Jades Tower is a converted water tower set in a garden one block from the Mendocino Headlands. The two-story wood-and-glass structure is built for two guests, with a queen sleeper sofa on the main level and a queen bed in a loft reached by a spiral staircase. Every room has ocean views, and on clear winter days guests can watch gray whales migrate along the coast.
The galley kitchen opens onto a patio facing the water, a practical spot for cooking and eating outside. Inside, a 60-inch flat-screen Smart TV and Wi-Fi cover basic downtime needs, though the setting leans toward reading, watching the water, and slow mornings rather than screen time.
The location puts Mendocino village within walking distance, including restaurants, shops, and the seasonal Farmer's Market (May through October, weather and vendor schedules vary). The Mendocino Art Center is two blocks north. Because the tower is reserved for two guests only, bookings are handled directly rather than through a high-volume platform, with arrival and parking details sent ahead of the stay.
Booking runs through VRBO, where the listing (Mendocino, California #414268) has current photos and availability. Given the small footprint and popularity during whale season and summer weekends, earlier booking is generally advised.
