Serendipity is a fantastic 3+bedroom vacation rental along the ocean, the beach, and the 10-Mile River north of Fort Bragg. The spacious home offers lots of room to roam with a king primary full bath (includes 2 twin beds in a trundle), 2 queen bedrooms, with bathrooms, and an alcove bedroom with a queen bed. An additional cottage with a king and a queen sofa sleeper with a half bath to sleep up to 14 people in total. But there’s more - a fun-filled game room, a fully equipped stainless-steel kitchen, and a private hot tub making it the perfect setting for your next family reunion or holiday gathering! The home is ideally located across the street from beach access (at 10 Mile River & Seaside Beach), just five minutes away from whale watching and collecting sea shells at MacKerricher State Park, 14 minutes to antique shopping and restaurants in Fort Bragg, and if you want to stretch it a bit, just another 8 minutes down the road to Mendocino. The home will instantly relax you with heated tile flooring, a gas fireplace, and a large sectional sofa. A stained glass window depicting life undersea becomes the beautiful focal point of the open-concept living room. The carved-wood media center offers flat-screen cable TV, CD player, DVD library and player. Kitchen accessories include a dishwasher, French door refrigerator w/ice maker, double sink, ovens, and glass stove top. The kitchen island will keep you from brushing elbows while preparing the big meal, and two bar stools around the island for relaxing and visiting with the chefs of your group. The early risers can enjoy a large pub-style table with 4 chairs next to large picture windows to view the outdoor wildlife. Just off the living area are a formal dining room and table for ten. The garage has been set up as a game room, offering a wood table for four to deal out a game of Texas Hold 'Em, a foosball table, a ping-pong table, and plenty of storage space for your beach bags and mountain bikes. When game time's over, lounge outside in patio furniture on the deck or in the private hot tub. The charcoal grill and hot tub will allow you to keep the fun outdoors and take advantage of the fresh ocean air.
Although Serendipity is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 2.

The house was big enough and comfortable enough so that meals and sleeping situations provided a real opportunity to relax and enjoy each other's company.Easy access to the beach was wonderful for all.
What an excellent home. 14 of us. 8 adults and 6 grandchildren ages 7-6mo. We had an amazing time. House is large and comfortable. Had an issue with the cottage door lock and they were very quick to fix. Came back the next morning and replaced it. Can’t wait to come back. Even the kids were all in agreement they want to return.
The house had plenty of space for the kids to have there own rooms, close to the beach, hot tub was relaxing a great weekend all around. Will stay here again.

Our stay was amazing. The house was spacious and comfortable, with a huge great room that easily fit all ten of us. One of the best parts was the beach access right across the street—it couldn’t have been more convenient. The location, about 10 miles north of Fort Bragg, was peaceful and perfect for relaxing. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better spot. If you’re looking to unwind, I highly recommend Serendipity!
The home was extremely clean and as advertised. We loved the flexibility of the space and the access to the beach. Our family loved staying here and would come back again next year
Great house to stay, large family had plenty of room for adults and kids. Beach access was right across the street and was close to town for shopping. A couple of minor issues, the main dryer was stopped because of clogged vent and hot water stopped working in the cottage but it was no big deal. We had the best vacation we had in years, love the Fort Bragg area and this house didn’t disappoint us at all.
We had 10 members of the family Serendipity was perfect. Excellent location to the beach. Had a wonderful week.

Great place. Clean and sleeps my whole family . Close to the beach was awesome
This was our second time staying at Serendipity and even with three more people it was a wonderful relaxing stay. We are so grateful to be able to enjoy one another in such a beautiful place on the coast. Amazing view, steps to the beach, and so close to town.
Celebrated my youngest daughter’s 40th birthday with her siblings and kids. Had a lovely time at the house and the beach. My older children enjoyed the hot tub and I enjoyed the ocean.
We had 4 different families staying here -- 9 adults ranging from, 79 years old to 21 and 6 children -- 16 years old to 2 years old. There was plenty of room & privacy. Memories of a lifetime were made!
This property was perfect for a large family gathering including 6 kids. The views are fantastic, the kitchen has everything you could need and the communication was great. Beautiful property, loved the proximity to the beach. Nice and quiet neighborhood.
My Husband and my self and our 3 children with their spouses and grandkids! Thus is the second time we have stayed here, easy access to the beach and the fun things for the kids in the
Amazing home with lots of room-the beach is just across the street and down the stairs.
A great home for a family to bring the kids and hang out. The game room is supplied with everything you need to stay entertained. The great room was comfortable and the view of the ocean waves was spectacular.
