Description

Cochito

The Cochito is in a vintage RV park in the historic Noyo Harbor ~


NOTE: If you are bringing pet's , please let us know!
We do charge a fee of seventy five dollars per pet.

Welcome aboard the USCG Cochito. This is the perfect anchorage for
your Mendocino Coast adventure. Make yourself at home! Named after
a ship that owner Stephen Dunlap’s son Emmanuel served on in the
Coast Guard, this large-scale tiny home offers luxurious lodging, access
to outdoor activities, and fantastic amenities.

If you want to stay in, you have entertainment options and two floors
where you can kick back and relax. If you want to set sail, you have easy
access to the beach, restaurants, Noyo Harbor, and the best the
Mendocino Coast has to offer. The water is a short walk from your front
door. (You may even see our local Coast Guard ships passing by.) The
Mendocino Coast has a thriving art and theater scene, award-winning
cuisine, and an abundance of fun expedition opportunities, including
kayaking, biking, and hiking.

When you stay at the Cochito, you’re the skipper, and you set the
course! Whether you prefer hills, redwoods, the ocean, or all of the
above, we have it here. You’ll return from leave relaxed and refreshed –
and ready to come back to the coast again.

The Cochito is situated in Sportsman’s Park in the historic Noyo Harbor,
where we have multiple vacation rentals available, so you can even
enlist the whole crew to come up. You’ll have a blast watching the
fishing boats go out in the morning and come in at night, and the lively
harbor offers plenty of opportunities to go wildlife-watching, strolling,
and reveling.

By the end of your stay, you’ll feel like a local. And, after falling in love
with the coast, you’ll be planning your next trip back here before you
even get home. We’ll see you at the seaside!

Note: The loft in this unit has a bedroom and TV area but the ceilings are very low, about 4 feet high.

Noyo Harbor
Noyo Harbor is an active, fully operational harbor, and is the first such
harbor north of San Francisco Bay. It was first established as a port for
logging and fishing back in the late 1800s.
It’s a great place to take a stroll and check out a historic, working
harbor up close. There is plenty to see and do (and eat). Noyo Harbor is
home to some of the coast’s best restaurants, all within walking
distance of your vacation home, so you have easy access to great food,
refreshing drinks, spirited live music, and more.
The harbor is reminiscent of the famous Cannery Row in Monterey,
with fisheries and a full marina with classic and vintage fishing vessels

of all types. The harbor is a wonderful place for seal-watching,
kayaking, or just sitting back and enjoying the foghorn and the coming
and going of boats.

There have been many classic movies and TV shows filmed here
through the years, including The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are
Coming! (1966), Humanoids from the Deep (1980), Overboard with Kurt
Russell & Goldie Hawn (1987), and the TV series Murder, She Wrote
(1980s).

BEDS
The bed in the downstairs master bedroom features a luxurious top-of-
the-line queen mattress from FloBeds and cushy pillows to accompany
it. The upstairs loft has two beds with super-comfy full-size Tuft n
Needle mattresses. You can rest assured (no pun intended) that when
it is time for bed, you will sleep well each and every night.

ABOUT THE NAME:
The Cochito is named after the second ship Emmanuel Dunlap served
on during his ocean-going days early in his Coast Guard service. The 87’
Cochito ( Marine Protector Class ) performs Search and Rescue
operations along coastal waterways in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Since
then, Emmanuel has raised his rank and training to a more comfy desk
job, currently serving in Boston. The Cochito is dedicated to all those
protecting and saving lives while serving in the United States Coast
Guard.

Dusty
Now let me tell you about Dusty Dillion. One day in the spring of 2017, I
was having lunch next door at Django’s Rough Bar and was telling Dusty

about my new vacation rental business, Pacific Blue. He got off his
stool, grabbed me by the shirt and said “follow me.“ He led me to
Sportsman RV Park. Dusty told me I needed to get some park model
homes and place them around the park for vacation rental purposes. I
thought for a moment and then asked him, “what’s a park model
home?“

Over the summer of 2017, we began placing homes in the
harbor, and we continue the process today. A week before
Thanksgiving in 2017, Dusty was feeling poorly.

2 days later he passed away. A shock for all of us, to be sure. Dusty
is fondly remembered for his wisdom, wit, and love of the harbor.

