Other things to note
As of 11/20/2019, we have now installed (outdoor only) security cameras for the safety of our home. This footage is only looked at during periods of the home not being occupied by a guest of ours. Due to people in the area filling our garbage cans when guests are not present, and to prevent anyone tampering with our home while it's empty, the cameras are a deterrent of this behavior.

This house was the perfect landing spot for our visit to Eureka. The hosts thought of everything. The kitchen was stocked, and there were plenty of towels and blankets. We loved sitting on the front porch surrounded by flowering bushes.

Relaxed, Rejuvenated in the Redwoods

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sunflower beach cottage. All of the necessities were available and the location was ideal for visiting Arcata, Trinidad, Ferndale and all. Thanks to Lala and the book of recommendations, one of the highlights was our trip to the Redwoods Zoo and Skywalk. We of course took in the beautiful beaches and Redwoods. Just a wonderful, magical, relaxing trip.

Cute home with character. Not your standard grey and white VRBO. If you want modern, this is not for you. If you appreciate historic homes, and their quirks, you will enjoy this home.

Eureka! What a find!

My family of 4 spent the past few days at the house. It was very clean, had space (and TV's) for all of us and was stocked with the basics. From shampoo to laundry to spices and condiments, the house was well prepared for travelers. We really enjoyed our time!

Everything You Need and More

Perfect spot to relax and spend time as a family over winter break. The house was clean, organized and exactly what we needed. We were delighted to find rain gear so we could enjoy being outside in the stormy weather and stay dry. Lala is a generous host and we can’t wait to return.
