Hi Peter and Molly,

I just want to say thank you the stay at your place in Albion. My girlfriend Denise, her little one Frida, and I had such a peaceful weekend there. We BBQ'd oysters, roasted crab, made delicious breakfast, enjoyed the views from the dining room, the top deck, the hot tub, and your beautiful yard, and appreciated the heat from the wood oven.

It was a much needed weekend of relaxation. I look forward to staying there in the future. Maybe take some more family members for a family getaway.

Many thanks,

Luis, Denise, & Frida

We have been spending the Christmas holidays up on the Mendo Coast now since 1999. This is the first year at Sea & River and it was a lovely experience. The cottage is spectacularly placed on a bluff overlooking crashing waves and rocky outcrops -- the view cannot be beat.

The owners were very easy to work with in terms of securing the dates, what to expect upon arrival and departure, and other useful information.

The cottage is quite cozy and warm, and very suitable for couples and families!

The location is quite nice as well -- very close to the town of Mendocino and a short drive to many fabulous and friendly wineries. While the kitchen is more than adequate for cooking your own meals, there is a plethora of many fabulous restaurants nearby as well.

The Mendo Coast is a special place in and of itself -- the Sea & River property is a great one to choose for your next getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The spot is as gorgeous as we expected it to be, and quiet, as close as it is to the road. We were lucky to see whales from the deck one morning as the fog lifted. We’d brought binoculars and a scope, so we got some good looks at them, despite the distance (juvenile gray whales, the park ranger at McKerricher suggested, when we told him the next day).

We drove over to Hendy Woods SP to walk through the old redwoods one day (with a stop to taste wine at Navarro Vineyards) and kayaked up the Big River another.

There was plenty of room for the seven of us.

And the foosball table was a big hit.

We’ll definitely consider returning – and will recommend the house to friends.

Peter and Molly,
This was our second time staying at Sea & River House, and it was again a magnificent experience. The house is beautiful and we enjoyed being able to watch the sunset from the hot tub in the evening. The view of nature is magnificent. The addition of WiFi saved us the choice between worrying and a trip into town. We stayed during the Mendocino music festival which was spectacular. Thank you again for a great vacation.

My family is the center of my universe. My children and I are separated today by miles of ocean and land, for my husband and I live in India and the two elder boys, with their families, live in Fremont, CA and the youngest boy lives in the UK. Your house was an ideal retreat for us - we lived together, cooked together, ate together, played together, went out sight-seeing together - for three fun-filled days (13th, 14th & 15th of May 2011). If only the youngest (in UK) had been with us, our family would have been complete. We thought of him constantly as there was a room in your house vacant and waiting for him.
Your house was perfect for us. Everything one could need was so thoughtfully provided. We drank in the beauty of the surroundings, the ocean sang a lullaby to us every night and the river sent up a spray of mist early in the mornings. We never tired of looking at Brokeback Cove. You had provided books, brochures on local sights, playing cards, crayons, music - oh, we loved to get back home and warm up in front of the fireplace! What I liked in particular was the feel it gave one of being one's own home. My grandson who is one and a half years old enjoyed himself thoroughly! Thank you for sharing your lovely abode with us. I hope it goes on to give many more visitors the joy it gave all of us!

We truly enjoyed our time at the sea and river house. It is in a really nice spot overlooking the ocean. The house is well stocked and clean.

I also had a great experience with Peter. He is extremely nice and helpful!

Perfect place to relax over a wild stretch of ocean. Nothing fancy, just a comfortable beach home with a fireplace, hot tub and amazing views. Huge plus we could bring a dog

We spent a long weekend in this beautiful home overlooking the crashing waves with our sons and their families. The home is cozy and comfy, great beds, well-stocked kitchen and overlooks the beautiful Mendocino coast. We took a walk on the beach nearby, drove into Mendocino and Ft. Bragg for shopping, wine-tasting and breakfast at the famous Little River Inn. We have penciled this in as a yearly event with our kids and feel so blessed to have found it!
