Enjoy a magnificent garden and deck at this four-bedroom Mendocino home, a breathtaking family retreat where you'll find abundant space for entertaining and wonderful access to the trails, beaches, and towns of the Northern California Coast. Ideal for reunions and peaceful family getaways, this three-level home sits on the eastern edge of Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park, just one mile from the historic lighthouse itself. You'll be only half a mile from Frolic Cove Beach and its surrounding coastal trails, three miles north of Mendocino, and eight miles south of downtown Fort Bragg.

Your vacation begins in the great room, which features exposed beam ceilings and plush leather furnishings that will make you feel right at home. Admire meadow, forest, and partial ocean views through the picture windows, relax in front of the wall-mounted flatscreen TV, or use the WiFi to check your email. Prepare meals as a family in the open gourmet kitchen, which offers a farm sink, black granite countertops, 48-inch professional range, and modern appliances that include a dishwasher. Each morning, you can sip a cup of coffee in the window seat before setting the breakfast table in the window-lined dining room.

But the true beauty of Caspar Dream lies in its gorgeous outdoor spaces, which include a verdant garden and a spacious deck that were designed for entertaining. Fire up the gas grill each evening and enjoy the lovely sunset view from the patio table.

Your Northern California escape begins today - spend some quality time with your friends and family at this beautiful Mendocino home!

Nice Property and Location
We really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful kitchen with everything you could ever need in a kitchen. We also like the way the living room area was set up. Nice for a group of people to sit and chat. Love the kitchen table, especially because there was individual seating and not bench seating. The window seats was a plus. The owners of this property had everything well thought out. Everything was nicely stocked. Towels, linens, extra blankets. We enjoyed being able to watch the deer out the windows. Beautiful ocean view. We even took a family portrait in the gardens in the back.

Big place - Lots of private areas - great location
We enjoyed staying here. Three levels with bathrooms/showers on each level provided enough private space for a larger group. There is also a large open common area with the kitchen. Large deck with a nice view of the ocean (from a distance) Deer roaming on the lawn. Very peaceful.

So so wonderful and relaxing! The deck was awesome with comfy chairs for everyone to watch for whales. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in with tons of room for everything. We especially loved the gourmet stove! **Though the bbq did not have fuel to use. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept great. It was really nice to have so many full bathrooms **though the hot water wasn’t hot particularly on the top floor. **The kitchen was not as clean as it should’ve been. The beautiful custom cabinets were not being kept up and the refrigerator smelled of fish. But we all agreed that we will be returning when we can. Hopefully the hot tub will be operational then. Thank you!

A Special Place
Large and well appointed kitchen. Spacious home. Clean. 3 floors so privacy for each family. Very comfortable beds. Large picture windows on main floor that’s great for gathering Everyone together. Friendly, helpful owner. The only inconvenience was the 3rd floor shower wasn’t very warm so that family used an extra 2nd floor bathroom as needed. My 90 year old mom had help going up and down the first flight of stairs most the time to be with everyone. Overall, it was fabulous for our family!!

Spacious house, great location
We stayed in this home for 5 days with a group of 10 - 6 adults and 4 kids. The house had plenty of space for everyone and was quite comfortable. Everything was clearly labeled which did help with understanding what switches we needed for lights and where to find pots and pans. The beds were comfortable, the view was fantastic - we all enjoyed the deer that would come to graze all day long - and the location was perfect. Just a two minute drive to a great little beach where we found lots of sea glass and shells and only a few minutes from Fort Bragg, The house was unfortunately not that clean when we arrived. Everything was quite dusty, the trash had not been taken out in the kitchen and it smelled quite bad. We were just happy to be there so nothing too terrible, but definitely not what you would expect. Also disappointing was the hot tub not being in service. We only book houses in this area with a hot tub so to lose that the week before we checked in was really a bummer. In addition, the water conservation signs placed all over the house were intimidating and made us all nervous. They tell you that they are monitoring your water usage and that if you use too much they will close the house. What they didn't tell you is what too much is - we had 10 people and had to run the dishwasher twice a day. We had sandy clothes that we were afraid to wash. Most of us only showered once the entire time we were there out of fear of over use of water. We are from California so are highly respectful of the drought concerns we all have but these notices without further clarity about what would be OK to do made all of us feel pretty uncomfortable. It also led us to think that perhaps a house that hosts 10 people with this level of water concerns is not really a good fit for a vacation rental. At the very least some additional guidance on what would fall into ok levels of usage would be helpful. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the house was great for our size group, but we would not book again.
