It was a beautiful experience. It was so relaxing and such a beautiful environment and we loved it.

When we arrived, Myra came out and informed us the spa was not working. We had booked for three nights. On the first night, the aroma of marijuana was coming through the bathroom. The stairs had a pungent odor of wet dogs every time you entered the rental. A used sponge was left for use on the sink counter. The owner had their lawn mowed on the second day of our stay, and the cart holding the equipment blocked our exit, causing us to maneuver around it to get out. I emailed Mrya to request a partial refund, and her response was, “Rosie, I did respond directly to VRBO. I don't deal with scammers.”
I called VRBO customer service four times over seven days to resolve these issues, and the VRBO representatives confirmed they had not received a response from Myra. The VRBO representatives were cordial and professional in all my dealings with them. Abdul, who assisted me the last time to try to resolve this issue (6/20/24), tried several times to call Myra and did not get a response. I attempted to resolve this quietly, but unfortunately, I was called a scammer.

The loft was so cute!!! Loved all the special touches. The views were amazing !!
The owners do live on property as well as someone below the loft.
This did not interfere with our privacy.
Would highly recommend!!!

This cottage was the perfect place for a romantic getaway. The views were spectacular and it was a very peaceful setting-inside and out. We enjoyed waking up to the serene gardens in the front of the property surrounded by coastal trees. The property sat on a bluff overlooking the ocean-amazing sunsets, beautiful and private. There were many bird sightings (including a grey heron who visited us) and we enjoyed the nature within the area-Noyo Headlands Park, Glass Beach, and the Mendocino Botanical Gardens. Myra communicated with us throughout our stay and was a very gracious hostess. The room was decorated beautifully. Myra thought of every little detail to make our stay special.

The property was beautiful and the house was just enough for my wife and I. Myra met us when we arrived and showed us around the property and then give us our space to celebrate our anniversary. We loved the views from the Adirondack Chairs and spent a lot of our time enjoying the ocean together. We enjoyed the beaches and some hikes; the local lighthouse was a fun trip. The breakfast places were good and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, the spa wasn’t working at the property, but Myra went above and beyond and gave us a gift card for a spa day in Mendocino, which was awesome. The house itself was small and cozy and had a bedroom with a beautiful skylight that you could open at night and see the stars. It had a living room with the kitchenette and was decorated nicely. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would love to come back sometime in the future. Thank you Myra!

The location is superb, quintessential Mendocino coast…..the grounds are beautifully manicured, a private botanical garden…. the living area is artistically created with elegance and comfort in mind…
The hosts, Myra and Enrique, are warm and welcoming, going beyond expectations with fresh flowers and homemade treats. They were easy to communicate with before and during our stay.
We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises and highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a quiet getaway on the Mendocino coast.

Great location and view. Easy to get to both Fort Bragg and Mendocino. Best hot tub ever. Inside room is not extensive, more cozy. Clean and comfortable. 2 small negs: listing indicated a kettle to heat water...wasn't one (we would have brought our own if we'd known); one of the hanging lights by cupboard was constantly going out because it hangs too low and gets hit by the door - should be raised. Big pos: Myra left a BD card for my wife and also baked a super-delicious tart. Wow!!

We were welcomed by Myra and shown around. Wonderful setup to relax and watch the waves with a cup of coffee in the morning or watch the sky darken in the evening. The room was cozy, yet had everything we needed. Myro left us a few treats for us to enjoy, and we did. A notebook with suggestions for good food was handy. The location was wonderful. The ocean right there and a quick drive to see redwoods.

Exceeded our expectations. Personal touches through out! We were celebrating our 30th anniversary and had an awesome stay.

Quiet and cozy location right above a secluded beach. Owners went above and beyond to ensure we had a luxurious experience. Multiple welcoming touches made the trip unique. Definitely looking forward to a return visit!

Daydreams is exactly as advertised and more. All the extras like fresh flowers, lemon water by the bed, treats in the fridge, chocolates, and plenty of extra towels do not go unnoticed. Daydreams is also spotless, and so is the hot tub, (which cannot be beat!). Myra is a lovely hostess with great suggestions. The location of this property is perfectly located right between Mendocino and Fort Bragg. You should book this place if it’s available. It was wonderful!

Cozy loft with amazing view of the beach and ocean. We were there during an extended period of rain, so didn't get to take advantage of the fire pit. But we were able to sneak in a nice soak in the hot tub (with the amazing view). 300 yards away, you have access to Jughandle State Reserve, as well as access to the beach. Quiet area, just the beautiful sound of the surf. Myra, the host, was great. She gave us a nice tour on arrival, and kept in contact to make sure we weren't lacking anything.

Our best ever vrbo experience! Even better than the pictures. Extremely clean. Comfortable. Easy to get into. Private. Two minute walk to acres of open land to explore. Hot tub with a view was awesome. Seriously cannot think of one complaint.

The interior is well put together and very cozy. Everything you need is there. Close to Mendocino, Noyo Harbour and Glass Beach. The view from the kitchen is amazing to wake up to. A short walk to the beach or to a beautiful cliff view. Myra (owner) was helpful in showing us around the property. She also gave a great dining recommendation. Lots of super nice touches in the home. If we are ever back in the area, we would stay there again without hesitation. I recommend you arrive before dark on the first night. It was tricky to find in the dark the first night. Once we found it, getting back after dark wasnt an issue, just before we had our bearings. Stay at this place. It is great.

