Great peaceful vacation

The house was great! Well stocked home with plenty to do. The garden was beautiful as well as the wildlife! The garage games was a great way to unwind the days spent in the sun at the beach! Will definitely be booking there again!

Peaceful

Howard and Kelly own a beautiful and fully stocked home in Cleone, CA. We stayed Saturday through Monday and had a great time relaxing. I fell in love with the sunroom and flower garden in the backyard. We were greeted by 4 deer that were eating in the back. The house is clean, updated, peaceful and just up the road from a beach. The house is easily accessible, and communication was top notch. I would LOVE to stay in this home again in the future.

This is a lovely place. The house is spacious and welcoming. There were 6 of us and it felt like there would be room for 10 people. It's obvious the owners put in a lot of effort to ensure guests have whatever they need. The house was fully stocked. Everything was nice and clean. We played ping pong and air hockey, barbecued, and had a camp fire. There was one gotcha, though. The posting said the house is pet friendly, but it made no mention of an additional charge for bringing a dog. I didn't find out about that charge until after we had left. Hopefully by the time you are reading this they will have updated the posting to mention the pet fee.

This house is fabulous. Very clean. Great neighborhood. Kids became pros at ping pong in the garage. We loved the short walk to to the beach, and the quick trips to MacKerricher and Glass Beach. Thank you so much.

Everything you need and more!

Beautiful home! This has to be the cleanest beach property we’ve rented. Even for being a pet friendly property there was no indication of any pets previously. The gardens were gorgeous. The deer visited daily. Even a little frog greeted us the first night on the doorbell. The common area with the double doors on each wall were great for fresh air and ocean breeze. My daughter could not get enough of ping pong and pool. The amenities were plenty and the house very well stocked and so simple to navigate. A short 5 minute walk down to the bike trail. If I had one suggestion, it would be to add a dog water and food bowl. It was an amazing time. I look forward to our next stay. Thank you!!

Short walk to the beach

Had a wonderful relaxing time with our son and dog. Got up each morning and took the short 5 minute walk to the beach for a beautiful morning walk. House was clean, well stocked, and we had some pretty awesome ping pong battles. Backyard is beautiful and we ate dinner outside each night, roasted marshmallows and watched the deer at the back fence. Short drive into Fort Bragg. Overall a great stay.

Fort Bragg Gem!

What an amazing home! Not only was it absolutely spotless, but our hosts, Howard and Kelly, have thought of everything a guest might need and provided it! We cooked in the kitchen and had everything we needed. The house is bright and lovely. The backyard garden is beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the deer and the sunset. The home is within easy walking distance of the beach, and and less than five minutes from downtown Fort Bragg. We will definitely be staying here again! Highly recommend!

Coastal Getaway

This house was the perfect spot for a family getaway to the coast. The proximity to the beach was perfect. The house was as shown on line (if not better), and the house was comfortable, well stocked and the yard was gorgeous. The hosts were very responsive. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Excellent all around

This property, just north of the center of Fort Bragg, is perfect for 4-6 people. It's nicely and comfortably furnished and supplied with several areas to enjoy. We had meals in the fenced back yard, inside the house and also in the lovely sun room. Each morning we began with the short walk to the ocean where an easy path followed the coast. You are close to Big River kayaking, tide pooling just south and plenty of opportunities for hiking among the Redwoods. Our hosts Howard and Kelly kept in touch and all went smoothly. We would certainly recommend their place for a great experience.

Location location location!

It was so close to everything we wanted to do. The house was beautiful and had plenty for my teens to do. Plenty of towels, beds were comfy. Living room was super cozy. Was the perfect relaxing getaway. Only thing that wasn’t perfect (and out of anyone’s control) was that walls are thin and you can hear everything going on anywhere in the house. But we sent the teens to the game room or sun room and all was well noise level wise. Great experience!

My mom and I (and our two fur babies) stayed here for a girl’s getaway weekend and had a great time! The location to the beach couldn’t be better and the house had beach chairs, bikes and tons of games! Kelly and Howard were great at responding to emails and texts and were wonderful to work with.

Wonderful home with easy walk to beach!

We were fortunate to stay at North Coast Retreat for a whole month and everything we needed was right there. The home was very clean and spacious enough for our six family members. We ate breakfast every morning in the sunroom and often saw deer grazing. We walked to the beach (less than 10 min) every evening to watch the sunset. We made fires in the fire pit to roast hot dogs and make s' mores. We slept well each night in very comfortable beds. It was indeed a retreat from the cares of the world for us all!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly & Howard Royer

Host profile image
Howard and Kelly bought the North Coast Retreat several years ago and have been busy updating and enhancing the property. They live in the Bay Area and plan to use the property as a family vacation spot and private retreat upon retirement. The property and area provide them soul replenishment from busy lifestyles and work schedules. During hot summer days, the ocean breeze is refreshing/cooling and the clean air is beneficial during the bad air quality days now common in California during wild fire season.

Why they chose this property

The location is premium! Ward Avenue wraps along the ocean front with direct beach access in several areas. Many homes in the neighborhood are vacation rentals or family owned retreats. When there is fog in the downtown area of Fort Bragg or nearby Mendocino, the blue skies of this neighborhood are appreciated. The property is located outside of the city limits, with a rural type setting. The property has a detached cottage, which is sometimes rented. An RV site at rear of then property is for occasional use by owners; it has previously been rented on VRBO.

What makes this property unique

The home has a sun room that can be used as a game room with board games, dart board with darts, ping pong table with paddles and balls, ladder ball set, croquette, bocce ball, corn hole game, and beach toys provided for use. The property has a park like backyard that has deer, many varieties of birds, and other wildlife to watch daily. The home has a private gated back yard as well, with a deck, patio furniture, and a BBQ.
