Relax and unwind at this sparkling, ocean view home. Ideal for a small family, a couples retreat, or a romantic getaway for two, this charming vacation rental features a well-equipped galley kitchenette (no dishwasher) to help you prepare home-cooked, cost-saving meals, plus a dining table for four. Kick back in the cozy living area warmed by a gas stove and illuminated by a wall of windows offering views of the Pacific Ocean and the breaking waves, and keep an eye out for spouts from migrating whales.

Grab the bag of beach toys and head down the path to the sand. If you're up for even more exercise, you'll find a variety of adult and children's bikes available (please bring your own helmets) that you can take out on the coastal trail that runs north to MacKerricher State Park or south past Fort Bragg all the way to Noyo Harbor. Back home, the kids will love romping around the spacious front and back yards, and there are plenty of yard games to enjoy, including corn hole, croquet, and bocce ball. And after days of exploring or playing on the beach, prepare dinner on the gas grill, dine alfresco on the furnished patio, then gather around the flickering firepit to watch the sunset together and roast s'mores.

WHAT’S NEARBY
This home puts you conveniently close to walking paths and the beach where you can check out tide pools teeming with colorful sea life.

Beach stay
I recently stayed at this property in Fort Bragg for a family vacation, and there were several positive aspects to our experience. The place was clean and in a great location, just a short walk to the beach, which we really appreciated. There was also a nice collection of bicycles and toys available for the kids, which truly made their weekend. However, there was a drawback worth noting. The house is actually the upstairs unit of a duplex, not a full house as stated in the description. While this wasn’t a major issue for us on this trip, it could be a concern if there were other guests staying in the unit below, as noise might be a problem. Despite these points, we still had a good time and enjoyed the location and amenities. Overall, it’s a decent place for a beachside stay, especially for families with children, but be aware of the duplex setup.

Beautiful kept secret
I wanted to keep this a secret as to how perfect this house is but I figured I should share. I came with my two girlfriends to spend time together for an early birthday getaway. The home was clean, spacious and decorated just my style. It had everything to create meals and we did eat in for dinner and breakfast. My favorite part was watching the surfers out the front while we did a bit of yoga after coffee!

the house was well equipped. I was happy to find the stair gait hidden in the closet, it could be a life saver. I feel that A note should be posted on that closet door so that people realize it is there, we had a great stay.

Small but nicely appointed place
Great ocean view and walk to an ocean trail. The place is very clean, newly remodeled. The shower stall is unusually short and it gets quite hot in the afternoon, or I would have given five rather than four stars

Great view and short walk to the ocean and trail
Clean, pleasant and quiet. Gets very warm inside during the afternoon, so be prepared to open windows and turn on fans (provided). Clean ocean air to breathe, and a short walk to the coastal trail for walks and bike rides.

Thumbs up!
Had a great stay at this property. The location was convenient for our interests: walking along the headlands, visiting Fort Bragg and hiking in the nearby state parks. There was a nice welcome basket and the place was very clean.

Girls trip
We made a quick trip to coast to meet up with friends. We felt very safe at the property. Everything was clean and well maintained. We only would request two things… a top sheet on the beds and one of the beds needs a new mattress desperately. We laughed about every time one friend would move you could hear the old springs squeaking. The other mattress was fine. It was a great location to be able to walk to the beach.

Sweet property just at the edge of town
Property was lovely. Apple trees and good space for the kids to ride bikes and run around. House got hot in the afternoon but cooled down nicely once the sun went down. House not built for tall people. Easy bike ride to the beach and bike path. Quiet area. Would recommend for families.

Cozy little treasure!
Super cute upstairs attic apartment. Loved the views out the large front windows. It was perfect for 2 people. Ocean was close and walking to the beach was very easy down the path. Felt like being at a private beach most of the time! We went in July so the apartment heated up by late afternoon. Having a couple of standing fans would of been perfect for air flow. It was quite hot in the bedrooms. This is an attic so if you are a tall person the shower may be a bit small for you in the bathroom. Otherwise all else was cute & modern. Hot water does take a while to come up to the apartment especially in the kitchen. A hot water on demand unit would be perfect under the sink! We enjoyed our stay at the Sea Esta and would stay again!

Just What We Were Hoping For
The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment about a quarter mile from the beach. Just outside the Ft. Bragg city limits, but only 5-10 minutes to reach the restaurants downtown and Glass Beach. We went out to eat thr first night and stayed in and cooked for ourselves the second. The only unpleasantness we encountered was a sort of greasy smell in the garage wafting up the stairs when the door was left open. And one little mystery: there is an outlet in the living room with a switch above it where there would normally be another outlet. What the heck is that for?

Fort Bragg Perfection!
This little gem is the perfect place for a relaxing stay in Fort Bragg. Located just outside of town, down a street with no close neighbors and a spectacular ocean view. Me and the hubs enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets from the ocean view picture windows, taking walks on the trail, and truly unwinding from all the stress in our lives. . We were lucky to meet the property owner and learn more about her childhood home! Take the time to read the home's history in the binder. It's a very sweet story!

Home Town Memories
This trip was a return home to place my parents ashes into their final resting spot. Our family home had been sold so for this trip I wanted to be close to the ocean like our families home was. I searched for one where I could hear the ocean waves crashing on the shore like I did growing up. This rental was perfect. I felt at home the second I walked in. I even laughed learning I was in my HS math instructors residence. If your looking for a relaxing trip with walking distance to the beach and town I 100% recommended renting this coastal retreat.

Great Family getaway
The property was beautiful! My son loved walking around and walking to the beach. They had bicycles and fun outdoor games. The kitchen was small but perfect for the 3 of us. The only issue we had was a plumber came out and was there for half the day turning the water on and off and he had a key so he opened the door at one point and woke up our son from his nap. He was very nice and considerate but he did not know we were staying there and we weren't notified he would be coming. I wish we would have been told of this scheduled appointment. Other then that I would not change a thing! We are grateful to have stayed in your childhood home and we hope to come again.