My wife and I booked this adorable loft to celebrate a quiet thanksgiving weekend and my wife's birthday away from our home in the bay area. Everything about this stay was exceptional—from the location, to the views, to the comfort and amenities—but I want to start by mentioning the host first.
Myra is the kindest, most gracious host I have ever had on VRBO (or "similar sites"). Even though we arrived on Thanksgiving day, Myra took time away from hosting her family and friends to give us a tour of the property, showing us the ins and outs of the loft and its surroundings as well as how to access the nearby beach and headlands. Knowing it was my wife's birthday, she'd even left a birthday card inside with a home-baked berry tart in the fridge (absolutely delicious by the way). Finally, she checked in with us on departure day to make sure we had a great stay. Her personal touch is what takes this stay from great to truly exceptional.
Now on to the location itself. The loft is perfectly nestled just off PCH in Fort Bragg. Though it manages to feel almost completely isolated when you're there, it takes less than 10 minutes to get into either Fort Bragg or Mendocino meaning it is a great base for exploring the Mendo Coast area. Myra left several recommendations for restaurants and activities, which served as a great guide for our weekend, but the true highlight was waking up to that stunning view every morning.
We cannot recommend this stay enough for an oceanside escape!

Myra made our stay truly special. First off, the property is beautiful and unique. A short walk and you're on the beach, or walk in a different direction and you're on a cliff, watching the sunset while the waves crash over the rock formations below. Absolutely breathtaking. The unit itself is cozy, warm, and welcoming. Plenty of natural light throughout, and the morning view at the breakfast table is memorable to say the least. The host is friendly, thoughtful, and the stay felt like staying with a favorite aunt rather than a rental. Can't recommend it enough for a couple looking for a romantic, peaceful getaway.

Just enchanting. Weather was perfect, Mendocino Botanical Gardens just down the road, a secret path to the most amazing view of the ocean ever. Myra even made a wonderful fruit tart for us. Lovely spot to relax and explore.

Small and compact, clean and comfortable. Stairs leading up to the loft are a bit steep, but double railing makes it easy. View from pub table dining was amazing. You can’t go wrong in this neat loft for an extended stay. Myra, owner, is so very helpful. No codes or lockboxes, she’s there to help when needed.

Quiet and serene with views that can’t be beat anywhere and we’ve been vacationing in the Mendocino area for our wedding anniversary for years. This was the best trip so far! Myra gave us a tour of the property, including filling us in on a great little hike to the edge of the park to see the sun dip into the ocean at sunset. That experience alone was a memory we will always cherish. We had everything we needed for our stay and comfort. In fact we didn’t want to go anywhere but we did take a little day trip to Mendocino and Fort Bragg (both only 5 minutes away). Thank you Myra for everything! We will definitely be back again!

First, Myra is an awesome host. She gave us a quick guide through the property and some guidance on the path to the beach.
The property and view cannot be beat. You are on the beach! Room is comfortable. Bed is really comfortable. We definitely plan on returning.

This adorable loft was just what my mom and I needed got a getaway. You can’t beat the amazing views and hospitality. Myra is sweet and gave us a tour of the property and showed us paths to the cliffs and beach access and the housekeeper had the house clean and immaculate! Would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting to visit this area!

This property is down a private road and in a very peaceful location. There is access to a small, fairly private cove and there is a trail to a bluff to watch the sunset. It's also not far from Fort Bragg so it didn't take a lot of time to get to town for meals, etc. Everything was clean and in good order. The owner lives on site, but we felt we had fairly private access to the back yard. We enjoyed our stay!

Myra was so helpful and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and exactly as advertised. The location couldn’t have been better - right on the water with incredible views and the sound of the waves audible at all times. A great getaway. Peaceful and relaxing.

This beautiful seaside escape exceeded our expectations. Myra thought of every detail to make our first time to Mendocino County a memorable one. In addition to providing an orientation & guided tour to the beach, she was available and helpful whenever needed.
The view - is AMAZING. Whale watching, so many birds, and beauty all around. It’s adjacent to a state park with a trail you can explore all to yourself.
The location was perfect for exploring the botanical gardens, Russian River Gulch, the lighthouse, great restaurants, and even a day trip to the Avenue of the Giants to see the biggest sequoias.
We loved it. We will be back.

Daydream is exactly what you get from this lovely lofty cottage overlooking spectacular coast near Fort Bragg. Nestled alongside Jughandle protected wild forest in a private small community, you can walk to the beach or take a hike along the headlands to watch the sunset within 5 minutes from this cozy abode. Myra and Enrique are wonderful hosts that insure you have a comfortable stay and give you all the privacy you want. We had a marvelous time, relaxing, hiking and visiting beautiful nearby areas of Fort Bragg and Mendocino. Can’t recommended this place enough!!

We absolutely loved our stay the Daydreams Loft. The view at “The Edge” was spectacular, we spent hours just taking in the scenery. We truly felt like we could just unplug for a few days. The chairs on the edge were quite comfortable as well. The loft was also lovely. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchenette was perfect for our stay. The view from the dining nook was stunning. I have vacationed in Fort Bragg every summer since my childhood, this location was by far my favorite! It is absolutely perfect for couples, it will be our go to on vacations without the kids. Myra was a gracious host, she greeted us when we arrived and gave us privacy for the remainder of our our stay. Thank you Myra, we absolutely loved your home, we will see you again next year!
