About this property

Coracao do Mar has a BRAND NEW hot tub for the perfect coastal getaway!

Coracao Do Mar

NOTE: If you are bringing pet's , please let us know!
We do charge a fee of seventy five dollars per pet.

You’ll find ample inspiration to embrace your aquatic aspirations at Coracao do Mar (Heart ofthe Sea).

Coracao Do Mar has a BRAND NEW Hot Tub!

Pursue your Pacific Passion at Coração do Mar, a luxurious vacation rental ideal for a getaway with family or close friends. This lovely abode is tucked away on the Old Coast Highway, with access to Hare Creek Beach, providing the perfect refuge or launch pad to explore the hidden gems of the Mendocino Coast.

You’ll have everything you need to relax to your heart’s content in this beautiful, spacious, and airy setting. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as well as plenty of indoor and outdoor
seating, a patio, and a farmhouse-meets-Mediterranean villa atmosphere that will have you falling in love.

No man is an island, but this home will feel like one, in the best possible way. The fluffy towels and luxurious tub evoke a world-class spa, while the fully equipped kitchen means that you can whip up a meal any time you please. The grill outside will appeal to the BBQ enthusiast, the lounge chairs are great for reading a book in the sun, and the fire pit is perfect for s’mores and hot cocoa.

When you’re craving the sand between your toes, you can head to the beach, where little ones can frolic and build sandcastles (and you can, too!). If you fancy a lively small-town scene, head to Fort Bragg or Mendocino for delicious dining options, shopping and more. It’s a short trip north to Fort Bragg’s bustling Noyo Harbor and charming downtown or south to Mendocino’s historic homes and breathtaking waterfront. Along much of the coast, you’ll be able to stop in at state parks and local beaches for hiking, biking, and kayaking – or sunbathing and dipping your toes in the surf, if you prefer a more leisurely day.

The Coração do Mar will always welcome you back at the end of a long day, but with so many amenities, you may just find yourself preferring to kick back in this little bubble of perfection. The living room features a soft and comfortable armchair and sectional couch facing a fireplace and big-screen TV (with Blu-Ray and Roku), the dining room has bench seats and a table big enough for fun family-style meals, and the patio and yard are perfect for afternoons or evenings al fresco. Look for hidden treasures throughout this Azores-inspired home, such as the driftwood sculptures and ocean-inspired paintings from local artists.

The house has a large bedroom with queen bed and en-suite bathroom, a second bedroom with a full bed, and a children’s room with bunk beds.

From the main bedroom, enjoy a view of the backyard, or settle into the rocking chair and put your feet up. An additional TV in this bedroom offers entertainment options. Your bathroom comes with a choice of shower or bath, so you’ll be able to wash off the sand from your beach adventures and relax in comfort.

No one will come to blows over who gets what room though, because the second bedroom boasts delightful amenities as well, with pastoral decor and a top-of-the-line mattress that will invite
you to sink into bed at the end of the day. The third bedroom features bunk beds perfect for younger adventurers, with whimsical bedding featuring turtles and sea horses, as well as educational décor about fauna both aquatic and airborne.

The only thing sweeter than your dreams will be waking up to another day on the beautiful Mendocino Coast. Listen to your heart and head to the Coração do Mar, your piece of Pacific paradise.

We rented this spot as a place to get ready for and rest from the whirlwind of our wedding weekend. It was PERFECT!! It had anything we could have possibly needed; beautiful kitchen, plenty of space for large wedding party to get ready in on the morning of, a low-key bbq the day before and the quiet solitude for the night after! As I wrote in the guestbook, I am so excited and inspired to own a rental home just like this one on day! Perfect for any groups, families or even just a couple like us! Thank you!!

Great getaway

We had a great time. House was lovely. It had everything we needed. Felt like home away from home. Our 2 year old loved "his room" and the bunk beds. The walk to the beach was great and location was perfect. We stay in fortbragg at least once a year and this house was one of the nicest ones we stayed in. We celebrated my husband and I anniversaries and my hisband and brothers birthdays It was a great stay

Modern, spacious property, centrally located

We loved our time in this house. It’s beautiful, new, clean and so much space. The hot tub didn’t warm up fast enough for us to use it, which was unfortunate, but we appreciated all the other amenities - my kids loved the stash of games and we started an obsession with Monopoly during our stay. It was a very convenient location as well, about 7 min from ‘downtown’ Ft Bragg.

A great stay for a family get together

The rental exceeded our expectations! The listing was accurate and we found it was a perfect setup for our family gathering. The kitchen was well appointed and having the firepit in the backyard as well as the BBQ was a great addition to our evenings. The communication with Pacific Blue was excellent and they quickly responded to any questions that we had. We would recommend this to anyone and we will be back!

Cora so do Mar

This is our second time at this property. We find the home very functional. Close enough to town with easy access to the residence. I do have a few recommendations though. A larger area rug and better seating in the living room would be a big improvement. Also, the grading to the rear steps should be improved, as the last riser from stair to ground level is somewhat dangerous. Last, the string lights at the back patio are at about neck level. These need to be raised or should be removed. All minor items that would make it even better. Thanks, Dan

Quiet Coastal Getaway.

We love the private yard, and the dog friendly property. We were able to play catch in the yard with our dog without being disturbed. The property was clean, and the modular has lots of light. Not all windows have screens and so insects can fly in if you use those windows. A couple of the screens are in really bad shape and were duct taped in areas, this really distracted from the otherwise pristine condition of the property. We were asked to clean up after our dog, but people before us had obviously not done so, we clean up after our dog every time he goes number two. In general we loved our stay here. The only thing we would've liked more is a front gate that locked; all the other properties nearby have secure gates. There are transients that walk down the road and even stop and eat their meal on the steps of a building right across from the property. I feel a secure gate, would add a level of protection and privacy. The hot tub was wonderful. All the porch lights worked. The master bathroom is a dream. However, the fan in the master bedroom seems to be unstable and rocks and shakes if you use it so we did not. The area was amazingly quiet, even with its proximity to Highway 1.
