Beautiful property with niche bathrooms, comfortable beds, and quiet surroundings. Cool weather for August with foggy nights and damp mornings. Sleeps 8 comfortably. The hosts were easy to communicate with and friendly. Having a well stocked kitchen helped meal prep. Easy to get to property and close to all things Fort Bragg.

When we arrived, the host, Trevor, was very welcoming and showed us around the house and the grounds. The house was perfect for our extended family, and we all loved walking outside and down to the beach. The beach was great for the kids and easy to reach.We all enjoyed our stay and would be more than happy to return to Holly's Ocean Meadow.

I'm afraid to tell you how great it was. I want to go back next year! The hostess is great and has a special property next to the Mendocino Botanical Gardens and deserves for others to know about it. Big kitchen and dining area. Tremendous amount of light. Laundry room to take care of kids dirty laundry. Spa tub and outdoor hot tub. There is much more, but suffice to say we got plenty of serenity. Thanks Holly!

Holly and Trevor, we’re lovely. Holly’s tour when we arrived reflected her deep love for her property. It was great to connect with her and hear some of the history. It’s a magnificent property. Our dogs loved the amount of green grass… They just ran and played. The private beach is special. There are four rooms. Two are large and spacious. Two are small, but sufficient. Lots of gathering spaces. The gardens are also spectacular.

Holly's ease and friendliness made the booking process smooth; great communication and access to our host. Her description of the property and check-in were spot on -- and ready for us when we arrived. What a gorgeous, spacious and well equipped property! Everything we needed was available, and the host often checked in to make sure we had what we needed. The beach access and views were breathtaking! We so much enjoyed the patio and hot tub on the back of the property for relaxing and sunning ourselves in the afternoons and evenings. We were stocked with fire wood so we build a lovely fire on the night of the full moon. All the beds were comfortable, bathrooms and kitchen well stocked with working dishwasher; the bathrooms were filled with comfy towels too. The spaciousness of the home gave our family plenty of space for being private or sharing time together. And again, the views of the ocean were splendid! What a great time away. Thank you Holly for sharing your space with us! We enjoyed meeting you too.

Beautiful Property!

We loved the private beach and the tide pools. The owners supplied the wood for our bond fire, and also for the fire pit located by the hot tub. We couldn't get enough of exploring with all of the pretty flowers and statues, there was something to see at every point. Love Love Love, would go back again.

Beautiful property, enjoyed the well kept grounds and spectacular view

Our family of 7 and our little Pomeranian Zorba had a memorable Thanksgiving at Holly’s Meadow. Close to everything. We enjoyed relaxing on the sun room where mom stayed and I especially loved the gas fire place in one of the Master bedroom. Perfect property for a big venue

Fort Bragg with friends

All of us completely enjoyed our stay at your house. I loved the second master bedroom with the magnificent view. A few fished at the cove and one caught a fish. Loved being able to find sea glass on the beach. The house had everything we could want and we plan on returning.
