Enjoy this stylish, romantic loft just steps from Cook's Beach, near the village of Gualala on the Mendocino Coast. You'll have a private studio with its own secluded entrance and private hot tub. Walk to the beach and the beloved Saint Orres Hotel bar and restaurant. Excellent dining options are a short drive away in Gualala, Anchor Bay, and Point Arena, as is great hiking in Sea Ranch and Salt Point.

The Little Dachita is perched above the Pacific Ocean at Bournes Landing, west of Highway 1. You'll be surrounded by whitewater ocean views -- in your king bed, in the swivel egg chairs, outdoors in your private hot tub, and even in the luxurious shower. If you decide to venture out, sunny Cook's Beach is a few steps away, as is the beloved St. Orres hotel bar and restaurant.

In the loft you'll also find a small desk, a counter and sink, a Keurig with coffee and tea pods, and a small refrigerator suitable for a bottle of wine or similar. The loft is professionally cleaned and the hot tub is professionally serviced before each guest's stay.

In order to make sure everything is just right for your stay, we require booking at least a week ahead of arrival. So if the dates you want are available, it's best to go ahead and reserve them as soon as you can.

During your visit, we (your hosts) will be available by message. No in-person contact is required or expected. There is one other building on the property that is typically occupied. You will probably not interact with the occupants.

The loft has its own parking space on the property. Please note that the ground is not very level and the walkways are gravel. Also, entry to the loft requires climbing a flight of stairs.

The beach is an easy walk, as is the Saint Orres Hotel bar and restaurant. There are also a few pleasant strolling routes through the adjacent neighborhoods.

Little Dachita is a few steps from Cook's Beach and to the beloved Saint Orres hotel bar and restaurant. It's also close to many superb dining destinations featuring local ingredients and first-rate chefs. You'll be a 3-minute drive to Gualala (Trinks Cafe, Gualala Seafood Shack, Upper Crust Pizza) or Anchor Bay (Anchor Bay Thai Kitchen), and about 15 minutes to Point Arena (Bird Cafe, Izakaya Gama, Pelican Bakery, Franny's Cup and Saucer). The charming town of Elk, a bit further up the highway, hosts the Michelin-starred Harbor House Inn. Andersen Valley wine country is about an hour away.

A car is required to get to the village of Gualala, or to Anchor Bay, Sea Ranch, Point Arena or Salt Point. Parking is plentiful in all these areas (in Sea Ranch, visitor parking is restricted to certain lots and hours). Rideshares and taxis are not typically available. There is a parking space on the property for guests.

The Mendocino coast here is wild and rural. The property is often visited by wildlife including deer, foxes, large birds and more. Utilities including broadband internet, PG&E electricity and cell phone service are provided at the property but are prone to disruption. Be prepared to enjoy the unexpected!

Cancellation Policy: Fifty percent (50.00%) of the total booking charges will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 30 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 30 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.
