Find a timeless coastal retreat at this three-bedroom Fort Bragg cottage, a welcoming family home with a sun-splashed deck with outdoor shower, a beautiful tree-lined property, and wonderful access to nearby towns, beaches, and ocean bluffs.

This quaint home sits on an open, grassy property, right on the edge of lush woodlands and the eastern reaches of MacKerricher State Park. Head four miles south into downtown Fort Bragg to hop on board the Skunk Train or marvel at the treasures on Glass Beach, spend afternoons exploring the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens seven miles south, and take short walks down to MacKerricher's ocean bluffs to look for passing whales and watch spectacular sunsets.

With wood floors including newly installed LVP flooring, large windows, and thoughtful, comfortable furnishings, this cheerful cottage is full of bucolic charm. Spend foggy mornings reading on the plush sectional sofa, cozying up by the electric fireplace, and flipping pancakes in the full country kitchen with natural wood cabinetry, standard appliances, and a dishwasher.

Take daily excursions to the artsy village of Mendocino (14 miles south) and other breathtaking stretches of California Highway 1, and return home to unwind in the sunshine on the deck. Set the dining room table or the patio table for dinner, and linger outside with a bottle of wine to watch the stars fill the night sky. Back inside, you'll have a cable TV and free WiFi to bring the evening to a relaxing close.

Escape the tourist trail on the incredible Northern California Coast - come and discover the beauties of Fort Bragg today!

Cute house with everything you need. Loved to be able to walk down the street and be right on the beach. We’d love to come back.

The house was really nice, clean and welcoming. We didn’t spend a lot of time there but we did enjoy the area. A short walk took us to the beach and a paved path for longer walks.

We felt like we were home! Very cute house with tons of amenities. We didn't have time to play any of the games or puzzles, but nice to have options of we had a rainy day. The beach access is less than a quarter mile walk or half mile drive to a parking lot. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit.

Nestled in a beautiful, private lush green setting, this house is located perfectly with a short walk down the residential area to the beach. We loved that we didn't have to drive to get to the haul road where, before giant waves took out the connection through the park, you could walk literally for miles. What we didn't love is that it needs a serious deep cleaning. (the cleaning by the Vacasa staff was fine) Dusty waterstained curtains, old cobwebs and grimy buildup in the bathrooms was off putting. It was most notable in the kitchen, which seemed like an afterthought to the rest of the house, as the kitchen cabinets were tacky with grease, probably because the outdated stove had an non-operable vent fan. The windows in the kitchen (and everywhere else) have no screens which allowed flies in. Half the cabinets had glass doors, half had none. While we were able to cook our meals, the kitchen was only barely adequately stocked with basic items. Hard to find two items the same size for serving or eating, like a cobbled together hodgepodge of dishes. The dryer has a short run, maybe two feet, but the exhaust hose was so long, crimped and ballooning from pressure that it took 90 minutes to dry a very small load of laundry. House is a mix of outdated and updated, one of the bathrooms was very nice although both toilets were badly stained brown. During our stay the water from the faucets was often murky, maybe from the cistern and because it was raining but that was also off putting. Maybe it's a work in progress, but the owners could really make it sing with some TLC, some work on the deferred maintenance and congruity throughout.

Great location a block from the (on leash) dog friendly beach - they really should be on leash because there are nesting birds, deer, skunk and other wildlife. I even saw a river otter running around the creek on the beach, then dive into the ocean and disappear. I saw it again a few days later at low tide, sitting on the reef, eating a fish. This house is very nice. It has a very functional kitchen and we made some awesome, healthy meals. We loved sitting on the back deck in the morning sun, listening to the birds. Everyone we talked to in the neighborhood and in fort Bragg were very warm and friendly. We love it here!

Loved this place and will return for sure. So close to the Mackerricher ocean view bike path. 60 seconds out of the driveway to see the ocean on foot. Very comfy and well appointed. Also the Wi-Fi was flawless and smart tv worked great!!
