Oceanfront Haven - Hot Tub & Private Beach Access

Summary:

Shell Seeker

Host all your friends or bring the whole family, sleeps 14 - to this five-bedroom dream home with its open floor plan within walking distance to one of the most popular beaches on the Mendocino Coast. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide incredible views. Shell Seeker enjoys private access to Seaside Beach just steps away and known for abundant sand dollars.



The Space:

This solar powered one-level home has a fresh bright feel, while letting the beauty of the ocean speak for itself. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide incredible panoramic views of the ocean, beach, mountains and forest. The large living room has amazing views and is open and inviting with a giant sectional sofa, gas fireplace, big screen TV and is connected to the large open kitchen and dining area, table seating for eight. The 14-foot kitchen island means there's enough space for everyone with seating for six additional people on the bar stools while the cook gets to participate in the fun.



There is plenty of room for all to congregate and spread out. The enormous deck wraps around the entire backside of the house, and there's a table overlooking the beach perfect for dinner while catching the sunset or just sitting on the Adirondack chairs and watching the waves roll in. Soak in the private hot tub overlooking the beach and enjoy panoramic views. Shell Seeker is a great place to relax and as our guests' reviews say – the view and location is stunning!



There are two main bedrooms on opposite ends of the house with fantastic views from the floor-to-ceiling windows and queen size beds. Two of the other bedrooms also have ocean views and queen-size beds with another bedroom having two twin beds that the kids will love. Two additional sofa beds provide extra sleeping spaces. Shell Seeker has central heat too! There's also a popular game room with Ping-Pong and Foosball tables to satisfy your competitive edge, or just relax and play one of the many puzzles or card and board games available. Shell Seeker offers satellite cable TV and DVDs to keep everyone entertained when the sun sets on another wonderful day at the beach. Shell Seeker also has StarLink High Speed Internet, perfect for streaming, Zoom Meetings, and social media.



The Neighborhood:

MacKerricher Beach State Park, Ten Mile Beach with horseback riding, seal and whale watching, tide pooling, hiking and more are a short drive south. Enjoy whale watching at our favorite Pacific Star Winery located on the ocean bluffs three miles north. The heart of downtown Fort Bragg is just nine miles south, where you can take a scenic ride on the Skunk Train through the redwoods, tour the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens or enjoy seafood dining and shopping. Nine miles further south is the charming village of Mendocino offering many shops, restaurants and art galleries.

Lovely house, beautiful location, comfortable beds, ok stocked kitchen. Bathroom - had nice shampoos and body wash. Only one refrigerator, so limited space for large groups. Bring ice chest for drinks. Limited house hold supplies, we only had 2 rolls of paper towels for 10 people for 5 days. Maybe 8 laundry pods, and dryer sheets, No cleaning products, or bathroom air freshener/ Febreze. We ran out of trash bags, Game room is nice, needs better lighting. Smells musty. Beautiful view! Short walk to beach!

The Best Ever!

I'm not sure I can summarize. It was amazing!! The house was beautiful and perfect for my family of 10. It was sparkling when we arrived. The view was fantastic! We had a bit of an issue with the number lock, but help was immediate, caring, and effective. We can't wait to stay there again!!

The house is a perfect Fort Bragg retreat for a large family. It’s located in a quiet kids friendly neighborhood with direct access to a beautiful beach. It’s well maintained and clean. And views are even better than on the pictures.

Definitely saving for future trips!!!

We loved our stay here. The house was so clean and had all the essentials we could need. We received a text a couple hours before our check in time that the house was ready and we could check in early. That was such a great surprise. We enjoyed the hot tub in the mornings. Loved watching the waves and even spotted some deer in the hills behind the house. Only thing I would warn future guests is to check high and low tides before going to the private beach down the street. We went out and climbed down the steps just as tide was getting very high, could get dangerous if not paying attention. Overall the house is amazing. The property manager is doing a great job and we will definitely be back and will be recommending to our friends and family!

Loved this place!

The location was the real winner. The relaxing sounds of the ocean were everywhere. The comfort of the house and well stocked kitchen (utensils, dishes, spices, etc) and use of the grill made mealtime easy. Our entire crew of adult siblings enjoyed ourselves and are already talking of returning-)

Great location for a family gathering

My family gathering of 12 people stayed at this house over the holidays and had a very enjoyable time. The house easily accommodated our large group of adults and kids in the 5 bedrooms. The game tables in the garage were a huge help with the kids. A lot of table tennis and foosball was played. The kitchen is well appointed and was great for socializing while cooking big meals. The views were great and the exterior spaces of the house were comfortable and welcome, especially the hot tub. The proximity to the beaches, local parks, and Fort Bragg were critical too. Lots do on foot or with a short drive.

Beautiful Views & Fun Accommodations

We loved the location and the privacy of this home. We felt safe riding our bikes or taking a short walk to the private access gate to the beach! The house was fully stocked with everything we needed for slow mornings that called for making coffee and breakfast. The views this home offered were our favorite thing about this home. We also thoroughly enjoyed the garage. Spending hours every evening around the ping pong and foosball tables laughing and creating memories as a family. The houses beds and bedding were a little dated and the garage had a weird smell that we negated by opening the side door but we’ve stayed in places with much larger complaints. We would definitely come back to this little oasis again!!

Incredible views

The views are what "make" this property! We appreciated the 5 sleeping spaces-- however because of the way the house is set up, 2 rooms have their own bath and 3 need to share!...bedding could be upgraded which would make this property ideal instead of "good" ... also hot tub was not working and we were not made swats of this until we arrived-- that was disappointing....
