Located right on the beach.

Great location. The beach is across the road and a short walk. The property faces the ocean and has views straight at the ocean. Crack open a window and listen to the waves. Located in a great neighborhood and only a few minutes from Ft.Bragg. Immaculately clean, looks to have been newly painted. Nicely decorated. Very comfortable bed. Nice kitchenette. Easy to control room temperature. Big bathroom, nice tub and shower. Our dogs did great. No broom or vacuum for the sand they dragged in. Only negative thing I’d have to say is that there isn’t a chair an ottoman seen in pictures; just a couch. So not a lot of seating. Wasn’t a problem. Keyless entry was tricky. Enjoyed our stay and will certainly return.

Stairs!!!! A steep staircase was not mentioned in advertising. Cute little cottage with beautiful ocean views. Nice decor accents. Only set up for tall people. Bar stools were the only chairs. High up bed. At 5 feet tall it was nearly impossible for me to navigate the furniture. No comfy chair like the photos, only a sofa. Tall sided shower too. Cute but will not stay again.

Wonderful, but...

Wonderful, quiet, and scenic, right across the street from the beach. Check in was challenging after a long day of travel. No onsite manager, lock code didn't work. Ten minutes on the phone with a "service agent" finally got us into the property using a different code and a different lock box. Frustrating start to an otherwise pleasant stay.

Enjoyed our stay. I wish the crib was optional. It was def in the way and I walked into it quite a few times. Bed was a firm mattress which was perfect for us.

Quiet, safe neighborhood across from ocean

It has stairs to climb with your bags. The code lock was frustrating to work - had to try a few times each time to get open. One room sweet is nicely decorated. Deck looks out across to ocean. Heavenly to hear the waves from bed and watch sunsets from deck. Deck chairs are deep and need some back cushions. Need a few wall hooks on which to hang clothes since no closets. Floors were dirty, in need of mopping. Bathtub needs a non- slip pas because it is very slippery. No beach towels were provided as indicated on write- up page online. No backyard spa which was mentioned in reviews. Overall, nice,pleasant suite for two people for three nights.

Best location ever!

This is our second stay here with two kids and dogs. You can’t beat the location. Truly perfect. The bed is comfortable as well as the pull out sofa bed. Sunset views and beach days are beautiful. We cooked all our meals and appreciated the toaster oven, microwave and hot plate. The only thing that would have improved our stay would have been a few more cooking utensils ( a spatula for cooking pancakes and a few more wooden or plastic spoons would be super helpful). Oh, also, even though we removed shoes with dogs and kids sand happened and I really wished for a broom and dustpan for a daily sweep up. Other than that this is our yearly vacation we look forward to!

Great vibe

We spent three nights and had the most relaxing vacation. Just short few minutes to Fort Bragg for eats and drinks or a little further for site-seeing in Mendocino. This place has the best vibe of any place we’ve stayed. Will do so again soon.

Perfect cozy getaway

Second time staying at this property, first time in the studio suite. It was perfect. Had all the amenities we needed and plenty of space for us and our two toddlers AND 3 big dogs. However, one of our dogs is getting on years and a hard time getting down the stairs due to bad hips. If your dog falls into that same category and is not easily carried, you might reconsider bringing them along. Otherwise, everything was wonderful!!! We especially love the location and cleanliness of this property!!!

Faulty, illegal electric wiring in the kitchen

Multiple problems with electric wiring, nonexistent WiFi. The unit is part of a larger house and we were overrun by the large party with seven kids who rented the main house.

Lovely place close to the beach

This is a very nice spot with a great view. Unfortunately due to the furniture arrangement we only had a view if we were on the bed or on the deck. You can’t sit in the seating area and see the ocean. But, that’s ok, we went for longs walks on the path basically right in front of the house. There is a hot plate, toaster oven and a microwave, so the kitchen is not super well equipped but we managed to do well with meals anyway. The bed is very comfortable and we slept well. The stairs are steep coming and going especially after a two hour walk! We would definitely stay here again.
