    Located in the heart of the historic Village, the Sea Gull Inn is one of the original bed and breakfasts in Mendocino. We invite you to sit in our beautiful gardens, relax and unwind from the stresses of your life, or spend time with family and friends. In the morning, we’ll serve you a delicious organic breakfast in your room, on the deck, or in the gardens. We have sample itineraries for daily activities and will be happy to share our thoughts on the best local wineries and eateries.

    Last time we stayed at the Sea Gull Inn was wonderful, and this time it was even better! We had 3 relaxing days at the Inn to celebrate our anniversary, and our stay was perfect in every way. Jim and Ayla, the owners, were kind, thoughtful, helpful, and extremely friendly, as always. Their beautiful breakfasts are consistently tasty, and lovingly presented. It’s definitely a treat to stay at the charming Sea Gull Inn. Highly recommended!!

    My girlfriend and I had never been to Mendocino so we decided we'd take a quick trip for an overnight stay for Christmas. We were pleasantly surprised at the quaintness of the "shed" that we stayed in. The property owners were very pleasant and accommodating and were a wealth of information. Very cool downtown with lots of shops to check out. Ocean trails, biking and views were awesome. We will definitely be back in 2012.

    A Nice Break

    This was my second time staying at the Seagull Inn and as before it was a wonderful experience. I stayed in "The Shed" and it was like having my own private retreat. Jim and Ayla both make you feel right at home. I can't wait to go back.

    Very relaxing and beautiful experience
