The stay was excellent for our family of five. The home had plenty of space for us to hang out, have meals, and relax after a day at the beach or a day of activities in Fort Bragg. There were plenty of things for our kids to do and were kept entertained during our stay. The kitchen is well equipped and bedrooms are comfortable. Also being close to the beach was a huge plus. Definitely an incredible choice to stay at.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 28, 2024
We were quite surprised to get your review over one month since your stay at our property; the long delay is unusual. And, we were shocked at your 2 star rating. Your positive comment is very contrary to your rating. In addition, your rating is so different than all of the other ratings of 5, with comments regarding the exceptional location, amenities, host communication, and cleanliness. We altered the house rules to allow you to bring 2 dogs and offered early/late check in/out to enhance your stay. You contacted VRBO with a comment a week prior to your arrival, when you failed to respond to my correspondence. We corrected the housekeeper blunder which has no impact on the quality of your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience you feel. We strive to provide a wonderful experience for our guests, which is evident by their ratings, comments, and reflections left in the guest book.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly & Howard Royer

Host profile image
Howard and Kelly bought the North Coast Retreat several years ago and have been busy updating and enhancing the property. They live in the Bay Area and plan to use the property as a family vacation spot and private retreat upon retirement. The property and area provide them soul replenishment from busy lifestyles and work schedules. During hot summer days, the ocean breeze is refreshing/cooling and the clean air is beneficial during the bad air quality days now common in California during wild fire season.

Why they chose this property

The location is premium! Ward Avenue wraps along the ocean front with direct beach access in several areas. Many homes in the neighborhood are vacation rentals or family owned retreats. When there is fog in the downtown area of Fort Bragg or nearby Mendocino, the blue skies of this neighborhood are appreciated. The property is located outside of the city limits, with a rural type setting. The property has a detached cottage, which is sometimes rented. An RV site at rear of then property is for occasional use by owners; it has previously been rented on VRBO.

What makes this property unique

The home has a sun room that can be used as a game room with board games, dart board with darts, ping pong table with paddles and balls, ladder ball set, croquette, bocce ball, corn hole game, and beach toys provided for use. The property has a park like backyard that has deer, many varieties of birds, and other wildlife to watch daily. The home has a private gated back yard as well, with a deck, patio furniture, and a BBQ.
