Inaccurate online listing

The online photos are old. The cottage is very rundown, especially outside. Wood handicap ramp had wrotten wood, gas Bbq was rusted and inoperable, firepit was right next to a large eucalyptus tree so unsafe to light. inside wasn’t as clean as you would want. Walls were dirty, pots and pans old, hair inside bathroom drawer. Advertised washer and dryer which were not on site. We only stayed one night out of 7. Felt it was unsafe and not clean enough.

House was perfect for our needs. We liked that it was close to the beach and not that far from town. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was pretty well stocked. I would stay here again.

It was nice to escape the heat and we hope to be back. My daughters loved all the people riding horses past the house and the beach was a short walk.

Comfy Cottage in Great Location

This cottage is wonderfully located within a 1/2 mile of MacKerricher State Park with free access to beautiful beaches and trails. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and well appointed with everything needed for our 6-day stay with our dog. Master bedroom bed was great, and it was convenient to have 1-1/2 baths. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch and around the fire pit. (Note that the cottage doesn’t have access to washer and drier as noted in the listing.) The cottage is also just a 5-min drive to Fort Bragg’s downtown with all the necessary services, including fun shops and a variety of restaurants. Staying here really added to our Fort Bragg stay.

Great Location

Overall the house is fine. A few little things would make it more enjoyable.The kitchen cookware could use updating, the gas grill is rusted, and the firepit's location is hazardous to people and the trees.The front bedroom bed has no support.A few little fixes and the spot would be grand.

Our 2nd stay @ Sandy Clove Cottage. We had a wonderful time, despite a cold start. We had no heat when we arrived. With that, we had the privilege of meeting our host Bob. He came to our rescue & got the heat going for us. Such a very nice man. Thank you Bob. Even with all that, we very much enjoyed our stay. Can't wait to return. Beautiful cottage. Walk to the beach everyday. Listen to the ocean. Sit on the porch & watch people & wildlife pass by. So very enjoyable.Tim & Leilani

Great Get Away

Great location....cottage has just about everything you need. Gas fireplace was delightful. We had a very relaxing stay. The first bedroom mattress was a tad uncomfortable/old but we made due. Being able to hear the ocean, ride bikes or walk to the beach, and get to town in min are a huge plus!!
