Shoreline Cottages

We had an amazing stay at the cottages, great location, nice rooms, and loved the hot tub. Thank you !!!

10 AM Checkout time is to early. Construction in the parking lot, noisy and Inconvenient. Hopefully it will be finsihed next time we visit. Other than that it is a great place to stay.

Loved the nodernized heating. Kitchen well equipped. Very clean. Entrance has a lot of large ruts. Would love to see pwerstrip to be able to plug in electronics.

Housekeeping is the only one who comes to the property but leaves by 3:00. The hot tub was disgusting. I was told someone would come to clean it. No one did. The property itself is not taken care of and there are weeds waist high.

Easy contactless check-in, and very conveniently located right off the highway - but we didn’t really notice any road noise once in our room! Everything was clean and the beds and linens were comfy. We would’ve liked to use the hot tub, but it wasn’t clear if it was operational and we couldn’t get ahold of anyone to ask. Overall we were pleased with our stay and would stay again.

Beware! Online photos do not represent reality! The first disappointment was the state of the property. Deep potholes smattering the entry, a bank of unsightly refuge bins at the entry, a field of waist high weedy grasses adjoining an unkempt common social area that itself was weedy and held two suspicious BBQs and an unappealing and filthy firepit that no one in their right mind woud fire-up. The so called "park" in the center of the complex was another field of low growing weeds and potholes and was furnished with about a half dozen picnic tables, two of which were scattered with rocks and dirt and leaves. Some people chose to not pick up after their dogs in this area. The entirity of the landscaping was crowded with weeds and in need of some TLC. As for my "individually decorated" Roses and Ivy Cottage: the cute comforter on the website turned into a dull beige duvet that looked dirty but probably wasn't, there were 4 wall hanging hooks with nothing hanging on them, the whole place smelled of "old wet house" (thank goodness for the ceiling fan), doors and cabinets stuck and peeled due to improperly painted interiors, and the "stainless" kitchen sink area was pitted and blotched with staining. The few positives: the bed and 6 pillows provided were very comfortable, the little wall fireplace/heater was a pleasant surprise, the tiny bathroom was okay for a one person use, road noise was minimal with the windows closed, and, best of all was Maria, the stellar housekeeper.

Went there a lot of times when it had an actual owner. Now it is a corporate owner, and you feel it. Personal touch is gone, which we liked so much. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Not much space to put our belongings. The floor was so cold, so that the fake fireplace had a hard time to warm the room and floor. We loved the fire ring and were sitting there every night before. Now: there is a little wood. That's it. No starter, gasoline, hook for changing the logs, anything. No light outside on the premises, only the 8 lights working on the 10 buildings. Really dark everywhere. Landscaping is not well maintained. Too bad. it was a gem before what we loved. Don't know if we are going back. Had problems with getting the code to the door on time, because of a WIFI outage they said.

The weed whacking at 8am both Saturday and Sunday morning was not the peaceful experience we expected. The outside of the property hasn’t been maintained and needs up keep. It was very impersonal with no front desk person.

The room was set up awesome coffee was great the outside jacuzzi was amazing it was our ninth wedding anniversary The room was clean the back deck was clean did you cuz he was clean outside just an amazing experience

Nice little cabins you can park in a port right by the door. We had a baby with a lot of stuff so it was very convenient.

This is a charming and easy option if you’re in Fort Bragg. It’s a small but comfortable space (we had 2 queens) with easy parking and a great hot tub on site. The room itself was clean, although there was a cloud of drain flies circling when we entered that we quickly escorted out. The beds were older and not very comfortable, but I’ve slept on worse in higher priced hotels. Overall if you need a stay over in the area for a couple of nights, it’s a good option!

Upon arrival we didn’t have the correct code for the lockbox, so we had to call management to get the right code sent. Also, management is not onsite but you’re given a phone number to call. The owner was quick to call back, which was good. Our room smelled musty and more than the usual coastal smell. There was a wet dog/animal urine smell that would occur when you walked past certain parts of the room, there were ants in the room (literal ants on our pants), and mold on the ceiling.

