When we arrived, the host, Trevor, was very welcoming and showed us around the house and the grounds. The house was perfect for our extended family, and we all loved walking outside and down to the beach. The beach was great for the kids and easy to reach.We all enjoyed our stay and would be more than happy to return to Holly's Ocean Meadow.

Beautiful weekend!!!

My family and I had the most wonderful time at Hollys. We hosted our wedding there on a Saturday, but spend two days before having all our family and friends meet and get to know eachother. It was the perfect place. We did bonfires at night, explored the beach during the day and played lawn games that we brought. It was absolutely stunning and my nieces and nephews had the best weekend of their lives exploring the property and going on adventures. Trevor and Holly are wonderful owners and Trevor was communicative so so extremely helpful during our stay. We highly recommend staying at Holly’s! It’s truly one of a kind. We’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful Property!

We loved the private beach and the tide pools. The owners supplied the wood for our bond fire, and also for the fire pit located by the hot tub. We couldn't get enough of exploring with all of the pretty flowers and statues, there was something to see at every point. Love Love Love, would go back again.

Beautiful property, enjoyed the well kept grounds and spectacular view

Pictures Don’t Do It Justice

Pictures really don’t do this property justice. I understand why they don’t. It’ll be very difficult to photograph the breadth of the property. But it is gorgeous and well worth a visit. Trevor, who manages the property lives next-door, is extremely helpful and congenial.

Great family time

We had a wonderful time. The property has great energy. The house is large enough everyone could have their space. I enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and eating dinner with a view of the coast. The kids enjoyed a bonfire at the cove with hotdogs and s'mores. We will return

The Best Family Trip!

We had the most amazing time on our annual family trip. Finding a place to host all of the grown kids under one roof with all the boxes checked is not easy. Holly's beautiful property definitely had all our boxes checked and more! Holly was very responsive with suggestions and recommendations for everything we asked. Andrea was phenomenal and was available for anything that we needed. We will for sure be back!

Fabulous

Our all adult, eight member family had a wonderful few days. The house is a rambler so it was easy to find a quiet corner if needed. The kitchen is large and dining table accommodated us nicely. The property is fabulous. The private beach is rugged and perfect for a rock scramble or a fire and a smore. There is a plenty of outdoor seating in the beautiful gardens complete with a blooming Lilly pond. We wish we had stayed longer.

About the host

Hosted by Holly Kuchar

Host profile image
I have been part of the community for over 50 years. I am retired , I travel the world . I raised my children on this very special property. The artwork on the fences was created by wonderful husband. My goal is to provide a place where you reconnect with yourself and others. The property manager lives on property about 20’ from back of house. There is a separate driveway. There is a studio where Holly sometimes stays in back the garage. It has no adjoining wall to master bedroom. Both entrances are behind 6’ fence and separate driveway.

Why they chose this property

This property is magical. This property is the first place I slept when I came to Fort Bragg 45 years ago, but I did not own it for 5 years. There has been a child born here, a sweat lodge at the beach, family reunions, my company 's parties and numerous weddings. It is constantly recharged with love and joy. I view myself as a guardian with a sincere desire to share the property with others and one hand it down to my grandchildren.

What makes this property unique

The property is near town and off Highway 1. It borders the Mendocino Botanical Gardens on the North and accessed by a private lane. There are 4 ponds, an ocean meadow, bluffs and a private cove with a year round stream. Lots of wildlife. There is diving and rock fishing. Bonfires at beach. Walk to the point for sunsets, play in the meadow, enjoy all the property has to offer.
