Dog-friendly cabin with park & beach access - fireplace & firepit

Mendocino Dunes - Dune Flower

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

The Dune Flower, one of four cabins in the Mendocino Coast Dunes Retreat complex, is a great place for a small group to stay, though it can also be rented together with the other three houses for a fun-filled group vacation! This cabin has a charming nautical theme, a clean and comfortable design, and a dog-friendly attitude, so everyone will love it here! Up to four people are may stay in this one-bedroom, one-bathroom home which features a full-size bed in the bedroom and a comfortable fold-out futon. Feel free to bring your dogs to enjoy the vacation with you, though a nightly fee per dog and minimum fee per stay will apply. With a delightful nautical theme, you will feel very welcome in the living area, which comes complete with a TV, a DVD player, free WiFi access, and a cozy gas fireplace. There is no full kitchen, but the kitchenette offers a mini-fridge with a freezer, a microwave, a toaster oven (but no regular oven), and a small two-burner hot plate so you can whip up a snack easily.

In the grassy backyard area, privacy fencing will keep you separate from the other cabins. A nice deck area with seating and a firepit nearby is a great place to sit in the evening, telling stories, relaxing in the cool sea air, and roasting a few marshmallows on the fire. This cabin would be a lovely place for a small family or a few friends to spend a nice vacation, though it would also be wonderful to rent all four cabins at the same time and invite all your loved ones! With the beach nearby, the beauty of nature surrounding you, and towns within a short drive away, you may never want to leave. With a fun theme, this ship-shape cabin is a comfortable place to stay during your vacation!

Located about seven miles north of Fort Bragg, this home is just over half a mile from the sparkling ocean; though if you want easy beach access, you may want to drive to MacKerricher State Park, because the walk from the cabin over the dunes is a bit hilly.

THINGS TO KNOW
The WiFi can be spotty at times and may not be dependable for remote work or streaming.
The privacy fencing is not completely fenced.
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 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 pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.

Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!

Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out.

My single vacation
Cabin itself was clean, a couple of cobwebs. Outside patio, chairs, windows, and skilights could have been cleaner. Futon was really uncomfortable to sit on. Marking to find cabin needs to be more clear in directions. Overall, nice for short stay.

Beautiful and quaint but not when it’s raining
The house was adorable and perfect for our relaxed little family of four and fur kids. We are easy going and really don’t need too much. With that said it was a rainy weekend and the walk from our vehicle to the house was extremely wet, socks, shoes, bottom of pants soaked. A nice little stepping stone walkway would be awesome. But unlike the rest of my family I packed rain boots and didn’t have an issue. The area was serene the hike to the beach definitely a crows mile, we didn’t ever end up making it there as the kids gave up and we turned around and ended up driving to the beach. We definitely would stay there again.

Just as pictured
The home was very cute with a nice and quiet location. It was nice to have a spacious open layout. The Wi-Fi was extremely spotty and the bathroom door was a collapsible panel type, so make sure you’re comfortable with you’re staying with lol. The trek through the dunes to the private beach was just that, a trek, but it was worth it when we got there with no one else around. Extremely nice to have dishes and a full fridge/freezer plus the microwave and a toaster oven. The bedroom was pretty compact but comfortable. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay and we would come back again.

Cute place - dog friendly
This place was cute but I should have paid better attention when booking. Bed was full size. Bathroom door was a flimsy thin plastic accordion door that didn’t latch all the way…didn’t leave much to the imagination. Quite a few spiders and spiderwebs on walls and low ceiling around the bed. Also checkout was pretty early… 10 am. On a better note: fridge/freezer worked great, yard area was very nice, internet worked well, it was very quiet, they provided fans for air movement/white noise at night. Probably wouldn’t return but it wasn’t too bad.

