Fun tiny home - with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay! It's right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Noyo Harbor with many fun things to do within walking distance. It has a nice "yard" with a fire pit, chairs, and picnic table that really contributes to having enjoyable evenings outside.

Salmon Run is a great place to stay. The location is perfect. It is right next to the Noyo harbor and walking distance to restaurants and the beach. It is clean and cozy. Perfect for couples that want to eat seafood and watch the sunset on the harbor. We thought it would be difficult to sleep with the harbor noise but it's actually very peaceful and quiet at night, and you really can't hear the noise when you are inside. The hosts Pacific Blue made themselves available to us for whatever we needed, but we honestly didn't need anything at all. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back!

San Juan was our home away from home for our Ft Bragg vacation it was just right for our family of 4 plus our fur baby too! It was minutes to everything the beach, shopping and the sights couldnt ask for a better location! Carlon, the host was so nice and very helpful! We will surely be back!

We had a wonderful weekend away in Fort Brag. Truly magical. The house was perfect, the pier was perfect, the crabbing and food were superb. Well be back to beautiful Fort Bragg

Unique and wonderful lodging! It is literally on the water, with gorgeous sunset views, a little private patio with comfy chairs, and a spacious shared deck with picnic tables and grills. The place is cozy, efficient and sparkling clean. Seamless keyless entry. The restaurant next door has amazing food-we loved it.

When we first looked for sites for our family getaway to the area, we were waffling between this house and another nearby cabin. My husband saw the view of the harbor and said, "we need to stay here" and so we did. First, everything was clean and perfectly set up for us. I was worried about the reported ant situation but we did not see any during our stay. My kids LOVED it!!! After checking in, they explored every nook and cranny of the tiny home. "Can we stay here forever?" "I love this place!" We loved the porch where we could sit and eat while enjoying the view. We saw the sea lion(s) swimming around and heard them wish us "good morning" over the weekend. The location is perfect. There were some great seafood places within walking distance. I just wished Django's was still open. Overall, we have no complaints and would definitely recommend it for anyone! The vacationers adjacent to us were super nice also!

Carlon was extremely responsive and super helpful, A+ customer service!

Our family and dog had such a great stay in this home, we will definitely be back again.

This tiny house is a gem! Barely needed our car, we walked to the beach and several restaurants easily since its located right in the harbor. Sunsets were gorgeous and coffee on the deck in the morning with the fog was beautiful. There are a bunch of tiny house is right next to each other too so it would be great to have a big family rent them all! There is even a little area with picnic benches overlooking the harbor right outside your back doors you could all hang out at! Can u tell we might be back with more family lol?!

I want to tell you not to come here, but that would be selfish of me because it would only be to keep this hidden gem for myself! To begin, Carlon is by far the most amazing property manager/human you will ever meet. He will immediately become your best friend. He is so kind and thoughtful and truly goes above and beyond to ensure you are happy and comfortable. From the first communication you will know you are in great hands and you will have the best customer service experience of your life. He genuinely cares! So Carlon, you are the first hidden gem. The tiny house.... just to die for cute! Its everything you could want in a tiny home experience. They have thought of everything! Its impeccably clean, exactly as pictured and actually more space than you think... we are a family of 7- 1 teen 9 year twins and two infants under 2. We did not feel piled in on top of each other in the slightest bit. I wasnt sure about staying in a working harbor, I was afraid it would be rowdy and noisy but this was so peaceful and the perfect setting for that costal experience. Fun fact my all time favorite movie 0verboard with Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn was filmed here in Noyo Harbor! Rent this tiny home! You absolutely will not regret it!

