We were hosted by Craig who checked in with us often leading up to our excursion, offered adjustments to kayaking time to hit the best weather and tide opportunity. He did a great job explaining safety while kayaking, keeping our group together on the water, vetting out highlight areas before we passed through, pointed out highlights to take note of, and supplied all equipment day of. We had the best time of enjoying 90 minutes of beginner friendly paddling, viewing water wildlife, going through small sea caves, and more! This will certainly be a highlight of our trip that I cannot recommend more!

There was a juvenile seal on the beach alone and our guide commented that this was unusual and that he'd be contacting the local wildlife conservationist to check on the pup. This really gave me a sense of community in this seaside village. The people making a living off the ocean are also invested in its conservation. Other information shared during our adventure also supported this. We didn't want the tour to end and I highly recommend this experience to anyone traveling through the area!!

Fantastic secluded Bed & Breakfast near Mendocino!…read more We were looking for a place to stay near Mendocino, but didn't want to day in the big bustling village of Mendocino ( :-) ), so we chose this place. It is located a couple of miles away from the town, in a clearing in a forest. It is so quiet there that you can hear the silence! (Except in the evening where the frogs in the pond entertain with a pleasant concert of frog music; it is a nice sound and relatively quiet). It is very quiet since the house is located down a gravel road through the forest. The gardens are filled with a large variety of colorful flowers that were beautiful. The home cooked breakfasts are very good. The eggs come from the resident chickens. Very fresh eggs! We stayed three nights. We had the downstairs room in the main house, adjacent to the pleasant common living room, where enjoyed sitting in the evenings. Our room had glass doors that opened up to a deck that overlooked the woods in the back of the house. Beautiful. This was a relaxing trip for us. We spent the days on the nearby (1.8 miles away) beach watching the waves or at a shady cliff edge in the Mendocino Headlands watching the ocean.

The host has a strong personality and will let you know exactly what she's thinking. Since my stay here was for pleasure, I felt that the lack of hospitality took a bit away from the overall experience. Nonetheless, we met other pleasant guests whom we enjoyed conversation with over breakfast. I was happy with our room which was comfortable, cute, and spacious enough. However, there was a lingering dank smell of either mildew or animal urine which I couldn't exactly put my finger on. Overall, we had a pleasant stay here on our first visit to Mendocino.

After a long drive, we went straight for a dip in the hot tub to relax. As we settled in for our stay, we discovered that La Puerta is amazingly well equipped for a vacation rental. The kitchen has just about every tool you can imagine and a surprisingly good spice cabinet (when was the last time you saw cumin and dry mustard in a vacation rental?!). They even put out a blanket that says "La Puerta Puppy" for my dog. The location is ideal. It's less than 15 minutes to Mendocino. We spent most of our time at the house, though, just relaxing, taking in the view and the sound of the waves while we cooked and played some of the games from the small bedroom. We did venture down the hill to Navarro Beach and saw some amazing driftwood structures. Even on a sunny, warm day, we had the beach almost to ourselves. Britton was super helpful with information about the house and the area. She responded quickly to every question I had and provided great tips for what to do and see around Albion and Mendocino. We will definitely be back.

On Sunday we decided to take the Mendocino Wine Tour that was offered by the Inn. Jim Davis was our guide for the tour, which lasted from 10 AM to around 5 PM. The tour was nothing short of excellent. Jim was a gracious host and guide from the first moment we shook hands. He has a natural warmth and pleasant nature, and took his time to get to know us as we began the tour. Jim took us to about six wineries and an art gallery on our trip - the art gallery being a spur-of-the-moment amendment since the art festival was going on - as well as a stop in the redwood forest. At each stop Jim provided knowledgeable insight and history into each location, as well as the recent past of the winery (i.e. how the grapes did in the past season, etc). He is also quite well versed in local botany, pointing out various plants and their interesting uses as well as picking and sampling a few of the more pleasant-smelling ones (bay leaves, lavender, etc). It was a wonderfully personal way to get to know Mendocino and Anderson Valley... Tiffany and I feel so much closer to the area as a result. Jim was also graciously attentive, taking our wine as we purchased it and securing it in the vehicle. He had lunch ready for us at our favorite winery (Sharfenberger) and we talked about various things... it was very pleasant and relaxing. And I won't forget to mention the generous discount that the tour offered on wine purchase, and waived fees on tasting. Tiffany and I were a bit anxious at the start of the trip when we realized we were going to be only ones, but thanks to Jim's great attitude and insightful experience we can honestly say we had a great time and the adventure was absolutely the highlight of the trip (with the MacCallum hot tubs a close second). We will definitely look Jim up in the future for more great travel advice and guidance, and heartily recommend this trip in particular and Jim's service in general to anyone interested in having a great and casual time in the Mendocino/Anderson Valley area. Thanks Jim! -Mike and Tiffany

That was unacceptable and also the bus that we took up to Orlando was no joke about to fall apart! Also, many kids said that it smelled like During the trip, we had other problems with the company deciding to recall the bus driver and the bus. This ended us with no bus to get to and from the tournament. Finally though, the company gave us a bus and a driver from the Orlando depot after talking with them after a couple of hours. Thanks for the "amazing" customer services. The best part is that on the way home, the bus air-conditioning unit was broken. The best thing of all is that the company did not want to exchange the buses so we had to deal with no air for 3 hours....TOTAL FUN!!!! I urge you all to not go to this company at all. Additionally, look at their Better Business Bureau rating which is a "D-." If you don't believe me, look it up on BBB.org
