#7 REEKED of mildew and chemicals--it was so strong that I bought some air disinfectant, opened up coffee bags etc. to get the smell out--which didn't work. It was clean but the smell was overpowering--a person with allergies would be seriously compromised. for $200 a night you should be able to breathe easily!!

Needs upgrade

We had difficulty with getting the access code for our room - finally received at the last minute which added stress to our vacation. Appreciated the pet friendly nature but the cottage (#2) was a bit rundown. Although it visually looked clean the most challenging part was very strong smell of mildew in the cottage that didn’t go away even after we tried airing it out. So bad I could taste it and wouldn’t have stayed except was a quick overnight stay on long roadtrip home. The location was okay - not great. The bed was decently comfortable. Several of the remotes need new batteries so not able to work the fireplace. Overall the place had feel of rundown and needing an upgrade!

The weed whacking at 8am both Saturday and Sunday morning was not the peaceful experience we expected. The outside of the property hasn’t been maintained and needs up keep. It was very impersonal with no front desk person.

I spent one night here with my dog while on a road trip. The bed and pillows were soooo comfy after driving 8 hours. Great water pressure and hot water. Cast iron in the kitchen! All the little touches were appreciated plus being able to walk my dog around the property. Staff were very responsive and kind as well. I wish I could have stayed longer because it was such a relaxing vibe. I would definitely stay again if in the area.

Need to improve

One star for the location and price. We stayed at family room. We could hear almost everything from next room. The water pipes were so loud that I was woken up a few times at night and in early morning. The bathroom was in poor condition. It only had a shower, no tub. The paint was peeling off the wall in places, the wood floor was buckling, and there was black mould in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable, despite I found some chips in it. There was no management at the office. We had to call them to check in and check out.

Disappointing! I stayed at this property before and it was cute and very well maintained. Now, the grounds are in terrible condition, weedy, unkept, and uninviting. Never received a txt with an entry code, had to ask another guest who said we needed to call one of the faded numbers on the office door. I found it was strange there was no manager onsite because clearly the property is neglected. Room 9 has a huge moisture problem, bubbled ceiling and an intolerable mildew smell. Condensation between the window panes never went away. The shower didn't drain and when it finally did there were disgusting orange blobs of something around the drain. I wouldn't use it. No smoke alarm present in the unit which was again, strange. On the positive side the bed was comfy, the towels ample, and the unit was very clean. It seems like housekeeping is the only party doing a good job in keeping the place running. I'm sorry for the bad review but it's honest.

We love staying here! This will be our third time. Cottages were clean. Pet friendly. Items for your fur baby is given. Our request for early check in is always met. Close to all the beaches and downtown Fort Bragg. Love the fireplace for the cooler nights. Easy access in and out of the property. Mini kitchen w sink, microwave, toaster oven, plates untensils, bowls cups, etc. Provided. Own parking space. We will definitely be back next year.

great little cottage

The original door code did not work. I called, and it was immediately rectified. The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The fireplace was a plus. The only bummer was that the jets in the spa tub did not work, but no biggie. We will definitely stay here again when in the area

A great place to stay

We have stayed here before and really like it . It’s an old Motor court . We do know it’s old and that’s part of its charm . However, The toilet in cottage 3 runs often . I know how to jiggle the handle but after it flushes, we have to keep doing it . I also mentioned to housekeeping that I saw a few ants . ( She was very attentive - always glad to help ) I do not hold that against them . It was very clean, very comfortable ands great Location and we’ll probably stay here again .

The cottages were strange. The property was neglected, with no manager on site. The cottage was fairly clean, quiet and it did have a full size fridge and gas range. The door lock keypad was scratched up so badly, that you couldn't read any numbers. It had some really pretty landscaping, but it was all overgrown and full of weeds. The area was a bit sketchy and access was challenging, being on Highway 1. It didn't have the same vibe that it had in the photos. Ha.

State did not go as planned

We booked the lighthouse room for a beach getaway for our anniversary. We were traveling with our dog so that was one of the reasons we chose Shoreline cottages, when we arrived, we received a text with the code to open our room and we proceeded to open the room, but we found that there was already another person staying in it, and they told us that they would be there for the next two days. We called the office and they told us there was only one room available and we could take it or they would help us find another room somewhere in town. We accepted the room. It was different than the room that we thought we were getting it was much smaller, but it was clean. The office manager told us that they would refund 50% of our stay because of the mixup, we agreed to stay two nights, but we have not been given a refund as of yet the room was clean and functional but very small for two people and a dog. The bed was fairly comfortable and the shower had good water flow. We did bring food with us and woke up the next morning to a lot of ants so we had to throw out all of the food that we brought. We never use the hot tub, but it looked nice.
