Keywords: House
An historic saltbox, located on the water's edge within the tiny community of Westport, this home has been an observation point for the splendor of the Pacific for more than 100 years. The charming interior has the beautifully maintained look and feel of Mendocino history with modern appointments to keep you snug and comfortable.
The thundering Pacific breaks against the rocks for an awe-inspiring view of hazy layers of sea mist swirling around rocky islands. Westport is nestled against coastal hills, rolling off to join the distant shadowy curve of the mysterious Lost Coast. Some 20 minutes north of Fort Bragg and a stroll away from miles of secluded beaches along the rocky shoreline, enjoy fishing, biking, horseback riding, State Parks, and sunset views in this easygoing comfortable atmosphere.
A rustic hamlet on the Mendocino Coast about 18 miles north of Fort Bragg, Westport is one of the last vestiges of civilization before State 1 turns inland. At the end of a winding, often cliff-hugging drive up the highway from Fort Bragg, Westport greets you with two dozen homes, one standard-issue motel, a now its-open-now-its-not lounge and hotel, and a tiny market with a couple of gas pumps.

As I sit here looking out the kitchen window, I struggle to find the appropriate words to describe what a treasure this home is, and the feelings of calm and serenity that you experience while visiting. You go from a tranquil mesemorizing state as you sit and watch the waves roll in, to a feeling of excitement as you reach for the camera to capture a picture of a whale spout or a seal swimming by. We even found ourselves sitting in the rocker, facing the window looking out at the night sky. We were fortunate enough to be here during a full moon. We woke up our first morning here to an unforgettable sight of the moon light glistening off the ocean as the sun rose slowly turning the sky a beautiful ray of colors. The sunsets were also breathtaking. Such beauty!

We're relaxed, sunned and reluctant to go home. This vacation gave us some much needed quiet time and some much enjoyed beach time. The views here are...indescribable. It was hard to do anything but stare out into sea. We did do a lot of reading, a lot of cooking, and some exploring. I celebrated a special birthday-noting like a little chocolate cake with a side of sweeping view! Never missed a sunset!! It's worth repeating all of the other comments-thank you for generously sharing this place with strangers. It has such a spirit! This little house by the sea contains such love!