He is dearly missed!

My recent vacation at Cochito, a US Coast Guard themed tiny home nestled in the heart of the historic Noyo harbor, was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the charming atmosphere and attention to detail that this unique accommodation offered. First and foremost, the location of Cochito couldn't have been better. Situated in the historic Noyo harbor, I was treated to breathtaking views of the shimmering waters and picturesque boats. The soothing sounds of seagulls and gentle waves created a tranquil ambiance that immediately transported me to a place of relaxation. Upon entering the tiny home, I was instantly impressed by the clever design and impeccable craftsmanship. Every inch of the space was utilized efficiently, providing a cozy yet comfortable retreat. The US Coast Guard theme was tastefully incorporated throughout, with delightful decor that paid homage to the area's maritime heritage. The interior of Cochito was thoughtfully appointed with modern amenities, ensuring a hassle-free stay. The kitchenette was equipped with all the essentials, allowing me to prepare meals effortlessly. The comfortable bed provided a restful night's sleep, and the compact bathroom was clean and well-maintained. One of the highlights of my stay was the attention to detail. The owners had clearly put a lot of thought into making guests feel welcome.

We enjoyed our stay! We are Coast Guard veterans and loved the Coast Guard theme. Easy access to restaurants (walking distance) and don't forget to check out the private pier. Very relaxing place with absolutely beautiful sunsets. Parking for 2 vehicles right next to park model. Loft is fun for children. Great communication from Pacific Blue Management. They have several different Park models and campers. Good Wi-Fi and cable channels. We would stay here again.

This is such a cozy little place and with enough space that my family of 6 was more than comfortable. The Noyo Harbor area is beautiful, and the nearby restaurant, The Noyo River Grill was amazing. Best Fish-n-Chips Ive ever had. This spot is in the perfect location to visit all the surrounding beaches, and just a drive away from the Redwoods. My girls had so much fun, and we were able to relax, which for us is 5-stars!

The place is everything it promises to be! Great location on the harbor, a few nice restaurants within walking distance, a lovely pier access deck to watch the sunset. There are also a couple of places to rent kayaks to go up river and get to see the seals and otters up close. The place is perfect for a couple/ small family and was exceptionally clean.

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

So glad we found the Cochito! Really great location in Noyo Harbor; you can walk to all the great seafood restaurants, and easy access to the water if you kayak like we do! The unit itself was just as described! Perfect for our family of three but easily could fit more. The space was sparkling clean, perfectly outfitted and all that one would need for a trip! I was surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was with equipment (full set of pots and pans, kitchen tools, mixing bowls, etc.) which was perfect to cook Thanksgiving dinner! And for a tiny home having a full sized kitchen was really great without compromising on space. We loved our stay and will definitely be coming back!

We had never been up to Noyo Harbor before and I stumbled upon The Cochito online and it looked perfect. We had a family of 4 and it was absolutely perfect for us. It was clean and super cute inside. The huge deck overlooking the harbor was great and we spent a lot of time out there fishing for crab. We cant wait to visit again!

Notes

STUFF THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW

THIS RENTAL IS LOCATED IN AN RV PARK IN THE HARBOR

This rental is located in a classic, old school RV park that have been in the harbor for decades. I personally think that is adds to the rustic harbor experience but there are some who do not like being in an RV park. Please look through all of the photos on this rental so you can get an idea of what the park is like so you can make a personal determination if this is right for you .

IN THE HOUSE
The house binder on the kitchen counter has just about all the information you might possibly need and probably a little more. There are 2 Television sets in the home, one in the living room downstairs and another in the Beanbag room in the loft. The instructions for both TV's are in the binder towards the back for your convenience.

GARBAGE
There are garbage cans for the trailer park at the inside entrance to the park on the left side when looking back from the unit.

VEHICLES
There is room for one vehicle which can park directly beside the unit. If there is need for a second vehicle, please reach out to us so we can try to accommodate if possible. Since the parking is right beside the unit and there are other units close by, please try to be as quiet as possible early in the morning and late at night. Thank you !

PAY ATTENTION AND BE SAFE
Children must be supervised at all times on the wharf. No climbing on the railing at any time for both children and adults
