We arrived to check-in after receiving a confirmation text and instructions for getting into the room (contactless check-in). The keypad was broken, and we spent some time trying to figure it out, but finally messaged our host. They said they knew it was broken and would be fixed in about an hour. Offered a refund at least! We had tickets and a reservation for activities in FB, but had to scramble to find another place to stay. New place was cheaper and nicer so I guess it worked out.

We stayed in the lighthouse/room 5 over Thanksgiving. The location is super convenient and close to town. Arrival is easy. Room was clean when we arrived. However, it has a really strong, bad smell, like moth balls. We tried to air it out and open windows, but it was cold at night, so not totally feasible. Family in other rooms didn't have the same smell issue. Great that we could bring our dogs. Would have given 5 stars if not for the smell.

Very fun place to stay, but nearly impossible to wash dishes in either the bathroom sink or bathtub!

Beware! Online photos do not represent reality! The first disappointment was the state of the property. Deep potholes smattering the entry, a bank of unsightly refuge bins at the entry, a field of waist high weedy grasses adjoining an unkempt common social area that itself was weedy and held two suspicious BBQs and an unappealing and filthy firepit that no one in their right mind woud fire-up. The so called "park" in the center of the complex was another field of low growing weeds and potholes and was furnished with about a half dozen picnic tables, two of which were scattered with rocks and dirt and leaves. Some people chose to not pick up after their dogs in this area. The entirity of the landscaping was crowded with weeds and in need of some TLC. As for my "individually decorated" Roses and Ivy Cottage: the cute comforter on the website turned into a dull beige duvet that looked dirty but probably wasn't, there were 4 wall hanging hooks with nothing hanging on them, the whole place smelled of "old wet house" (thank goodness for the ceiling fan), doors and cabinets stuck and peeled due to improperly painted interiors, and the "stainless" kitchen sink area was pitted and blotched with staining. The few positives: the bed and 6 pillows provided were very comfortable, the little wall fireplace/heater was a pleasant surprise, the tiny bathroom was okay for a one person use, road noise was minimal with the windows closed, and, best of all was Maria, the stellar housekeeper.

Cute room - full size frig & coffee pot is a plus! The kitchen is fully stocked w/ glassware, dishes etc. room is well appointed, cute decor, but my porch light didn’t work, and I couldn’t figure out how to turn hot tub on. but it was a nice clean and comfortable stay. & covered parking is great. I would return.

We loved our stay and will definitely be back. Staff was quick with responses and extremely accommodating. Location is great. Had a great experience bringing our dog with us as well. Honestly couldn't complain about a single thing! Thank you Shoreline!

Cozy, cute, green outdoor space for dogs.
6.0 / 10.0
No one is on the property to help out. They initially sent the wrong code to get into the room and there was no response at first to our call. They got back to us fairly quickly, but it was not a good start to our stay.
Gas fireplace was supposed to be a feature of the room, but it didn't work with either the remote or the switch. This also meant there was no heat in the room.
The bed is ridiculously high--older people would have a hard time getting in and out of it. And the ceiling fan is ridiculously low--kids on the bed could easily reach it and I was able to grab the blades standing on the floor. Seems like a liability.
And, "Please Remove Your Shoes" on the front door? This is really annoying. I'm a paying customer, not a guest in your home. I'll remove my shoes when I damn well feel like it.
Finally, I just think it's a bad idea to try to run a place with no staff on the premises. At least have someone on site for a few hours around check-in time. Their text says housekeeping staff is there until around 3 pm. If you need something or there's a problem with the room, you're supposed to let someone know before 3. Guess when check-in time is? 3. This doesn't add up.

The location is good and the room was good with a carport to park in. It was quiet other than a little noise from the highway occasionally. The room was clean. The bed was TERRIBLE! The mattress was completely worn out and should have been replaced long ago. The provided shampoo, conditioner and body wash were in mason jars with pumps on them which we did not trust as you could just unscrew the tops and put whatever you wanted in them which didnt seem good as anyone could have contaminated them, so we went and bought travel size containers for ourselves. The shower has very low water pressure and there seemed to be a very small water heater because the hot water ran out about 5 minutes into a shower. All in all it was a good place that could have been great. Ill probably go back if they replace the beds.

Good host communication. For us with a large truck and cottage #1 we had good parking.
This cottage did everything we asked of it.
Good bed, clean bathroom, hot shower, and full kitchen.
We will definitely stay again while in the Fort Bragg area.

