SeaEscape was everything as advertised and so much more. Hosts Seamus and Natalia imagined a guest's every whim and comfort and provided a warm, welcoming home! The pictures didn't capture the sound of the waves crashing in the cove below, the pods of whales passing by, the glorious sunsets over the Pacific, the milky way overhead at night and the moon glistening over the water chased by Venus and Jupiter. Incredibly comfortable bedrooms with ocean views, a well stocked kitchen, a beautiful rock hearth, spacious outdoor deck and a wonderful hot tub. We couldn't have asked for anything more! What a fabulous way to celebrate any special occasion. We can hardly wait to return! The beaches up and down the coast are beautiful, with some incredible hidden gems. Lots of terrific restaurants with good food and breathtaking views, great hiking and wildlife, Catch a Canoe for a trip up the Little River, the Skunk Train in Mendocino, highway 128 through the redwood forest and your pick of wineries -- so much to take advantage of . . . but you won't want to leave the deck overlooking the ocean! You won't believe how good life can be!

Home Away from Home

Prior to renting this amazing location, I read the reviews to see if I would be interested and they all have it right. Starting with the phone call after arriving from the owner, Seamus to make sure all was well, to the quiet and secure feeling you have to the fully equiped house with just about everything you can imagine including the welcome bottle of wine. On top of all of this you have amazing views, waves crashing against the sea cliff below and on our day of departure a pod of about 20+ whales swimming north joining us on the journey home.

I would have to say, if you are looking for a very special place to land where you don't have to leave or if you are looking for that place to rest up in after a day of seeing the local sites, you can't go wrong with Seascape. I would not hesitate to come back.

Spectacular and Comfortable Escape by the Sea

Our stay at Seaescape was incredible. The house exceeded expectations. The setting is private and the views from the deck (and hot tub!) overlooking the Pacific were unbelievable. The house itself is comfy, with the best stocked kitchen in a home rental I have experienced. It even had laundry. The hosts go "above and beyond" in making sure your stay is great; it is clear that they have put a personal touch into the business of rental property (no anonymous management company here). The location is superb -- nearby Elk is a charming village with beach of driftwood and dramatic rocks. We went horseback riding at nearby Irish Beach. You can go for a walk in the redwoods or kayaking to sea caves. We basically explored everything on the Mendocino coast from Ft. Bragg to Pt. Arena in our week at Seaescape. If you want privacy, comfort, and the cool calm of the Mendocino Coast, this is a place not to miss. I brought my kids (two under age 10 and my in-laws) My family is coming back (hopefully soon).
