Dog-friendly Oceanfront home with Private Hot tub

Summary:

Sandborn



The Space:

As if the having the ocean right outside your Fort Bragg getaway wasn't perfect enough, there's even enough space to bring your entire family! This 3,200 square foot beach house sits perched on MacKerricher State Park among dunes and protected nature. It's the perfect site for your next big family reunion or any getaway for everyone! Dogs are also allowed for a small nightly fee.



About four and a half miles north of Fort Bragg proper, this home is in the quiet village of Cleone, giving you easy access to Highway 1 as well as the seclusion you seek in a vacation. Both Lake Cleone, for a serene stroll, and the Purple Rose Mexican Restaurant and Cantina for homestyle food, are a short walk away from your front door. Right outside your getaway are the MacKerricher dunes and trails, a perfect place for a headland hike and a picnic. You can also visit fun and funky Fort Bragg for brunch and a stroll around local boutiques or come for dinner.



As you approach this oceanfront Fort Bragg home, you'll be welcomed by the sea fog and a rustic but well-maintained facade. Greet the rest of your party from one of the two decks as they trickle in. On a clear night, take out the provided telescope and see what you can spy.



On the bottom half of this home, you'll have a spacious den to convene and make plans for the trip (with help from the provided WiFi). Take a moment to write out postcards or record moments in your journal at the desk or watch the big game together on the cable-equipped TV before the new sofa and comfy armchair. Play cards or a board game at the four-seat table before the wall of windows - or you can simply gaze out at the spectacular view beckoning you to comb for pebbles in the sand.



This den also doubles as a room for children to have a sleepover on the sofabed. Two more bedrooms are available on this floor, each with memory foam queen beds.



Upstairs is the living room with brand new furnishings, kitchen, and more bedrooms. The living room has a second TV and sofabed - a perfect room for close friends to have an old-school sleepover if they want! Of course, this space also has huge windows with panoramic views of the ocean.



Make popcorn or even a Sunday dinner around the solid wood table in the fully stocked kitchen. Complete with all new stainless steel appliances, this kitchen provides all that you need. Pop a bottle of local wine to share on the upper deck while the kids play freely on the sprawling yard below.



This property is solar-powered and has a generator, so if the rest of the town is without power, this home will still have electricity and be nice and toasty!



If you've never explored the area, take a mini road trip down the coast for a day trip to Mendocino and Albion, the latter about 20 miles from the home. Since Fort Bragg is definitely the biggest town on the northern coast, you'll have the pleasure of finding little, hidden gems in the smaller towns you find along the drive. Nature walks and farm stands dot the area for a true California experience you can't get in the big cities.



You can't beat the location of this Northern California Coast vacation rental! Come see for yourself how beautiful the area is from your own private getaway!



This home is solar-powered, and it has a backup generator that supplies electricity to the home if the area experiences a power failure.

The home was within a short walk of the beach and had a wonderful view of the ocean. It was laid out well for our large group. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils for preparing meals at the property. Great location. Lots to do nearby.It could use some maintenance ( carpet cleaning, painting, screen repair), but overall was a lovely home and we would be happy to stay there again.

Location Great, but overall experience was poor due to filthy pet stained carpets. Had to remove shoes. "Pet Friendly' was vast understatement,The house has some neglect as exhibited by the pet stains and torn screen doors yet we were expected to "Take off our shoes inside the to 'enjoy the feel of the carpet on our feet.' The carpets thru out the house wereall urine stained as well as a number of pet an/or human 'Acccidents'. Way overpriced . The hot Tub was also dated the controls and jets below par and the filtration was poor. Stayed in many properties along the California coast and this one was among the worst as far a not being what was expected at the price point. Dissapointing that the owner has let the place decline over the years. better oceanfront properties than this on the N. California coast.

The location of this house can't be topped. You are only a few minutes to town or a scenic drive up HWY 1. You are only a short walk to the beach right from the front door. You feel as if there is no one else for miles and miles. The views are breathtaking from all the many windows. The house is comfortable with plenty of space for everyone. It is warm and cozy. The hot tub is wonderful. The property manager was available at a moment's notice and very helpful. Our group would go back to this wonderful home many times.

ok stay

The only thing good about this place is the view. Needs fixing: exterior doorknobs, stair gate, patio door screen, ice maker, mold in caulking, hot tub cover broken. Rug underneath table was severely wrinkled! Table bench ready to collapse! Needs deep cleaning: inside kitchen cabinets, louvered doors, light fixtures, bathroom walls around toilets. Seriously-2 kitchen towels!! Start dishwasher before leaving but no soap. Vacuum full besides not working. Hot & cold water reversed in bathroom. 1 trash bag! Fortunately we spent most of our time at the beach.

Maintenance

The house was very nice. Kitchen well equipped. But the dishwasher did not work. It was dirty inside it and dishes put away in cabinet also has stuck on food. Called in problem. They sent someone who did nothing. Second call and handyman came and pronounced it broken But this guy fixed the toilet which the first guy broke during his repair try. On leaving we mentioned to the cleaners that dishwasher was broken and they said this has Been an Ongoing Problem. The staff ignored this. Also there were several light fixtures which had burned out bulbs with no replacement available The location is great. The space is great. But someone needs to take care of it better.

Outstanding view/ocean access with lots of space

Hard to believe anywhere else could beat the spectacular views of the coast from here. No real close neighbors, very quiet. Comfortable and plentiful bedding as well as towels for the bathrooms and the hot tub. So much room upstairs and down for a large group. There are some quirks that can be attributed to the age of the place and the need for a bit of tlc. The only real disappointment we had is that twice during our stay pickup trucks came on to the property through the gate (locked by a gate code) without any notice. One was a roofing company truck that pulled in, turned around in the driveway and just left without a word. On another day, a pickup showed up with a man who said he was there to "fix the refrigerator." The refrigerator was working just fine. We had children with us and felt very uncomfortable with these unannounced visits. We reached out to Vacasa, who manages this property, without a single response still, even as I write this the day after our 1/2 week stay.

Older home in a great location. The view is amazing!! Lots of room for the whole family, 12 of us. There were dirty clothes left from the people before us which was not great. The railings on the stairs were wide enough for the kids to fit through, but we improvised and blocked them. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much.

The view

The view was the saving grace of this property. The house is old and in disrepair. Everything about this property screams outdated. At least the beds were comfortable. The hot tub was unusable, due to the lack of any lighting to or from the house. I guess it’s just for daytime? The pots and pans have been there since the 70’s. There was a steam shower that you couldn’t use and a propane stove you couldn’t use, guess they are afraid of burning the house down, a valid concern as the outside is old and crumbling, this home has a lovely property and the view but, the owners are not putting in a penny to make it what it could be. If you have a large group and want a property with a stunning view and, don’t care about anything else then, this is the place for you. It’s big! And close to Mackerricher state park and walking trail.

The views and location to the ocean were perfect. The house needed some repairs. Ceiling fan near kitchen was too wobbly to use. Trash can in kitchen was broken as well as the two crispers in the fridge that were not original. Chairs shown in the picture around the table were missing 3 and replaced with a bench. Chairs left were a bit wobbly too. Carpet was really dirty in some places. Dishwasher upper rack could not be pulled out more than needed without holding it in place. Living room was comfortable but the windows were dirty as were most blinds. The views and quiet location were a 10. It just needs some updating and attention. Did not stay downstairs but another couple did and they had no complaints regarding the area down there.