The high standard of cleanliness and decor are outstanding. The kitchen is fully equipped to enable you to cook full meals if you so wish. Communications with host was easy and very efficient, they could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We would highly recommend starting here.

Very comfortable spot for two nights. Clean and comfortable bedding, nice little outdoor private patio space. In room coffee provided which is wonderful.

Disappointing! I stayed at this property before and it was cute and very well maintained. Now, the grounds are in terrible condition, weedy, unkept, and uninviting. Never received a txt with an entry code, had to ask another guest who said we needed to call one of the faded numbers on the office door. I found it was strange there was no manager onsite because clearly the property is neglected. Room 9 has a huge moisture problem, bubbled ceiling and an intolerable mildew smell. Condensation between the window panes never went away. The shower didn't drain and when it finally did there were disgusting orange blobs of something around the drain. I wouldn't use it. No smoke alarm present in the unit which was again, strange. On the positive side the bed was comfy, the towels ample, and the unit was very clean. It seems like housekeeping is the only party doing a good job in keeping the place running. I'm sorry for the bad review but it's honest.

We had difficulty with getting the access code for our room - finally received at the last minute which added stress to our vacation. Appreciated the pet friendly nature but the cottage (#2) was a bit rundown. Although it visually looked clean the most challenging part was very strong smell of mildew in the cottage that didn’t go away even after we tried airing it out. So bad I could taste it and wouldn’t have stayed except was a quick overnight stay on long roadtrip home. The location was okay - not great. The bed was decently comfortable. Several of the remotes need new batteries so not able to work the fireplace. Overall the place had feel of rundown and needing an upgrade!

My wife and I recently spent two nights at Shoreline Cottages in Fort Bragg, and the experience was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, cozy, and well-maintained everything was. The photos on Hotels.com and other booking sites don’t do this place justice, it’s even better in person! The cottage was charming and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, close to the local attractions, making it easy to explore Fort Bragg. We can’t wait to return and would highly recommend Shoreline Cottages to anyone visiting the area. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-kept retreat, this is the place to book!

Very clean and affordable. Everything you need to make our stay comfortable

We love staying here! This will be our third time. Cottages were clean. Pet friendly. Items for your fur baby is given. Our request for early check in is always met. Close to all the beaches and downtown Fort Bragg. Love the fireplace for the cooler nights. Easy access in and out of the property. Mini kitchen w sink, microwave, toaster oven, plates untensils, bowls cups, etc. Provided. Own parking space. We will definitely be back next year.

Cute and very clean cottages, comfortable and convenient with a nicely equipped kitchenette that allows for cooking if desired. The contactless check in is very easy, with code provided for the electronic door lock. Housekeeping staff was very friendly and helpful, providing extra towels and sundries, great job with cleanliness!! Will definitely come again.

I have been coming to Ft. Bragg for over 20 years, and this is the first time staying at Shoreline cottages - not sure why it took me so long, but I'll be back! Safe, clean, cozy, good location. Stayed in the Dolphin Room. The gardens are lovely - great to sit and read or have some wine. There are a few recommendations. 1. The cottage had a musty smell. I bought a candle to burn, and the smell inside the cottage disappeared. The smell did impact the dishes to where I wasn't comfortable using them without washing first. Recommend they leave cabinets open/do something to air out the cottage. Being on the coast, it's not unexpected but should be addressed. 2. The kitchen cabinet doors stuck a bit - for a couple I had to use a knife to pry them open - seems like it could be easily addressed 3. Some throw rugs at the side of the bed would be nice as it was cold in the mornings with bare feet. Recommend staying - if you like luxury, this is not the place. If you want a safe, cozy, reasonably priced place to land, relax, decompress and explore the area, this is the place to be. Dolphin was cottage #1 right by HWY 1 - I took my hearing aids out and it was good. If you're sensitive to noise, book a cottage closer to the back.

