Guest Reviews

We loved our stay in The Poop Deck and San Juan! Due to COVID, our family group needed two separate accommodations, since a couple family members are high risk and some of the other family members weren't able to quarantine. This neighborhood was the perfect solution! There was plenty of room to gather outside--we made use of The Poop Deck's outdoor kitchen and firepit. We loved using the picnic/gathering space on the neighborhood pier, which was the perfect place to enjoy sunsets and harbor sounds. The location was ideal--we never had to drive more than 20 minutes to any activity, and could easily walk to nearby restaurants. We weren't sure what it would be like to stay in a RV (The Poop Deck), but we were pleasantly surprised to find it sparkling clean with a super comfy bed! The tiny house (San Juan) was absolutely adorable, and now we are avidly hunting for a tiny house of our own! We hope to return in the future with a larger group, now we know how well this neighborhood works for group activities.

Communication with this host was great and we enjoyed visiting with him during our visit. We had never stayed in a trailer before and were pleasantly surprised. Our grandkids loved the bunk beds and we appreciated the queen-sized bed. The kitchen was convenient and the appliances worked well. We made s'mores over the outdoor fire ring and enjoyed wonderful views from the dock deck. The flobed latex mattresses were really appreciated since that is what we sleep on at home. It was so nice to be able to walk to great dinners at Casa del Sol and The Wharf. We would love to return!

Friendly staff eager and always available to answer questions!

We were sad when our family reunion camp out was canceled due to COVID, so we decided to head to the cool weather coast. We were not disappointed in choosing to stay in the Poop Deck trailer! Like a home away from home! We have already told many people about our positive experience with the accommodations and friendly staff...A++! We will NEVER stay in a motel again, already looking forward to our next visit!

it was great.

We stayed at the Elk Meadows house for three memorable an relaxing nights. This was a perfect getaway for our family. The proximity to the beach made daily walks a part of our routine and the charming hamlet of Elk was there for our basic needs. We managed a couple of day trips: to the south to see Point Arena and the the north to explore Ft Bragg and Mendocino, but some of our best moments were spent at the rental home: dining in the backyard, watching the sunset, building a fire in the wood stove, and catching glimpses of the wildlife that roam the area. The home was clean and well appointed....we'll be back

I like new experiences and being on the harbor was a great new one. Our mini house was the perfect size for our family of four. And being right on the dock with the water view was picturesque perfect. So many different beaches and parks to see; our days were filled with natural beauty.

Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. The location is wonderful and this property was perfect for my husband and I along with our two little boys. The beds had new super comfy mattresses (our littlest one did great sleeping on the bottom bunk for the first time without waking up or falling!) The heating and cooling system allowed us to have a comfortable temp inside the trailer at all times. Everything is clean and well stocked with everything you need. The location can not be beat: close to many beaches and state parks, and since its right in the harbor you have access to all kinds of delicious seafood options! We grilled our own fish right here on the deck. Cant wait to visit again!

I emailed Carlon a few times with questions and they were answered quick and our host Jen was super nice and helpful too.

We had never been up to Noyo Harbor before and I stumbled upon The Cochito online and it looked perfect. We had a family of 4 and it was absolutely perfect for us. It was clean and super cute inside. The huge deck overlooking the harbor was great and we spent a lot of time out there fishing for crab. We cant wait to visit again!

This is a good spot for sure. The RV was clean, lovely, and the fire pit leveled the experience up. There are tons of good fish places along the roadeach of which has a cool view of the harbor (harbor seals!). The host was responsive and as hands-off as we wanted. Thanks so much! We liked the place so much that we tried to extend our stay, but the place was already booked. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I are not campers, but we wanted to experience something different. The Poop Deck was perfect! Carlon (Pacific Blue) was lovely to deal with and super responsive/helpful with all of my questions (I had plenty). Once we got there, everything was so simple and well-organized/laid out, we didn't need Carlton (but if we did, it we knew it would be no problem and that was comforting). While you don't have a direct view of the water, you can walk to the Sportsman's community deck in under 30 seconds and enjoy the view. One of the families was even fishing off of the pier a few days. In less than 5 minutes walk, you're at a small public beach (where you can see a gorgeous sunset). A 5 minutes walk in the other direction, and you can hit up Princess Market and get the fresh fish of the day (oysters and dungeness were part of our dinners) to grill outside of the Poop Deck. There's a nice prep area wiht a fridge and sink outside so you don't even need to bring the fish inside! We had plenty of privacy -- people were friendly and respectful. Given this review is during the time of COVID, we were trying to avoid people and also respect the locals. It was very easy to do. I also want to add that the bed was super comfy, the heat worked well (we used it one night for a short while), the sound system is really good (bring CDs), and the kitchen had a pretty good selection of flatware/dishes/pots/pans/utensils. Oh, and there's a fire pit which was really nice as it got cooler! We will definitely be back!

