“Nestled among Cypress trees, the cliffside oceanfront cottages create a serene escape, especially with gourmet dining overseen by Chef Victor Passalacqua; I find the pet-friendly accommodations with ocean views particularly appealing. Add to that the closeness to Greenwood Creek State Beach and Mendocino's historic village, and it's clear why this is an ideal spot for romantic getaways. It's a cozy experience I'd recommend.”
