Our renovated roadside cottage was spacious and comfortable. Dog friendly (for a price). We just stayed overnight but the kitchen and good internet would allow a longer stay to explore the area. There's a nice area outside for a barbecue (but it was raining when we were there). Not a particularly lovely part of town and no view, but I would come back.

Very well cleaned and reasonable cost for a one night stay. Had all kitchen utensils needed for a quick dinner. Great spot of grass for the dog to relieve himself. Loved the pup basket - such a nice touch.

Stayed here for years until we got our travel trailer, but still recommend it to our friends.

Needed a place to stay for the weekend with our boxer dog, so booked it. To be honest, At first glance it looks a bit sketchy. However, the rooms are super cute and cozy. Contactless checking made it a breeze, and they had a dog basket filled with towels, treats, extra sheets and a mat for their bowls. Lots of room to walk the pup. The rooms are spacious and clean, beds are fairly comfy. The small kitchen area was nice, we brought coffee and Creamer, it's stocked with plates cups and utensils, and has a small fridge and microwave and coffee maker. Nice and quiet area, but walls are a bit thin so could hear the neighbors (we were in room 8, which is connected to 9). The fridge was not clean and some corners were a bit grungy, but beds and bathroom and floor was clean and tidy. The place isn't near anything, so walking is impractical. The nearest beach seems to be inaccessible to the public. Overall it's a nice place to stay if you have a doggo with you and need a quiet place to relax at the end of the day :)Nearby activities: Glass beach (get there early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds), Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, Jug Handle Beach, Pudding Creek Trestle, noyo headlandsFood & drinks: Definitely check out North Coast Brewery, Noyo Fish Company, and Noyo River Grill. Great food and locations!

The cottages are very private and comfortable. Each cottage has its own carport. I really like the location near the Mendocino Botanical Gardens. I had my choice on the website for your desired cottage, which I picked; but I never got the required email. It was to give the code for entry since there is no formal check-in desk. On the day I was to arrive, I finally had messaged them and got the code but it was not to the cottage I originally chose.

Very disappointed in our stay this time at Shoreline Cottages. This is our fourth visit to this place and I will have to say it is not what it used to be. The bed was so high I had to use an ice chest as a step up to gain access. Futon was so small that it looked as though it was designed for a child. No comfortable seating. Bedding provided for futon looked as though it was purchased from a thrift store. Spider webs all over patio furniture and deck.We won be back!

Stayed in April 2023. Place has really deteriorated under new management. Property is very worn and tired. Grounds were overgrown and unkept. My unit, the dog room, was very sparse a broken stove and refrigerator that froze everything. I was a regular but never again.

Lovely place, I would stay there again. The buildings are a little dated and the location is a little difficult, to the point that on the drive up we were thinking "oof, this might be sketchy". But clearly someone has put a LOT of love and attention to detail into this place. The check in/out process was seamless and no-contact, though the hosts kept in contact very frequently via text. The rooms were clean, modest, and cute. We found that the heater + blanket was warm enough, despite the coastal chill at nights. And the little pet area with trees and grass was great for my dog.The place was an excellent compromise between pretentious "upscale" overpriced hotels, and sketchy, dirty "cheap" hotels. Humble and well maintained.

Loved our stay here! Very cute refurbished rooms with kitchenettes that were very handy!

These cozy little cottages are cute from the outside but dated on the inside. The bed wasn’t all that comfortable which was really disappointing and the fridge somehow managed to freeze our items that we had placed inside over night. But I appreciated how easy it was to check-in and the place was easy to find.

I highly recommend Shoreline Cottages.I cross-referenced Yelp reviews and Expedia prices for any lodging under $200 and this was the best choice when measuring price vs. cleanliness, noise, and location.CLEAN:The #1 factor is cleanliness, and Shoreline Cottages did not disappoint. Even a German grandmother would approve.NOISE:The #2 factor is noise. I did not hear my neighbors at all. The cabins have no shared walls, so that helps. The only noise came from the cars whipping down PCH. LOCATION: It's not too far from the restaurants where the 20 ends, a ten minute walk to Ft. Bragg Beach, two miles from the main strip in Fort Bragg, and three miles from Glass Beach. Overall the place was impressively thoughtful, though I will pepper in my small criticisms as we go along... Each cottage is self-standing with a theme: it's not exactly Madonna Inn (there's no caveman room), but it makes each one unique. Each unit has a carport, which is more attractive and safe than a parking lot, and a table and two chairs. The common area has tables and a grill. The middle area is attractive, though perhaps only useful to a dog. Hammocks would be a fun addition. Or cornhole. The units are "cozy" if you see glasses of water as half-full, or "tiny" if you see them as half-empty. The bed was comfortable but the strange pillows (Cabin 2) felt like balloons. I trying folding them as I slept and couldn't,. My wife woke up and she had made a poodle!The wifi was fine, though not enough for my wife to text photos. But maybe that's on me. I have a flip phone from Readers Digest Cellular. The separate kitchens have a fridge (psst, the one in #2 needs stabilization), coffeemaker, microwave, and dishes! The water faucets turn the wrong way- even in the bathroom. I don't know if it is a European thing or if the plumber was doing a headstand when he installed them. Maybe he heard his dad wrong when he taught him "Lefty loosey, righty tighty" and he thought it was "I Love Lucy, Tighty Whities". He has some splainin' to do.The check-in is contactless and the doors used codes for entry. They thoughtfully made the code the last four digits of my phone number, unless that was a coincidence. This might be problematic if Jenny stays there, in which I know her code is 5-3-oh--ni-ee-ine, but it was convenient to have no key to lose or repeatedly swipe like a limp, powder-soft dollar bill in a stubborn vending machine.We had three remotes by our bed. One for the smart TV. One for the cool fireplace feature. The third was a mystery. Maybe it was for the ceiling fan. Damn, maybe it stabilizes the fridge!Bonus was the hot tub with late hours (10pm) which stands in an enclosed, locked, and raised platform with shelf space, electronic candles, and a convenient lid opening mechanism. I think they should post instructions, or at least have a glow stick near the controls. And, I think stepping stones from the lot across the ten feet of terrain would be helpful for people who don't want to wear shoes. I don't think the ground was dirt, it felt more like Legos.

Wonderful location just minutes from the beach. Clean, comfortable room with beautiful grounds to enjoy. They have a hot tub, a fire pit, grassy area for the kids or dogs to play. Would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here one night. We had hard time finding the entrance at night. Pleasant stay.

Came here to celebrate sweet 16. It was perfect. Girls got to stay in their own room but we were close enough for this nervous mama. The cottages are quaint and cozy but so nice. Clean, super animal friendly. Our senior dog loved sniffing around the grass. It is centrally located to all the shops & food but far enough away to give some privacy. Definitely will come back.

My husband and I LOVED Shoreline Cottages. Listen, everything was perfect. Contactless check in, you receive the code to your door via text message. We walked into our cottage (the dog cottage) and it was clean, cozy, and so inviting. Cute little area we could let out dog roam through, super quiet, zero complaints. Close to restaurants and the skunk train. We will be back, Shoreline will be a regular spot for us!!
