Albion House | Exquisite, Private Oceanfront Getaway

2 Bedroom House in Albion

Very private, luxury property with spectacular ocean views, perfect for a family outing or surprise intimate getaway.
This custom, gated blufftop home overlooks Albion's picturesque Navarro Beach, where the Navarro River meets the Pacific Ocean. Listen to the soothing sounds of the waves and marvel in the panoramic views from anywhere along wrap-around deck, including from the radiating warmth of the amazing, heated Galanter & Jones loveseat. Watch the sun melt into the Pacific while relaxing with a glass of award-winning, locally-crafted wine or cider. Grab a few fluffy towels, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and stargaze on a cool, clear night in the secluded, roomy hot tub, located on its own deck. Its 58 hydrotherapy jets will ease you into your getaway.
An established, popular vacation home on the Mendocino coast, Baleen - named for the blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) that can be seen from the deck during migration - was exquisitely furnished by a professional decorator and completely renovated from the ground up. It is a meticulous melding of comfort and serenity, and includes:
- two private, gorgeous bedroom suites (plus two queen-sized, customized sofabeds--one in each lounge)
- 3 full bathrooms (complete with heated floors)
- full gourmet kitchen
- Speed Queen washer/dryer
-A Lopi cast-iron gas stove with 3-sided bay windows (and remote) to curl up and watch the dancing flames from all angles on cold nights - no smoke and no scout badge required to start it!
-A backup generator with automatic transfer switch to seamlessly provide power to entire house in the event of a power outage or shut-off
- all the expected (and even unexpected) amenities of a luxury vacation home, including multiple flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth-enabled stereo, commercial cooktop/indoor grill, double wall stoves, granite countertops of rose quartz and labradorite, local artwork, designer furniture, bamboo flooring throughout the first floor, and a telescope for whale watching.
The activities you can enjoy are endless. Take a leisurely sunrise or sunset walk or brisk jog along the open, secluded stretch of sand below the house: access is just a minute's drive down the hill to free, beachfront parking. (There is no direct beach access from the house.) Travel a few miles south to Elk and experience the exquisite cuisine of chef Matt Kammerer at his 2 Michelin-starred restaurant in The Harbor House Inn. You can also head north for several miles to dine at one of several fine renowned restaurants like Ledford House. Then go for a stroll in downtown Mendocino, soak in the landscape, or take a drive up the coast. Try the award-winning Anderson Valley wines just east of Baleen. Experience Mendocino at a slow, inspired pace.

Summary: We stayed at Baleen as part of a 50th birthday celebration. East coasters on a West Coast adventure and Baleen was such a huge part of the successfulness of our trip! This house has it all- views for miles, squeaky clean (walking with no socks kind of clean), fully stocked kitchen, all the niceties you didn't know you needed, and amazing communication with our host! There was so much to do and see in Mendocino County, but the best part was coming "home" to Baleen, sitting on the deck, enjoying a sunset over the wild Pacific and counting our daily blessings. Positives: clean, amazing views, comfy beds and pillows, fully functioning kitchen, lots of personal touches Negatives: We woke up on day five and realized we had to leave.
