Another year, and another fabulous time at your beautiful home!  Truly the finest possible way
to spend our (33rd) anniversary season.  It has become such a tradition that we all feel like it is
almost like coming home. . . Thanks again for your generous hospitality, and we will see you
around the same time next year!

We so enjoyed the history of Seahorse, truly a dream of yours that you have shared with all the
guests.  We are grateful for your generosity to share this bit of heaven.  I have been coming to
the Mendocino area for over 30 years.  Usually, it has been at Irish Beach.  Your home
supersedes all the places we've ever been.  Thanks again!

Your  home is so warm & welcoming.  Thank you for sharing a wonderful peek into retirement.  
Relaxing in the hot tub, watching the sunset and the birds soars from above were all
breath-taking . . .

From the 1st contact made via e-mail & phone, you have truly created an amazing experience
here in Albion and the surrounding area.  To open up your beautiful home for all of us to share
is something quite special . . . Your kindness and special touches are
so appreciated.  We
strive to be so welcoming to all of our guests at the restaurant and so rarely run across such
incredibly hospitable people!

We certainly enjoyed a relaxing week in your home.  Thanks a million for sharing it with us.  It is
obvious that a ton of thinking went into the design, construction and furnishing of your home.

What a wonderful experience it was to celebrate our honeymoon in your home.  We have
never been to the West Coast before now, and WOW, what a beautiful place you have.  The
amenities of your home made our stay comfortable and convenient.

One year later, we returned to relive our special memory and make many new memories.  The
sun shined each day and the stars at night were more plentiful that either of us could ever
remember.  What an incredibly beautiful setting this home was built around!  We couldn't have
enjoyed ourselves more!!!

*(These guests had one of their first trips together at Seahorse and returned the following
year to get engaged.)

Thank you for sharing your amazing "dog friendly" home with us!  Our Corgi's (Roxy & Rhumbi)
loved your dog run and doggy door - a luxury we don't have at home.  Your home is absolutely
beautiful and the views are incredible!  Our time here has just flown by, but we hope to be
back again soon.

I can't believe the week is over!  Your house is a wonderful, dreamy place where it's
impossible to not relax.  The courtyard garden is extra special in the morning.  Just as the dew
has evaporated and the clouds lift, the humming birds and bees begin their daily chores and
we begin our daily lack thereof. . . One day has melted into the next until it's time to leave . . .
and I'm left thinking about what I've accomplished . . . nothing, yet everything!  This is what we
are all searching for, and it's here at Seahorse.


Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.  It was an "enchanted weekend" by the sea.  
Along with enjoying our stay at your home, we were able to feed the doves and other birds
that visit here.  The temperature of the spa was just right.  We were awed by the view day and
night.  We were also fortunate to get fresh crab at Noyo Harbor.  Having the ability to prepare a
gourmet meal, in your fabulous kitchen, was outstanding!

What a delightful place to stay!  Mendocino is one of our favorite places to visit.  Your place is
definitely the nicest place we've ever stayed here.  I'm sure we'll be back for another visit.

Your Seahorse Cottage is beautiful!  It is such a nice, cozy, welcoming home.  The last time I
was in Mendocino I was 2 or 3 years old, so I really don't remember much.  But now I'm 11, and
this experience was
amazing!!!!   The view is what I really enjoy!  I am a total beach/ocean girl
and it's nice to just walk outside and be able to watch the sun set, or see the powerful waves
crash on the soft sand.  My Dad really enjoyed the telescopes, so it was nice to see him so
happy.  One of the greatest memories I will take back from this wonderful cottage is the nights
we spent together.  My family and I really had a great time just sitting by the fire at night
playing games as a family.  I truly thank you bunches!!

After reading everything to this point and finding I agree with all of it, I can only add that you
have indeed created a perfect atmosphere for rest and relaxation, and the fact that this is truly
a 'home' is most evident. Thank you for your attention to detail and good taste.  We played
games and watched old home movies by the fireplace - all in all, a great family weekend!!
Thanks again for sharing this warm and cozy home with us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for opening your gorgeous home and views to us for
the weekend - it was absolutely perfect!  . . .  We have stayed in many of Coast Getaways
homes since 2003, creating new memories together, but Seahorse is, without a doubt, the
most memorable and tranquil of all the places we've stayed.  We absolutely loved the house,
the views, the book collection and the wildlife and look forward to visiting again soon.
