About this cottage rental

Just a few minutes from Mendocino and Fort Bragg, Windrift Cottage is a perfect headquarters for your Mendocino Coast vacation. However, with all the home has to offer, you may be tempted never to leave the property.
A private but rugged path right off the backyard drops down to a secluded beach where you can spend the day in the sun and surf or elect to cozy up next to the fireplace and take in dinner and a movie before retiring to the hot tub with a panoramic view of the Pacific.
Enjoy the simplistic peace of Windrift's intimate, studio-style layout, with a leather sofa next to a gas fireplace, a wide-screen television with cable and DVD collection, a pillow-topped queen bed, and a small kitchen (mini fridge, two-burner stove, but no oven) with a high lounge-type table.
Please note: There is parking for one car only. - No children are allowed at this location, and although Windrift is pet-friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only, with a maximum number of no more than 1
Windrift Cottage is an experience you won't want to end. Visit our website to see all the photos and details.

We had the most incredible stay at the Windrift Cottage. While the listing photos are great, they truly don’t do justice to just how romantic and peaceful this place actually is.The entire property is set up for total relaxation. We spent our mornings enjoying the fresh ocean air and walking down the cove, and spent the chilly evenings either soaking in the heated hot tub or curled up by the cozy fireplace. It felt like our own private oasis. If you are looking for a quiet, romantic getaway to unplug and recharge, this is the perfect place.The surrounding area boasts plenty of activities. Whether you enjoy the charm of nearby Mendocino, the accessible nature reserves, or a lively night out at the Skunk Train's Glen Blair Bar, you will always find something to do.We cannot recommend it enough and are already looking forward to coming back!

Great place, great views! We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. It was a good location between Mendocino and Fort Bragg. Loved the hot tub to relax in after long days. Would definitely stay again.

This is a lovely property and charming cottage. We enjoyed our stay very much. You should expect to unplug from internet and cell phones and just relax in the very peaceful, beautiful, ocean beach cottage experience. The view is amazing and the private beach is easily accessible.

Two minor things: the toaster oven didn't heat properly and could have used a more detailed instruction on operating the streaming/dvd set-up. Otherwise we would happily stay there again.
