Sandy Clove Cottage Best Vacation Ever
Sandy Clove Cottage was so much more than just a vacation place!!! Above all the things to do in town, as well as the games and books to read at the cottage, it was truly a place to be able to slow down, breathe, relax, remember what's important in life. We have been vacationing in Fort Bragg for over 10 years. This is the 1st time we have 100% enjoyed staying in Fort Bragg. All because of Sandy Clove Cottage. We loved sitting on the front and back porches. So relaxing and beautiful to watch the wildlife. In the early morning and later in the evening you can hear the ocean. We enjoy going to the Train Museum and Glass Beach. We are "Beach bums" so we spend alot of time on the beach. So many things to do in Fort Bragg. Something for everyone. Back to Sandy Clove Cottage...can't wait to stay again. This was our 1st time of not staying in a hotel when we have come to Fort Bragg. We hope we left everything clean enough. Again, can't wait to go back. We have already recommended Sandy Clove Cottage to several people. Tim & Leilani McAndrews

Great Location
We love staying in this comfortable cottage. We come with our kayak group and many of them camp in Mckerricer and this cottage is almost inside the state park. Very close to the beach and a beautiful coastal bike trail. The home is clean and has everything you need for a great vacation stay. We've stayed here multiple times and will be coming back in the future.

Awesome Place!
4 of us stayed at the cottage for a weekend and had a great time. The home was perfect for everything we needed, plus you cannot beat the location! You really are a 5 minute walk to the beach. I stayed in the queen size room and that bed was very comfortable and our friends in the larger room said the same. We will definitely try and stay here again.

Comfortable Cottage
This little cottage had almost everything we needed for a comfortable stay. House was clean and had plenty of storage. Great peaceful location. Only things missing for a perfect stay are the following: Listing states washer and dryer in amenities but they are not available to guests. Functional blinds, many of the blinds are broken. A decent coffee maker, the coffee maker takes a very long time to brew. Less furniture, some of the furniture does not fit I would say they could get a smaller entry buffet and install a floating shelf in the large bedroom on the right side of the bed.

Wonderful location
The house is in an amazing location. Right next to the state park and a short walk from the beach. The listing had washer and dryer as amenities but we were notified three days prior to our visit that they weren’t available. This was disappointing because the washer and dryer was a factor when we booked the property.

Beach Access
We arrived to a cute and clean cottage and were so happy to escape the stifling heat that most of California was experiencing. Everyone was hungry upon arrival so the first thing we did was make dinner. We were pleased that the kitchen was fully stocked. The best thing about our stay was the walk from the backyard to the beach. We live in a popular coastal town in Southern California ourselves and were in awe of how "unbusy" the beach was. We really felt like we had the beach to ourselves. These will be our priceless moments. With 2 college aged boys and a teenage girl, we all greatly enjoyed our time here, not as easy feat to please all of us. We would love to stay here again in the upcoming summers.

Perfect Fort Bragg family vacation cottage
Perfect house to stay with the family to relax. The backyard was wonderful too, with firepit and bbq and very close to drive into the town of Fort Bragg for restaurants or shopping. We went to the Sea Pal Cove down at the Harbor .It was fun to sit out on the restaurant's outside dining watching the fishing boats come while we enjoyed lunch. Hope to get back soon!

Cute Cottage in Great Location next to MacKerricher State Park
Great location on quiet street near park, short of 1/2 mi. to beaches. There were a few tiny fix-it issues but nothing to interrupt your stay. Do recommend bug spray as mosquitos in eve. MacKerricher Parks has lots to offer artists, birders, fishermen, kayakers, hikers, and bike riders with a fresh water lagoon, paths along the beach, on a boardwalk to seal rocks and through coastal meadows to 10 mi. of protected dunes that are Plover habitat. Found great restaurants in Fort Bragg equal or better to those in Mendocino. Communication with owner was hit and miss but caused no problems to detract from the vacation. We had asked for 2 keys but were only left one. We could not make bedroom TV work and asked for directions once there, but were never given them. There were 2 other TVs so it caused no hardship.The restaurant he gives in directions is no longer there so recommend: As you head north from Fort Brag take the left turn right after the entrance to MacKerricher State Park. The backyard does not have an enclosed fence and our dog kept wanting to take off out the back so we were glad we had brought a large pen that worked easily at the bottom of the back deck ramp over the paved driveway. Overall, we highly recommend this vacation spot!