Adorable little cottages and the dolphin was great. We'd been on the road 2 months and this was the most comfortable bed of our many hotels! Loved the fireplace and it kept us warm. Even though this one is nearest the highway we didn't hear the traffic. Wish we were staying longer and will be back

We have stayed here before but in one of the bigger rooms which we loved. This time we had a smaller room. Bathroom extremely small. Toilet area is small and would not work if you are a large person. Do not like not having anyone in the office. If you need something you have to call a number and then the drive over and get what you need. They still use no contact Covid era. Kitchen cupboards and drawers are stuck shut. You have to really pull to get them opened. If we stay here again you try room 8, 9, 10 or 11, they ard the bigger rooms

Noisy in the day. Dolphin room is next to the bodyshop next door. Can hear them working on cars lots of banging metal etc.

We had a great stay at this cottage. It was an easy and straightforward check in and check out process. It was clean, with a well-appointed kitchen. The bed and pillows were very comfortable which gave us restful sleep. The cottage is beside the main road but because of the cul-de-sac layout, the road noises were barely audible. There was free parking on a car port attached to the cottage which was safe. The cottage was in a great location. Just a short drive to all the nearby beaches and to the town proper. The humidity in the cottage was a mild issue as the floors in the bathroom and kitchen were constantly moist and therefore might be prone to mold. Overall, a good value for money. We had a great stay and would recommend this place to friends and family.

Shoreline Cottages were adorable and well-maintained, for the most part. I stayed in cabin 10, the “Ocean” cabin. Suitable for 2, but I was there alone. Private patio area was nice, but it only had benches and not comfy chairs for reading. The linens were great, and the furniture was updated. The mattress could use a flip or replace. Nice fireplace but I didn’t use it. There’s very little pressure from the rain head shower so it takes longer than it should to rinse even medium length hair. I would definitely stay here again. Convenient enough to go into Ft Bragg, as well as south for adventures to Little River, Mendocino, or Caspar. No restaurants within walking distance, and if you’re a light sleeper, bring a white noise machine to cover the sound of the highway.

A wonderful weekend away. Nice and simple room with nice light a bathtub and functional kitchen. Extremely comfortable bed! Easy communication with staff via text once checked in. I will come back. More to explore!

We chose the Shoreline Cottages because they were close to a wedding we were attending. The room was far more than we expected. The contactless check-in was seamless. We loved the kitchen was great so we didn't have to eat out every meal.

The location is good and the room was good with a carport to park in. It was quiet other than a little noise from the highway occasionally. The room was clean. The bed was TERRIBLE! The mattress was completely worn out and should have been replaced long ago. The provided shampoo, conditioner and body wash were in mason jars with pumps on them which we did not trust as you could just unscrew the tops and put whatever you wanted in them which didnt seem good as anyone could have contaminated them, so we went and bought travel size containers for ourselves. The shower has very low water pressure and there seemed to be a very small water heater because the hot water ran out about 5 minutes into a shower. All in all it was a good place that could have been great. Ill probably go back if they replace the beds.

The most comfortable bed I have ever slept in while on vacation. Woke up every day feeling refreshed.

We booked the lighthouse room for a beach getaway for our anniversary. We were traveling with our dog so that was one of the reasons we chose Shoreline cottages, when we arrived, we received a text with the code to open our room and we proceeded to open the room, but we found that there was already another person staying in it, and they told us that they would be there for the next two days. We called the office and they told us there was only one room available and we could take it or they would help us find another room somewhere in town. We accepted the room. It was different than the room that we thought we were getting it was much smaller, but it was clean. The office manager told us that they would refund 50% of our stay because of the mixup, we agreed to stay two nights, but we have not been given a refund as of yet the room was clean and functional but very small for two people and a dog. The bed was fairly comfortable and the shower had good water flow. We did bring food with us and woke up the next morning to a lot of ants so we had to throw out all of the food that we brought. We never use the hot tub, but it looked nice.

