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 house was magical! So much closer to the beach than we realized. It is decorated adorably! Everything worked and check out was easy. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the location and the charming decor, and that check-out was easy. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
We had a wonderful time. Great location and easy check in. The deck could use some maintenance, as nails are sticking up. Thank you

Thank you for your kind words. We’re glad the house was a great fit for your family and that you had a peaceful, relaxing stay. We hope to welcome you back again sometime.
The Johnson Family enjoyed their stay in Fort Brag. The house, setting and overall experience was outstanding. We enjoyed everything about our stay and we hope to do it again in the near future.
The house was everything the profile describes. Short walk to the beach was lovely. We took advantage of the hot tub and fire pit as well. Would stay again.
Great place. Would like to note microwave did not work but that is a pretty simple item to replace. Otherwise it was a nice spot!

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.
The property was just what I hoped for. My family had a ruff year losing two family members and we needed to get away to celebrate their lives. Thanks you so much to the hosts for their hospitality.
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!
Haul road is a great resource for all visitors for walking, bike riding, running. Unsurpassed views of the beach and the ocean. House was a great beach house. Easy to keep tidy. Well equipped.

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.
We found the dishes lacking. No small plates, small glasses and only two teaspoons.

Thank you for staying with us, Everett! We apologize that the dishware supplied was not sufficient for your party. Your feedback has been useful in helping local management make improvements for future reservations. We hope to host you again!
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!
Enjoyable even in the storm. No tv, internet or gas fireplace. Hot tub worked after fiddling with

We appreciate you taking the time to leave your review with us. The TV, internet, and fireplace were not working during the power outage in the storm. We confirmed all advertised amenities worked once the power was back on. Thank you!
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.
