About this cottage rental

Just a few minutes from Mendocino and Fort Bragg, Windrift Cottage is a perfect headquarters for your Mendocino Coast vacation. However, with all the home has to offer, you may be tempted never to leave the property.
A private but rugged path right off the backyard drops down to a secluded beach where you can spend the day in the sun and surf or elect to cozy up next to the fireplace and take in dinner and a movie before retiring to the hot tub with a panoramic view of the Pacific.
Enjoy the simplistic peace of Windrift's intimate, studio-style layout, with a leather sofa next to a gas fireplace, a wide-screen television with cable and DVD collection, a pillow-topped queen bed, and a small kitchen (mini fridge, two-burner stove, but no oven) with a high lounge-type table.
Please note: There is parking for one car only. - No children are allowed at this location, and although Windrift is pet-friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only, with a maximum number of no more than 1
Windrift Cottage is an experience you won't want to end. Visit our website to see all the photos and details.

It was a cute little cottage. The view was amazing! Since pets are allowed, there was a pet order lingering. The hot tub was a great location, however, there didn't seem to be much chlorine in the hot tub so we didn't use it. It was a good location for doing things around Fort Bragg and Mendocino. Staff at the Property Management office didn't really say much when I went to pick up the key. I was not impressed with their customer service.

We loved everything about Windrift cottage. Our search for the perfect romantic getaway has ended. Only place we will book in the Mendocino area. Can't wait to come back!

This studio cottage is very nicely decorated and clean. The grounds are adorable. The view is amazing. We enjoyed access to the little beach below. The dorm refrigerator was inadequate for our needs and I had to work out of our ice chest as well. Over all we loved this place and will return.

It is a gorgeous setting. The house is dated and the amenities are sub standard (tiny soap, old worn sheets, etc), but the view makes up for it. We had a wonderful time in Mendocino.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Windrift Cottage 12-29-23 to 1-2-24. It is a warm and cozy place with an unbeatable view! The fireplace is great, the bed is overly soft but still comfy, and the kitchen has the basics. The path to the cottage is lighted at night. The path to the small beach is fairly easy to navigate. We love that the cottage is dog friendly. Overall we had a wonderful time! Tips for others: be sure and bring a swim suit and or a robe, as the hot tub is pretty exposed. Bring waterproof shoes to be able to cross the shallow creek and explore the whole beach.
