Third time at Mar Vista and another delightful stay in late December 2024. Although the weather didn't fully cooperate, everything else about our stay was ideal. The cottage was impeccably clean and well-supplied with kitchen essentials. Highly recommend getting the welcome basket which makes a nice 'base' for your breakfast. Nothing better than the incredible eggs from 'Chicken City', sourdough bread and local bacon, topped off with herbs right from the garden outside.
I suggest staying at least 3 nights to get the full flavor of the setting, the sound and sight of the ocean, and the chance to explore the coastline. Hiking at Stornetta nearby is something we do every time we're at Mar Vista - don't miss it.
The owners welcome us like old friends which adds to the overall charm of Mar Vista. We'll be back soon.

This was an amazing experience. The cottage was cozy, clean, and the kitchen had everything I needed. So many favorite spots throughout the area like the fireplace, grill, swing, hammock and lounge chairs. I loved the fresh eggs delivered to our door daily. I learned a lot while feeding the goats, bunnies, and chicken. Deanna and Cab are warm and welcoming.

Having stayed at Mar Vista Farm + Cottages about 10 years ago, I can honestly say that what was fantastic before is even better now. The cottages are well appointed, comfortable, and quiet. The gardens are beautiful and bountiful. The property itself is secluded and incredibly relaxing. And...the owners, Cab and Deanna are perhaps the most attentive, communicative, and thoughtful hosts we have ever encountered. We cannot wait to visit again!

Mar Vista is one of our favorite places in the world! My partner and I have visited multiple times with our most recent stay in August for our wedding!
As a weekend getaway:
We love this place and can't get enough! It's a perfect place to relax and unwind away from the hustle of the SF bay area. We love cooking meals with the fresh eggs and veggies from the garden. There's multiple grocery stores in Gualala and also a breakfast basket you can order (love the bacon in the breakfast baskets!). The cottages are clean, cozy, and each have their own unique charm. We try not to plan at all when we visit. Between the private beach, the woodland trail, the cute cats and rabbits, the veggie garden, and various hammocks and chairs on site, you're not going to want to leave once you check in!
As a wedding venue:
We booked the Mar Vista Celebration package for our wedding which was lovely since we had the whole property to ourselves. Cab & Deanna were incredible to work with and were instrumental every step of the way. They responded to our questions promptly and were super organized with the timelines and costs. They also helped us find our florist, musicians, and caterers (all incredible vendors!) and worked closely with them to ensure smooth communication throughout. We had a weather scare the week of the wedding with rain on the forecast but Cab & Deanna went above and beyond to keep us calm and adjust plans. It was the most magical weekend and we're so happy we chose to have our wedding at Mar Vista!

Beautiful area. Some amazing little beach coves and incredible views driving along Highway 1. Recommend stopping in the little town of Jenner by the Sea. Mar Vista has an old soaking tub. I recommend reserving that. Bring a friend and a bottle of wine and relax. Love the u-pick garden. The veggies and lettuces were delicious. But bring your own soap for shower and hands. Also, you can borrow a hair dryer but bring your own if needed.
