About this property

Sand Waves - Beach Access

This exceptional home offers expansive ocean and dune views with comfort, sophistication and style. The artfully decorated open concept living area includes a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, sleek granite counters, and breakfast bar. There is a large custom table with high back chairs for a memorable meal and comfortable seating for relaxing in front of the gas fireplace. A row of floor-to-ceiling windows offers open views of the shoreline and Ten Mile dunes, from every room in the house.

All three bedrooms have king size beds, their own designated bathroom and double sliding glass doors with those amazing ocean views. Each door leads to the spacious deck that extends the length of the home and offers a gas barbecue, hammock & outdoor dining. Here, right at the back door, you may enjoy the salty sea breezes as well as the awesome views as you listen to the soothing sounds of the surf. Just a short stroll (less than 500 feet) will lead you to the staircase accessing the beach below.

Although Sand Waves is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 2.

Beautiful Home and a lovely Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay in this home. The house was amazing with fabulous views. There was a mix up with the key, but staff worked diligently to rectify the situation and even provided a nice bottle of wine. I highly recommend Mendocino Preferred and look forward to renting from them again.

Great house, great location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed at Sand Waves for 3 nights with 5 girlfriends. We loved the 3 king beds, and the 3 full bathrooms! Each room looks out on the coast. The hot tub was great and the hammock was so comfy! The kitchen is huge and well stocked. The beach is indeed within walking distance, but be aware that the stairs are long and steep! Ten Mile Beach is a beautiful beach. We had an issue with the TV and Mendocino Preferred sent a very nice woman to **** us solve the problem. My friends and I had a great time, and we would rent Sand Waves again.

Vacation by the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this home for a long weekend with my parents. Upon arrival the house is spacious, loved how the master was completely separate from the rest of the rooms. Huge laundry (bring your own soap and fabric softener, it is not provided.) Loved the 3 spacious bathrooms, and rooms that face the ocean. Great hot tub & kitchen. Technology in the home was lacking with VHS tapes and slow wifi, but we weren't home that much so was a non issue. The beach access, was amazing, very steep stairs, but then you are right on the beach and a gorgeous beach where it was pretty quiet! 😊 My major problem was the ant infestation. This is an obvious issue due to the sign about ants in the kitchen and the active bait in the kitchen on arrival. They were everywhere though. In the kitchen, laundry, bathroom and by the end they were in my bag, on my clothes, in my purse. I had called the company and their only solution was to give us more ant bait. I have two small toddlers and to me this really wasn't possible. The smell alone from the ant bait was very toxic smelling. They stated they would have a manager call me and never did. Just had someone drop off more ant bait. All in all, it was a great location and beautiful home.

Ocean view home

The interior home was very clean, spacious, had newer appliances, and had large windows with nice views. The deck had enough seating for many. The bathrooms were good size too. They provide coffee and creamer. The cons is that they don’t provide shampoo or conditioner. The exterior front house needs updating. There were multiple abandoned wasps nests attached to the house. Luckily we didn’t see any bees or wasps but not something you want to see. Overall I would recommend due to the proximity of the beach. It does require walking up and down multiple stairs which a few of our guest couldn’t do due to knee issues.

Beautiful views and comfy house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home. We stayed here about 5 years ago and loved ease of getting to the beach and great views the first time, so we came back. Beds are comfy, spa is awesome, kitchen is stocked with any utensil or appliance you could need. Both loveseats are a bit low and for older adults hard to get out of.

Sand Waves Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the first time I've stayed in the Seaside Beach location north of Fort Bragg. The neighbourhood stairway down to the beach is a highlight. Walking along the fens, just south of the neighbourhood was great. I saw seals in Ten Mile River when I was coming back from that hike. The house itself is nice. the kitchen is large with enough room and implements for several cooks. Each bedroom has a great view of the ocean waves rolling in. The beds were comfortable. There are two deep bathtubs for soaking and an outside hot tub. There were lots of birds in the neighbourhood. I especially enjoyed the red-wing blackbird males singing. They reminded me of my childhood. Thanks, Mendocino Preferred and SandWave owners for the nice stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We like this house and have stayed here twice.Walking down to the private beach is a plus.The only critique I would give is :update the living room furniture to include a long couch and to buy a better mattress in the yellow bedroom.

Would stay here again!

Very nice home, lots of windows, spacious rooms and very clean. We didn't do any cooking, just coffee in the morning but it definitely has a great kitchen. It rained mostly, but with all the windows we didn't feel locked inside.

Sand Waves-an exceptional home in a lovely setting

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed at Sand Waves for a second time with our friends. It was as wonderful as the first time! Sand Waves is a very comfortable house with lovely furnishings and a well stocked and beautiful kitchen area. It is very easy to feel right at home and start relaxing immediately when staying here. And, as always, the Mendocino Preferred Team made everything easy. One never needs to be concerned about anything when booking through them.

Hard to leave

What a relaxing ocean-side stay in a neighborhood that was quiet. With bluff-access only dozens of steps away, this home is a gem.

Delightful stay at tranquil beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really enjoyed the Sand Waves property for a girls weekend with a couple pups. The place is well stocked, clean with modern amenities and the location is lovely. Beach access is a a few houses down the street in a quiet neighborhood with a stunning beach. The location is a about 10 min north of Fort Bragg, so a bit out of town, but the beach and tranquility made the drive worthwhile. Reservations and the check in/out process was smooth and well documented.

Missed the little things

Overall the property is in a great location and the house is nicely done on the inside but everything else was done on the cheap. The pillows are just plain awful and there are no extras, there is no shampoo in any bathroom, 2 of the 3 mattresses are old and very uncomfortable. The living room furniture is about 10 years passed its useful life and the wifi only covers half of the house. If you plan on cooking you will need to buy and bring everything, all they keep on hand is the minimal spices. The checkout 'to-do list' is extensive/excessive and makes you wonder why a cleaning crew is needed. The big picture hits on this house but the small things that make a house feel like home are a huge miss.

The house was perfect for our family and we lucked out on the weather. Far enough away from town in a small quiet neighborhood with plenty of room, cooking utencils and you can tell it is well taken care of. We will definitely be staying here again!!

5 Star Beautiful Home in Fabulous Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I rented Sand Waves with another couple. We’ve all visited the Mendocino area often and rented a variety of homes in the area. Sand Waves was by far our favorite. Each room was extraordinarily comfortable and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances were top notch, making cooking a pleasure. The views were beautiful from every room, and the home was a hop skip and jump from an outstanding walking beach. As always, Mendocino Preferred Vacation Rentals provided excellent service, both prior to our trip and during our trip. They took care of an issue with the refrigerator almost instantaneously. We look forward to renting this home again in the very near future.

Wonderful Stay With Beautiful View in Fort Bragg

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Sand Waves couldn’t have been better. The home is as nice a pictured, if not better. The large windows in the living area provide a beautiful view of the ocean and let the natural light in. All bedrooms have an ocean view and the bathrooms are updated. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and we had no problem cooking Christmas holiday meals. The house is well maintained and extremely clean.... one of the best we’ve stayed in over the years. This is a very comfortable home for a small family or a few couples. We will definitely return.
