side.
The house design itself was simply perfect and there are awesome views awaiting you in practically every room. The furnishings are the greatest combination of class, character and charm. The owners have obviously left their spirit here and are sharing with the folks who visit, that is very apparent.
The kitchen is terrific, we cooked and had a great time staying "home" and loving every minute of it. I marveled as I did some dishes at the sink because I had the most amazing view a kitchen could offer as I did. The Living Room is almost all glass with 270 degree views of Little River cove and the Pacific on the other sides. AMAZING! We could rent the Bedroom by itself and be happy with the stunning views and Ocean sounds lulling us to sleep and greeting us as we awoke.
With all that said, it is the outside that truly takes your breath away with very thoughtfully placed decks either up in quiet solitude in the Upper Gardens or the raised platforms on a spit of land that kept us pinching ourselves to make sure it was real and we weren't dreaming.
We now have all year to dream about our next Ocean Splendor getaway and you better believe this place is every single penny we'll be saving to stay for as long as possible next year for our 3rd Anniversary.
Thank You folks for letting us share your little slice of Heaven :)

We have stayed at Ocean Splendor many times. The property is magnificent -- peacefully secluded from Route 1, beautifully landscaped, on the very edge of the Pacific with ocean views that you must experience to appreciate. The home is well kept with a gourmet kitchen. Outside hot tub to enjoy anytime, especially under the stars at night. Two romantic wood burning fireplaces -- bedroom & living room. And, two TVs - bedroom & kitchen, for the husband who just can't miss keeping up with the world while on vacation! Best of the best. We will be staying here again & have recommended to all of our friends.

We recently spent one week at Ocean Splendor. This was our third stay at the property. I am afraid to say how beautiful this place is, for fear it will become too popular and it will be impossible to reserve a stay. The place is totally private. The views from the house and from the various decks are spectacular. The kitchen is great. There are many parks close by for hiking, and there are great restaurants in the area if you are crazy enough to want to leave the property for a few hours. Some of the best wineries in California are a short drive away in Anderson Valley.

The home was an amazing place for my girlfriend and I to getaway for our anniversary.
It was expensive for us, but was well worth it. What a great place.

To say this house was fabulous is an understatement.

To say this house was fabulous is an understatement. The location was very private and pristine. Yet, it was just minutes away from anything you might want e.g. beaches, restaurants, shopping, site seeing, recreation, etc. The big beautiful trees surrounding the property, as well as the incredibly beautiful gardens with brilliant colorful flowers, were breathtaking. Wait, maybe I should save breathtaking for the view! It was such an awe inspiring view, it took our breath away. You couldnt ask for more magnificent grandeur in a view. The home was luxuriously furnished! The furnishings were so comfortable and so beautiful. The real-wood burning fireplaces in the living room and bedroom gave the home a wonderfully relaxed and cozy atmosphere. The skylights provided natural light throughout the house. Much of its ambiance is provided by the use of big glass windows throughout, top-lighting, and continuous skylights. The home was fully stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. The complimentary brandy awaiting our arrival, as well as the beautiful fresh flowers on the dining table, was a very special touch. It was a celebratory weekend for us our 5th year anniversary. The staff left us a lovely Happy Anniversary note taped to the doorso thoughtful! The staff were so cheerful and helpful, they were an absolute delight. Everything about our experience in this home was impeccable it was sublime. This day forward we will be back every year to this very same spot, this most perfect place, to celebrate our anniversary again and again. Thank you Mendocino Preferred Team!

Ocean Splendor is the perfect spot for a couple to experience and enjoy the California coast, this was our third stay. You can relax by the fireplace or watch the waves and sunset on the back deck. The location is great for coastal day trips and wine tasting in the Anderson valley. We stayed in and cooked for three nights, clam chowder and salad from the Market Basket, Hand Cut Filets from Roundman's meat market in Fort Bragg and the last meal we cooked was fresh Dungeness crabs, all with great wines from the Anderson valley. We finished the trip with a fantastic meal in Mendocino. We are already planning our next trip to Ocean Splendor and looking forward to another great time.

Have stayed here many times. Always wonderful if you are looking for best views of the coast and ocean, absolute peace and quiet, and sculputured gardens, you can't match this home. Hot tub on the deck, fireplace in bedroom, your cell phone doesn't work! Great kitchen. Drive thru the gate into the entry & it is you, the estates' beauty, the coast and the quiet.

For us, this was a luxury purchase and it was the best value in a vacation we've ever had. The house is elegant yet comfortable. The views are phenomenal, beyond 180' from the rocky coast to Little River Harbor. It was like being in someone's home. The property management company was friendly and helpful. The surrounding communities offer more things to do than we had time for, though we spent several days staying "home", as it was so wonderfully relaxing and beautiful.
