About this property

Expansive Oceanfront Escape - Hot Tub, Grill, Yard

Summary:

Stella De Mare



The Space:

Find yourself on five private acres of beachfront beauty complete with an ocean-facing hot tub. Relax in the large living room and take in the panoramic view, and then enjoy a movie or favorite show on the large, flatscreen TV. Or just spend your days and evenings entertaining friends and family while grilling out in the yard.



The Old Haul Road is a popular trail used for biking, walking, and even horseback riding. The beach offers the best of both worlds: to the left, an easy walk to the surf and sand, while off to the right of the property, you'll find a small, easy to maneuver cliff which takes you to the rocky beach where there are tide pools teeming with sea life and large rocks for scaling. Just two-and-a-half miles south, visit Glass Beach, while the Mendocino Botanical Garden can be found a little over five miles away.



Please note The upstairs bedroom is not fully enclosed and is open to the main living space below via a staircase.

The view and yard was fabulous. Nice fire pit for cold evenings. Walking path along the property. Rooms for everyone and space for everyone. There was supposed to be a hot tub. That was one of the many reasons we wanted to stay here. It never worked. The person kept working on it but it never did work. The beds are very firm so that took a bit to get used to.

Perfect for a relaxing getaway in Fort Bragg!

This place was perfect for a relaxing getaway in Fort Bragg! The house is right along the Haul Road trail, which takes you all the way to Glass Beach—about a 5-mile round trip with amazing views, so it’s worth the walk if you’re up for it. The house itself was really cozy, with beautiful ocean views and a nice level of privacy, which we loved. Also, it’s very dog-friendly, which made things so much easier for us and our pups. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot with coastal access and great trails, this place is a great pick!

Ridiculously Beautiful

This was one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed at! The house was so well thought out, from the layout and amenities, to sweeping views, it had everything we needed. The kids loft was a perfect, they never wanted to leave the house! We took amazing walks along the beach from right outside the door. We can't wait to visit again.

Wonderful Location

We had another wonderful week in Fort Bragg. The location of this beautiful home can’t be beat. The amenities are awesome. Our only complaint is that we couldn’t figure out how to use the ceiling fans so the house was very warm. Also, the hot tub didn’t have enough chlorine so the water had a foul smell. We can’t wait to stay again next year!

Amazing

We had the best time at this home. It was clean, perfect location, great view and had all we needed. Last year we had a horrible time with horrible neighbors at our previous location. Unfortunately it was the last year with my dad at our annual Fort Bragg vacation. This year we got so lucky and we were able dedicate this time to him. We usually go out a lot and don’t spend to much times at the home, but this year found ourselves never leaving. Absolutely love this home and highly recommend!

Property needs attention.

The driveway to the home is very rough, needs grading. The hot tub does not work. The home heating system does not function. Neat and clean interior, tastefully done. Great Location. The decks are dangerous, rotting out in many places, with significant tripping hazards.

Awesome location! Kind of dirty.

Awesome location and plenty of privacy. Easy walking access to the beach for everyone in the family. Loved the road behind the house for walking and bike riding. Our only complain was the cleanliness of the home. For the price we paid it was pretty dirty. Old dirt and new. We found many items like old socks, hair ties, sunglasses and toys from the people who stayed there before us. There was also hair on the toilets and in the sinks. The shower curtain also was growing mold and the bath mat had a smashed old bug in it. If the home got a deep clean we would have given it 5 stars.

This is a special place.

The house is very nice, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The two washer/dryer sets came in really handy, since our family spent a lot of time outdoors. Skylights in the bedrooms make great puddles of sunlight across the beds for napping in the afternoons, the hot tub is wonderful, and you can hear the ocean thoughout the house. The location absolutely cannot be beat, and the property itself is amazing. Lots of privacy, and truly beautiful woods. We had deer in the yard most days, and saw squirrels, birds/hawks, and rabbits, too. Easy access to the pedestrian/bike path that follows the shore was wonderful. We walked to MacKerricher State Park to see harbor seals at Laguna Point and the black sand beach next to it, and to explore lots of coves nearby, including some that had swimmable/sandy beach fronts. Glass Beach and Pudding Creek Beach were very close by, too. We had one minor issue with the gate when we first arrived, but Vacasa and the property manager were very responsive and easy to work with. We were talking about coming back for a lot of the drive home, and when we do, I'll looking to book here again!

Awsesome House for big family

We enjoyed our stay at Stella this weekend. Plenty of space for 10 of us. The house floor plan is great and we loved all the decor. My only issue with this rental was the dirty floors. The cleaners needs to realize dirt, sand and dust bunnies gather under furnishings and behind them. There was dog fur everywhere. This was not my first beach rental and I always spend my vacations sweeping sand that accumulates but what I was seeing and cleaning was dirt, hair, fur and other things left beind from poor cleaning in between guests. The hot tub was not on and was dirty and had algae. We were pretty bummed since that was something we were really looking forward to in the cold. Other than that, bathrooms were clean, kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of towels. Thanks for letting us enjoy your beautiful home to make memories!
