One of my favorite stays. Amazing location! An easy 5 minute walk to the beach and some wonderful coastal trails. Was walking distance to both Glass Beach (south) and also Laguna Point (north). Both were less than a 30 minute walk from the house. Saw amazing sunsets from the beaches the entire time we were there. Pudding Creek beach was the best beach with our dog. If you enjoy biking definitely bring your bike because there is a bike and walking only road that goes along the entire MacKerricher Park coastline. Very quick drive to downtown Fort Bragg if you need anything. The house was perfect for our family and dog. House feels bigger than it is because of the high ceilings and open living space. Super clean and beds were comfortable. The outdoor patio was private. Could hear road noise on patio but not from inside. A binder of recommendations and instructions were provided. Saw deer, a jack rabbit and a small fox while walking to the beach or sitting around the fire pit.

The team was great. We needed more fresh shower towels one day and they quickly got them to us.

We had a great time staying at the Boat House. The owner, Carlon, was very accommodating and prompt to any questions/requests we had. The place had all the amenities needed and being able to step out the front door to the harbor was awesome. Definitely recommend this place and we'll be back!

The Boat House offers a truly serene & tranquil experience. I loved the sound of the ocean, & the mesmerizing view. The convenience of so many restaurants nearby to make food options at our fingertips (make sure to check their hours!) was the cherry on top! We went from chasing the sunset at the pier to relaxing on Caspar Beach to unwind. We couldn't resist the hike to the stunning waterfall nearby, which lived up to the hype- a must-see! Once you get there, it may be cold, but jump in; you won't regret it! At night I would sit out on the dock and stargaze; it was so peaceful. Our family had an incredible trip full of making memories and a ton of laughter! The employees all responded quickly to address any inquiries or concerns. Sherry is excellent & super helpful! Thank you all for helping us to have a memorable vacation.

We had a wonderful stay at the Pacific Blue! It has even inspired me to looking into a home like this of my own. The home was extremely clean. It has everything you could possibly need from kitchen utensils to a checkers game. It is located within walking distance to many great restaurants. If our travels take us back to Fort Bragg, I will definitely try to stay at the Pacific Blue again.

I loved this place! The house was very clean! The beds were comfortable, and the linens were very soft. It was the perfect size and had everything we needed to cook. We were able to have a fire at the wonderful fire pit. The private pathway down to the ocean was such a splendid surprise. This house was perfect in every way!

We enjoyed our stay very much. We were traveling with 3 teenagers and they felt comfortable. Plenty of room to run around outside, great games in the garage like ping pong and foos ball. Board games and cards too. We used it all! Roasted marshmallows at the fire pit and didnt have to travel more than 30 miles to see it all. The house is right at the State park and walkable. Although, it is a trek. Walked down there twice though. Everything was clean and very well stocked. Kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were stocked with linens and normal use stuff.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay. The location is perfect. Its at the entrance to the state park which has a beautiful beach and boardwalk. We werent actually at the house very much because there was so much to do. There are so many beautiful beaches nearby, fun shopping and restaurants in town, and Ricochet Ranch right across the street. We spent our time doing a beach trail ride, walking/hiking, checking out the tide pools, kayaking, shopping, etc. This house provided the perfect home base. The house was clean, had more than enough clean towels for the entire stay, and a fun game room too!

The pictures online undersold this rental, we loved it! The view from upstairs was amazing! We loved watching the boats come and go and the two sea lions swim around. The house was very comfortable and had all the amentities. We also enjoyed the dock. The fireworks could be seen from the upstairs livingroom which made it perfect for avoiding the traffic and people. The location was great as well. We walked to Silvers on the Warf one night and to the Noyo Fish Company another night. We would definitely return here again.

We had a wonderful stay with our young toddler and dog. We enjoyed the large deck, the fire pit, the sun room/bar that opens up to the deck, and our dog had fun roaming around the spacious fenced in yard. The house is neat and cute and very comfortable. The location is close to town and perfect for taking the skunk train. Would stay here again next time we visit Fort Bragg.

My family had such a wonderful time staying at the Crab Shack last weekend. It could not have been easier to find parking and get inside that adorable little home. Beside the fun decorations I was please to find a well equipped kitchen, full size bathroom/shower and super comfy beds. My granddaughter enjoyed the huge space in the loft to play around and watch the big TV. The harbor is such a great place to get away, eat well and relax. Im already looking forward to our next stay! -

Wonderful place, ideally located near Fort Bragg and the town of Mendocino. Jug handle beach and Russian Gulch State Park are within a few minutes drive. Lots of hikes and serene beaches within driving distance. Great food in the vicinity and in towns like Booneville. Fully equipped kitchen. Lots of space to spread out in the main house and the barn. The house was very thoughtfully prepared, and we enjoyed our stay very much. Glad we stayed here!

We had so much fun staying here. After getting settled, we felt like we could actually relax because of the welcoming environment. The property was beautiful and there was tons of wildlife nearby to enjoy (deer and birds). It was definitely kid friendly and had a lot for all of the kids to do (ranging from 4 to 12 in age). The kitchen was well stocked and there were tons of bedding, as well as towels. We definitely want to stay here again

This house is an absolute dream! The interior of the house is comfortable and pristine! So clean! High quality linens, comfortable furniture loads of extras (great, we'll equipped kitchen, quality soaps, etc). We tried a bunch of their recommended restaurants and activities and they were 100% spot on. The best thing, though, if all that isn't enough? The location. The lovely walk to the beach, the family of deer that visited us every evening, the family of turkeys that stopped by, all the birds, the gorgeous flowers.... peaceful perfection. We didn't want to leave.

I am nervous to give such a good review in fear that it will always be booked!!! We have had dozens of vacation rentals over the years and this has been our absolute favorite!!! The barn is an incredible hang out spot for our teens, younger kids and the adults. Theres about 6 places to have good hang out times all over the property. Theres a hose by the entrance to help with sand, and a bathroom with every bedroom!!! The jacuzzis were amazing and I have to say this has been the only vacation rental where nobody had any complaints. We had 11 people ranging from 8 years old to 66 years old. Everyone enjoyed the ocean views every morning and evening. The jacuzzis were such a special test after the cold ocean waves. This by far has been the most special vacation our family has had. We have stayed at plenty of rentals over the yearswell over 40 and this place shines the brightest. The location is the best, the property is so warm and inviting and decorated with the coolest ocean art.

We had a delightful time at this tranquil and beautiful home during our weekend getaway. Our stay was enjoyable, and we truly appreciated the peaceful atmosphere.

I had a nice much needed vacation on the Mendocino coast I stayed in the Cowabunga! Surprisingly the hid a bed was comfy I slept well! The heater worked well the outside furniture was comfy and relaxing listen to the waves at night and fog horn! I can't wait to stay in the Cowabunga again next month as we already planned our next trip
