Escape to the scenic Northern California Coast at this two-bedroom, oceanfront Westport vacation rental! With gorgeous Pacific Ocean views and an updated beach cottage interior, you'll have a relaxing and one-of-a-kind vacation at The Coast!

Located on the public headlands, you'll be right on the picturesque and rocky shoreline with nearby trails to two beaches. The small town of Westport offers a general store and a restaurant (you can even get an espresso and Sunday brunch at the Old Abalone Pub), but there are plenty of restaurants, shops, and more just to the south in Fort Bragg (16 miles away) and 10 miles further in Mendocino.

You'll step inside to bamboo hardwood floors, recessed lighting in the wood-paneled ceilings, and an open floor plan. Large windows offer a direct view of the Pacific Ocean and you'll have a wood-burning stove for cozy and atmospheric nights inside. There's also a large screen TV, (with live-streaming access via Roku) plus a DVD player and movie library for entertainment.

The full kitchen is packed with all the major appliances you'll need (including a dishwasher), to create tasty vacation meals. Stop at the store in Fort Bragg and come back home with groceries to whip up a spicy pot of cioppino. You can enjoy your seafood stew at the dining table with gorgeous ocean views!

A small bistro table right by the windows is the perfect spot for an afternoon glass of local wine, and you'll even have binoculars for looking out to sea.

The outdoor deck is complete with patio seating and a gas grill. Work on your tan while you admire the view.

At night, the two bedrooms provide space for up to four guests. You'll have a queen bed, two twins, and two window seat mattresses—great for kids. Both bedrooms have access to the upper deck for gorgeous early morning ocean views. Other amenities include a private washer/dryer, a stereo with a CD player, and one-and-a-half baths.

This peaceful spot is perfect for getting away from it all or searching out activities like wine tasting, beachcombing, and hiking. Drive about four miles south to sample local grapes at Pacific Star Winery—here you can bring a picnic lunch, sit back in Adirondack chairs, and dine outdoors overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Further south, Fort Bragg offers restaurants, breweries, and shops, while charming Mendocino is home to galleries, boutiques, and a variety of restaurants. Visit the Glass Beach in Fort Bragg adjacent to MacKerricher State Park or the Mendocino Botanical Gardens. You can set off on a day's adventure to the Avenue of the Giants (redwood forest) or just stay home and unwind and practice a “digital detox” and listen to the ocean surf hitting the rocky coast—this coastal retreat is a great home base for it all!

For a romantic retreat, a trip with friends, or a family getaway, this Northern California Coast vacation rental offers a charming backdrop for your getaway to the shore!

A peaceful respite along the coast
We have stayed at Contemplation Haven twice and loved it both times. Such a beautiful spot along the spectacular coast. The house has everything we needed, and it was just so relaxing and beautiful.

Westport home
The home is quite warm and inviting. The views from the windows are fabulous, the sunsets and mornings were perfect. There are stairs down to a quiet beach, just the best! We will stay here again soon!

Beautiful property!
This home was serene and beautiful, comfortable and cozy. The views from every window surrounded us with ocean and green. The kitchen was well stocked and we did some cooking from home, but also enjoyed the Old Abalone Pub across the street. The road -- Route 1 -- was quiet. There was a lot of hiking and touring nearby which we loved, both on the ocean and inland. We will definitely return!

The house was not clean!!!
We loved the location and proximity to the ocean. The views are absolutely stunning. We’ve been several years in the past and rented from Vacasa down the street. I’m very sad that it was already rented. Even though the house we previously rented was much older and outdated inside, the cleanliness was impeccable and to me that is extremely important! No one wants to rent a house that is filthy inside.

Gorgeous View of the ocean!
This is a beautiful house with a fantastic view of the ocean! I saw several whales from the deck. The house is clean and the decor and dishes are beautiful. The location is close to endless hiking trails and beaches. Even though it is right on the highway at night all I could hear was the ocean. Across the street is a small grocery store and a hotel pub. Abolutely perfect ocean vacation!

