Beautiful weather, beautiful location. The house was very comfortable. The Views were fantastic . We did not use the hot tub, it was a little uninviting. Prefer an outdoor hot tub.. Overall, state was great

Oceanfront - California Coast

My family enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is a lot bigger than seen in pictures providing ample space for both adults and teens. Excellent location, not only is it oceanfront with easy beach access, the property is also close to stores, restaurants, and parks. Lots to do in Fort Bragg! We loved looking at the seals and finding marine life in the tide pools at MacKerricher State Park. We also enjoyed the sunroom and views from the deck! Beautiful sunsets and ocean!

Great location, very clean

Had a great 4 day weekend. Location is perfect. Neighborhood is quiet. The house is fairly dated inside. Stove can be tricky to work and the heater in the downstairs bedroom didnt work.

Perfect Family Beach House

Had an incredibly relaxing, fun family vacation at this amazing beachfront house! The home is comfortable and super family oriented - lots of cushy couches and chairs, some board games, beach toys in the garage. Stunning views of the ocean and sunset from every window and the deck. The beach is literally steps away and was practically private, with super soft sand, tide pools, and plenty of room for games, sandcastles and naps! A bike path between the beach and house extends for miles in either direction, for folks wanting to jog, stroll or ride. The added bonuses of the indoor hot tub and the backyard fire pit lead to evening fun. Made lots of wonderful memories and got some much needed R&R before heading back to school. We cant wait to book again next summer!

family time

This home was exactly what our family hoped for celebrating our time together. The children (ages 5 - 15) were unanimous in agreement that being close to beach was the highlight. The adults loved the beautiful ocean views, the quiet location, and an inviting homey feeling. I loved the ease of working with property management.

Spectacular location

We stayed at the Beacon House for five nights right after Christmas. This was a gathering of three couples and children. The house was large with an unusual and beautiful glass enclosed entrance and two bedroom downstairs that allowed couples some unexpected isolation and space. The dining room looking towards the ocean was our favorite place, especially on the rainy days one can get in December. We found the house to be better and larger than it looks in the photos. The kitchen and the downstairs shower could use remodeling, but everything worked well enough to have had a very enjoyable time.

Great for family of 9.

All of us enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of room for our family of 9 with lots room for our grandkids to play both inside and outside. The house is in a nice location…close to many attractions in the area. There was easy access to the beach….even for this 72 year old grandmother! The views of the ocean were amazing and we all spent lots of time on the deck and at the large table with its terrific views of the water. We did wish that more of the windows, especially on the dining porch, opened and had screens. Would definitely stay here again when we’re in the area.

On the beach perfection

We had a great time at this beach house! It was as expected, with great WiFi, right on the beach. The paved walking trail runs along the beach with easy access. We enjoyed the perfect wave views from the dining sun room as well as sitting in the living room. The hot tub was fun. The upstairs had the king master with en-suite with tub. Also a half bath. Downstairs hall access bath with standing small shower. This house was cozy and comfortable.
