Unforgettable Waterfront Home with Private Hot Tub and Spectacular Ocean Views

Tideaway

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

TIDEAWAY, OCEAN HIDEAWAY TIDEAWAY is located down a private lane just under a mile from Fort Bragg and a short, straight drive south to the quaint village of Mendocino. Step out of your car, take a deep breath, and be prepared to relax. There is nothing like the fresh salty sea air!  

Expect to be awed by the spectacular panorama of ocean views as you step into TIDEAWAY, your ocean hideaway. This “Frontier Redwood Home” features walls of fine old-growth redwood. The spacious open floor plan faces a wall of windows to the vast Pacific Ocean. There is an ocean view from every room! Visitors find themselves unwinding and relaxing while watching the relentless motion of the sea. The gas fireplace provides cozy warmth as guests settle into the comfortable seating. Enjoy reliable, wireless, high-speed internet and Xfinity TV that allows you to stream your favorites on the Smart TV. There is a DVD collection featuring movies filmed right on the Mendocino Coast. A second TV is located in the master bedroom. There is also a table for games and puzzles.

The large updated kitchen has high-end appliances, including a refrigerator with ice maker, range with convection oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffeemaker, toaster oven, blender, food processor, hand mixer, and even a popcorn maker. The well-stocked kitchen contains all the essential herbs, spices, oils, condiments, quality cookware and bakeware, and essential sharp knives. There are some fresh herbs just out the front door. The Weber Grill is located on the covered east porch just a few steps from the kitchen. Shopping is only a 5-minute drive to Harvest Market for your fresh local food. The coast also offers fantastic restaurants. Sample menus are in our guidebook.

The master features a large walk-in shower and a Corian integrated counter height sink. The spacious bathroom looks out on the private garden area to the south. The huge picture window allows the guests to lie in bed and watch the ever-changing ocean from the luxury of their comfortable bed. 

Lists year-round festivals: crabs, salmon, mushrooms, seaweed, whales and more. There is always something happening year-round on the rugged Mendocino Coast.

With the spotting scope, you might see the Harbor Seal draped on a rock just off Botanical Garden Bluff or watch fishing boats. Seasonal whale watching, sea birds including brown pelicans, seagulls, Canadian geese, oystercatchers, and more can be seen. You might even be lucky enough to witness an Osprey catching a fish in the surf below. Feel adventuresome? Charter boats are available out of Noyo Harbor, and you can enjoy your own fresh catch of the day for dinner. Watch sunsets from the dining room windows that were added to allow even closer 180+ degree unobstructed views.

The private four-person hot tub on the bluff offers a sensational ocean escape. The hypnotic motion of the waves helps to increase a sense of calm and peacefulness. Guests agree that it is hard to leave TIDEAWAY, YOUR OCEAN HIDEAWAY.

Sorry, but no access to the tide pools due to bluff erosion. Not suitable for children.

Whatever your pleasure, a stay at this gorgeous, updated oceanfront Northern California vacation rental is sure to be a delight!

Our Third Time staying here
This offers everything you need. The kitchen has all that you may need. It is very peaceful. You fall asleep listening to the Ocean. There is a hot tub available. We have never used it. The only prob.em we hac was using the code to open the door. I suggest they install a new one that wor,ks better.

Very nice property
The only criticism is the size of the shower. It's very small, maybe 32" x 32" or 36" x 36". Didn't bother me, but my wife had difficulty.

Beautiful views but needs maintenance
The views are beautiful and the location is very quiet and private. However, the home is not being maintained and updated in accordance with the prices being charged per night. The listing doesn’t tell you the two stairways down to the beach are both broken and taped off with caution tape. Also doesn’t tell you the only bedroom provided is one of three and has a window right next to the trash cans.

Beautiful Ocean View
My husband & I spent a decadent 10 days which included New Years. It stormed and rained the majority of the time. This house overlooks the ocean. It was hypnotizing watching the ocean waves during the storms and rain. We did lose power a few times but briefly. The gas fireplace kept us warm and toasty. The kitchen table worked out perfect for my jigsaw puzzle.

Fantastic Views
Home was very clean. Kitchen was very well stocked with pots/pans/plates/glasses/utensils. Fantastic views! Hot tub was excellent! Front yard garden was beautiful! Previous reviews are correct, the mattress is on the soft side, however I don't think it's old, I think it's just a soft mattress. Bring your own pillows. Shower is small, shower head is too big for the small shower and therefore sprays against the opposite wall and not down on your head. It's a hand held shower head and you have to hold it to shower.

Oceanfront views - a must stay home in Fort Bragg/Mendocino!
This home is an absolute treasure. This home is the ideal rental for anyone looking for a relaxing, low key getaway to the Fort Bragg/Mendocino area. The directions for finding the property could be a little better (Google maps was relaible until we got to the street of the property) but that is our only gripe - just head down the street until you can drive no further and you're there. The kitchen was well appointed, the home was warm and the jacuzzi overlooking the ocean is exactly as perfect as the pictures show. We would love to come back and stay at this gorgeous property!

Loved our stay!
We loved our stay at the Tideaway, waking up every morning to the waves and ocean right outside the widows was amazing. At night we used the hot tub and when it was clear we star gazed. The property itself is beautiful and has steps that lead down to the tide pools. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

Had a great time, presentation of accommodations was a bit different than listing.
Great place for laying back. Secluded, great ammenities, kitchen well stocked. Had some problem with dirty dishes when we went to use them and photos of view from bedroom were from a bedroom that was locked and no access. Two of the rooms that have spectacular viewing windows were locked and our room was a view through a very small window with the garbage bin in the foreground of the view, but views from living room are spectacular. The two coves you can go too are awesome to go down to during low tide to view tide pools and is totally private, as the landowner owns those two coves. Hot tub is nice, but jets are weak and some don't work. Too many can't do this and can't do that posted around the house and you are asked not to use the washer and dryer and we stayed there five days and only had placed out two towels. Loved the stay though and the price reflects some of the drawbacks, but would recommend for those who want to have a romantic secluded getaway and aren't picky people. Rather dangerous for young children with the two steep covers on each side. If you take young children, keep a very close eye on them, we kept a close eye on our granddaughter and she love the sunsets and the tide pools. Lots to do around Ft. Bragg and easy access from this home. Highly suggest a visit to the Botanical Gardens at the end of the entry to the road to the property. It is a large piece of property and nice natural flora has been used in the landscaping, extra treat.
