Terrific Views

The home is located directly across the a non-busy street from the ocean. It is a very quiet location with nothing but the noise of the ocean. The king size bed is very comfortable.

The property was perfect for two people. It was right across from beach access, with access to a bike and walking path. It was a quick drive into Ft. Bragg. Read the description of the rental carefully! Only has a half kitchen (microwave, toaster, and hot plate ONLY). The door lock code did not work upon arrival and had to call Vacasa to let us into the property. After a long drive and limited cell service in the area, this was stressful, but once in everything was great.

Highly recommended!

This unit had a cheerful beachy feeling to it. We loved the layout. The fridge/freezer was a bit small. But the views of the ocean far outweigh that.

Located right on the beach.

Great location. The beach is across the road and a short walk. The property faces the ocean and has views straight at the ocean. Crack open a window and listen to the waves. Located in a great neighborhood and only a few minutes from Ft.Bragg. Immaculately clean, looks to have been newly painted. Nicely decorated. Very comfortable bed. Nice kitchenette. Easy to control room temperature. Big bathroom, nice tub and shower. Our dogs did great. No broom or vacuum for the sand they dragged in. Only negative thing I’d have to say is that there isn’t a chair an ottoman seen in pictures; just a couch. So not a lot of seating. Wasn’t a problem. Keyless entry was tricky. Enjoyed our stay and will certainly return.

Disliked: Amenities
Stairs!!!! A steep staircase was not mentioned in advertising. Cute little cottage with beautiful ocean views. Nice decor accents. Only set up for tall people. Bar stools were the only chairs. High up bed. At 5 feet tall it was nearly impossible for me to navigate the furniture. No comfy chair like the photos, only a sofa. Tall sided shower too. Cute but will not stay again.

Wonderful, but...

Wonderful, quiet, and scenic, right across the street from the beach. Check in was challenging after a long day of travel. No onsite manager, lock code didn't work. Ten minutes on the phone with a "service agent" finally got us into the property using a different code and a different lock box. Frustrating start to an otherwise pleasant stay.

Cozy beach getaway

So close to the beach! Beautiful property, and very clean. Perfect for two! (if I had to nitpick, I would suggest adding a non-slip bath mat in the tub!)

Quiet, safe neighborhood across from ocean

It has stairs to climb with your bags. The code lock was frustrating to work - had to try a few times each time to get open. One room sweet is nicely decorated. Deck looks out across to ocean. Heavenly to hear the waves from bed and watch sunsets from deck. Deck chairs are deep and need some back cushions. Need a few wall hooks on which to hang clothes since no closets. Floors were dirty, in need of mopping. Bathtub needs a non- slip pas because it is very slippery. No beach towels were provided as indicated on write- up page online. No backyard spa which was mentioned in reviews. Overall, nice,pleasant suite for two people for three nights.

Best location ever!

This is our second stay here with two kids and dogs. You can’t beat the location. Truly perfect. The bed is comfortable as well as the pull out sofa bed. Sunset views and beach days are beautiful. We cooked all our meals and appreciated the toaster oven, microwave and hot plate. The only thing that would have improved our stay would have been a few more cooking utensils ( a spatula for cooking pancakes and a few more wooden or plastic spoons would be super helpful). Oh, also, even though we removed shoes with dogs and kids sand happened and I really wished for a broom and dustpan for a daily sweep up. Other than that this is our yearly vacation we look forward to!
