Dog-friendly home with private beach access, hot tub & stunning views

Driftwood Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Enjoy your own cliffside oasis in this Fort Bragg vacation rental with unobstructed ocean views and private gated beach access. This cozy manufactured home offers complete kitchen amenities, a large patio, hot tub, and a million-dollar view for your next hideaway from deadlines, school work, and the daily grind.

The location is phenomenal! It's a mere 14 minutes from fine seafood dining, antique shopping, and The Skunk, a historic passenger train that runs 40 miles along the coast and through redwood forests. A five-minute trip will take you to MacKerricher State Park where you can ride horses, watch for seals and whales, and explore tide pools.

The single-story home is calming with an open floor plan, blue accents, and bright abstract paintings. Large windows create great natural lighting and the ocean can be viewed from almost every room in the home! You'll take refuge in the living room which has two upholstered chairs and a love seat. Cozy up with friends and family to watch a movie on the living room TV or pop in a DVD from the collection. A second living space just off the TV room offers floor-to-ceiling windows, a futon, lounge chair, and a gas fireplace. This is the perfect spot to curl up by the fire on a chilly night and gaze into the beauty of the sea.

Just off the living room is a dining table for four and kitchen with great storage, a coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave, stove, oven and toaster. The 1,200-square-foot home comfortably sleeps six guests and has two full baths. Two bedrooms offer queen beds and windows overlooking the rolling coastal landscape, and a futon allows for flexible sleeping arrangements. A private washer/dryer ensure that you always have clean clothes.

The patio offers a gas grill and is arranged with bright blue Adirondack furniture for both children and adults. The beach is just a stone's throw away! The semi-circle coastline represents Northern California's finest, with giant boulders jutting out into the ocean, a bright green coastline, and waves as far as the eye can see. When the mood is right, slip into the private hot tub and watch the sun set on the blue/gray horizon. Don't forget to pack your gadgets! This lovely rental even offers internet access.

Visit the Sea Glass Museum in Fort Bragg to learn about science and natural artistry, listen to the thunderous crash of waves into the cliffside at Pomo Bluffs Park, or get a double scoop cone at Cowlicks Hand Made Ice Cream.

No matter how you choose to spend your northern California adventure, this Fort Bragg vacation rental has all the modern amenities, and a breathtaking view to make this an unforgettable trip for you and your family!

Beautiful location

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy home. The views were spectacular and it was about a 15 minute drive to town. The thermostat to the fireplace was not functioning and the beds and pillows were pretty uncomfortable, and likely just need to be replaced.

The Perfect Place to unwind

The Location and View are the star attraction for Driftwood cottage. Just a short and safe walk to beach access. Turn left at the bottom of the stairs to wide open beach perfect for a breathtaking walk along the ocean. Or turn right to a family friendly beach. The cottage has everything you need. It may not be top of the range, however enough for a great escape from the hustle of a busy world. We have stayed here three times and hope to visit again.

Close to town but far enough away that you were able to enjoy the peace. Sitting on the deck in the rocking chairs and watching the ocean was awesome.

Weekend getaway

Property is dated, definitely could use remodeling. Despite that, it is immaculately kept. Well stocked with essential kitchen items, towels and bedding. Its on a very large privet lot. The hot tub is awesome and the beach access is great! Only downside was the beds were a little uncomfortable and we couldn't get the gas fireplace in the sun room to work. Otherwise we had a lovely stay. beaches in Nor Cal. Down side, beds could use

a comfy house for a great beach vacation

It is a comfy house for a great beach vacation, within walking distance to a beach that isn't that crowded and we were there over the 4th of July weekend. there are a couple of windows with screens out and we had a sparrow fly in one afternoon. The hot tub had the best view of the beach at sunset. We loved it

Beautiful property

This home is on an amazing piece of property. The location is perfect for enjoying the sights & sounds of the ocean. The home is definitely no frills but gives you the basics & the hot tub was great to hang out in.

Fabulous views! Neighborhood is quiet and the short drive to Fort Bragg is lovely. Private access beach was perfect, even with 85 stairs down, then back up! Home's furnace works well but, it is noisy. Kitchen is well equipped but sadly there is no dishwasher. All in all we enjoyed our stay!

Location is great, But not the house

Beautiful location. First, the beach axis is at the other end of the neighborhood not very close by the house. Secondly, the beds in the house are terrible. The one in the master bedroom was like a torture device so we moved to the spare room which wasn’t much better and, the sheets were full of sand, third the patio outside with the glass is so cloudy you can barely see the ocean. And fourth the Wi-Fi did not work at all I was texting someone about the matter, but was just told to push the reset button on the router. On a positive note, the house heater works well and there is good water pressure that’s about it.

Great place with a great view!

The location of this home is what makes it such a fantastic place. Perched on a bluff above seaside Beach gives you amazing views of the oceans. You could hear the waves crashing from inside the home. The neighborhood is great with a nice 84 step stairwell that takes you to the Sandy Beach without having to get in a car. It's a climb but no trouble for two 60 plus year olds ......

Spectacular view

The house is in a very nice well maintained neighbor hood. The house was clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The bed was quite comfortable. We tried the hot tub, but, the jets were not working, but the water was definitely hot enough. We called the host and they were pleasant and sent out a spa repair person who fixed it. We very much enjoyed the views and the 84 steps to the ocean was very pleasant.

A perfect getaway

We have stayed at Driftwood Cottage 6 times and have already booked next year. We love your home. It is very casual and relaxing. The view from the deck is amazing. We spent every afternoon at the beach and every evening enjoying a glass of wine while we watched the sun set., We really appreciate being able to bring our dog. That makes the trip more fun for us. Thank you!
