The ground floor offers a second bedroom with a king-size bed, en-suite, and patio slider to the back deck.. The third bedroom is a large Primary suite that features a gas fireplace, and an en-suite including an oversized soaking tub and walk-in shower. The floor-to-ceiling windows make it the perfect spot to relax in comfort while watching the waves. A glass door leads you to the lower patio where the warm and inviting ocean-view hot tub awaits you.

From this ideal location, you can be at the beach within 3 min. Albion River Inn, Ledford House, and the Albion Store are less than 10 min away. Van Damme State Park, Little River Inn, and Little River Deli are just 15 min away. The Mendocino Village and Big River Beach are 17 min away.

Amazing views of Pacific Ocean from Rio Luna!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A total of 6 people (3 couples) stayed very comfortably at Rio Luna in April. What an amazing house! It overlooks the Navarro River and Pacific Ocean. The open kitchen was very functional and fun to cook in. We were originally going to eat at a restaurant on our second night, but we decided to "stay in" to take full advantage of all this house has to offer. Very memorable stay and we hope to be back someday!

Perfect Home Base to explore Mendocino County!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rio Luna exceeded all of my high expectations! The house is beautiful and takes full advantage of the amazing views. It was equipped with anything that we could have needed and Mendocino Preferred made sure check-in/check-out and all communication was simple and flawless. The location of Rio Luna is ideal! We were able to explore the coast from Manchester to Fort Bragg with ease and also drive highway 128 through the Anderson Valley, which may be the most beautiful drive I’ve ever taken! Thanks for sharing this wonderful place, we will be back!

Where the River and the Ocean Meet

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 home is delightful. The location is wonderful though it’s tricky to find. Follow the directions , not the GPS . This home is welcoming and has a calming feel to it. Loved the music posters and lyrics throughout the house. You look down on Navarro River from the kitchen and dining windows. Such a unique view. The oval windows at the end of the living room and also in the master bedroom suite look out through the trees to Navarro Beach and the ocean. A pretty and interesting view. The upstairs is open and airy and comfortable. Unusual fireplace , but it puts out nice heat and burns a good fire. Nice on a foggy or wet day. The upstairs bathroom is amazing and is across from the Queen bedroom ( which is just ok). The kitchen is so well stocked with cookware, dishes , glasses, etc. It’s a kitchen for those who like to cook. Both bedrooms downstairs are massive , but only the front bedroom and bath is redone. It’s lovely. The other room though large and practical, it is dark and stuck in the 80’s. Needs a refresher. Other than that no complaints. It was so nice to bring our two dogs own h a nice home. Mendocino Preferred was great to work with. We’d definitely rent through them and would return to Rio Luna for sure.

Amazing Rio Luna

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 is our second time at Rio Luna. We chose to come back because of our amazing time the first time. The home is clean, well-equipped with everything, but the most wonderful thing is the view and close proximity to the beach. It's also close to wine tasting in Phylo...best pinot noirs!! If you love the northern CA coast, this place gives you the epitome of that. Two small things:Would recommend a few more beach towels. House sleeps 6 and there were only 3Would recommend being prepared to get the ability to charge an electric car. It is the future & more and more people will be getting them.
