About this property

Serendipity - with Ocean Views and Beach Access

Serendipity is a fantastic 3+bedroom vacation rental along the ocean, the beach, and the 10-Mile River north of Fort Bragg. The spacious home offers lots of room to roam with a king primary full bath (includes 2 twin beds in a trundle), 2 queen bedrooms, with bathrooms, and an alcove bedroom with a queen bed. An additional cottage with a king and a queen sofa sleeper with a half bath to sleep up to 14 people in total. But there’s more - a fun-filled game room, a fully equipped stainless-steel kitchen, and a private hot tub making it the perfect setting for your next family reunion or holiday gathering! The home is ideally located across the street from beach access (at 10 Mile River & Seaside Beach), just five minutes away from whale watching and collecting sea shells at MacKerricher State Park, 14 minutes to antique shopping and restaurants in Fort Bragg, and if you want to stretch it a bit, just another 8 minutes down the road to Mendocino.
The home will instantly relax you with heated tile flooring, a gas fireplace, and a large sectional sofa. A stained glass window depicting life undersea becomes the beautiful focal point of the open-concept living room. The carved-wood media center offers flat-screen cable TV, CD player, DVD library and player.
Kitchen accessories include a dishwasher, French door refrigerator w/ice maker, double sink, ovens, and glass stove top. The kitchen island will keep you from brushing elbows while preparing the big meal, and two bar stools around the island for relaxing and visiting with the chefs of your group. The early risers can enjoy a large pub-style table with 4 chairs next to large picture windows to view the outdoor wildlife. Just off the living area are a formal dining room and table for ten. The garage has been set up as a game room, offering a wood table for four to deal out a game of Texas Hold 'Em, a foosball table, a ping-pong table, and plenty of storage space for your beach bags and mountain bikes. When game time's over, lounge outside in patio furniture on the deck or in the private hot tub. The charcoal grill and hot tub will allow you to keep the fun outdoors and take advantage of the fresh ocean air.

Although Serendipity is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 2.

Wonderful Visit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was amazing and huge. Plenty of room for a large group with no one tripping over each other. The beds are super comfortable and the pillows were awesome. Every detail including the personalized welcome letter, dog biscuits, and Happy Birthday sign on the window was very sweet and made the trip very special. The Management company was very responsive with any questions and needs. Do not expect any ocean views. You could see slivers of the ocean between the trees and houses. The trail to the beach has a steep staircase so I would not let small kids go by themselves.

Charry’s bday

When we got there, the place was very clean , towels and other amenities ready. My sister who had the bday was touch by the sign that they put on the windows and flowers on the table. Just few comments to make other guest more comfortable… Light fixtures some not working Window screens torn Toilet have to be checked every now and then for clogged drainages. Sliding doors need to be oiled hard to open and close. The access on the beach is a great way to enjoy the beautiful sand and water… Thank you for the great experience…. Lizza

Annual family Summer

This was our second time staying at Serendipity and even with three more people it was a wonderful relaxing stay. We are so grateful to be able to enjoy one another in such a beautiful place on the coast. Amazing view, steps to the beach, and so close to town.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice quiet location near the ocean. Good beach access. 84 concrete steps to the beach. House was in good shape. The ocean view is a little limited. The house was quite adequate for 4 couples with each room having at least a toilet and sink. We stayed the 3 days on the property playing games and walking. We would consider staying here again.

A Truly Outstanding Home and Location for Our Chorus Retreat!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a totally delightful space for a group of singers! The acoustics in the dining room and the living room / kitchen are excellent. We filled the days with lots of wonderful music. This very tidy, spacious home met our needs beautifully. We even had places for some hand craft projects. It was such fun for our "mature" group to play ping-pong, and the hot tub soaks were so relaxing. Many of us took walks down the nearby staircase to Seaside Beach where we explored picturesque Whale Rock and other interesting ocean features. Communication with our hosts before, during, and after our stay was genuinely kind and most helpful. We had a few minor issues with appliances, but it didn't damper the spirit of a most enjoyable stay. We are filled with gratitude for the privilege of experiencing this lovely place on our California coast.

Amazing family gathering place 🥰

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Serendipity for three days in October. Our daughter was getting married nearby and we wanted a place that would hold the whole family. We loved the house and the location. The grandkids played for hours in the game room and many of us enjoyed the hot tub. Beach access is across the street and down many stairs. Once you make it down the beach is beautiful and private. If you walk one way you find a huge river the other way is Sand Dollar beach. It was a wonderful weekend!
