About this property

This is a 20 year old custom built home that has the homey architectural feel of the Craftsman style. There are brand-new wood tile floors throughout the main living area and brand new carpet in all bedrooms and upstairs. The two bedrooms upstairs have beautifully lofted ceilings for an open feel. There are plenty of windows so it is light and airy inside.
Our home is located about 1 mile southeast of the Hwy 1 and Hwy 20 intersection. This location makes it easy to drive to Ft. Bragg for shopping, beaches and activities if you head north and to Casper, Cabrillo lighthouse and the Village of Mendocino if you turn south.
The house has a spacious kitchen and nice open floor plan with a large private patio and BBQ. The patio has plenty of outdoor seating and a table for outdoor dining. The backyard is great for exploring!! The front porch has seating also and is a great place to catch the morning sun.
The bedrooms and bathrooms have quality bedding, comforters and towels. We can handle 2-4 more quests ( prefer them to be children) than the 3 beds accommodate - on air mattresses. You must supply the air mattress although there are extra linens for your use (Queen and Twin). Our garage is a private space and is unavailable for use. Home has washer/ dryer and dishwasher. TV/DVD/VCR available, WiFi and a Radio and CD player.Pets are welcome but with consideration of not pet guests we ask that pets stay off of furniture and beds
The property is 1.1 acres and fenced (although not to keep a pet in line) It is large and flat with seasonal lawn on 2 sides and a natural area in the back - great for kids to run around.
Unfortunately our fireplace is not working at this time
The two upstairs bathrooms have large soak tubs.
Please be aware that next door to us is a home based business that makes crab pots and fishing nets. It is not a noisy business but there is a bit of auto traffic going to their property

We have enacted rigorous cleaning procedures to keep our renters safe and healthy.

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed here and it’s a beautiful home. Love the floor plan, lots of room for our family of 9. The home sits on a large lot with plenty of room to play games outdoor s. The back patio has a fire pit and outdoor table and chairs to enjoy the outdoors. Close to the beach. Our family loved staying there.

Another Great Family trip!

This is our second stay here. The house is warm, cozy, nicely decorated and really comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, baking pans, and tools for all our cooking and baking. The kids loved playing on the porch too. There is also a large yard and back patio. The location is perfect. Just a short drive to town for coffee or to a beach. Thanks again for sharing your home with us, Mara!

Birthday Trip to Fort Bragg

We surprised my aunt with a birthday trip to Fort Bragg and this house was perfect! The location is amazing, and the house was clean, well stocked and very comfortable. There were only the 3 of us (my aunt, cousin and I) so there was more than enough room. While the house was close to everything we wanted to do, it felt like it was off the beaten path because the area was so quiet and beautiful. I would absolutely stay here again.

Pleasant weekend in Fort Bragg

The house is exquisitely decorated with interesting art and beautiful paint colors on the walls. We did find the lock box challenging (if would be great if it were at eye height rather than requiring us to bend over and attempt to see the codes at an awkward angle) and a more detailed information sheet on where to find kitchen objects would be helpful. Also, the house is definitely not a beach house although that's it's name! However, these are small points. Rooms were lovely, beds very comfortable. Very enjoyable! .

Clean, comfortable and well stocked!

This was the best vacation home we have rented! It’s very family friendly , even with our dogs. The house is centrally located yet still private. We spent a lot of time on the big patio where Grammy did crafts with her 3 granddaughters. At night we used the portable fire pit and had s’mores. It was a great trip and lots of new memories were made. I highly recommend this house, especially for families! Thank you Mara for sharing your lovely property and thanks to Ella for cleaning it!

Exploring Ft. Bragg and Jackson Demonstration State Forest

Great home in great location. Very nice floor plan. Spotless overall. Close to town and ocean, yet very rural setting. Quiet. Wilson and I ran early both days along nearby back roads. Easy drive and access to Jackson Forest. Would stay again next visit.

About the host

Hosted by Mara Welker

Growing up in the central valley town of Davis, a trip to the ocean was a special treat. My Mother loved the beach so we spent many a weekend at different locations. We played - she read. As a kid I never understood how whe could sit and read while we ran around. Lets just say I do now! Upon finishing college I moved to the inland town of Willits, where I raised my children and have now been living there for 37 years.

Why they chose this property

My family purchased this property after our Mothers death as a place for us to gather and enjoy the Sea. With my Moms love of the ocean instilled in us it seemed appropriate to create a family space for us to share that gave us access to good seaside times. This house and property was our choice.

What makes this property unique

The minute we saw this home we knew this was the spot. We love the quiet location, large lot and asthetic look. The old fashioned theme of the home was a draw and we love all the modern ammentitis.
It is nice to be near the ocean (about 1 mile) yet still have lots of sun. We also find it handy to be so close to town (approx 1 mile) with all of its markets, stores, and restaurants.
