This is our second stay here. The house is warm, cozy, nicely decorated and really comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, baking pans, and tools for all our cooking and baking. The kids loved playing on the porch too. There is also a large yard and back patio. The location is perfect. Just a short drive to town for coffee or to a beach. Thanks again for sharing your home with us, Mara!

We love staying at this house! We have stayed here several years with our growing family and what sets this home apart from other homes is the large yard and back patio. We love to spend time outside and even with the rain, we bundled up and played outside. We were pleasantly surprised to find a king bed in the master this year too. Thanks again for a wondrful visit!house apart is the ya

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed here and it’s a beautiful home. Love the floor plan, lots of room for our family of 9. The home sits on a large lot with plenty of room to play games outdoor s. The back patio has a fire pit and outdoor table and chairs to enjoy the outdoors. Close to the beach. Our family loved staying there.

House was clean, cozy, spacious, and supplied with all the necessary essentials. The location was excellent, as it was just off the coastal highway between Fort Bragg and Mendocino. There are several beaches within a few minutes drive as well as shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Communication with Mara was excellent. We would love to return for another stay!

We spent 3 nights at this peaceful oasis just minutes from the botanical gardens and multiple beaches. All 4 generations enjoyed ourselves immensely! It was a mini family reunion to be remembered and this home was perfect. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of room for everybody to relax and rejuvenate. We highly recommend this property for families with children and even the elderly. My 83 year old mom had a blast and enjoyed the downstairs bedroom and bathroom.

Our host Mara was amazing. We all loved this house. It was clear that the host cared for and wanted our stay to be meaningful, clean beautiful home well thought out spaces very inviting and comfortable.It’s the small things that truly make a difference and she nailed it and it was greatly appreciated. House is perfect for family friend couples to enjoy and perfect location to enjoy things in Fort Bragg or Mendocino. They was a book on the table that offered ideas for the area, the Wi-Fi worked great. We didn’t watch TV because the place had several spaces to gather and visit that made the time spent there meaningful. We would highly recommend this beautiful home.

My daughter was getting married in Fort Bragg at another location, and this was a perfect house for myself, Husband, daughter, and her family to escape to for sleep, nourishment, and to get away from the chaos. The house was clean, comfortable and very cozy. Maria was very kind and allowed us to check in early so we can freshen up for a pre wedding event. I would win 100% stay at this property again.

We surprised my aunt with a birthday trip to Fort Bragg and this house was perfect! The location is amazing, and the house was clean, well stocked and very comfortable. There were only the 3 of us (my aunt, cousin and I) so there was more than enough room. While the house was close to everything we wanted to do, it felt like it was off the beaten path because the area was so quiet and beautiful. I would absolutely stay here again.
