Charming craftsman home on 1.1 acres close to town and beautiful beaches
This is a 20 year old custom built home that has the homey architectural feel of the Craftsman style. There are brand-new wood tile floors throughout the main living area and brand new carpet in all bedrooms and upstairs. The two bedrooms upstairs have beautifully lofted ceilings for an open feel. There are plenty of windows so it is light and airy inside. Our home is located about 1 mile southeast of the Hwy 1 and Hwy 20 intersection. This location makes it easy to drive to Ft. Bragg for shopping, beaches and activities if you head north and to Casper, Cabrillo lighthouse and the Village of Mendocino if you turn south. The house has a spacious kitchen and nice open floor plan with a large private patio and BBQ. The patio has plenty of outdoor seating and a table for outdoor dining. The backyard is great for exploring!! The front porch has seating also and is a great place to catch the morning sun. The bedrooms and bathrooms have quality bedding, comforters and towels. We can handle 2-4 more quests ( prefer them to be children) than the 3 beds accommodate - on air mattresses. You must supply the air mattress although there are extra linens for your use (Queen and Twin). Our garage is a private space and is unavailable for use. Home has washer/ dryer and dishwasher. TV/DVD/VCR available, WiFi and a Radio and CD player.Pets are welcome but with consideration of not pet guests we ask that pets stay off of furniture and beds The property is 1.1 acres and fenced (although not to keep a pet in line) It is large and flat with seasonal lawn on 2 sides and a natural area in the back - great for kids to run around. Unfortunately our fireplace is not working at this time The two upstairs bathrooms have large soak tubs. Please be aware that next door to us is a home based business that makes crab pots and fishing nets. It is not a noisy business but there is a bit of auto traffic going to their property
We have enacted rigorous cleaning procedures to keep our renters safe and healthy.

Check in went smoothly, had a couple questions and owner was very helpful, got back to me very quickly, the house was great, clean and well stocked, would love to stay here again
The house and the property were beautiful and very relaxing. Everything was super clean and organized. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could think of. We really enjoyed our stay.
Mara has a beautiful place with a well equipped kitchen and a big backyard. The house is very close to the main street in Fort Bragg and yet it is peaceful and very serene. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to future travelers
We stayed here for a few nights (parents, grandparents, kids and dogs). The home was super clean and comfortable. There were even toys for the kids which was super convenient. The host was super responsive and kind. We have been coming to fort Bragg since we were kids and it was awesome to come with our parents and our kids and keep the tradition alive. It was a perfect weekend, thank you!
Three couples, all senior citizens, came to enjoy the area and visit family. It is the perfect location, private, roomy , lovely outdoor area. The home is well appointed with all the kitchen and bath items, laundry room and parking.
This beautiful and comfortable home has everything you need for the perfect vacation.
The house had nice beds, linens, towels. The kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed the back yard patio. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, yet conveniently located near town.
We love staying at this house! We have stayed here several years with our growing family and what sets this home apart from other homes is the large yard and back patio. We love to spend time outside and even with the rain, we bundled up and played outside. We were pleasantly surprised to find a king bed in the master this year too. Thanks again for a wondrful visit!house apart is the ya
Went for my daughter’s 19th birthday and also happened to be my youngest granddaughter’s first time to the ocean. Mara was wonderful! The house was stocked better than any home we have visited. Great location and close to great beaches and restaurants. We will be back!

This home met all our expectations. It was clean, decorated with original art, well stocked, and situated on a lot that was quiet and very spacious.
This was a very nice home. Accommodations were everything we needed. Our parents with mobility issues stayed in downstairs room and the upstairs rooms were spacious and perfect for what we needed. Communication with host Mara was easy and she helped us throughout our stay. All in all Completely satisfied. Thank you Mara
We had family celebrating my Mother's 95th bday! This was a perfect house for us...Mom in a downstairs room, and the rest upstairs. Very clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated. Large patio and backyard too! We would return when we have another event on the coast.
Mara home is comfortable and cozy. All the beds were like sleeping on clouds. The kitchen had anything and everything you could possibly need.
Beautiful, peaceful property, with a welcoming backyard setting.
This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed here and it’s a beautiful home. Love the floor plan, lots of room for our family of 9. The home sits on a large lot with plenty of room to play games outdoor
s. The back patio has a fire pit and outdoor table and chairs to enjoy the outdoors. Close to the beach. Our family loved staying there.
Great place to land when exploring Fort Bragg. Even came with coffee bean grinder. Appliances are all there including a fire pit. Great home! Great owner!

About the host
Hosted by Mara Welker
Growing up in the central valley town of Davis, a trip to the ocean was a special treat. My Mother loved the beach so we spent many a weekend at different locations. We played - she read. As a kid I never understood how whe could sit and read while we ran around. Lets just say I do now! Upon finishing college I moved to the inland town of Willits, where I raised my children and have now been living there for 37 years.
Why they chose this property
My family purchased this property after our Mothers death as a place for us to gather and enjoy the Sea. With my Moms love of the ocean instilled in us it seemed appropriate to create a family space for us to share that gave us access to good seaside times. This house and property was our choice.
What makes this property unique
The minute we saw this home we knew this was the spot. We love the quiet location, large lot and asthetic look. The old fashioned theme of the home was a draw and we love all the modern ammentitis. It is nice to be near the ocean (about 1 mile) yet still have lots of sun. We also find it handy to be so close to town (approx 1 mile) with all of its markets, stores, and restaurants.