The beautiful Elk Meadow home was perfect for our needs! It was very quiet, plus an easy stroll to the beach, market and Queenie's Cafe. No wifi or phone service, but if needed, we enjoyed our walks to the market for free Wifi. It was easy to unplug! The short drive to the Village of Mendocino is a must!

I spoke with Carlin 2-3 times. First after finding the property online to ask a few questions. After explaining we could crab fish, I asked if there were crab crackers at the property. There were not. He purchased some to be there for our arrival. He was extremely helpful through the whole process! Sherry and the cleaning ladies were very nice and accommodating. Richard helped coach us through our first experience at crab fishing, offering places to go eat, etc... Jen was very nice. Everyone on the team was great!

We had never spent time in an RV before and was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable everything was! The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and the bed was really comfortable! What really made it perfect was the outdoor space with a picnic table with umbrella, BBQ and outdoor seating around a fire pit. We used it all! It was a quick walk to the beach at the harbor, and a quick walk down to the restaurants and fresh seafood market. We loved our stay at Pacific Blue and would rent it again in a heartbeat!

The house was amazing; spacious, comfortable beds and more than enough space for our party of 6. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the wildlife in the backyard. Perfectly spotless all over and every amenity you could imagine in the kitchen. We lacked for nothing. Thank you for the amazing hospitality.

The staff are extremely nice, and helpful! The owners are very nice people, and gave us some good pointers for things to do during our stay. The head housekeeper was so nice and very friendly. Jen was such a gentle person, we loved that she had veggies on the pier growing and offered them out. Just a very family friendly stay.

The property was such a delight to stay at. Very family friendly. We loved seeing all the dogs and kids playing. The property was very well kept and our 15 month old had a blast on his first family vacation. We will be back soon! :)

Everyone was helpful and friendly with smiles on their faces. We felt very welcomed!

Our family enjoyed our stay so much! We plan to have another vacation and hope to stay again. Weather in the cochito or one of the homes facing the water we were so happy with everything- friendly staff clean home and quiet area! The easy walk to the beach area was great for our kids! We cant wait to come visit again!

We had SUCH an incredible stay at the Poop Deck this last weekend. The harbor was beautiful and we were able to watch ships come and go, which my 7 year old loved. We ate meals on the deck and loved the patio at the Rio Grill next door. The harbor is very quiet at night and everyone staying at the RV park was friendly and kind. The Poop Deck was SPOTLESS, well stocked, spacious and the perfect spot for our getaway. I highly, highly recommend this space for your getaway. We are counting down the days until we can go back. This may just be our social distancing way to get away over and over again. Thank you so much for everything - the Poop Deck is amazing!

Clean and hospitable San Juan mini-house is at a great location, the waterfront in Noyo Harbor. Was quiet yet walking distance to seafood restaurants or beach. Fully equipped kitchen and the loft area allows some additional privacy for families. Lovely unique place!

The location of this home was exactly as advertised. Get away from the hustle and bustle and unwind. No internet and no cell coverage was helpful in disconnecting. The backyard was peaceful and serene in both the mornings and evening. With just a 20 minute walk you can be at a wonderful beach which on our visit we had practically to ourselves.

Carlon is the absolute best. Very easy to communicate with. Extremely responsive. Very knowledgable. We can't wait to vacation with Pacific Blue again.

Thank you!

My 4 kids and I spent 3 nights in Driftwood and had a great time. Its our first time in an RV. The RV was snug but the kids had plenty of room to hang out in our spot, which included a fire pit and picnic table. We also really enjoyed the back pier, and it was a short walk to the mouth of the harbor and the beach. The RV itself was comfortable and had everything we needed to cook and eat our meals. We also got to enjoy a couple restaurants that were within walking distance. When we did need something, the property manager was very responsive. Everyone was super friendly and we are especially grateful to Mr. Richard for teaching us to crab fish and how to build a fire. We created some amazing memories and look forward to coming back! Thank you for hosting us.

Wonderful house in a very special place. Easy walk to the beach. Wonderful local store. Beautiful view from the back deck. Very comfortable space including the beds. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. Amazing gas range! Nice bathrooms and lush towels. Tastefully decorated. Very comfortable and spacious couch. Great wood stove/fireplace. Perfect spot to get away, truly relax and unplug, reconnect with loved ones and nature.... We will definitely be back as soon as possible! Thank you for having us.

For nature lovers and peace seekers. Beautiful, clean, tastefully furnished home. Unobstructed view from backyard. Only sound youll hear are birds, ocean waves and seals. Everything we needed was there, everything works. Great location. Excellent communication. Well be back and hopefully soon. Thank you!!!
