Very nice B&B. The room was great but it is the view that is spectacular. Could see the ocean while laying in bed! The view from breakfast was even more spectacular. Breakfast was good. Not the friendliest owners I have ever seen but certainly more than adequate. Check out their website - one of the best I have seen. Pricey... More

We stayed for three nights at the Agate Cove last week, chosen as a result of the reviews on tripsadviser and for the amazing view. The owners, Roger and Larainne were away on vacation, but we were looked after marvellously by Innkeeper Thayes and her sister Dawn, two delightful and friendly ladies. Our accommodation (Obsidian) was extremely comfortable, the bed... More

We spent 4 nites at the Agate Cove in Mendocino and didn't want to leave. The property overooks the ocean and the views are just fabulous. It's a small B&B and each cottage is decorated with a different theme. We stayed in the Amber cottage which had a jetted tub, separate shower, old fashion pot belly fireplace and a private... More

We were hoping that someone would write about our newly designed breakfast room. Thank you for commenting on that. When we decided to expand the breakfast room and purchase new furniture for it, we thought about what we would like as travelers. We felt that quaint tables for two where both people could face the ocean and giant windows taking... More

My wife and I just returned from a week long stay at Agate Cove Inn. Our experience was wonderful. Roger and Laraine were a wonderful host and hostess.

A fabulous location and view! Breakfast was excellent. However, the "Ruby" Room should be avoided. It was the last available and is not on the website....for a reason. The bathroom looks charming and well-equipped but the bathtub surround does not allow drainage when the shower is used. The sour "standing-water" smell was not good. I could not enjoy the big...

Thank you for taking the time to review us on Yelp and Trip Advisor. We are happy that you liked our breakfast and the great ocean views.

I cannot say enough about Mendocino, and the Agate Cove Inn! We just returned from two nights in that area. Although we had been to Northern California several times this was our first trip to Mendocino. Mendocino is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places I have even been. The town is absolutely charming, and the vistas are... More

Stayed just one night on a drive from Seattle to San Francisco, but would definitely go back. Beautiful location, well maintained rooms, friendly service and an excellent breakfast. It is a short walk into town on a road without sidewalks which may be of concern to some people, but the location and view offset the minimal inconvenience.

This is our "home" in Mendocino. Laraine and Roger make us feel like members of their family --- actually more like Royal Members of their family considering the breakfasts and care that they provide. The views are outstanding, and the hammock, swing, and chairs make watching the views and reading very comfortable. Walking distance to downtown Mendocino.
