About this cottage rental
We have a drop dead gorgeous view with a two bedroom bluff side rustic quirky cottage available with ocean, river and sand dune views from every room. Right out your front door there is private stair access to your very own boat house on the Ten Mile River. This river is a nature preserve that can be enjoyed by kayaks or canoe that will take you up river where wild life abounds or to the ocean where the seals, crabs and birds will provide many hours of enjoyment.
Bring your bikes, binoculars, swim suits and a good pair of walking shoes or just a good book!
This gem comes with a deck, small barbeque, comfortable rustic furnishings, flat screen TV with Blu-ray DVD and portable sound system (satellite radio). There is Wi-Fi giving you access to e-mail and the internet. There is a private bedroom with a queen-size bed and a spectacular sleeping alcove with floor to ceiling ocean views containing a second queen-size bed. Of course there is a full bath and fully equipped kitchen.
We call this treasure Seaside Serenity and it is about ten to fifteen minutes from Fort Bragg, close enough to enjoy great food and shopping yet far enough to provide total relaxation. Walk on the beach or through the dunes, be mesmerized by the waves or just lay on the deck with your favorite novel.
Well behaved dogs are welcomed and they are subject to a $100 one time pet fee. There is also a $125 cleaning charge per stay. We require a minimum three night stay for weekends and two nights during the week. If you want something special just ask!

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Dec 2025
The location, river/dunes/ocean view, and amenities can’t be beat! We played in the dunes and hunted for sea glass and shells with our two young boys for hours, just a short row from the backyard. We enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, and views out of every window and yard space. The beds are very comfortable and warm. We had magical days filled with many memories. Cathy was also super communicative and offered us suggestions for an awesome ocean bike path. The reason for the 4-star marking is the critters and smell of the water, which were not disclosed in the booking. I only later found comments about these when we searched low rated reviews. The water smelled like sulfer every time it was used, I’m sure due to the well; we just weren’t expecting it. There were spiderwebs, spiders, pill bugs, and ants in the house. We worked around it, but it was more than most expect. There was also evidence of old mouse droppings between the bed in the living room and the wall. These are all nothing a deep clean every couple of months can’t address. I would pay more for our booking if the funds went toward deep cleans of the house and more frequent pest treatments. We would definitely return, but more prepared for that part of the stay by bringing a sealed bin for our pantry food and hope that a good deep clean had taken care of webs and insects.

The location of the property is amazing! The boat house and kayaks were a blast. The fire pit, deck, chairs and grounds are second to none and my family loved it all.
Inside the house is a little too “rustic” for my taste. Needed to be cleaned better and there were a lot of mice droppings in every crevice. There was a lot of leftover food and condiments in the fridge/pantry and the mice are definitely eating those. I would recommend removing everything and doing a deep clean.
As noticed by several people the water had a sulfur smell. It makes taking a shower very hard to stomach. If it were my rental I would look into and fix this asap.
My family and loved the property and the location. We won’t return unless it is throughly cleaned and the water doesn’t smell bad.
Thanks!!