We arrived to check-in after receiving a confirmation text and instructions for getting into the room (contactless check-in). The keypad was broken, and we spent some time trying to figure it out, but finally messaged our host. They said they knew it was broken and would be fixed in about an hour. Offered a refund at least! We had tickets and a reservation for activities in FB, but had to scramble to find another place to stay. New place was cheaper and nicer so I guess it worked out.

Cute cottages with kitchenettes. Check-in was a little confusing as no one was there, but everything worked out. Nice place to stay. Wished we had time to see more of the area.

We have stayed here MANY times, through a few different ownership groups. The contactless check-in (and all that has gone into renovating to make that happen) is great! Staff were very helpful and accommodating (we needed a pet basket, and they provided it while we were out and about, which was super helpful!). I will say that 10am checkout is a bit early, and not super convenient (considering check-in is 3pm). It used to be later, which allowed us to go to breakfast and then come back to collect out belongings. 10am put us into a little bit of a rush to get out before breakfast since we knew we would not be able to get back by checkout. Otherwise, we highly recommend this location for a stay. We will definitely return!

I love this place so much. If you're looking for a luxurious resort stay with room service, this isn't it. If you're looking for a good location, price, and room with all the essentials stay a weekend, you cannot go wrong with Shoreline Cottages. This was my third time staying here and while some things have changed post covid, they did not disappoint. Thank you Devan and the rest of the team there for my comfy night. I will be back, hopefully soon.

Staff was very helpful. Perfect locatuon n room was adorable. Had booked one night but decided to stay another night. Person on phone said the room i had was not available but the house cleaning would clean next cabin first n move my stuff over for me. Extreme helpful if i had to complain about anything code for door did not work. But hose cleaning got me in n i grabbed key. I would have key in box outside n use a cide to get in that. I like keys but i am old school.

No one is on the property to help out. They initially sent the wrong code to get into the room and there was no response at first to our call. They got back to us fairly quickly, but it was not a good start to our stay. Gas fireplace was supposed to be a feature of the room, but it didn't work with either the remote or the switch. This also meant there was no heat in the room. The bed is ridiculously high--older people would have a hard time getting in and out of it. And the ceiling fan is ridiculously low--kids on the bed could easily reach it and I was able to grab the blades standing on the floor. Seems like a liability. And, "Please Remove Your Shoes" on the front door? This is really annoying. I'm a paying customer, not a guest in your home. I'll remove my shoes when I damn well feel like it. Finally, I just think it's a bad idea to try to run a place with no staff on the premises. At least have someone on site for a few hours around check-in time. Their text says housekeeping staff is there until around 3 pm. If you need something or there's a problem with the room, you're supposed to let someone know before 3. Guess when check-in time is? 3. This doesn't add up.

We loved our stay and will definitely be back. Staff was quick with responses and extremely accommodating. Location is great. Had a great experience bringing our dog with us as well. Honestly couldn't complain about a single thing! Thank you Shoreline!

My boyfriend and I loved this place! We stayed in the seashell cottage and it was the perfect little getaway. So refreshing after staying in hotels to have our own space with a great little kitchen. Location is great for driving to lots of dining and beaches, but I wouldn’t suggest trying to walk as it is right on highway 1. Overall I loved this place and can’t wait to come back!

The cottages were strange. The property was neglected, with no manager on site. The cottage was fairly clean, quiet and it did have a full size fridge and gas range. The door lock keypad was scratched up so badly, that you couldn't read any numbers. It had some really pretty landscaping, but it was all overgrown and full of weeds. The area was a bit sketchy and access was challenging, being on Highway 1. It didn't have the same vibe that it had in the photos. Ha.

Noisy in the day. Dolphin room is next to the bodyshop next door. Can hear them working on cars lots of banging metal etc.

The room had plenty of room and extra perks such as outside tables and chairs. Our room was far enough from the road so I did not hear the cars and trucks in the early morning. We both appreciated the close drive to the Noyo Harbor.

close to the waterfront
