Mendocino Dunes - Sand Dollar

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The Sand Dollar, one of four cabins in the Mendocino Coast Dunes Retreat, can be rented together with the other three cabins or separately as a great place to stay during your amazing vacation. With a dog-friendly attitude and a comfortable interior, everyone will love it here!

Located right next to the dunes, about seven miles north of Fort Bragg, this vacation rental is in a great position for you to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The ocean is just over a half-mile away (though you will have to hike over some sand dunes), and MacKerricher State Park, well-known for its hiking trails and seal-watching, stretches to the south of this vacation home.

With one bedroom and one bathroom, this home can sleep up to six people, and is also dog-friendly. With a queen bed in the bedroom and two fold-out futons, a close-knit family or group of friends will be very comfortable here.

In the living room, you will find a large TV equipped with cable and a DVD player, plus board games and a lovely gas fireplace. You will also have a private laundry area, so there's no need to worry if your clothes get a little dirty during your vacation. Complimentary WiFi is also available.

Outside, you will discover a private deck and firepit. You will love roasting some marshmallows at the end of a fun-filled day.

This would be a fabulous cabin to rent on its own, or you could combine with family members, friends, coworkers, or others and rent all four cabins for a large event! With Fort Bragg 10 minutes south, and Mendocino about 25 minutes down the road, you will be surrounded by the beauty of nature but still close enough to the conveniences of the city.

THINGS TO KNOW
The WiFi can be spotty at times and may not be dependable for remote work or streaming.
The oven is not available for use.
The local area is in its drought season. We ask you to use the water very sparingly, as this home is on a well, and to be mindful of the situation and conserve as much water as possible.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the nightly pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting "Yes" to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The nightly fee ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.

Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!

Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”).

The location was beautiful and the house was nice, except that it hasn't been maintained. The hearing doesn't work and it took 8 hours to get the house up to 60 degrees inside using the space heaters. The dishwasher works, but it's missing all the wheels on the lower rack. There is a hot tub, but it didn't work. The microwave trips the breaker when you use it. The clothes washer works, but the handle for the soap dispenser is broken. There is a long list of stuff just like that. Overall, we had a good time, but having everything be broken was disappointing. It was also pretty clean, but a few dishes in the cupboards were dirty. Not really a big deal, but it completes the picture. The bed were very comfortable, there was plenty of space, and there is a nice, fenced and grassy back area for the dog. The location is stellar, and the house is pretty inside. I would rent it again in a heart beat and consider it a steal if all the little broken things were fixed.

2/10 Terrible

Better places available.
The converted carport was adequate. Home and amenities are not in that great of shape. Dryer not working, fridge sounded like it’s on its last legs. With the fireplace either on 90* or off the space heaters were necessary to keep chill out of the air. A little work and TLC would make this a great place. Vacasa was horrible to work with. Customer service was nothing about the customers. Vacasa doesn’t really mean “just call if we can assist”. Checking to add a Sunday night or a later check out wasn’t even considered. The rep put me on hold for quite awhile while he obviously didn’t check with owner/agent. A quick check on line for availability verified it. We hadn’t even mentioned all the stuff not working yet. Will watch for improvement posts and be extra aware so we don’t need to ask Vacasa for anything before we consider a return.

First visit to Fort Bragg
Property is well used but nicely maintained. Location was perfect for us; close to all beaches and parks, towns but far enough that we didn't have the hustle of tourists and traffic. I would stay again in a heartbeat. There's so much beauty and nature left to visit.

Great little home
Usually we just stay in a hotel this time we rented a house it's was a little farther from the ocean area we like but well worth it not being in a hotel. Cute quiet area that me and my family enjoyed.
