Spectacular Oceanfront with Ocean, River And Sand Dune Views!

We have a drop dead gorgeous view with a two bedroom bluff side rustic quirky cottage available with ocean, river and sand dune views from every room. Right out your front door there is private stair access to your very own boat house on the Ten Mile River. This river is a nature preserve that can be enjoyed by kayaks or canoe that will take you up river where wild life abounds or to the ocean where the seals, crabs and birds will provide many hours of enjoyment.
Bring your bikes, binoculars, swim suits and a good pair of walking shoes or just a good book!
This gem comes with a deck, small barbeque, comfortable rustic furnishings, flat screen TV with Blu-ray DVD and portable sound system (satellite radio). There is Wi-Fi giving you access to e-mail and the internet. There is a private bedroom with a queen-size bed and a spectacular sleeping alcove with floor to ceiling ocean views containing a second queen-size bed. Of course there is a full bath and fully equipped kitchen.
We call this treasure Seaside Serenity and it is about ten to fifteen minutes from Fort Bragg, close enough to enjoy great food and shopping yet far enough to provide total relaxation. Walk on the beach or through the dunes, be mesmerized by the waves or just lay on the deck with your favorite novel.
Well behaved dogs are welcomed and they are subject to a $100 one time pet fee. There is also a $125 cleaning charge per stay. We require a minimum three night stay for weekends and two nights during the week. If you want something special just ask!

What's nearby

  • Glass Beach is a beach in MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg, California, that is abundant in sea glass created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline near the northern part of the town. Once upon a time the sand was coated in brightly colored bits of sea glass, and social media is full of photos that make it look as if the sand still looks that way, but that isn't the case. Over the years the public has raided the beach of much of its glass. Now at first look, some might say it looks like any other ordinary beach. Yes you can still find glass here, but you have to look for it, and most of colored glass is long gone. It all makes for a fun little treasure hunt however! What I love most about the Glass Beach is its dramatic coastline that lends to extraordinary photos right on the ocean, like this one! #wheretoexplorenext #thebestisyettocome #adventure #getlost #optoutside #getoutdoors #naturelovers #nature #adventureculture #explore #exploremore #keepexploring #wildandfree #wildernessculture #travel #travelstoke #roamtheplanet #wanderlust #travellife #travelgram #letsgosomewhere #mytinyatlas #stayandwander #wandermore #adventureawaits #liveyouradventure #discoverearth #sheisnotlost #iamatraveler

Fabulous again!

This is our second time at this wonderful cottage. This time we brought our family with us and they loved it as much as we do. It has everything we need, kayaking right from the cottage boat house, beautiful views of the ocean the river, outdoor fire pit, cornhole, outdoor barbecue, comfortable beds and couch. Lots of books to read and games to play and DVDs to watch. It’s a great place to have some downtime and quality time with your family and create priceless memories. What mortgage could you ask for! And the owners are great! We can’t wait to come back!

Great Getaway

First you can't beat the Northern Cal Pacific Ocean, then the proximity of Fort Bragg with great restaurants and places to walk around, but still not so close that you are pestered. It really is perfectly located. Homey, everything you need.

magical spot

perfect for us. rustic. comfortable beds. could use some water system TLC (sulfur is harmless but strong in all tap water for bathing). couldn't get the wifi to work, but it's Mendocino County, and we are mostly intentionally disconnected and/or outside all day. the outside space here at the property is great, even if you go nowhere and just decide to steep in the gorgeous views. we'll be back!

Coastal Beauty

This was a repeat visit to one of the most beautiful spots we have stayed. Amazing location where a river estuary meets the Pacific. Views from multiple spots on the property and from the cabin are breathtaking. Bald Eagles were a special treat this visit. Kayaking the estuary, beach walks, and just soaking in the setting.

This is my second stay in this home. It’s cozy and peaceful and perfect for our needs. I saw bald eagles and otters again and made some more wonderful memories. Cathy the owner is very kind and easy to communicate with. The home has amenities I don’t usually find in other short term rentals and the fresh eggs were a lovely treat. We will be back for sure!

Isolated relaxation

Wonderful site overlooking the Pacific dunes and ocean. Many places to sit and absorb the view including a fire pit that we used every night. The internet wifi connection was out the entire time but the owner tried hard to rectify. Because of spotty cell service it was hard to get on the net. Despite this, it was a great site to relax and enjoy the isolation. Although we did not use the kayaks, they were convenient to the waters of the estuary and would be a great way to explore.

Definition of a hidden gem

What an amazing cottage! We had a wonderful vacation in this house. The house is quaint, cute, quirky awesome, and fun. The views are to die for, the house feels unique and so conducive to reading, relaxing, doing yoga on the deck etc. We loved exploring Jackson Demo State Forrest, kayaking to the beach, hiking nearby bluffs, exploring Fort Bragg.

My brother's birthday

This was such a perfect place to celebrate my brother's 80th birthday. When we walked through the gate we all made celebratory sounds because of the amazing sunset view over the river and ocean. We sat outside and just relaxed after a long drive. The cabin is comforting and reminded my brother and I of a much loved place we stayed in when we were children.
