Sanctuary By the Sea-Dramatic Oceanfront with Hot Tub

We named our home Sanctuary By the Sea because it is truly a haven to relax and rejuvenate. Step away from your everyday stresses and live life as it is meant to be.

Gaze at the ocean with views for miles and miles of the dramatic Northern California coastline. Watch the wildlife—pelicans, Canadian geese, even a family of 3 bald eagles as they soar. Gray whales migrate past the cove and you have a front-row seat.

Enjoy our beautiful oceanfront home with panoramic whitewater views from virtually every room in the house. The home sits on over an acre in the exclusive gated community of Pacific Reefs in Albion. You will say “WOW” when you walk into the beautiful home and look out the window at the crashing waves. The home is open, bright and quiet—only the sound of the waves can be heard.

Master bedroom suite has spectacular whitewater views. There is a king bed with 600 thread count linen. Master bathroom has granite countertop and luxurious thick towels. 2nd bedroom has ocean views and a queen bed with luxurious linens. Large 3rd bedroom has queen bed and twin bed. Linen for the beds and 1 set of towels per guest are provided at no additional charge.

Watch the waves crash while sitting in the warm and inviting living room with wood-burning stove. Vaulted ceilings create a spacious room. Large picture windows practically bring the outdoors in. Beautifully appointed with leather furniture. 37” TV with satellite service, DVD player, CD player and Bose & Definitive speakers.

Large dining table with comfortable seating for 8. Enjoy your meals while watching the ocean views from huge windows on 3 walls.

Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, electric glass cooktop, microwave oven, toaster oven, icemaker and blender. Coffee grinder, coffee maker and electric tea kettle also provided.

2 spacious decks--one has a gas grill and dining area and the other has a private hot tub offering dramatic ocean views.

Why cook when there are 2 gourmet restaurants within a 5-minute drive. The Ledford House is just over the bridge (a 2-minute drive) and offers a nightly bistro dinner featuring 3 courses. Albion River Inn is just a few minutes beyond Ledford House and offers Happy Hour with wines and complimentary appetizers. We are just 7 miles south of Mendocino which has even more dining options.

Come see for yourself what you’ve been missing all your life. You’ll be back again and again.

This is a completely non-smoking property, inside and out. No pets allowed.

Since we are on septic and well, we can accommodate a maximum of 6 guests. All visitors, even those who visit during the day, are considered guests.

This home is an ideal ocean-front vacation destination. The focus is on relaxation and stepping away from your everyday work stresses. Because of its location, internet/wifi are available but limited. Consequently, this house may not be suitable for those looking to work remotely.

2 nights minimum stay. Holidays & special events may require 3 night minimum.

Pictures did not do justice to this home. Most beautiful view of the crashing waves, in a wonderfully quiet private community. Clean and spacious and huge communal space. Would definitely stay again!

Another great weekend in Mendocino
This is our second time using this property and we've loved it each time. The house is a perfect for a comfy, relaxing getaway. We had easy access to the sites in the area, but you don't have to leave to enjoy the area. The views are spectacular from the house!

Sanctuary by the sea
Our stay was very nice. Everything in perfect order, but the best was the owners communication. First, he pre-called on a possible potential issue with the hot tub and was going to talk us through any issues (which by the way were already taken care of before our arrival!). Then we called him due to an issue with the TV (and the world series on LOL). he walked us through that and eventually got support help on the line. Exceptional detail on his part. Lovely stay

Mid century masterpiece with breathtaking views
We literally stopped in our tracks and gasped at the view when we walked in the front door and saw the coastal view! My brother and I were there to celebrate our parents 75th birthdays with our spouses. It was a phenomenal adult get away. House had everything we could ask for and we’d love to go back
