We do charge a fee of seventy five dollars per pet. Welcome aboard the USCG Cochito. This is the perfect anchorage for your Mendocino Coast adventure. Make yourself at home! Named after a ship that owner Stephen Dunlap’s son Emmanuel served on in the Coast Guard, this large-scale tiny home offers luxurious lodging, access to outdoor activities, and fantastic amenities. If you want to stay in, you have entertainment options and two floors where you can kick back and relax. If you want to set sail, you have easy access to the beach, restaurants, Noyo Harbor, and the best the Mendocino Coast has to offer. The water is a short walk from your front door. (You may even see our local Coast Guard ships passing by.) The Mendocino Coast has a thriving art and theater scene, award-winning cuisine, and an abundance of fun expedition opportunities, including kayaking, biking, and hiking. When you stay at the Cochito, you’re the skipper, and you set the course! Whether you prefer hills, redwoods, the ocean, or all of the above, we have it here. You’ll return from leave relaxed and refreshed – and ready to come back to the coast again. The Cochito is situated in Sportsman’s Park in the historic Noyo Harbor, where we have multiple vacation rentals available, so you can even enlist the whole crew to come up. You’ll have a blast watching the fishing boats go out in the morning and come in at night, and the lively harbor offers plenty of opportunities to go wildlife-watching, strolling, and reveling. By the end of your stay, you’ll feel like a local. And, after falling in love with the coast, you’ll be planning your next trip back here before you even get home. We’ll see you at the seaside! Note: The loft in this unit has a bedroom and TV area but the ceilings are very low, about 4 feet high. Noyo Harbor Noyo Harbor is an active, fully operational harbor, and is the first such harbor north of San Francisco Bay. It was first established as a port for logging and fishing back in the late 1800s. It’s a great place to take a stroll and check out a historic, working harbor up close. There is plenty to see and do (and eat). Noyo Harbor is home to some of the coast’s best restaurants, all within walking distance of your vacation home, so you have easy access to great food, refreshing drinks, spirited live music, and more. The harbor is reminiscent of the famous Cannery Row in Monterey, with fisheries and a full marina with classic and vintage fishing vessels of all types. The harbor is a wonderful place for seal-watching, kayaking, or just sitting back and enjoying the foghorn and the coming and going of boats. There have been many classic movies and TV shows filmed here through the years, including The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming! (1966), Humanoids from the Deep (1980), Overboard with Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn (1987), and the TV series Murder, She Wrote (1980s). BEDS The bed in the downstairs master bedroom features a luxurious top-of- the-line queen mattress from FloBeds and cushy pillows to accompany it. The upstairs loft has two beds with super-comfy full-size Tuft n Needle mattresses. You can rest assured (no pun intended) that when it is time for bed, you will sleep well each and every night. ABOUT THE NAME: The Cochito is named after the second ship Emmanuel Dunlap served on during his ocean-going days early in his Coast Guard service. The 87’ Cochito ( Marine Protector Class ) performs Search and Rescue operations along coastal waterways in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Since then, Emmanuel has raised his rank and training to a more comfy desk job, currently serving in Boston. The Cochito is dedicated to all those protecting and saving lives while serving in the United States Coast Guard. Dusty Now let me tell you about Dusty Dillion. One day in the spring of 2017, I was having lunch next door at Django’s Rough Bar and was telling Dusty about my new vacation rental business, Pacific Blue. He got off his stool, grabbed me by the shirt and said “follow me.“ He led me to Sportsman RV Park. Dusty told me I needed to get some park model homes and place them around the park for vacation rental purposes. I thought for a moment and then asked him, “what’s a park model home?“ Over the summer of 2017, we began placing homes in the harbor, and we continue the process today. A week before Thanksgiving in 2017, Dusty was feeling poorly. 2 days later he passed away. A shock for all of us, to be sure. Dusty is fondly remembered for his wisdom, wit, and love of the harbor. He is dearly missed!

I personally think that is adds to the rustic harbor experience but there are some who do not like being in an RV park. Please look through all of the photos on this rental so you can get an idea of what the park is like so you can make a personal determination if this is right for you . IN THE HOUSE The house binder on the kitchen counter has just about all the information you might possibly need and probably a little more. There are 2 Television sets in the home, one in the living room downstairs and another in the Beanbag room in the loft. The instructions for both TV's are in the binder towards the back for your convenience. GARBAGE There are garbage cans for the trailer park at the inside entrance to the park on the left side when looking back from the unit. VEHICLES There is room for one vehicle which can park directly beside the unit. If there is need for a second vehicle, please reach out to us so we can try to accommodate if possible. Since the parking is right beside the unit and there are other units close by, please try to be as quiet as possible early in the morning and late at night. Thank you !
