Description
Damien and Diane Baccaro met and fell in love in Los Angeles, but they always knew they belonged in Northern California. Even as their adventures took them all over the world, they returned again and again to this dramatic coastline. With decades of experience in hospitality, and real-world experience as travelers, they devised the concept of Rendezvous. In their own travels they sought out the unusual and finding those hidden gems always created the best memories! So they endeavored to create a space that amused their guests with kitschy charm and unique art yet also met all the creature comforts. Beyond the comfort of the rooms, they also wanted a setting that invited the peace and tranquility that comes from immersing yourself in nature.
After combing California for years, they finally came across the opportunity to purchase the (former) North Coast Country Inn, just blocks away from where they stayed the first magical time they visited this area. They could hardly believe their luck!
With love and patience they have been restoring this beautiful Bed and Breakfast and implementing their own design and vision. Unlike most bed and breakfasts, even though Damien and Diane live on site and share their home with guests, the rooms are individual cabins with private entrances and decks. This gives the best of both worlds, old-fashioned hospitality with plenty of privacy and autonomy.
Rendezvous is a meeting place for friends and lovers, but also a coming together of towering Redwoods and the rocky shore, and most importantly a place where mind and body can reconnect with the natural world.

This was a perfect stop for our trip up the coast!
Beautiful property with a unique design to each separate space they provide. The amenities were great, with a private hot tub and wonderful breakfast available.

Simply beautiful!
This property is stunning along with the owner couple. They make sure you are very well taken care off. They are spoiling you with breakfast to your doorstep.
The room we had was beautifully decorated. With a small kitchen corner and a fireplace too.
It was very cozy, warm and homey.
Their garden is full of all colour flowers over 3 floors. Electric cars can be charged too.
On the top they have a nice fire place and you have a view to the sea.
Don’t miss this place – it’s a secret treasure.
The WIFI was fast too, and
a hair saloon and a separate living and playing room. The owners are amazing hosts.

The property is beautiful. The grounds surrounding the property are well-maintained. The rooms are very clean. We stayed at room#6 and it was wonderful. The breakfast every morning was delicious and homemade. Everything was perfect and the hosts were truly welcoming! We can’t wait to return. The Mendocino coast is magical and a slice of heaven on earth!

We stayed two nights in the Aquitaine room. The artwork and decorations were eclectic. The kitchenette with a decent sized mini fridge and freezer. With the available cooking utensils, we were able to make dinner one evening. A small grocery store is a few minutes south. We didn’t use the fireplace but there are recliner chairs in front of it that were very inviting if you want a relaxing night in.
It is easy to reach Diane and Damien via text. The day before we placed our breakfast order and it was delivered to our door in the morning. The ginger scone was my favorite but the biscuits were also huge and fluffy. Loved the matcha latte.
The flowers and plants on the property were gorgeous. If you walk to the top of the property, there is a gazebo and sitting area. Perfect for a place to read. You can see the ocean and hear the Sea Lions.
One night we signed up for an hour long session in the hot tub. It was very private, clean, and super relaxing. If you go after dark, the stars are incredible. The pathways were well lit for your walk back.
Before visiting, I was a little unsure of what the electric vehicle charging would look like. There are two sections of parking, depending on which room you are staying in. They are well marked based on which room you stay in and don’t require a long walk.
I recommend to have directions saved and to look up ideas on where you want to go before you leave. There will be little to no signal once you leave the property.
Had a fantastic dinner at Izakaya Gama (be sure to make reservations ahead of time) and went to The Record afterwards for a drink. There was a live band and so much positive energy.
Damien and Diane were so friendly and welcoming. We can’t wait to go back, try a different room, do a wine tasting with Diane and explore more of this gorgeous area. Thank you both for your hospitality!
