Rosemary's Retreat is a gorgeous property and clearly a beloved family home. It has an absolutely stunning location (better than the photos) and you can spend the entire time just staring at the ocean. The location is walkable to the gorgeous Russian Gulch State park, with nice hiking trails. The home is clean, spacious and well-equipped. The living room sectional is devine. My only suggestion would be to add some reading chairs to the back porch. Our dog loved the outdoor area and the home is extremely pet friendly, which is so appreciated.
We had a very frustrating arrival process. You should 100% stay here but you need to know a few simple things that were not communicated prior to arrival. Most importantly, it is very likely that you will not have cell service at the home. Since all instructions are on an app, if you do not screenshot BOTH the access codes and the wifi password ahead of time, you may have issues. (We had screenshotted the access code but not the wifi). Your GPS also probably will not get you to the right place, so ask ahead of time for specific driving directions. Finally, the padlock to access the door operates differently than every other padlock we have ever used. We had to drive back into Mendocino to get cell service and call Vacasa's call center twice before being able to get a local contact. All of this could have been avoided with better instructions and a direct local contact number provided in advance.