Cochito is AMAZING!!! You will LOVE your stay here! The size was perfect, even for us and our three rambunctious little kids! There was plenty of space to relax and with TVs both upstairs and down the kids could watch what they wanted in the loft while my husband and I relaxed on the couch. There was enough separation to really feel like could do our own thing. And so clean! I didnt feel weird at all about the kids rolling all over the beds, floors and bean bags! And Im the mom that makes them keep their shoes on in a hotel room. The location is super cool! Walking distance to great restaurants, fishing, boat watching, so much sea life and close enough to a rocky little beach great for exploring! Plus the A-frame coffee shop is drive-thru and just minutes away and groceries are just up the hill. We had full days of exploring redwood forests, black sand beaches, dunes and estuaries all within an hours drive. I wish wed stayed another week! There is EVEN MORE we would have done, if we werent socially distancing. We had the greatest pandemic Spring Break/the oldest wanted to turn 7 at the glass beach since he had to forgo a party yet again... anyone could have asked for! Thank you guys again, for such a great place to stay!!! Wait! OMG! The beds!!!!! What are those beds?! So soft! So comfy! You will want to take one home

We had a delightful stay at Pacific Blue! The location wonderful. It is just minutes away from the botanical gardens, and many many beautiful beaches. We spent a day exploring Glass Beach, MacKerricher State Park (with awesome tide pools) and eating at Noyo Fish Company (the best fish and chips Ive had in a long time !). There was a Safeway, Starbucks, and CVS very close by. As for the super cute tiny home, it was very welcoming and easy to access. Carlon provided us with easy directions to get there and made entering the home very easy. Although Blue Pacific is a tiny home, we had everything we needed to feel at home. The home was cozy and well decorated and there was enough space for us to be together when we wanted to be and to retreat to the loft or bedroom when needed. The full kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and there was enough space for 6 to sleep comfortably. My kids were happy with the board games too! There is a cute sitting area and fire pit right outside, as well as a grill. If we could have stayed longer Im sure we would have grilled up some fresh fish which can be bought right at the harbor. There is space for one vehicle, but in case you need space for another, Im sure it can be accommodated if you contact, Carlon. Overall, we had a really great stay! Thank you, Carlon and Pacific Blue!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at this tiny house on Noyo Harbor. Being right on the water, along a working harbor really added to our trip. We enjoyed watching seals, birds, people fishing and boats passing through from the front room and the deck. The house had everything we needed for a mini vacation. (I am slightly obsessed with the tiny home movement so I loved getting to stay in one!)

Exceeded all my expectations! I cant say enough about this place so get ready for a lengthy review. Getting there for us was a bit of a struggle with the windy roads and some carsick kids, but when we arrived at the Elk Meadows house it was truly a sanctuary. Everything was perfectly clean and welcoming to us, and the house was easy to find and get into. The house itself is very airy with a big living area that opens up into the dining area, the couch is so comfortable. I was thankful for the Mendocino area visitors guides on the table, which helped us to plan outings without the use of our phones (no service!), and also they left a tide schedule which was great for planning tide pooling adventures. The kitchen is big with a really nice gas stove, and it truly is fully equipped with all the dishes, pans, baking dishes, tools and utensils you may need. We did bring our own cooking oil and a few spices, but they did have a full spice rack we could have used (no oil though, although we donated the canola oil we bought at the Elk Store to the house, so maybe it will help out some future guests). The bathrooms were sparkling clean with plenty of towels, and little soaps, shampoo and conditioners, just like a hotel but with a homey feel. Yard was big and our kids had fun running around and playing frisbee out there. Plus deer come around the yard at least once a day, so thats a wonderful site. There are neighbors but the street is very quiet, and the property has plenty of space and full landscaping to still provide a lot of privacy. Also the backyard looks directly to a meadow and wooded hills, its such a nice view while having coffee in the morning. Every time I went outside I could just hear birds chirping and other nature sounds, no sounds of traffic or people at all, like our own little world. Location: just a 5 minute walk down a back road to the Elk Store, which was really the only thing in town open when we were there. It was a great spot to grab fresh food (good local meat and ice cream!) and also great sandwiches for lunch. And just across the street is the path down to Greenwood Beach, maybe a 10-15 minute walk down. About 15-20 minutes north is Navarro beach which was our favorite for playing in the waves and sand, while Greenwood was great for exploring and finding cool rocks and shells (and a giant jellyfish!). Less than an hour away from Fort Bragg, where we visited glass beach and explored a little. With the crowds up there it made me very thankful for our quiet spot in Elk, where the beach is either empty or just has a few people. The only thing I didnt love about the house was the TV - it was in an odd spot behind the dining table, and pretty far from the couch. I didnt think we would be watching TV but the truth is, at the end of a long day with kids, sometimes putting on a movie is the only thing to wind them down. So if you need movies be sure to bring your own DVDs as the house doesnt really have any. We did bring our Nintendo Switch and were able to hook it up and play some Mario kart no problem. But otherwise I appreciated the unplugged nature of this vacation.

