Irish Beach is a unique oceanside vacation destination with several miles of peaceful sandy beaches, sparse road traffic, starlit nights where at times you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye. A few minutes farther from the Bay Area than Sea Ranch, 15 minutes from a two star Michelin restaurant, and overall a better value for both renter and investor. 

 

Short-term rental owners may obtain a business membership with the Irish Beach Improvement Club which will allow access to the beach and use of Pomo Lake Park. As of 6/10/24: Membership requires an application and an annual fee of $600 plus a one-time initiation fee of $1,035 OR a $750 transfer fee if the seller is a member and transfers the membership to the new homeowner. (See the forms under “Join” on the website.)

 

Mendocino County requires owners of short-term rentals to obtain a business license and to pay a Transient Occupancy Tax and a Business Improvement District Assessment. For your convenience, here are links for more information:
