As if the having the ocean right outside your Fort Bragg getaway wasn't perfect enough, there's even enough space to bring your entire family! This 3,200 square foot beach house sits perched on MacKerricher State Park among dunes and protected nature. It's the perfect site for your next big family reunion or any getaway for everyone! Dogs are also allowed for a small nightly fee.

About four and a half miles north of Fort Bragg proper, this home is in the quiet village of Cleone, giving you easy access to Highway 1 as well as the seclusion you seek in a vacation. Both Lake Cleone, for a serene stroll, and the Purple Rose Mexican Restaurant and Cantina for homestyle food, are a short walk away from your front door. Right outside your getaway are the MacKerricher dunes and trails, a perfect place for a headland hike and a picnic. You can also visit fun and funky Fort Bragg for brunch and a stroll around local boutiques or come for dinner.

As you approach this oceanfront Fort Bragg home, you'll be welcomed by the sea fog and a rustic but well-maintained facade. Greet the rest of your party from one of the two decks as they trickle in. On a clear night, take out the provided telescope and see what you can spy.

On the bottom half of this home, you'll have a spacious den to convene and make plans for the trip (with help from the provided WiFi). Take a moment to write out postcards or record moments in your journal at the desk or watch the big game together on the cable-equipped TV before the new sofa and comfy armchair. Play cards or a board game at the four-seat table before the wall of windows - or you can simply gaze out at the spectacular view beckoning you to comb for pebbles in the sand.

This den also doubles as a room for children to have a sleepover on the sofabed. Two more bedrooms are available on this floor, each with memory foam queen beds.

Upstairs is the living room with brand new furnishings, kitchen, and more bedrooms. The living room has a second TV and sofabed - a perfect room for close friends to have an old-school sleepover if they want! Of course, this space also has huge windows with panoramic views of the ocean.

Make popcorn or even a Sunday dinner around the solid wood table in the fully stocked kitchen. Complete with all new stainless steel appliances, this kitchen provides all that you need. Pop a bottle of local wine to share on the upper deck while the kids play freely on the sprawling yard below.

This property is solar-powered and has a generator, so if the rest of the town is without power, this home will still have electricity and be nice and toasty!

If you've never explored the area, take a mini road trip down the coast for a day trip to Mendocino and Albion, the latter about 20 miles from the home. Since Fort Bragg is definitely the biggest town on the northern coast, you'll have the pleasure of finding little, hidden gems in the smaller towns you find along the drive. Nature walks and farm stands dot the area for a true California experience you can't get in the big cities.

You can't beat the location of this Northern California Coast vacation rental! Come see for yourself how beautiful the area is from your own private getaway!

This home is solar-powered, and it has a backup generator that supplies electricity to the home if the area experiences a power failure.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

magnificent

The location of this house can't be topped. You are only a few minutes to town or a scenic drive up HWY 1. You are only a short walk to the beach right from the front door. You feel as if there is no one else for miles and miles. The views are breathtaking from all the many windows. The house is comfortable with plenty of space for everyone. It is warm and cozy. The hot tub is wonderful. The property manager was available at a moment's notice and very helpful. Our group would go back to this wonderful home many times.

ok stay

The only thing good about this place is the view. Needs fixing: exterior doorknobs, stair gate, patio door screen, ice maker, mold in caulking, hot tub cover broken. Rug underneath table was severely wrinkled! Table bench ready to collapse! Needs deep cleaning: inside kitchen cabinets, louvered doors, light fixtures, bathroom walls around toilets. Seriously-2 kitchen towels!! Start dishwasher before leaving but no soap. Vacuum full besides not working. Hot & cold water reversed in bathroom. 1 trash bag! Fortunately we spent most of our time at the beach.

Great place and location

The house was amazing. The views were perfect. The deer would come outside the fence in the morning. It was awesome to have a Blackstone to use. The hot tub is great. Definitely recommend this home for anybody visiting Fort Bragg.

Great location and views!

The location of this house is outstanding! Set way back on the lot, you can only see two other houses and they are hundreds of yards away. Two story with a wrap around porch up stairs with plenty of seating for the amazing views. Has an automatic gate on the driveway off the road which makes it very secure. If I need a house that sleeps 12 again I’ll surely be back.

Stunning!

We recently had the pleasure of renting a stunning coastal house for a family vacation, and I cannot express enough how perfect our stay was! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the breathtaking ocean view that greeted us. The house was impeccably clean and exceptionally well-stocked with everything we could possibly need, making our stay incredibly comfortable. Traveling with a family of seven can sometimes be challenging, but this spacious home accommodated us with ease. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The attention to detail in maintaining the house was evident, and we appreciated how everything was in perfect order. Having rented more than ten homes in this area over the years, I can confidently say that this was by far the best. The combination of a beautiful location, a well-maintained and stocked home, and exceptional service made this a trip to remember. We look forward to returning to this gem of a home for many more family vacations in the future!

Maintenance

The house was very nice. Kitchen well equipped. But the dishwasher did not work. It was dirty inside it and dishes put away in cabinet also has stuck on food. Called in problem. They sent someone who did nothing. Second call and handyman came and pronounced it broken But this guy fixed the toilet which the first guy broke during his repair try. On leaving we mentioned to the cleaners that dishwasher was broken and they said this has Been an Ongoing Problem. The staff ignored this. Also there were several light fixtures which had burned out bulbs with no replacement available The location is great. The space is great. But someone needs to take care of it better.

Outstanding view/ocean access with lots of space

Hard to believe anywhere else could beat the spectacular views of the coast from here. No real close neighbors, very quiet. Comfortable and plentiful bedding as well as towels for the bathrooms and the hot tub. So much room upstairs and down for a large group. There are some quirks that can be attributed to the age of the place and the need for a bit of tlc. The only real disappointment we had is that twice during our stay pickup trucks came on to the property through the gate (locked by a gate code) without any notice. One was a roofing company truck that pulled in, turned around in the driveway and just left without a word. On another day, a pickup showed up with a man who said he was there to "fix the refrigerator." The refrigerator was working just fine. We had children with us and felt very uncomfortable with these unannounced visits. We reached out to Vacasa, who manages this property, without a single response still, even as I write this the day after our 1/2 week stay.

Older home in a great location. The view is amazing!! Lots of room for the whole family, 12 of us. There were dirty clothes left from the people before us which was not great. The railings on the stairs were wide enough for the kids to fit through, but we improvised and blocked them. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much.
