We had a wonderful trip to shelter Cove! The house was spacious and the kitchen was very well stocked! We enjoyed the back patio and the game room with the ping pong table. We loved the huge shower and jetted tub! Black sands beach is very close but a very steep walk, so we walked the first day but decided to drive the second time. The house number was really hard to see-it blended in with the trim! But the house was easy to find and a great location. Overall, we highly recommend this property for a quiet, peaceful getaway!

Had a great time. House was well stocked with everything we needed. Loved the option of having our dog with us and the ping pong table gave lots of entertainment on the rainy days.

Our stay at Casa de Bella Vista in Shelter Cove, CA far exceeded our expectations. The binder was comprehensive including detailed instructions, including photographs. The location has truly breathtaking ocean views and the house, itself, is a work of art, timeless and pristine. Kitchen, dining, and bathroom areas are modern and equipped with everything anyone could ever need. Bedrooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated. The house has multiple deck areas to enjoy the view in sun or shade, as you desire. My grand children loved playing ping pong and watching movies in the family room after our day out. The house is only a 5 minute drive to multiple beaches, the lighthouse, numerous eating establishments and coffee houses. It’s a few more minutes to the general store, which is a blast from the past and has a great selection. Tears were literally shed this morning when we were packing to head home. I had to tell my grandchildren that we will return some day. My daughter-in-law said this was, by far, the best place we’ve ever stayed!

Great getaway on the coast.

Just had a fantastic stay in Shelter Cove. House was clean, well stocked with anything we may have needed, as well as well organized and labelled. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. Very short walk downhill to Black Sands Beach and amazing views overlooking the ocean in the evening. Woild recommend staying here.

Beautiful house with lots of space for everyone! The host was amazing and very quick to respond with any question or need. She went above and beyond after we accidentally left an expensive item at the home and she shipped it to us.

Wow where to even start! Everything from the first question I had till the day we checked out was absolute perfection. The home itself is so beautiful and well keep. Even the clear labels on the cabinets. Let's you know where everything is but looks so tasteful with the clear labels versus white. The decoration in the home were beautiful, the beds so comfortable, fun bathtub. Beautiful views from both outside deck area and upstairs deck area. They had beach towels available for use, a Bluetooth speaker to use, instructions for everything in the welcome book! Just every detail was paid attention to. Ive stayed a a fee places along the Ca coast. By far this was our favorite trip. Traveled with my husband, 2 kids and eldery mom. Was just perfect for us. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Alessandra Licardo

Host profile image
I love being a Vrbo host. Shelter Cove is a very special place and I enjoy sharing it with people who may not have previously been aware of this beautiful, wild, little fishing village.

Why they chose this property

Shelter Cove clings to the edge of the continent on The Lost Coast of California. Because there is no coastal road that leads here, may people may not e aware of it. I love watching guests fall in love with this one of a kind destination.

What makes this property unique

Casa de Bella Vista is perched on the bluffs overlooking Black Sands Beach and the Pacific ocean. The views are epic and easily viewed from two very special decks. There is a large game room with spectacular views of the sunset, ping pong and a huge tv. This home is close to beaches, historic lighthouse, restaurants and world class hiking trails and so much more. The bunk room is ideal for the whole family and there are two cozy bedrooms with comfy beds. The kitchen is exceptionally well stock and ready for you to create gourmet meals.
