Shell Seeker - Fort Bragg, CA

Ready to take that ultimate beach vacation you've been thinking about? This dreamy Fort Bragg vacation rental is almost too beautiful to believe! Host all your friends or bring the whole family out for a relaxing week - this five-bedroom abode is walking distance from the ocean.

This conveniently located home is perfect for anyone who wants to feel the solitude of the rolling waves of the Pacific, yet be only 15 minutes away from the bars, bakeries, and shopping of Fort Bragg. Go horseback riding along the Ten Mile Beach or head to the local winery (just 10 minutes away!) for some relaxation between swimming or surf sessions. Mendocino is also only 30 minutes south for even more urban entertainment.

This one-level home has a fresh feel, while letting the beauty of the ocean speak for itself. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide incredible views, and the wooden floors and modern amenities make everything feel pristine yet welcoming. The solar collector also means this place has gone green - so leave your eco guilt at home! This home also features StarLink high-speed internet, an ideal choice for remote work, streaming, and Zoom meetings.

The living room is open and inviting with a giant sectional sofa, gas fireplace, and awesome views. Connected to the open kitchen and dining room, there's plenty of room for people to congregate. The 14-foot kitchen island means there's enough space for six people to sit and chat over a glass of red wine while the cook gets crafty, or for the kids to sit and munch in the morning before hitting the beach.

The enormous deck wraps around the entire backside of the house, and there's a table perfect for dinner while catching the sunset. It's a great place to relax after a solid day of surfing or hiking along the beach.

The main bedroom has floor-to-ceiling glass windows covering half of the walls, so greeting the ocean first thing in the morning is a great way to start the day. With a romantic queen-size bed and soft carpet beneath your toes, this bedroom is a perfect place to cozy up for a snooze.

Three of the other bedrooms also boast queen-size beds, meaning there's plenty of room for everyone to get some much-needed rest, and the last bedroom has two twin beds that the kids will love to sleep (or jump!) on. Two additional sofabeds provide extra sleeping spaces.

There's also a game room with Ping-Pong and Foosball tables to satisfy your competitive edge, or just relax and play one of the many puzzles or board games available. With wireless Internet (please note it may be limited), satellite cable, and a whole bunch of DVDs to choose from, everyone will stay entertained when the sun sets on another day at the beach.

With the picturesque stone pinnacles and sandy beach, with private access, just a short walk away, this home is the perfect base for a walk along the coast, a surf session, or searching for seashells. Several state parks, including MacKerricher and Jug Handle, are also nearby, adding to your outdoor options for hiking, biking, and nature-watching. With Fort Bragg and Mendocino a short drive away, it's easy to access the perks of the city while maintaining your sense of beach solitude. When you're ready to retire for the day, treat yourself to a soak in the private hot tub.

Whichever way you choose to spend your seaside holiday, this well-equipped, beach-friendly home is certain to satisfy your needs. It doesn't matter if the sun's up or down: this has something for everyone!
