OCEANFRONT, BEACH & Coastline Views, Large Home, Lots of Windows, Amenities
LOCATION! BAY DREAM is a dramatic oceanfront home with whitewater views of the Pacific Ocean, Caspar Cove, headlands and Caspar Beach located just a few minutes drive north of MENDOCINO VILLAGE. YOUR MEMORABLE VACATION STARTS IN A MEMORABLE VACATION HOME! Bay Dream is the ultimate home for the total coastal experience. This contemporary home is light, and bright with lots of huge windows to appreciate the ever changing ocean. From BAY DREAM you can walk the trails along the headlands and down to the tide pools, or take a short stroll down to CASPAR BEACH (a 1/2 mile WALK or a 2 minute DRIVE to the SAND ), great for surfing and kayaking. You can rent kayaks and paddle boards at Caspar Beach. You can watch the WHALES migrating, and the SEA LIONS sun themselves from this exclusive peninsula, GATED on a private road where only a handful of homes have been allowed. Free HIGH SPEED INTERNET and great CELL SERVICE for Verizon users and good cell service for most other users. THE BACK YARD HAS A FENCE BUT CHILDREN SHOULD BE CLOSELY SUPERVISED WHEN OUTSIDE, AS HOUSE IS NEAR THE BLUFF. With its 5 BEDROOMS (rare for an OCEANFRONT vacation rental) and 2.5+ baths, 6 PERSON upper deck HOT TUB, LARGE, FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN area with abundant seating and all the amenities, BAY DREAM is the ultimate home for larger families or for special friends to experience a Mendocino DREAM Vacation! THE KITCHEN HAS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PREPARE GOURMET MEALS FOR A LARGE GROUP! One of the unique features of this home is its location CLOSE TO THE BLUFF. The ebb and flow of the tides pass right in front of BAY DREAM giving the house its own natural rhythm, a rhythm that seems to REPLENISH THE SOUL AND SPIRIT of those within. Many guests have commented on this phenomenon over the years along with their remarks of 'We did not want to leave'. Stay a few days at Bay Dream and see for yourself! This open concept, MULTI-LEVEL home with its HUGE windows, decks and large HOT TUB provide endlessly-changing views of breaking waves, A BLOW-HOLE, fishing boats, kayaks, windsurfers, surfers, sunsets, and abundant wildlife! The incredible wildlife entertainment include whales, sea lions, osprey, pelicans, and gulls swimming and soaring up close and personal! From the LARGE OPEN KITCHEN area you can VIEW the OCEAN with fishing boats, the BAY with kayaks and abalone-divers, and the BEACH with its surfers and paddle boarders; quite an entertaining panorama.

Very clean property right on ocean… loved the view and also communication with Debra. Only issue we had was with constant internet breakage but other than that everyone loved it.
One of the best houses we’ve ever stayed in. It was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The views and location added to the incredible experience.
Great home in a great location. We would highly recommend this home for a family or group of friends. Check in and out process was easy and we could not have asked for a better stay
Beautifull location and equally lovely house ! Very well equipped by the host and everything was neatly labelled and organized. We enjoyed our stay very much and will surely come back for a longer time.
While the house and it’s decorations are a little on the older side the views are timeless! This house has every possible thing 1 could ever want on vacation! Extra towels, pillows, blankets the accommodations were top-notch and would definitely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion thanks in large part to the beautiful home where we stayed. Bay Dream has lots of room for a large family, magnificent views, and a perfect Mendocino location. The house is immaculate, has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and provides a wonderful indoor/outdoor venue.
We have been visiting the Mendocino area for nearly 50 years; State parks, motels, B&B’s, and vacation homes.
This was our first time staying at BAY DREAM….Gorgeous views like we have never had before!!!! This home has everything our 3 generational family needed and more. We definitely will return!
My husband and I and our late-teen daughter spent mid-week in March. There were a couple of storms, which we loved watching from the many windows of the house, with a fire going in the fireplace. We did the hike to the waterfall in Russian Gulch State Park before the storms started. We also enjoyed the Mendocino Botanical Garden in Fort Bragg. We highly recommend a stay here.
Absolute perfection!! The host thought of every single detail you could imagine. Plenty of comfortable space that is so beautifully integrated into the outdoors. We can’t wait to stay here again!!
This property is just amazing! The house is simply stunning and the host thought of every possible need in advance. The views and access to natural areas were just incredible. We loved listening to the harbor seals, hiking, cooking and spending time indoors and out together. We can’t wait to return!
Ten of us were in town for a friend’s wedding and the property couldn’t have been better! Right in the cliff, the house has truly incredible views. Aside from the setting, the house is extremely well stocked, has great areas to cook and eat a big meal, and has easy access to amazing trails and downtown Mendocino or Ft Bragg. Even with ten of us, didn’t feel too crowded. Would highly recommend the property and would love to come back!
Wonderful views, very nice, comfortable, private & quiet, easy in and out, short drives to either Ft. Bragg or Mendocino and the spa was super!The property was definitely well stocked, not all bedrooms have ocean views, and we worked out the limited bathrooms issue for 10 people.We had a GREAT time. Thank you!!
Rented this house for my fathers 80th birthday and it was a home run. Amazing views of the cove and ocean. The back deck is perfect for a glass of wine or 3 with family watching the waves. The beach is about a mile down the road which is perfect for an after meal walk. All and all a perfect spot. Mendocino is only like 15 minutes away for nice dinners and shops.
Everything about this house is as it appears, and even better. The communication and directions were superb and is exactly as it appears in the photos, amazing! The house is well stocked and organized. We had everything we needed, and some things we didn't need. The location and the view is incredible and is close to Mendocino, shopping, and 10-15 minutes to Fort Bragg markets. We would love to stay there again!
We had the most incredible stay at Debby's beautiful ocean-view house. The views were breathtaking and the house was absolutely perfect. Debby was a wonderful host, always attentive and ensuring we had everything we needed. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly want, making our stay comfortable and relaxing. From the cozy interiors to the stunning views, it was the perfect getaway. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a tranquil and scenic retreat. Thank you, Debby, for making our stay so special!
Our large family group thoroughly enjoyed this lovely home! The view is outatanding, the amenities are boundless and the house is conveniently located. We ejoyed a morning run in the neighboorhood and the surrounding paths, hiking at the nearby state parks, golfing, shopping in Mendocino and many delicious meals at local restaurants. We did not get around to so many more activities, so we will need to return! Thanks Debby for sharing your beautiful home!
This property is a dream. Beautiful views. Deer right outside the door, we saw momma dear with fawn. Pregnant deer.
It's walking distance to Caspar Beach. Only a few minutes to Fort Bragg and Glass beach.
Kitchen is one of the best stocked for kitchen tools, pots, pans and just about any cooking you need. Spices and oils. Coffee pot and kreurig.
Beautiful designed and laid out. Was perfect for our family of 7. I can't say enought about this place. Will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Everything was great! It was a short weekend retreat for my office staff. The location was fantastic. The home was extremely well equipped. Debra's information was helpful and easy to follow. We are already talking about another booking for a longer period.
