About this property

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.

House was clean, cozy, spacious, and supplied with all the necessary essentials. The location was excellent, as it was just off the coastal highway between Fort Bragg and Mendocino. There are several beaches within a few minutes drive as well as shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Communication with Mara was excellent. We would love to return for another stay!

Family get away

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!

Birthday Trip to Fort Bragg

We surprised my aunt with a birthday trip to Fort Bragg and this house was perfect! The location is amazing, and the house was clean, well stocked and very comfortable. There were only the 3 of us (my aunt, cousin and I) so there was more than enough room. While the house was close to everything we wanted to do, it felt like it was off the beaten path because the area was so quiet and beautiful. I would absolutely stay here again.

Another Great Family trip!

This is our second stay here. The house is warm, cozy, nicely decorated and really comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, baking pans, and tools for all our cooking and baking. The kids loved playing on the porch too. There is also a large yard and back patio. The location is perfect. Just a short drive to town for coffee or to a beach. Thanks again for sharing your home with us, Mara!

Clean, comfortable and well stocked!

This was the best vacation home we have rented! It’s very family friendly , even with our dogs. The house is centrally located yet still private. We spent a lot of time on the big patio where Grammy did crafts with her 3 granddaughters. At night we used the portable fire pit and had s’mores. It was a great trip and lots of new memories were made. I highly recommend this house, especially for families! Thank you Mara for sharing your lovely property and thanks to Ella for cleaning it!

Pleasant weekend in Fort Bragg

The house is exquisitely decorated with interesting art and beautiful paint colors on the walls. We did find the lock box challenging (if would be great if it were at eye height rather than requiring us to bend over and attempt to see the codes at an awkward angle) and a more detailed information sheet on where to find kitchen objects would be helpful. Also, the house is definitely not a beach house although that's it's name! However, these are small points. Rooms were lovely, beds very comfortable. Very enjoyable! .

Charming Craftsman

Our host Mara was amazing. We all loved this house. It was clear that the host cared for and wanted our stay to be meaningful, clean beautiful home well thought out spaces very inviting and comfortable.It’s the small things that truly make a difference and she nailed it and it was greatly appreciated. House is perfect for family friend couples to enjoy and perfect location to enjoy things in Fort Bragg or Mendocino. They was a book on the table that offered ideas for the area, the Wi-Fi worked great. We didn’t watch TV because the place had several spaces to gather and visit that made the time spent there meaningful. We would highly recommend this beautiful home.

Warm and Cozy House

My daughter was getting married in Fort Bragg at another location, and this was a perfect house for myself, Husband, daughter, and her family to escape to for sleep, nourishment, and to get away from the chaos. The house was clean, comfortable and very cozy. Maria was very kind and allowed us to check in early so we can freshen up for a pre wedding event. I would win 100% stay at this property again.

Wonderful getaway with all the comforts of home

We spent 3 nights at this peaceful oasis just minutes from the botanical gardens and multiple beaches. All 4 generations enjoyed ourselves immensely! It was a mini family reunion to be remembered and this home was perfect. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of room for everybody to relax and rejuvenate. We highly recommend this property for families with children and even the elderly. My 83 year old mom had a blast and enjoyed the downstairs bedroom and bathroom.

Annual Trip

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

Wonderful stay

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!

About the host

Hosted by Mara Welker

Host profile image
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.
