As if the having the ocean right outside your Fort Bragg getaway wasn't perfect enough, there's even enough space to bring your entire family! This 3,200 square foot beach house sits perched on MacKerricher State Park among dunes and protected nature. It's the perfect site for your next big family reunion or any getaway for everyone!
About four and a half miles north of Fort Bragg proper, this home is in the quiet village of Cleone, giving you easy access to Highway 1 as well as the seclusion you seek in a vacation. Lake Cleone, for a serene stroll is a short walk away from your front door. Right outside your getaway are the MacKerricher dunes and trails, a perfect place for a headland hike and a picnic. You can also visit fun and funky Fort Bragg for brunch and a stroll around local boutiques or come for dinner.
As you approach this oceanfront Fort Bragg home, you'll be welcomed by the sea fog and a rustic but well-maintained facade. Greet the rest of your party from one of the two decks as they trickle in. On a clear night, take out the provided telescope and see what you can spy.
On the bottom half of this home, you'll have a spacious den to convene and make plans for the trip (with help from the provided WiFi). Take a moment to write out postcards or record moments in your journal at the desk or watch the big game together on the cable-equipped TV before the new sofa and comfy armchair. Play cards or a board game at the four-seat table before the wall of windows - or you can simply gaze out at the spectacular view beckoning you to comb for pebbles in the sand.
This den also doubles as a room for children to have a sleepover on the sofabed. Two more bedrooms are available on this floor, each with memory foam queen beds.
Upstairs is the living room with brand new furnishings, kitchen, and more bedrooms. The living room has a second TV and sofabed - a perfect room for close friends to have an old-school sleepover if they want! Of course, this space also has huge windows with panoramic views of the ocean.
Make popcorn or even a Sunday dinner around the solid wood table in the fully stocked kitchen. Complete with all new stainless steel appliances, this kitchen provides all that you need. Pop a bottle of local wine to share on the upper deck while the kids play freely on the sprawling yard below.
This property is solar-powered and has a generator, so if the rest of the town is without power, this home will still have electricity and be nice and toasty!
If you've never explored the area, take a mini road trip down the coast for a day trip to Mendocino and Albion, the latter about 20 miles from the home. Since Fort Bragg is definitely the biggest town on the northern coast, you'll have the pleasure of finding little, hidden gems in the smaller towns you find along the drive. Nature walks and farm stands dot the area for a true California experience you can't get in the big cities.
You can't beat the location of this Northern California Coast vacation rental! Come see for yourself how beautiful the area is from your own private getaway!
This home is solar-powered, and it has a backup generator that supplies electricity to the home if the area experiences a power failure.

The house was great for all my family. Everyone had their own room and bathroom which was nice. I love that it was close to the water that we could walk there easily. I would recommend this house to anyone that has 8 or 9 guest very comfortable. Thank you for having it available it was much better than a hotel.

We truly appreciate your thoughtful review. We're glad the house worked well for your family and that you enjoyed being close to the water. It was a pleasure to host you, and we hope to have you stay with us again sometime.
We had an amazing time at Sandborn! This year we spent our Spring Break with friends. I’ve stayed at Sandborn before, and it never disappoints. The rooms are big enough for at least 3-4 families. Our kids decided to take over the living room downstairs and made it their own getaway. This place is perfect for the best views, walking distance to the beach, hot tubbing at night, and very dog friendly. The host was great in answering my questions quickly, which I truly appreciated. I’m definitely coming back.

Thank you very much for your kind words and for choosing to stay with us again. We're glad the space worked well for your group and that you enjoyed the views, location, and dog-friendly atmosphere. It’s great to hear our quick responses were helpful. We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to welcoming you back whenever you return.
The home was within a short walk of the beach and had a wonderful view of the ocean. It was laid out well for our large group. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils for preparing meals at the property. Great location. Lots to do nearby.It could use some maintenance ( carpet cleaning, painting, screen repair), but overall was a lovely home and we would be happy to stay there again.

We as a family gathering loved the location!! We loved the home and its surroundings! The views are amazing and beautiful!! We would definitely stay at Sandborn again!
Over all a great place to stay. The house was very clean and tidy. Stocked very well. We were a little disappointed to find out there wasnt actually a bbq, only a flat top. But it was a great stay with plenty of space for the family.