Nice little cabin in the woods, but not a dog beach
This was a cute little place for a single or small group to stay. The location is close to 10 Mile Beach, although it requires a hike across dunes to get to the beach itself. Plan your walking route with care--some routes are better than others. I realized after the fact that dogs were not allowed on this beach, an important consideration for those staying at this dog friendly lodging. I suspect that most dog owners booking this unit are expecting a beach walk...There is a spacious lawn for dog potty breaks but no fenced-in area and all outdoor activities require a leash. The decor is a bit kitschy but the cabin is cozy and bed comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied, just be aware there is a hot plate and toaster oven instead of the full appliances. The tap water tastes great! There is a smell to the place upon arrival--a bit musty or like moth balls? It either dissipated two days in or I became used to it.

Beautiful Get Away!
Loved our stay at the sweet Dune Flower Cabin. All the amenities were there for our family of three, and our pooch. I have a small disagreement with the advertising, as the hot tub and fire pit were listed as part of the vacation rental. I was quite surprised by our itemized bill of the hidden fees of the hot tub (which we didn't use, due to the high chlorine content), and owners fees. I would have appreciated these fees to be listed within the nightly rental amount. If the amount were increased of the featured nightly rate, due to these fees I would have made my plans accordingly. Furthering, this note, is the advertisement of dog-friendly beach. It is not, as dogs are not allowed on the beach, due to the bird sanctuary maintained by the Audubon Society there. We would like to say, thank you for your cabin, and our pleasant stay we enjoyed our get away together!

Too expensive for what was offered
I love the Fort Bragg area either camping, B/B, or the hotels at Pudding Creek. I thought this rental would be a great find, but the expense of the rental, service fee, cleaning fee, taxes, etc... was greater than what the rental is worth. The dishes and pans were dirty. The nonstick skillets could not be used due to damage. The hot plate and electric skillet were dirty and oily (the only way to cook since there is not a stove/oven). The bed, a "Queen" is more like a double. The futon was uncomfortable to sleep on since the mattress was so thin. The spa had a thick, oily tan substance around the waterline. The propane stove/heater took 24 hrs to work, we followed all the instructions. The TV/DVD/VHS was not functioning, it took 30 mins to troubleshoot the problem. Lights did not work or were burned out. No garbage tote was left to put out the trash. The screen door to the patio was stuck between the wood sliding doors so it could not be used and the slider was stuck. The instructions inside the rental did not match the rental itself (codes were wrong). The bathroom has a small toilet and shower, which for most people causes some difficulty. There is only a plastic slide partition so there is not privacy, you can hear everything, does not close correctly, and about 2" of space at the bottom. Doors, knobs, and drawers throughout rental were difficult to maneuver. We attempted to notify VaCasa, but were on hold for > 15 mins and the landline lost it's charge. No cell service at times or unreliable. The one gem, the area is quiet and secluded from the other homes. FYI, not a paved road so don't wash your car first and it is a considerable walk via the sand dunes to the beach...better to drive.

Where is the beach.
You can’t walk to beach. Bed was smaller than a double and hard as a rock. Patio furniture was badly rusted and not inviting. TV broken no cable. Very clean but many things were worn out. Too much money for what we got.

Dune Flower
My spouse and I, along with our two dogs. stayed a couple of nights at Dune Flower cottage. We had everything we needed to prepare simple meals. It was cozy and very clean. There was a nice lawn to play with our dogs. The wifi was great so we stayed connected. There are beautiful dunes to explore behind the cottages but no dogs allowed in the dunes and it is quite a trek if you plan on getting to the beach there. Hidden Beach is just up the road and a great place to take your dogs! We had a lovely time in Fort Bragg and Mendocino. I would recommend these cottages located on a quiet lane.

We had sunshine and we had rain and enjoyed all aspects of the beach and weather. Toured the lighthouse, did Trees of Mystery and the aquarium. Would have liked to have rented scooters, but could not find the place. An inhouse list provided by the host would be nice of things to do and GOOD restaraunts nearby, just a suggestion.
