2 Bedroom House in Mendocino

Hinoki House was designed and built by master craftsman Thamby Kumaran, his mentor Ichikawa Kihei, and Michael Singer. Traditional post-and-beam Japanese craftsmanship is combined with classic California design sensibilities to create light-filled rooms and a strong sense of form and materiality. This unique property sits on a wild meadow, bounded on two sides by cypress hedgerows and within reach of the Pacific Ocean. Whether you are looking for quiet relaxation or a bit of outdoor adventure, the property and location offer both. From your front door stroll less than 1/2 mile to Point Cabrillo State Park which includes the historic 1909 Light Station (30.5 acres), approximately 270 acres of undeveloped coastal bluffs, prairie, and numerous coves, including Frolic Cove, the site of the
Hinoki House's peaceful setting is the perfect retreat from the hustle of modern life. With its old-world craftsman architecture, zen shoji screens, and natural setting it is truly a tranquil escape. The Primary queen has its own full bathroom upstairs, and downstairs is a double bedroom with its own full bathroom.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 4th stay at Hinoki house and it never disappoints. It is truly a gem. Well maintained and clean. Sorry to see some of the older plantings around the deck and foyer dying off due to gophers. Will definitely come back again.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We selected this house for rental due to its unique style. It did not disappoint as the construction and look was very interesting. We enjoyed our stay and the close walk to the beach overlook in the neighborhood to watch the sunset was an added bonus. The rental was not stocked as well as we typically get at this price point and is showing its age.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What an amazing house! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were comfy, the house is thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed. The property is very beautiful, and we got to see some cool wildlife (turkeys, deer, birds). We found a trail to Frolic Cove within walking distance of the house that led to a beautiful, secluded beach and waterfall! The house is within close proximity to the glass beach and some great restaurants. We would definitely choose the Hinoki House again if we find ourselves on the Northern California coast again. Thanks!!

Summary: The unit and location were great. We were not sure what to do with the trash (we left it in the garage next to some garbage pails). We couldn't figure out how to turn off the oven (silly us) and had to have a chat with an online person to figure that out. It took some guessing to figure out how to use the TV (age? lack of experience with cable?). However, hearing and seeing and walking to the ocean was enjoyable.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Hinoki House was everything we hoped for and more. The property is absolutely beautiful and offers a unique tranquility and peacefulness that we hadn't experienced in any other rental before. The management team and cleaning crew went above and beyond to make us comfortable and included some thoughtful touches throughout the house that made us feel extraordinarily welcome, i.e. the New Years confetti popper, the dog toy in the basket and the towel swans! Wow! It made such a difference to us, thank you so much. The check-in process was seamless and the management team was excellent in their communication with us. We will definitely be returning as soon as possible! Thank you, Mendocino Preferred!

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mendocino Preferred Vacation Rentals made the booking experience easy including key pickup and drop off. They were readily available by phone for questions. The Hinoki House is really impressive architecturally. It was prefect for two couples and our two small dogs. Nice touch, two dog biscuits were provided! It was nice to relax on the porch, though new garden furniture is warranted. The kitchen is well organized. We could easily walk to the Lighthouse and the bluffs. We will be back!

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the architecture and feel of the home with all the windows and the small view of the ocean. House was comfortable and clean and kitchen had most everything one needs. Our only complaint was that the beds weren’t real comfortable. The lighthouse was a nice walk through the neighborhood connecting to a trail in the park. The house was close to town and activities.
