About This Rental
Embrace coastal life and let peace be your guide at The Lighthouse, a luxurious and elegantly appointed 4-bed, 4-bath home situated on 1.83 acres of natural beauty in Little River. This secluded seaside cottage boasts ocean views, ample natural light, and Asian-inspired decor that will transport you to spa-like tranquility. Let The Lighthouse be a beacon guiding you to the vacation of a lifetime!
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel calm wash over you, as majestic ocean views inspire awe and reflection. The lush, natural garden and forested land keep the air fresh and clean, and Buddhist statues invite you to sit for a minute… breathe in, breathe out, and release your worries. Inside, you’ll find high-end amenities combined with welcoming flourishes that will make this feel like a home away from home.
Exposed beams lend a rustic cottage air, while skylights and clerestory windows ensure ample natural light. The music room is the closest you can get to forest bathing inside: a window overlooking the green, towering trees lets in light while sparking flights of fancy. The open floor plan for the living room and dining room offers expansive views through the French doors onto the deck, and a wall of windows gives you a front row seat to sunsets over the water. On warm evenings, dine al fresco on the deck with the ocean as your backdrop.
In the fully-equipped kitchen, you’ll find top-of-the-line appliances, including a GE oven and 4-top electric stove, a microwave, and more. You’ll also have a refrigerator large enough to store provisions for the whole crew. The table seats 6, and the breakfast bar at the counter provides a cozy spot for two. Or, gather with friends or family and grill up fresh fish, meat, and fixings from our local shops on the outdoor barbecue.
The ocean-facing deck is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the view, while a private hot tub and sauna tucked away by the trees evoke a spa experience.
For sleeping arrangements, everyone will enjoy lavish comfort. Three of the bedrooms are en-suite, with one additional bedroom perfect for teens, friends, or families needing a little bit more space. All four bathrooms feature stone accents and stone-tiled showers. One bathroom has a deep bathtub perfect for settling in for a relaxing soak.
The three en-suite bedrooms channel private spa retreats and feature king-sized mattresses, mirrored closets, and unique flourishes, such as exposed beams, rustic writing desks, and natural light. Windows offer views from the garden to the forest while maintaining privacy. One of the bedrooms has French doors to the deck plus a small TV. The fourth, studio-style bedroom has a kitchenette with a microwave, small refrigerator and sink, along with a chess table and scenic views.
When you want to venture out, it’s a short drive to Van Damme State Park, which offers a waterfall hike and a beach with fire pits, so you can roast s’mores while you watch the waves roll in. Spring Ranch, a hidden gem, offers hiking trails along the water. A 5-minute drive north will take you to Mendocino, where you can enjoy shopping, dining, art galleries, museums, and hikes along the headlands. Visit the blowhole and witness the power of the waves as they crash over the rocks, or for a calmer experience, head to Big River Beach and dig your toes into the sand. You can rent kayaks or canoes to paddle up Big River, but if you prefer to stay firmly on land, the Big River Haul Road offers miles of trails up along the estuary.
A little farther north, Fort Bragg features the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, charming railroad and historical displays, shops, galleries, award-winning restaurants, and dessert shops like Cowlicks Ice Cream, which is sure to delight the whole family! MacKerricher State Park offers more hiking trails, beach access, and the famed Boardwalk to Laguna Point.
The Lighthouse is perfect for families, friend groups, and couples looking for a comfortable and rejuvenating desti
