The Frolic- Dramatic Ocean Front Home with a Truly Unique Historic Setting The Frolic, a delightful vacation rental -on the oceanfront of the Mendocino Coast – and just 4 miles from Mendocino Village – is a charming spot with views of the ocean from almost every room. Surrounded by the beauty of the coastal location, this spacious home provides a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Frolic Cove - just steps away from your front door – takes its name from the tragedy of the 1850 wreck of the clipper ship, “Frolic”. Laden with Chinese household goods and bound for San Francisco, the Frolic was a total loss from the storm; it remains one of California’s most important Gold-Rush-Era shipwrecks. The search for the lost ship resulted in the discovery of the riches of the redwood forests along the Mendocino Coast.You and your guests will be enamored with the idyllic (and convenient) location of this contemporary country cottage! Spend an afternoon hiking in the Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park whose extensive property borders this home… or soak up the sun on one of several beaches located nearby. Just minutes away is downtown Mendocino, where you'll find a variety of shops, galleries, gardens, and restaurants that dot the streets of this picturesque community. Perched overlooking the cove and the ocean… and with views both east and west… early risers can watch the sunrise from the comfort of the wooden Adirondack chairs on the porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee or tea. After a day exploring Mendocino and the surrounding area, spend an evening with a glorious sunset or wish on shooting stars while you relax your sore muscles with a soak in the private hot tub! The living area is cozy and inviting… curl up on the couch with your favorite novel or catch up with friends while admiring the ocean views. Both the living room and master bedroom boast a wood-burning fireplace! Two bedrooms (one king and one queen) and three bathrooms, make this well-designed home an ideal getaway for up to four people. The layout of the house lets you enjoy an open and spacious living space with the bedroom en suites at either end affording the best of privacy. The newly remodeled galley kitchen is fully equipped, ready for anything from a mid-morning snack to a holiday meal. An outdoor charcoal grill makes a summer BBQ both simple and fun! This home away from home offers a variety of amenities - sure to entice any guest - from the private hot tub to a flat screen TV. Recently remodeled, upgrades include zone heating for every room, energy efficient appliances, and many decorative details. If you need to bring work with you, the wireless internet allows you to stay up to date and connected to coworkers back at the office - or to upload pictures to Facebook to share with your friends and family back home. Sorry no children or pets allowed at this property.
