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!

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.

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.

It was a great rustic retreat, felt very private even tho just off the highway. Kayaking was lots of fun and the beach time was amazing. Bonfires with s'mores made everyone happy. THANKS for letting us stay!

Loved our second stay here

This was our second time staying at this place and we loved it everything about it. Great location with beautiful views, cool rustic feel of the house, and river/beach access using canoe or kayak. Also, close to town (but not too close). :-) We’ll be back for sure!

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!

Amazing and cozy!

Finding the cottage is a bit tricky but once you are there it is so cute and cozy. We had a very relaxing time...a fire pit for fires and s’mores, a sunny patio great for reading and lots of beach and river things to do for the teenagers. I can’t wait to come back!

Relaxing!

This was our third stay at this place and we just love the quiet and private location practically on the beach. The canoe ride on the river is a big plus! The house is pretty rustic, a little tight but very cute and comfortable with beautiful views of the ocean and river. We will be coming 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.

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!