This place is a beautiful home right on the harbor. The back door literally opens up onto a harbor dock where we were treated to daily spectacular sunsets. The place was really clean when we arrived and everything was in working order. Our 2 young kids loved staying in the loft, enjoyed spotting seals from the harbor deck and generally did not want to leave. The place is within 15 mins of a TON of places to explore and enjoy while youre in the area. We felt it was a unique experience and would def stay there again.

A most relaxing and fun family vacation! Definitely a hidden gem - so serene, scenic and within walking distance to the most delicious shore-to-table seafood dining. Our kids had so much fun in their first RV experience, while my husband thoroughly enjoyed fishing just steps away at the nearby deck (we caught 3 crabs in 2 days!). We definitely plan to visit again.

Emmanuel" might be a tiny house, but the experience we had there was HUGE. Great location, amazing (almost magical) use of space, all-around pleasant surprise right on the harbor in Fort Bragg. My kids and I definitely will be back

My partner and I stayed at Harbor Watch for a birthday weekend, our first weekend getaway since the start of the pandemic. We were looking for a unique place near to our favorite outdoor hikes and parks on the coast, but that also had amenities for staying isolated (kitchen, coffee, take-out nearby, easy check-in), and this cabin turned-out to be exactly what we were looking for. The location bears special mention, as it's right in the middle of an active harbor, with seafood restaurants next door, markets, fishing and charter boat activity, and an accessible deck from the porch with incredible, dramatic views. This was a perfect place for us to relax and venture out to the coast, but fishing and seafood enthusiasts should take special note. We appreciated the attention to cleanliness and the local tips.

The location in Noyo Harbor could not be better. The home was perfect for two couples - small but we wouldn't change a thing. We spent a ton of time on the deck & many great restaurants were within walking distance We absolutely want to come again

The Elk house was such a lovely getaway! It was walking distance to a beach with the most beautiful views. There's no cell service or wifi so it's a great place to unplug. The kitchen is well stocked, especially for making coffee. The house was very clean, which is much appreciated in these times. The location is really nice for being away from the bustle but close to Fort Bragg and lots of hikes/activities in the area.

UNBELIEVABLE!! This tiny home jewel that sits in The Last Resort of the Fort Bragg harbor in an unexpected joy. Beautiful sunsets, quiet streets, lively and lovely restaurants and a 2 minute walk to a beach that is beautiful and dog friendly. We will certainly be back to enjoy this home again in the near future!

Clean, quirky, comfortable tiny home in the eclectic, bustling Noyo Harbor. Walking distance to restaurants in the harbor and a short drive to Fort Bragg and Mendocino towns as well as hiking and sightseeing destinations. Easy check in/check out process and great communication from host.

You cant beat this location in Ft. Bragg, I didn't need to drive for 2 days ( I only drove to hit up my favorite hiking trail). You are within walking distance to great restaurants, a dog friendly beach and a few little markets. The RV lot is so very quiet, safe and everyone waves or says hello. The area is clean and comfortable, I love having a kitchen with everything I need to cook a meal. Nice pots and pans, nice BBQ and all the cooking tools you need. I hope to return soon.
