Ocean-View Manor with Large Yard, Walk to Beach

Summary:

Dolphin Manor



The Space:

Enjoy the peace and quiet you’ve been longing for at this inviting ocean view house! The large and cozy back porch provides plenty of seating and is the perfect spot to kick back, relax and take in the hillside views. The large backyard is perfect for a volleyball or badminton game if guests bring their own net and ball. Gather in the living room area with your group and spend the afternoon eating snacks and playing board games. The fully-equipped kitchen and the dining area with enough seating for everyone are ideal to enjoy a tasty meal together before heading out to explore the large patio and surrounding area. Take a 5 minute walk to private Sunset Beach to revel in the beautiful rock formations. Bring a kite to fly, hunt for shells and sand dollars, build a fort out of driftwood, or just enjoy the stunning scenery of the Northern California Coast.



What’s nearby:

Just a five minute walk will take you to a private access gate and down the steps to Sunset Beach! Glass Beach is only eight and a half miles south and one of the most popular beaches nearby. It gets its name from the smooth colorful glass pieces that you can find there and that are illegal to remove! The Fort Bragg Coastal Trail is a 4.5 mile-long paved trail which offers incredible views of the ocean and is the perfect place to take a relaxing walk and enjoy the breeze. MacKerricher State Park offers plenty of outdoor activities including hiking, biking, and horseback riding, with facilities available for overnight camping. You can even book an excursion for coastal whale watching! North Coast Brewery is a renowned award-winning brewery and a local favorite you must visit. Dolphin Manor is located right by 10 mile river for kayak enthusiasts. A few miles north will get you to the Star Winery.

We were on a girl's trip, so we enjoyed the large house. The whole house is beautifully decorated in beach decor and has lots of room. The neighborhood is nice and quiet; we were able to go for walks and enjoy looking at the ocean.The location is great not too far from anything.The host was great with communication when we needed something.The only thing we wish we knew in advance was the no shoes in the house, we would have brought our slippers.In all it was great and we would stay there again

Amazing Home by the Beach

This house was the perfect location for our short trip to Fort Bragg. It has it's own private beach access, offers wonderful amenities, and was extremely clean. If you are looking for a great spot for your next trip, I highly recommend Dolphin Manor!

Great location and room for all

Dolphin Manor lived up to expectations. We have stayed in this neighborhood before, but needed a bigger place this time and Dolphin Manor was perfect. Lots of room to spread out, the beds were very comfortable, plenty of hot water for all 8 of us. The home IS slightly dated, the carpet had stains, but overall it was clean and comfortable for out stay.

Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. The pictures are accurate as it's a bit dated but spacious and has everything we needed. We enjoyed walking in the quiet neighborhood and down to the private beach. We even had sunshine which was the icing on the cake. Didn't mind the 10 minute drive into Fort Bragg business area.

It was very nice and relaxing. Enjoyed as everything described in listing. Easy drive to area attractions. Only negative was the back porch was very dirty. That said, we did mention it to the property manager and they offered to come and clean it. Would definitely stay again.

Serene, Clean, and Comfortable

This is a beautiful , well maintained and well appointed property. We loved eating on the deck where we were keeping company with the nesting swallows. Wildlife viewing in the yard’s large meadow included birds , deer, and a fox. The quiet location near Seaside Beach was great for our 3 generation family.

Not like picture outside at all,everything is "brown", yard maintenance is not a thing at this property. Inside very outdated and bathroom grout show signs of molding, bathroom floor is "squishy" . Directions to "short walk beach" unable to find, not well marked. Home is roomy and well stocked. Was a pleaseant stay, location to Noho Harbor was our key for this stay.

Very nice house in a very nice location. We enjoyed beach combing, long walks, watching the pelicans and. listening to the surf at night. Has a well equipped kitchen, but had trouble with oven on our last day. It was late so we did not bother to contact property manager.

Neat but dated, poor wifi

The property is neat and surfaces are clean, good kitchen set up. It's very quiet, easy access to the beach and easy to find. The outdated stove top, mildewy washer and poor wifi was a dissappointment. The third bathroom is in the garage, super funky and in cold weather would be a problem to use. Would not stay there again unless the appliances are updated and wifi issue are resolved.

Great location

Our group of two small families really enjoyed our stay at this house. The highlight was the location and private beach. I’m not sure if it’s listed on the online page, but there are a lot of stairs getting down to the beach. It worked great for our group but anyone with mobility issues might need to drive to another beach. The house was as described with a well stocked kitchen. We did have Internet connection issues while we were there. The management was very quick in replying to us about it. There were quite a few dead bugs throughout the house and we let management know to address that with their house cleaners before the next renters stay there.

Bed bugs, stinky, itchie couch, bed. Sheets, towels abd carpet. I came home with bits on my legs and seen a doctor when i came home and got creams to kill scabbies and cream for the bits of the bed bugs. I spent 1800 for 4 nights for pests to feed off me. My sister also had bits from the stay. Never again will i go through virbo, vaccasa, or stay at this bed bug infested house. Very disappointing a d i hope to god i did not bring any home with me. I had to spendso much money upon returning home for the doctor appointment and bug infestation prevention of my home. Vacation from hell.
