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.

Great rental for dog owners, beach access and peaceful environment

As a dog rental, we don't always have high expectations of what we get in a rental. This place was much better than the pictures portrayed! The living room was spacious and very comfortable with nice window views into the garden. Bedrooms are decent and beds were comfortable. Kitchen was decently stocked. The only thing missing was a medium to large frying pan/skillet and a good paring knife. The gas BBQ was nice to have with an outdoor deck to sit out on. The neighbors are not very close in proximity so there is lots of privacy and it is really quiet and peaceful. We had no problems with the cell reception (Verizon) and Wifi. Though they have Direct TV with lots of channels, we couldn't find any local or national news stations. The walk to the dog friendly beach took 5 minutes and hardly any people were there. This is not a fancy place but nicely furnished and very comfortable. We had a wonderful stay at the Parkside house!

Family trip

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.

Beautiful home with easy beach access

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.

Great setting...but...

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.

Bliss 0ut!

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!!

Wonderful time at Parkside

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Parkside. We loved the location with the short walking distance to the beach. The ocean and beach decor inside is lovely. The house was fully stocked with everything you need and they had stated you get a starter kit for the stay but there was no way we would ever have used that much. It was just my husband and I for this visit so we only slept on the king in the master bedroom and it was comfortable. While we were there a painter came by to check out the job for the owners which was fine with us and especially great news he will be removing all the wallpaper and painting. It was pretty wild in one bedroom! The only complaint we had was the sofa in the living room is extremely uncomfortable. The yard is very nice and groomed. It would be wonderful place for a family vacation with children as it has it all even an outdoor shower. It’s a great place for your dog also!

Making Memories

We had a wonderful time making memories with my elderly parents at this cozy getaway. Our family has always loved the coast of California and enjoy soaking in the sea breeze and crashing surf. This home accommodated the needs of our family and was very comfortable and relaxing. The close proximity to walking paths along the coast are a plus. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect getaway!

Secluded location close to town. Loved seeing all the deer wander through. The house is perfect in every way -- well kept, clean and comfortable. Internet is spotty so be sure to download movies ahead of time or take advantage of their many games and puzzles instead! Weather was spectacular in mid October. Look forward to our next stay!

Wonderful week

Had a great time at this rental home. Walked to the beach every morning. Quiet location. Beds were comfy. Only downside, no screens on any of the windows. There are mosquitos/bees/wasps, so we couldn’t keep windows open for very long. The cool weather would have been nice to blow through the house with windows open. Great overall stay. Looking forward to staying again.

Walk to the Beach

If you're after the right kind of beach-side stay, this is your cottage. Extremely comfortable stay, easy to escape and feel solitude. Miles of beach short walk from the front door. The kind of stay you hope for. Of course internet and cell were a drip feed, but that's the point folks. Break out the cards and get some digital detox.

The house was very clean. I think the living room couch needs to be replaced as it was sinking. Also some comfortable outdoor furniture would be appreciated. The beds were comfortable.
