About this house rental
Beach Haven is the perfect park-like retreat for being as relaxed or adventurous as you feel. The light and bright open concept living area include a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and an eat-in island. The large dining table is the perfect place to enjoy a memorable meal with loved ones. Choose from many comfortable seating options throughout the room to relax and enjoy the ocean, lake, and pond views.
In the separate game room, watch a movie, play video or board games, or try your luck on the foosball or shuffleboard tables. The game room has it all, including a queen sofa sleeper.
There are three additional bedrooms (Primary King, and 2 queens) to choose from, two with en-suites and one additional detached bath.
The private guest cottage includes a queen bed, private bathroom with shower, sitting area, refrigerator, and TV.
Outside unwind in the ocean view hot tub or relax by the lively pond filled with colorful lily pads and fish. The storybook gazebo is the perfect place to read a book or just enjoy the nature all around you.
The property borders MacKerricher State Park. The park offers miles of hiking trails to enjoy all of the Mendocino Coast's natural splendor. It covers nine miles of coastline that contains several types of coastal habitat, including beaches, dunes, headlands, coves, wetlands, tide pools, forests, and a freshwater lake.
**Please Note: due to state park funding cuts, the trail around Lake Cleone that is used to access the beach from the property is not currently being maintained.
Less than 1/2 mile away, you will find Cleone Grocery & Ricochet Ridge Ranch, where you can schedule a horseback ride on the beach.
This truly is the perfect retreat to make lasting Mendocino memories with your family and friends.

We are so happy we booked this house. We had 3 generations together for a family vacation and loved this home. Very close to downtown Fort Bragg and local beaches. The home has 4 beds/4 bath which was important to us so that everyone could have their own space. It also has a huge game room with a pull-out queen bed which my kiddos slept on.The kitchen is remodeled and leads right to the family room so we could all hang out together. The property is lovely! Hot tub, pond, and a very large backyard. We had a slight problem with the cable but the property management company was super responsive and sent someone out right away! 5 star service from that company! We all felt so at home and welcomed! Some properties have notes all over the home instructing "Don't do this! Don't do that!", but that wasn't the case at this home, we all felt so comfortable and welcomed! From the fresh flowers they left on the kitchen counter, to all the extra blankets and amenities. We will definitely be back. 5 Star home!

Beach Haven has a lot going for it. Big roomy house with every amenity you could ever want or need. 4 couples and 3 children with room to spare. Everyone had their own bathroom. 3 miles north of Fort Bragg. Beautiful view of the ocean in the distance. Huge deck with clean hot tub. However... there were ants EVERYWHERE. In the kitchen, all rooms, got on our clothes, cabinets, food, even in the refrigerator. Owner must know this because there was any spray and traps on site. This rental needs to be shut down for a week and fumigated. The other problem are the skunks living under the guest cottage. Very strong skunk smell. I had called in advance after seeing other reviews and was ASSURED this was mitigated “once and for all”. This was definitely not the case. We personally own a rental property and know what is expected by guests. It is not acceptable to continue to offer this property further without fixing these two issues, which in the big picture, would be the most prudent thing to do. I would otherwise highly recommend this property once these issues are truly fixed.

We all had a great time at the home away from home! It is very well equipped and the outdoor setting is beautiful as well. The only thing is you will have to take your own shower gel as we were supplied with the tiny soap bars which are not easy to use for showers.

The photos didn't do it justice. Loved the decorations. Super spacious and comfortable. May be the best house we have rented. The hot tub is located on the deck facing the ocean where we could watch the sun go down.

This was our annual family (adults) trip and we had a comfortable stay. Our only complaint would be the lack of closets and hooks for hanging clothes and towels in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Other than that everything was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay in Fort Bragg. Even though it was stormy getting hear, it was well worth the trip from the Bay Area. The home is nicely layed out and the master bedroom was roomy.
The other two bedrooms were nice size, each with their own personal bathroom. The game room was nice addition for young teen to sleep on the couch.
The guest house was perfect size for 20 year old son.
Our two dogs loved the fenced in back yard to romp and play. They had towels readily available to towel of muddy paws.
I would definately stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
Nice property that's clean and well maintained. We enjoyed our stay. However it's import to highlight that this property NOT 5BR as listed in AirBnB. It's actually 4BR + 1 pull out couch in the game room. It's confusing because the listing clearly says 5BR but then only in the fine print it explains that it's actually a 4BR + pull out couch.This is a pity, because an otherwise great stay was marred with an awkward situation where some folks in our group who were expecting a 5th bedroom with privacy had to sleep in the game room instead.

