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.

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.

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.

Basic Beach Crash Pad
The property is as advertised. Nothing Fancy but clean with all the things you need. It could use a coat of paint, and some updated furniture which would go a long way in making it a bit more comfortable & inviting. It feels a bit like the guest house that time forgot, but again nothing wrong with the place just a bit tired & dated.

It was perfect for us
It was cute and clean had everything that we needed. I love the location walking distance to 10 mile beach. We stayed here to celebrate my boyfriend’s 40th birthday, we we’re excited that this was a pet friendly house and we got to bring our doodle. We enjoyed our evenings by the fire pit.

Perfect Private getaway
We loved our stay, there is a fenced backyard and a bonus private yard for guests who have dogs. It will be even better when the hot tub is back up and running. Fireplace works great, big kitchen, and bonus sunroom. Would love to rent again.

Cute and affordable.
This is a very cute and spacious getaway. It’s a little north of Fort Bragg so you have to plan unless you don’t mind driving back and forth. The home was clean and comfortable. Very quiet location. Great for kids and dogs. 6 adults would not sleep comfortably here. But excellent for a family. Concrete floors do bring slippers. Heaters provided made it very cozy. We planned accordingly for not cooking anything but bagels in the toaster oven. They are replacing the stove. The futons worked so I think they replaced those. Lots of bedding and towels provided. We loved it!

Fix it.
The ceiling fan was extremely dusty. Futon in main living area broke as hell. Dining chairs falling apart. The oven still does not work and now the burners don’t. It’s a great place if some money were invested I. The basics.

Not quite perfect
The location was just want we wanted, size of the house and property was perfect. Only complaints:1) the stove didn't work so we brought a gas BBQ to cook and used a 2 burner counter top warmer to cook other foods 2) The futon/couch in living room had a broken back support so it would fall back if you sat on one half of the couch and the seat had a big tear across it. If they fix these 2 problems I would give the Sand Dollar 5 stars.

Below expectations
First of all, the app didn’t provide lockbox code until way over an hour after check in time, but “fortunately” our arrival was delayed. On our arrival we found out stove top was not functioning, management failed to inform us prior to our booking and arrival. Closet and all storing compartments were dusty and dirty, we had to drive to the store and purchase cleaning supplies and clean that on our own. Some plates and spoons missing.. fortunately it was just the three of us but the house is listed for more guest than that. Management refunded us for “loss of amenities” (no cook top) and provided a hot plate but that hardly makes up for it. The neighbor’s dog kept coming in the yard to defecate/harass our family dog. On the morning of our departure the heater in the bathroom and the microwave mysteriously stopped working (no power) so there you go. Besides all that, cute house, awesome location.. I guess we just were not lucky, it wasn’t the first time we stayed at this house and we always had a great time.. we hope for better quality next time.
