This is not our first trip—and we anticipate more to come. I must say, I really appreciate your excellence in customer service. The weather was excellent too! 60’s (mid to high) for the 4th of July week—wow! Sacramento was sporting 100-105º weather all week.

We wanted minimal distractions and this is the perfect place. Perhaps the best part of this week was having the beach to ourselves.

We truly enjoyed ourselves and your home.

P.S. We discovered that the gas stations in Point Arena close early—but enjoyed visiting Gualala about 15 minutes down the road—and we gassed up. ?

Thanks again for another peaceful visit. This has been my 3rd time at this wonderful house, but I am already looking forward to visit #4. There is no better place to disappear and recharge the batteries.

Well our second visit here was even better than our first…if that is possible! We have had the best time here at your home! This trip we brought some good friends with us and they are in love with this house and Irish Beach just as we are! The weather has been picture perfect. The boys (Tyler and Jake) spent a lot of time on the beach throwing baseball and even braved the Pacific today and jumped in so they could tell their friends in Tallahassee that they “jumped in the cold Pacific!” LOL! The donkeys came to visit late one night and we had our apples ready to feed them. We saw a ton of deer every day which was so nice! Once again the house felt like “home” as soon as we got here and we hate to leave tomorrow! We had a lovely time here at the house and also visiting the nearby towns. We had a wonderful breakfast at “Queenies” one morning and the best lunch at the Mendocino Hotel! Your recommendation to visit the “Bakery” was a winner. Thank you again for opening up your home to us. We hope to return very soon.

Dear Alex and Cathy,

This is DEFINITELY NOT Petaluma!

Thank you for not only letting us book this last minute but getting these clueless idiots straight on the location with two people who didn’t know the difference between Petaluma and Manchester!

We were impressed with not only how well stocked the place was with all of the basics, but your very thorough documentation that covered everything from working the TV to great local restaurants! This being said, we never did figure out the DVD player (turned the Blu-Ray on, set the Sony to DVD, but had no clue which input we had to get the TV to see anything).

We LOVED the hot tub!

We saw lots of red tailed hawks and strangely didn’t see any deer until we read in the guestbook all of these firsthand accounts of seeing deer and, boom, there suddenly appeared a full flock/herd/gaggle in the front yard. No donkeys though.

While not that impressed with Pizza and Cream (not bad, but not great either) in Point Arena, we were surprised with the great quality of the Little River Inn’s great breakfast!

Irish Beach is beautiful and our dogs had a blast running loose around it (only when there by ourselves, of course).

Thanks for a GREAT 11th Anniversary weekend!

Visit #8

Dear Cathy and Alex—

I had wondered what I could possibly say that was different from what I had written on any of our previous 7 stays. But here goes—

We absolutely love it here. Alex and Cathy are wonderful hosts! The house is always perfect when we arrive. New items since we were here in April: 1) Coffee maker – makes wonderful coffee that the Corey’s provide. Keeps the pot nice and hot! 2) The new HDTV – wow! Really nice, fun to watch movies on. 3) New pots and pans – nice addition to a wonderful kitchen. Easy to cook in and easy to clean up.

Will be back for our week the end of October!

This house was so much better than we expected (which was already a lot!) We felt very relaxed the entire time. Great privacy and amazing views! If only we could have stayed longer.

Thank you so much,
Jon and Whitney

Had a great stay—loved your beautiful home and well equipped kitchen!

Thanks so much—

Thanks again for a lovely stay. As always it was very quiet. We missed the donkeys this time. Weather was great, rhododendron beautiful in Mendocino.

We were here in Sept/Oct. last year, so our third visit feels like home.

Very much enjoyed the restaurant in Elk called Bridget Dolan’s Café. (Thursday thru Monday.) Queenie’s Stagecoach Café great for breakfast.