Peaceful, comfortable and beautiful
We were two couples getting away for the NYE weekend. We had all we needed (with one exception) for a wonderful stay; fully capable kitchen, tastefully decorated, cozy, charming and quirky! We loved our stay except while trying to sleep. Investment in new bedding and mattresses is sorely (pun intended) needed. Otherwise a fabulous stay with no complaints.

amazing location
This was our second stay here and we loved it! If you are unable to unlock your mind from Internet and wifi or require a town full of things to do, than stay somewhere else. But for those who appreciate the solice, beauty and grandeur of the north pacific ocean and aren't afraid of a little quiet time to connect with mother nature, than you will appreciate this home. It's simply but tastefully appointed with what you need to have a comfortable visit. A virtually private cove is literally a stones throw away and many other world class beaches are near by. Oh, and did I mention unobstructed ocean views from every room? One star deducted for some minor inconveniences like a leaky freezer and seriously worn Teflon pots and pans. Par for the course with most heavily visited rentals. We shall return!

Little gem to relax with the family
We stay at CH as a simple getaway before Christmas (coming from Bay Area). We had a relaxing time watching the waves crash from the warmth of the living room. We also spent a good amount of time just hanging out at the house playing board games. It really was a great place to unplug. Kids also enjoyed walking down to the headlands where they played with the sand and explored tidepools. There is a long flight of stairs to the beach though so just a warning. Only knock on the house is a little secluded in Westport so have to drive at least 30 mins to big cities with restaurants. But this wasn't a problem for us. We brought simple items from Trader Joe's and was able to cook ourselves. I think if you go in the summer, there are some restaurants in town that's open. Outside the house and the outdoor furniture could use a little TLC but the inside was perfectly clean to allow for relaxation. It's also great that this is NOT a pet friendly place as my kids are highly allergic. I didn't have to worry about them rolling on the floor and touching things. Beds were also comfortable (aka semi-firm) so we were able to rest well. We truly enjoyed out stay at Contemplation Haven and look forward to coming back! Thanks for hosting us!

Disappointed will not be back
Excited to stay. Was there in August and loved the home, clean tidy and beautiful views. Got to Westport and walked in, the floor was obviously dirty a quick sweep at best, dirt all around the carpet edges and under. Toilet tissue in sink in lower bath, toilet tissue and obvious feces in upstairs toilet. Sink did not look clean. No hand towel, found a bath towel and hung it up for use. The master bedroom had a small red and white dish left on the bedside table and the sheets- looked maybe clean but it looked to both of us that someone had slept on top of the quilt then straightened. I was uncomfortable the entire time, was the bed clean, were the pillowcases clean? Didn’t feel like it was. Called Vacasa and they sent out a housekeeper from Fort Bragg- she cleaned the bathrooms and swept. Disappointed beyond disappointed- especially for the price. Will look for other rentals elsewhere.

Beautiful Ocean Retreat
This beautiful house has a lovely view of the ocean. A small beach is a five-minute walk. Sparkling clean, we recommend this property enthusiastically. You do need to be ready to drive for 20+ minutes to get to restaurants in Fort Bragg. The drive is gorgeous, but requires your full attention around sharp curves.

Peaceful Stay :)
We stayed at Contemplation Haven to attend a wedding celebration at the Switzer Farm just down the road. Leading busy work-filled lives, the CH home provided us the quiet rest we really needed in between ceremony events. We even found ourselves leaving early to come back and listen to the rolling waves in the peacefulness of the home. Thank you so much. Loved all of the pictures, amenities and comfort of a well taken care of home. :)

This house has one of the best views of the Pacific Ocean that I've ever seen. Even with overcast skies and a bit of fog, it was lovely to watch and listen to the waves crash on the rocks. The house was well equipped and comfortable. I would most definitely rent it again.
