Oceanfront Haven: Hot Tub & Private Beach Access

Summary:

Shell Seeker

Host all your friends or bring the whole family, sleeps 14 - to this five-bedroom dream home with its open floor plan within walking distance to one of the most popular beaches on the Mendocino Coast. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide incredible views. Shell Seeker enjoys private access to Seaside Beach just steps away and known for abundant sand dollars.



The Space:

This solar powered one-level home has a fresh bright feel, while letting the beauty of the ocean speak for itself. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide incredible panoramic views of the ocean, beach, mountains and forest. The large living room has amazing views and is open and inviting with a giant sectional sofa, gas fireplace, big screen TV and is connected to the large open kitchen and dining area, table seating for eight. The 14-foot kitchen island means there's enough space for everyone with seating for six additional people on the bar stools while the cook gets to participate in the fun.



There is plenty of room for all to congregate and spread out. The enormous deck wraps around the entire backside of the house, and there's a table overlooking the beach perfect for dinner while catching the sunset or just sitting on the Adirondack chairs and watching the waves roll in. Soak in the private hot tub overlooking the beach and enjoy panoramic views. Shell Seeker is a great place to relax and as our guests' reviews say – the view and location is stunning!



There are two main bedrooms on opposite ends of the house with fantastic views from the floor-to-ceiling windows and queen size beds. Two of the other bedrooms also have ocean views and queen-size beds with another bedroom having two twin beds that the kids will love. Three additional sofa beds provide extra sleeping spaces. Shell Seeker has central heat too! There's also a popular game room with Ping-Pong and Foosball tables to satisfy your competitive edge, or just relax and play one of the many puzzles or card and board games available. Shell Seeker offers satellite cable TV and DVDs to keep everyone entertained when the sun sets on another wonderful day at the beach. Shell Seeker also has StarLink High Speed Internet, perfect for streaming, Zoom Meetings, and social media.



The Neighborhood:

MacKerricher Beach State Park, Ten Mile Beach with horseback riding, seal and whale watching, tide pooling, hiking and more are a short drive south. Enjoy whale watching at our favorite Pacific Star Winery located on the ocean bluffs three miles north. The heart of downtown Fort Bragg is just nine miles south, where you can take a scenic ride on the Skunk Train through the redwoods, tour the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens or enjoy seafood dining and shopping. Nine miles further south is the charming village of Mendocino offering many shops, restaurants and art galleries.

Lovely house, beautiful location, comfortable beds, ok stocked kitchen. Bathroom - had nice shampoos and body wash. Only one refrigerator, so limited space for large groups. Bring ice chest for drinks. Limited house hold supplies, we only had 2 rolls of paper towels for 10 people for 5 days. Maybe 8 laundry pods, and dryer sheets, No cleaning products, or bathroom air freshener/ Febreze. We ran out of trash bags, Game room is nice, needs better lighting. Smells musty. Beautiful view! Short walk to beach!

The Best Ever!

I'm not sure I can summarize. It was amazing!! The house was beautiful and perfect for my family of 10. It was sparkling when we arrived. The view was fantastic! We had a bit of an issue with the number lock, but help was immediate, caring, and effective. We can't wait to stay there again!!

The house is a perfect Fort Bragg retreat for a large family. It’s located in a quiet kids friendly neighborhood with direct access to a beautiful beach. It’s well maintained and clean. And views are even better than on the pictures.
