Perfect!

Myself, my partner & our two dogs stayed at this magnificent home. We were so pleased with everything and couldn't believe how perfect it was, even for our favorite four-legged family members. Our dogs were as happy as we were. The house is clean, beautiful, and comfortable. We had a last minute reservation that came together very simply without flaw. We definitely look forward to a return trip and are so grateful to the owners for making such a wonderful spot so welcoming.

Like Staying at A Friend's Luxury Beach House

Guest: mcornes (San Francisco)
Date of Stay: 08/30/11 Review Submitted: 09/08/11

I can only echo what all the other reviewers have to say about the property- it's truly top notch: recently remodeled, right on the ocean overlooking a small cove, last house-at-the-end-of-the-road kind of feeling and yet just a few minutes from the sizable town of Fort Bragg. A private path down to the beach. Hot Tub. Horseshoes. Laundry. Fireplace. Plenty of communal space and still room for individual privacy. It feels much more like someone's home than "a rental". It's full of all kinds of personal touches, and I especially appreciate how they have thought of everything for guests, from a fully, fully stocked kitchen to soap in the bathrooms to extra beach shoes and sweatshirts to a runner through the garage connecting the house with the hot tub for those bare foot runs inside. We've stayed in many VRBO properties but never one so thoughtfully and generously appointed.

What a house, what a view!

The long, winding driveway suggests privacy and a hint of the magnificent view. The "Wows" include the view, the access to the beach, the perfectly positioned hot tub, the best equipped and beautiful kitchen (with a view), the dining area (with a view), the fireplace (so easy to use and enjoy), the bathrooms (oh those shower heads), and comfortable beds! There was also interest access and cable tv in the living room. Great location ..could walk to Harvest Market (healthy walk with bags) and drive to Ft Bragg in 5 mins and Mendocino in 10 mins. Absolutely no complaints.

So Happy for "A New World"

I actually would visit this property as a little girl. This is the house my grandparents lived in and spent their "golden years" . The memories I have of the home are precious. I remember running down to the beach to collect Abalone shells with my dad. I can tell you that as a mother myself I would definitely recommend staying here. I look forward to bringing my kids here soon so that I can share with them all the wonderful times I had.

Our most memorable vacation

My family and I stayed at "A New World" two summers ago. We are always trying to go new places and see new things, including most of the national parks in California and Utah. We have been some pretty amazing places, but I have to say that this home is by far the most relaxing and memorable vacation we have ever had. In my mind I go back there still, and imagine myself looking out to the ocean, seeing the fog roll in, and watching my boys frolick on the shore..looking for and finding starfish! I will always hold a special place in my soul for this vacation spot. The heated bathroom floors were a nice touch too:)

Our Experience at A New World

Guest: Ger (Southport West Sacramento)
Date of Stay: 02/10/11 Review Submitted: 04/15/11

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our group stayed at “A New World” for three days to celebrate my mother-in-law's 80th birthday. I must say that the photos of this property and home do not do it justice. When we arrived, we were quite overwhelmed with the ambiance, décor and views from the home. Everything is top of the line, upscale, of good quality and immaculately clean! The fireplace heated the entire house and is extremely efficient not to mention it is large and very attractive. The leather sofas and chairs were very luxurious and comfortable. The kitchen is gorgeous and is set up for major cooking and entertaining. It is totally self contained with pots, pans, dishes, glassware, silverware, dish towels and more. The bedrooms were wonderful with comfortable beds, plenty of available bedding and storage for clothing and suitcases. There were his and hers robes in the closets. The bathrooms were tastefully decorated with deep Jacuzzi tub, waterfall showers and thick high quality towels. We cooked, visited, watched movies, read, flew a kite, took nature walks and did some beach combing during our visit. The beach below the house is a beautiful private cove which is an entirely separate experience from the home and the property. The sunsets and ocean scapes were magnificent. What more can I say. You will love the experience of “A New World” it is both healing and rejuvenating to your soul. My compliments to the owners Bob & Lynda for creating this incredible retreat by the sea!

A House worthy of the magnificent views!

As with all the other reviews here, it’s true to say that the pictures do not adequately describe this magnificent home. Not only is it beautifully appointed and furnished with top of the line appliances and amenities, but it doesn’t lack a single convenience. All the fixtures in the bathrooms are both modern and luxurious and the thoughtful hosts have even provided niceties such as boutique shampoos, lotions soaps, etc. There is not one single thing you’ll need to bring except for the clothes on your back and food to prepare in the gourmet kitchen, and of course some extra charcoal if you’re going to be grilling. The views were so fantastic that even our dog, which was a welcome guest as well, took in the panoramic vistas and enjoyed watching others on the beach. And did we mention the beach?? The steps to beach provided unfettered access to what’s essentially a private beach where the creek runs into the ocean. And what better to enjoy a nice outdoor shower to clean up on your return – even our dog got a good bath outside! I could elaborate and continue to heap platitudes on “A New World” but I have to admit – as a set of finicky travelers we had no complaints at all – only compliments. We enjoyed every part of the property which we gladly shared with the deer, wild turkeys and sea-birds hovering overhead. As others have said get there and stock up – you will never have to leave (but if you do take the trail a block away along Noyo Harbor and then head over the Harvest Market which is the Fort Bragg equivalent of “Whole Foods” without the hefty prices. Thank you Bob and Lynda for a fantastic one-of-a-kind experience. There is a reason this place is booked so far in advance! If you love to expolre the beach or just sit up on the cliffs admiring the views you will not be disappointed!

A New World - Spectacular Experience

Date of Stay: 05/09/10 Review Submitted: 06/05/10

This was my 4th VRBO, and 1st in CA, and it was the best rental property I've seen yet. Pictures don't to it justice. The property is newly remodeled and plush. The owners were attentive and a pleasure to work with. I'd recommend this property for those looking for a relaxing and comfortable experience, with a sense of adventure to explore Fort Bragg and the country side.
