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!

Love this spot!
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!

Grooving with Nature at it's finest
Rustic luxury for us - we love being close to nature and far from the crowds. It's a bit like glamping, but with more amenities.

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.

Amazing Location
The location of the property is amazing! The boat house and kayaks were a blast. The fire pit, deck, chairs and grounds are second to none and my family loved it all. Inside the house is a little too “rustic” for my taste. Needed to be cleaned better and there were a lot of mice droppings in every crevice. There was a lot of leftover food and condiments in the fridge/pantry and the mice are definitely eating those. I would recommend removing everything and doing a deep clean. As noticed by several people the water had a sulfur smell. It makes taking a shower very hard to stomach. If it were my rental I would look into and fix this asap. My family and loved the property and the location. We won’t return unless it is throughly cleaned and the water doesn’t smell bad. Thanks!! Kevin

Great location and view
The location is great for viewing and being immersed in nature. Clear river and water views around the home. We really enjoyed the various kayaks on the river and there were many animals to observe up river. The firepit was ideal for warming up and viewing the sunset and water. The house shows wear but we didn't mind since the environment was so welcoming. The host was excellent to deal with and provided a full list of using the home and water toys.

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. We had such a wonderful time!