The staff at this property were so nice. This is hard to find in todays society. It was so close to everything, and they made sure you knew what is the area if you wanted to explore. The property is well kept and the cottages are adorable. I will definitely stay here again. They even gave my dog a little dog basket full of stuff for his comfort. Amazing!

Cutest little cottages. Shoreline is a bit misleading. More like highwayline. Comfortable and unique. Ceiling fan started squealing at midnight. Woke us up and turning it off made the unairconditioned room a bit warm. Overall nice, but remember you get what you expect.

Shoreline Cottages were adorable and well-maintained, for the most part. I stayed in cabin 10, the “Ocean” cabin. Suitable for 2, but I was there alone. Private patio area was nice, but it only had benches and not comfy chairs for reading. The linens were great, and the furniture was updated. The mattress could use a flip or replace. Nice fireplace but I didn’t use it. There’s very little pressure from the rain head shower so it takes longer than it should to rinse even medium length hair. I would definitely stay here again. Convenient enough to go into Ft Bragg, as well as south for adventures to Little River, Mendocino, or Caspar. No restaurants within walking distance, and if you’re a light sleeper, bring a white noise machine to cover the sound of the highway.

This is our third time here & we stay in same room every time, we love it! They are nice little rooms with a full kitchen which is more budget friendly. The staff are very friendly and help immediately if needed. The one thing I would change is the mattress. It was uncomfortable this time.

This is our 2nd time visiting the property. We love that its dog friendly. Close to downtown and restaurants/shopping. Personal parking in front of room. Easy in/out access. Cant wait to visit again!

The Bird House cabin was clean and very functional. The beds and pillows were good and comfortable. The unit could use a few more outlets for chargers. The decor was adequate but needed a little TLC. It was a
Good value for the area.

Loved the fireplace heater. Nice ambiance. Shower in #9 needs to be re-caulked. Didn’t bother me that much but it could bother others. Towels were very nice and the room was made up beautifully. I will look forward to visiting again!

Housekeeping is the only one who comes to the property but leaves by 3:00. The hot tub was disgusting. I was told someone would come to clean it. No one did. The property itself is not taken care of and there are weeds waist high.

Cute and very clean cottages, comfortable and convenient with a nicely equipped kitchenette that allows for cooking if desired. The contactless check in is very easy, with code provided for the electronic door lock.
Housekeeping staff was very friendly and helpful, providing extra towels and sundries, great job with cleanliness!!
Will definitely come again.

We had a great stay at this cottage. It was an easy and straightforward check in and check out process. It was clean, with a well-appointed kitchen. The bed and pillows were very comfortable which gave us restful sleep. The cottage is beside the main road but because of the cul-de-sac layout, the road noises were barely audible. There was free parking on a car port attached to the cottage which was safe. The cottage was in a great location. Just a short drive to all the nearby beaches and to the town proper. The humidity in the cottage was a mild issue as the floors in the bathroom and kitchen were constantly moist and therefore might be prone to mold. Overall, a good value for money. We had a great stay and would recommend this place to friends and family.

The room had plenty of room and extra perks such as outside tables and chairs. Our room was far enough from the road so I did not hear the cars and trucks in the early morning. We both appreciated the close drive to the Noyo Harbor.

The property was run down with only 1 loud space heater for warmth. In general felt dirty and unkept

The room was excellent the landscaping could use some attention and the sewage water running down the driveway needed some attention also

I also liked that the rooms don't sharing connecting walls.

Clean and well set up. A little hard to find. Shower was great. Easy contact and easy entry. Would have used hot tub and outdoor area if it hadn’t been dumping buckets of rain

Lovely cottages! Ours had everything we needed and plan to come stay here again! The management was very accommodating.

While these cottages are cute, centrally located and had a kitchen, the heaters were small, and the toilet was leaking on the floor.
10.0 / 10.0
We have stayed here MANY times, through a few different ownership groups.
The contactless check-in (and all that has gone into renovating to make that happen) is great!
Staff were very helpful and accommodating (we needed a pet basket, and they provided it while we were out and about, which was super helpful!).
I will say that 10am checkout is a bit early, and not super convenient (considering check-in is 3pm). It used to be later, which allowed us to go to breakfast and then come back to collect out belongings. 10am put us into a little bit of a rush to get out before breakfast since we knew we would not be able to get back by checkout.
Otherwise, we highly recommend this location for a stay.
We will definitely return!

My husband and I stayed for a weekend and loved it. We appreciated that we had more privacy than a typical hotel room and that we had access to a kitchen to prepare simple meals. The setting is quiet and the cottage was very clean. We didn't bring our dog with us this time, but like that they are dog friendly. The staff are easy to communicate with and very attentive.