This property is wonderful for a family or friend gathering. We had children in our group so the extra family/game room was perfect. We had enough people to use the guest cottage which was also great. The kids loved the property and ran around the entire time we were there. The kitchen is adequately stocked.

We absolutely enjoyed the spacious well equipped and well decorated property. We had a distant ocean view from the large deck and gazebo. The kitchen appliances were top drawer. The game room, bedrooms and dining room were all you could ask for.
The only downsides were proximity to the highway, a broken front gate and intermittent internet (but who needs internet when you have a great sunset, a glass of wine and a great hot tub)!

Nice place but real issues with internet going down completely several times so I had to go into town to work

We really enjoyed our stay. Clean with very comfortable beds and a well appointed kitchen. The large outdoor deck area provides a view of the ocean and relaxing view of the property. Many of the bedrooms have their own bathrooms which makes multiple family use very convenient. The game room is cozy with a very nice and comfortable sofa. There are really two areas for entertaining. Great for older children in one area and adults in the other. Would absolutely stay here again.

My family and I had a great stay for a few nights. Amazing location with a distant view of the ocean. Lots of privacy. The trail to the beach is really overgrown so that was unfortunate, but it’s just a short drive away anyways. There were some ants around the kitchen/bathrooms when we arrived (probably from the rain). The beds were not the comfiest but not super bad either - just felt a little worn. Hot tub was great. Everything was very clean. A little pricey for just the 4 of us but that’s a given with the location. Would definitely stay again.

This house was everything we could ask for and more. There was so much room and space for everyone we didn’t feel crowded. The kids had a blast playing in the game room or just outside in the backyard exploring. It’s minutes from the beach and state park. Everything was clean and very well kept we had no complaints. Will definitely come back here again!

We really loved our stay, house was exactly as described. The property was spacious and it offered a lot of privacy. We did have some minor issues with the septic, but that was resolved quickly. We really enjoyed the game room and also the large patio with the hot tub. The best part of our stay was how amazing the property managers were, easy to get in touch with and extremely nice. I highly recommend staying at Beach Haven because it's a beautiful property in a nice location

Reviewer Comments:
This was a great place for a family reunion! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen-dining-living room area a great place to hang out, and the game room a real plus for traveling with family aged 2 to 75. The cottage was much appreciated by the couple who used it. There is an unusual odor, which none of us identified as skunk, and it didn’t bother the couple using it. The path to the beach was as described by others: overgrown, but usable for the young and fit. It is walkable to the beach going north on the highway briefly and then turning left into MacKerricher. It is only 2.5 miles into town, so easy access to supplies and eateries. We love Fort Bragg— many good restaurants, several markets, some fun shops as well as practical stores like hardware stores and drug stores. The property the house is located on is a delight... ocean view. Hot tub, nice deck, gazebo, pond, bridge and plenty of space for kids to throw a frisbee or kick a ball around. The kitchen is stocked pretty well. We live in the area and cook a lot, so we brought over a lot of equipment, but could have managed without it. We would lay out a couple of things differently— e.g. dishwasher is hard to unload and not accessible when someone is cooking; eating utensils are really hard to get at if someone is prepping food— but it’s all manageable. The property is close to the highway, but the noise is pretty minimal from most of the property. Wi-Fi was fine and we were able to stream Tv and music we wanted. The house was very clean; only issue was broken glass in the gazebo...floor and table had lots of tiny shards. The only thing we needed from the rental company was an interim trash pick-up and they were on it right away. Many thanks to all involved in making Beach Haven available for a great family gathering!

My family truly enjoyed our stay at Beach Haven. The only complaint was the back in-laws house had ants in the bed and a skunk-like odor. So we stayed out of the in-laws house and enjoyed the front house. The property and view were amazing and Patty, the neighbor, was quite friendly and welcoming. There's plenty of space for kids to run and explore. I'd highly recommend the property.
