Property Description

Cochito



The Cochito is in a vintage RV park in the historic Noyo Harbor ~



NOTE: If you are bringing pet's , please let us know!

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!
