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.

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.
There are BOOGIE BOARDS at the house or rent kayaks, surfboards, etc. at Caspar Beach. A wetsuit is recommended!

Absolutely the best!
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!

Incredible spot!
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!

Amazing property and location
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.

Great multi-generational getaway!
We had a great 4 day stay at Bay Dream with 3 generations. The views are incredible, the home is very well equipped, and the sleeping arrangements were perfect for our three families. It’s close to several beaches, Mendocino and Fort Bragg, but the gated court makes it feel off the beaten path. The only small issue we had was the hot tub was pretty noisy at night (we were warned) but it was resolved and we all slept well the next night. All in all it was a great experience and we all left talking about the next trip!
