About this property

The Fish House - Midcentury Modern - Walk to Beach

Comfortable home with 1956 charm, but remodeled with all new windows, tile floors and carpet. The kitchen is basic yet functional and still has its original pink and brown tile. Two bedrooms have queen sized beds and the den has a double sized foldout sofa. The third bedroom has a twin sized bed. There are two bathrooms, one with the original yellow tile from 1956 which has been refreshed, and the other has been totally remodeled with a tiled walk-in shower. Set on over four acres, this home has a large yard with deer and birds to view. There is a blue water ocean view from the deck, and the beach is a quick 10 minute walk away. MacKerricher State Park sits between this home and the ocean. This is a great place for families with kids or for couples to share.

Perfect

This was my second stay at Fish House after a brief one in February, and it was just as wonderful (even better without the February rain). Peacefull, quiet, comfortable, very clean and well-maintained, gorgeous green yard set in natural surroundings abutting McKerracher State Park, QUIET neighborhood, easy walks to the ocean, expansive views and sunsets from the deck, well stocked kitchen, all appliances working perfectly, modern upgrades like gas fireplace insert and big-screen smart TV with Direct TV, beautiful and historically interesting interior, etc. All of this along with exceptionally generous and responsive owners. “I’ll be back.”

Loved it.

Nice yard for kids and dogs. Great deck off the back and good view of the ocean. You can hear the waves in the evening. I liked the house because it is older but remodeled nicely. Very comfortable. A nice quiet neighborhood also. Good place to take a walk. Very close to old 10 Mile road on the ocean. You can walk on the beach.

all round great house

Perfect for our needs, clean, spacious (easy for my wife to maneuver with her walker), secluded and quiet, and a great yard for the dog to run in! And close to our favorite walk along the coast. Our best rental yet in Fort Bragg after many years. Not to mention the era of the house brought back fond memories of my childhood. We will return.

Perfect Getaway

We have stayed here before and vowed to come back. The house, yard and location is just perfect for us and our pups! Not only do we love to explore the beaches and surrounding area but grabbing take out and watching a movie is just as fun. The house is clean and everything is clearly labeled. It is comfortable and warm! The yard could not be more perfect for hours of fetch not to mention the sound of the waves in the background! We love it here and will be back again!

The perfect place

For me, this was the perfect place in every way. Beautiful house, inside and out, a well-stocked and functional kitchen, super comfortable bed, wonderful views out back, great deck to hang out on with morning coffee or evening wine, very quiet neighborhood, lots of space, well-done upgrades like double-pane windows throughout (makes a huge difference), natural gas fireplace insert, whole-house heating with responsive thermostat, smart TV with Direct TV (I watched the Superbowl in great comfort--it even took the sting out of the game's outcome :-), modern washer and dryer, adaquate hot water, etc, etc. The loving care the owners have put into this house over the years is obvious in every room. It was one of the most delightful and peaceful stays I've ever had on the California coast (and I've stayed in quite a few). I was equally impressed with the responsiveness and kindness of the owners. I'm really looking forward to coming back for another stay in the near future.

Birthday Celebration!!

What a private and peaceful location. House is very welcoming with everything you need. Beds were very comfortable. Books in every room. So much history throughout the house. Beautiful views and you can even watch the ocean from the deck or walk to the ocean in about 10-12 minutes. Huge yard with plenty of room. Pet friendly. Will definitely be back.

Peace and absolute beauty

The Fish House is so special! It is located just north of Fort Bragg in a quiet neighborhood. The view from most of the rooms is the woods and the ocean beyond. We spent plenty of time on the deck, listening to the waves crash. There are many things that make this house a home. We enjoyed the library of books on a variety of subjects, the games provided, the comfortable furniture and the well equipped kitchen. The grounds of the property are spectacular, as this house sits on a few acres. A beach is nearby, within easy walking distance. Do NOT hesitate to rent this house if you're looking for a peaceful break. This is a special place!

Fish House Family Lodging

This home in a quiet neighborhood has a view of State Park grounds from the living area and three of the bedrooms. A house with interesting history, evident in the art collection and the large library. The yard has a large, sheltered grassy area great for kids play. We rented it as additional space for a family weekend at my Mom's house down the street. The grandkids loved riding their bikes back and forth.

About the host

Hosted by Marilyn Anderson

My husband and I recently retired to Fort Bragg, my husband's home town. He grew up in this house, and after his mother passed away, we decided to keep it in the family and use it as an extra home for when family visits and also as a vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

This home has been owned by my husband's family since 1959, and we are pretty attached to it and want to honor its history. It is a very comfortable home which holds many wonderful memories.

What makes this property unique

This home has lots of charm with its redwood ceilings, beams and lots of paneling. The setting is quiet and woodsy, but it is still easy to run into Fort Bragg to shop and eat.
