OCEANFRONT, BEACH & Coastline Views, Large Home, Lots of Windows, Amenities

LOCATION! BAY DREAM is a dramatic oceanfront home with whitewater views of the Pacific Ocean, Caspar Cove, headlands and Caspar Beach located just a few minutes drive north of MENDOCINO VILLAGE.
YOUR MEMORABLE VACATION STARTS IN A MEMORABLE VACATION HOME! Bay Dream is the ultimate home for the total coastal experience. This contemporary home is light, and bright with lots of huge windows to appreciate the ever changing ocean. From BAY DREAM you can walk the trails along the headlands and down to the tide pools, or take a short stroll down to CASPAR BEACH (a 1/2 mile WALK or a 2 minute DRIVE to the SAND ), great for surfing and kayaking. You can rent kayaks and paddle boards at Caspar Beach. You can watch the WHALES migrating, and the SEA LIONS sun themselves from this exclusive peninsula, GATED on a private road where only a handful of homes have been allowed. Free HIGH SPEED INTERNET and great CELL SERVICE for Verizon users and good cell service for most other users.
THE BACK YARD HAS A FENCE BUT CHILDREN SHOULD BE CLOSELY SUPERVISED WHEN OUTSIDE, AS HOUSE IS NEAR THE BLUFF.
With its 5 BEDROOMS (rare for an OCEANFRONT vacation rental) and 2.5+ baths, 6 PERSON upper deck HOT TUB, LARGE, FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN area with abundant seating and all the amenities, BAY DREAM is the ultimate home for larger families or for special friends to experience a Mendocino DREAM Vacation! THE KITCHEN HAS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PREPARE GOURMET MEALS FOR A LARGE GROUP!
One of the unique features of this home is its location CLOSE TO THE BLUFF. The ebb and flow of the tides pass right in front of BAY DREAM giving the house its own natural rhythm, a rhythm that seems to REPLENISH THE SOUL AND SPIRIT of those within. Many guests have commented on this phenomenon over the years along with their remarks of 'We did not want to leave'. Stay a few days at Bay Dream and see for yourself! This open concept, MULTI-LEVEL home with its HUGE windows, decks and large HOT TUB provide endlessly-changing views of breaking waves, A BLOW-HOLE, fishing boats, kayaks, windsurfers, surfers, sunsets, and abundant wildlife! The incredible wildlife entertainment include whales, sea lions, osprey, pelicans, and gulls swimming and soaring up close and personal!
From the LARGE OPEN KITCHEN area you can VIEW the OCEAN with fishing boats, the BAY with kayaks and abalone-divers, and the BEACH with its surfers and paddle boarders; quite an entertaining panorama.
There are BOOGIE BOARDS at the house or rent kayaks, surfboards, etc. at Caspar Beach. A wetsuit is recommended!
For more entertainment on the MAIN FLOOR you have a 58" SMART TV with DVD's, DVR , sound bar, all Direct TV Premium Channels, XBOX ONE, a 3 CD Sony Stereo with MP3 capability, a large portable "ION" speaker/radio/blue tooth system and of course, free HIGH SPEED WIRELESS INTERNET up to 8 devices.

Cozy Stay Watching the Ocean

My husband and I and our late-teen daughter spent mid-week in March. There were a couple of storms, which we loved watching from the many windows of the house, with a fire going in the fireplace. We did the hike to the waterfall in Russian Gulch State Park before the storms started. We also enjoyed the Mendocino Botanical Garden in Fort Bragg. We highly recommend a stay here.

Incredible spot!

Ten of us were in town for a friend’s wedding and the property couldn’t have been better! Right in the cliff, the house has truly incredible views. Aside from the setting, the house is extremely well stocked, has great areas to cook and eat a big meal, and has easy access to amazing trails and downtown Mendocino or Ft Bragg. Even with ten of us, didn’t feel too crowded. Would highly recommend the property and would love to come back!
