My husband is originally from the area and when we come back to visit family, we historically have stayed at one of the inns in downtown Eureka. This past visit we decided to try a Vrbo rental so we could have a little more space and we were so glad we did. The home was immaculately clean, well appointed, and in a quiet location. We particularly loved the main living area - from the art to the furnishings, it was inviting and made for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed our stay so much that we ended up booking our next stay before we had even checked out!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and we love the accommodations and location. The view can't be beat and we had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend.
This was a great house for the four of us to stay in. It was much bigger than we expected. The view was lovely and the house was very well equipped with everything we needed.
Looked for a quiet and clean property with three bedrooms for one couple and two single adults. This fulfilled our expectations and more - we were in town for 3 1/2 days and only left the house once - it was easier for other family in town to come to where we were & everyone loved the location! Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Tardis House
We call this house the Tardis house. From the street, it looks smallish. But, when you open the front door, you find a great big and bright living areas. The views of the bay is phenomenal. The beds are comfortable. The outside space is very spacious deck that wraps around the back side of house. A perfect place to watch the sunset and enjoy the green pastures below. Another plus, the house is not in a tsunami zone. Which came in handy, since we were under a tsunami warning.
We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and great view! The couches were not very confirtable and werd worn! Beds were good, kitchen was good!

Love this house
Way more that I expected, big house with 3 rooms two full baths and 1/2 Restroom. Big back yard. Love it inside and outside I totally recommend this house and I will love to stay again. It was my first time renting a house and we love it
My 90 year old mother had difficulty with the step-ups/downs between kitchen and dining room. Otherwise, beautiful house. Loved staying there.

Lovely Home
Even better than the pictures, this home was cozy and welcoming. Very clean. Perfect location at the end of a quiet street and close to everything. We spent a lot of time playing games and enjoying the view and celebrating Thanksgiving. Customer service was great when we needed to fluctuate on the date of arrival. Recommend!
Traveling during a pandemic was risky but well worth it. We arrived with our adult children and left with a baby on the way announcement and an engagement! To say this trip to this bEautiful area was memorable is an understatement. This home is nicely situated central to so many outdoor attractions! It was was clean and comfortable for all of us. We ended up cooking more than planned due to the second state shut down due to Covid and the kitchen was well equipped fir this.

Very, very good!
We've rented many houses in the past and this one surpassed our expectations. The house is well-located, affording great views of the bay. It is well-stocked and very large. There were 5 of us and there were several different areas of the house to lounge, read, watch t.v., etc. The vacasa app worked perfectly to let us know when the house was ready, how to enter, advised us of the opportunity for late check out etc. We will definitely be back!
Need to update sofas - not comfy, especially for older folks.
Overall, it was a good time, however the furnace for the living area had to be repaired as there was no heat in part of the house when we arrived. This was efficiently handled by the property manager Samantha, who was great!

Le, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your time overall! However, we regret any inconvenience concerning the furnace and appreciate your patience and understanding while our local manager handled this matter. Additionally, we are sorry for any discomfort you experienced with the sofas. We appreciate this feedback and can confirm our local team is working to address this issue. We hope to see you again very soon!
This property was exactly as noted in pictures and descriptions. Very spacious with lots of sitting space. Beautiful view even with the freeway. You could hear the cars yet it’s far enough away that it was not overly loud. There was a bbq, yet we didn’t see one in pictures so we had brought a little one in case. Clean and great for our family. We had grandparents with us as well and it was nice that they could have master and the rest of us had the the other two rooms and bathroom which was far enough away so everyone had their space. Everything was wonderful! Will keep this house on our list for future visits!

Great House!! Not for Small Children
House was a bit old school but super clean. Everything needed was available and well stocked. Only downside is this house is not for smaller children. Lots and lots of pointy corners/steps and breakables all over the house. Also, no working baby gates available for the basement, just an old non-working one available. However, house is in great shape and close to everything.

Spacious home with beautiful views
This is a spacious home and was a convenient location to explore various Redwoods state parks. We enjoyed the beautiful views, pleasant porch, and opportunity for my family of four to spread out. We also appreciated the laundry room (this stop was part of a longer trip). The internet was fast and the neighborhood pleasant.
However, as others have mentioned, some of the furniture could definitely use replacing. The mattress in the master bedroom was really uncomfortable and I can't imagine anyone over the age of 40 could sleep well on it. Additionally, we found the pots and pans were really old and some had caked on food. I would recommend that the management go through the kitchen cabinets (particularly pots and pans) and ensure that everything is useable and clean.

Do not stay in Antland
My family and I nicknamed this home, Antland. There were ants in the kitchen and both kids' rooms.
At first, it was the kitchen sink even though we had not even brought food into the house or used the sink. Then the countertops, butcher block island, and the entire kitchen floor. They also popped up the kids' bedrooms and my kids were bitten several times while they slept. When I asked for help, they told me the home was on a treatment plan for ants. I wish I would have known that prior to booking.
The local staff did try to remedy the situation. However, the ant baits and non-toxic spray they delivered made it worse. There was no way to cook at all and we had rented the home (rather than a hotel) to have a nice homemade Christmas dinner.
There is mold growing in the master bathroom and the fireplace barely heats a foot in front of itself. When it is really windy or raining, it sounds like it is doing so inside because the doors (including the sliding glass doors) are so drafty that the plastic sunblock curtains sound like thunder.
If you want peace of mind and body, do not stay here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Africa, we regret to hear that we were unable to provide you with a pleasant stay. We sincerely apologize for any unwanted critters you encountered during your stay with us and appreciate you identifying this area in need of attention. We have passed your comments along to the HOA, which provides pest control services for the property, to review and address. Please know that your feedback is essential, and we have passed your comments along to our local manager, who will work with the homeowner to make any updates. At this time, we have not had any further reports of mold or ants. We truly hope to have the opportunity to impress you in the future.
Older home in quiet neighborhood that was very clean with well equipped kitchen. Streaming TV options were abundant. Comfortable beds and reliable internet. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
