Just ten minutes south of the historic village of Mendocino and only 3 minutes south of the movie-famed Heritage House Inn, TIDEPOOL is a unique cliff-top oceanfront retreat – a spacious 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home perched 100 feet above scenic Whitesboro Cove. Its angular box design, beamed ceilings, and redwood interior and exterior are reminiscent of the Sea Ranch architectural style. A veritable sixty foot wraparound floor-to-ceiling wall of glass, spanning the living and sun rooms, immerses you in the panoramic sweep of the rugged Albion Headlands whitewater coastline, Whitesboro Cove, and the Pacific Ocean. Sit inside or outside on the wind-sheltered deck or in the hot tub at eye level with soaring osprey, pelicans, hawks, and gulls and enjoy the nonstop procession of ocean swells crashing into the rocks below. The pelicans and osprey hover all day long above the cove, crashdiving into the water for the local sushi. During their seasonal migrations, you'll experience the parade of spouts, fins and flukes of Pacific gray whales.
The Master bedroom loft (king bed & half bath) and its oversized North facing window offer a picture perfect view of the crashing waves without even having to lift your head from the pillow and a private cozy deck to enjoy the sun or your own private view of the stars. The 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on the first floor (King bed and 2 twin-XL's) are located down the hall from the galley kitchen. The downstairs Master bedroom suite features its own recently remodeled bathroom with an oversized tiled shower and bench combo with bar-holds for safety. A formal dining room comfortably seats six to eight and the Franklin fireplace compliments any meal. While dining, enjoy the pre-recorded keyboard selections on the Yamaha Electric Clavinova or the musicians amongst you can make your own music on the Clavinova and Electric Vibraphone.
Stretch out in the paired Scandinavian leather recliners in the privacy of the all-cedar-and-glass Lindal sunroom and listen to your favorite music while meditating upon the ever-changing panoramic ocean, coastal, and bay vistas. No matter the weather outside, it’s always comfy inside because of the house’s central heating. With a cozy fire burning in the wood stove, enjoy the spectacular ocean sunsets and the grazing and winged wildlife while ensconced upon the living room’s comfy leather sofas. Both the living room and upstairs master bedroom feature a Bose audio and 55-inch HDTV entertainment center fed by Roku set-top box with complimentary Youtube TV(55 TV channels). DVD player. iPod docking cable to stereo.
Like an oceanfront oasis, your privacy is assured – located at the end of a cul-de-sac; TIDEPOOL is part of a private, GATED road just two minutes south of the Ledford House Restaurant and Albion River Restaurant, two great dining experiences on the coast. Nearby, the quaint town of Albion offers everything you need for your much-needed retreat, and the Albion Flats Cafe, just 3 minutes North, cooks up the best budget-priced breakfasts on the North Coast while offering a surrealistic view from below the last remaining wooden trestle bridge on CA Highway One. Although there is NO BEACH ACCESS from our cliff top property, you can enjoy stopping off at Van Damme Beach in Little River or Big River Beach in Mendocino during your ten minute drive into Mendocino.
35+ Mbps broadband Internet connection and WiFi is available anywhere in the house so bring your tablets, laptops, and Roku devices to stream your favorite video entertainment. Roku's provided if you want to login to your streaming services.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tidepool - a very peaceful place. The host was accessible easy to communicate with. There were abundant available instructions and information about the property and location. We would readily return.
This is an amazing property!!! Howard is a great host and we absolutely enjoyed his wonderful home. Very comfortable, plenty of room, spectacular views and the jacuzzi is off the hook!!! This THE place to take in the Mendocino Coast!
The best part of the weekend was the stunning view and the hot tub looking out over the ocean. It was very comfortable for 2 couples sharing the house.
Just as advertised!! A beautiful oceanfront property with a jacuzzi. It was a Beautiful and Super welcoming space… obviously set up for family gatherings!! There is a beautiful dining space, comfy sunroom, beautiful ocean view TV/fireplace room, and it was obvious it’s a musical family!! All was geared towards comfort, ease, family, fun and serenity!!!Highly recommend…. And we will surely go back.
Everything met or exceeded expectations. Breathtaking views, abundant wildlife, very clean. Howard (host) was always available, helpful, and informative with local knowledge. This is a very special property and we are grateful to have spent a week there.
Exceptional location overlooking the ocean with a hot tub off the deck. Comfortable living room and additional seating room with the same amazing views. A great place to truly relax and enjoy the ever changing coastline.
Such a beautiful spot! The hot tub and fire place were a must for us. Wonderful communication with the owner. We enjoyed the amazing views and had everything we needed for a relaxing coastal getaway,
Although this home is dated, it is stocked with all the amenities you could possibly need. Beautiful location. Our group agreed that we would return to this property. Great communication with host too.
Amazing views of the Pacific. You can watch the waves breaking on the rocks for hours. Nice, comfortable home with good beds and furniture. All the plates and utensils you could ever need.
This beach house had the best possible views. Seeing deer on the lawn made the view even more spectacular. The house was comfortable and the owner was informative and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much.
We spent 5 nights at the beautiful property. You really can’t beat the view from the living room/sun room. Process was easy and the house had everything we needed.
Wonderful home (and host) The view through the floor to ceiling windows is amazing. The house has everything you need! Comfortable beds, plush bath towels, hot tub and well stocked kitchen.
