About this property

Windrift Cottage - An idyllic haven on the coast

Just a few minutes from Mendocino and Fort Bragg, Windrift Cottage is a perfect headquarters for your Mendocino Coast vacation. However, with all the home has to offer, you may be tempted never to leave the property.
A private but rugged path right off the backyard drops down to a secluded beach where you can spend the day in the sun and surf or elect to cozy up next to the fireplace and take in dinner and a movie before retiring to the hot tub with a panoramic view of the Pacific.
Enjoy the simplistic peace of Windrift's intimate, studio-style layout, with a leather sofa next to a gas fireplace, wide-screen television with cable and DVD collection, a pillow-topped queen bed, and a small kitchen (mini fridge, two burner stove, but no oven) with a high lounge-type table.
Please note: No children are allowed at this location.
Although Windrift is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 1.
Windrift Cottage; it's an experience you won't want to end. To see all photos and details visit our website.

It had been raining for several days before our arrival, but the rain took a break just in time! We had beautiful, sunny weather every day!The grounds are enchanting, the cottage very well kept and clean. Tha jacuzzi was so relaxing. The ocean view is incredible and ever-changing. This trip couldn't have been better!This was my 4th time staying at Windrift cottage, but first time for my boyfriend. His favorite part was taking the trail down to the private beach below. So much fun! We will be back again!

Unbeatable view!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Windrift Cottage 12-29-23 to 1-2-24. It is a warm and cozy place with an unbeatable view! The fireplace is great, the bed is overly soft but still comfy, and the kitchen has the basics. The path to the cottage is lighted at night. The path to the small beach is fairly easy to navigate. We love that the cottage is dog friendly. Overall we had a wonderful time! Tips for others: be sure and bring a swim suit and or a robe, as the hot tub is pretty exposed. Bring waterproof shoes to be able to cross the shallow creek and explore the whole beach.

Stay at Windrift Cottage
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Another great stay for 6 days at Windrift Cottage. The view of the Inlet/ocean is incredible! The TV has been upgraded as has the exterior and flooring. Because the space is small, the couch is small to fit. The outside patio and hot tub(new) have a fantastic view. The new refrigerator is an improvement, the stove could use an upgrade. The cottage is close to Mendocino and Ft Bragg, you can walk down to the ocean and hear the waves crashing from anywhere on the property.
