This was a lovely place for three friends to gather, cozy yet convenient to lots of hiking, beach-walking, great restaurants. Quiet in the shoulder season, could be louder with traffic from 101 in summer. Loved the upstairs den and deck for sunsets. Host was helpful and responsive to questions. We'll be back!

The house is perfect for a family of 3 adults and 2 kids. The bedrooms are all spacious. The home is clean. Kitchen is large and has everything you need if you want to cook. Close to McKinleyville. Laundry room is nice. With kids it is needed. Loved having a vacuum and cleaning supplies. The views are beautiful on a clear day. I loved staying there. I have nothing negative to say. I would definitely stay again.

This is by far my favorite VRBO that I’ve ever stayed in! Beautiful home. Beautiful view. Nice and private. Extremely clean. Very easy drive to Redwood Forest National Park, Trinidad, etc. After a day of viewing the beaches and walking the trails, it was very nice to come back too and relax. Sunset view was amazing especially for someone normally on the East Coast. Very hard to leave and hope to go back someday.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful beach house! The ocean views and surrounding scenery were absolutely stunning, and we loved starting each morning with coffee on one of the balconies overlooking the sea. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, the outdoor dining space was perfect for family meals, and the bedrooms were comfortable and well-appointed. There was plenty of room for our family of six, and the location was ideal with easy access to Clam Beach, Moonstone Beach, and the nearby redwoods. We'd definitely stay here again!

Ideal location just south of Redwood parks. About 1 hour drive to Klamath for reference. Very convenient to Trinidad and Arcata for great restaurants. Perfect drive to Prairie Creek Redwood area where a bunch of the nice hikes are. Lots of nearby beaches. Appreciated all the restaurant and hiking recs from the owners! House is excellent set up for family of 6 or similar sized groups. The primary bedroom upstairs with its own bath is great. The upstairs living area with balcony and sunset view of the ocean is fabulous. Great spot to read or drink coffee or for kids to play or conversation. Kitchen is very well stocked. Super clean property. Beautiful plantings/ landscaping. Loved having hose outside to rinse off sandy shoes. Very tasteful decor. Can’t imagine why you’d stay anywhere else. Had two tiny issues during our stay and they were resolved quickly. Overall, the caliber of the property really just felt like we were staying at a friend’s place. Feels like the owners really care about doing this rental house thing really well! Will include pics of plants on the property because I like plants.

Beautiful Views & Great Location

We really enjoyed the incredible views and the location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to do, but it felt private and relaxing. Just a five minute drive to Clam Beach for beachcombing and beautiful sunsets when weather allows! The home was comfortable, the beds were great, and the management team was responsive and easy to work with. We’d be happy to stay here again!

Great Location, Looks as Pictured, But Several Issues

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was decorated well, matched the photos, and had comfortable, clean furniture and bedding. We felt safe during our stay. The view was lovely, the location was good, and there were games and books available. The kitchen was adequately stocked with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, and a few spices. Before check-in, we requested to drop off luggage since we were arriving early, and management agreed — very helpful.However, upon arrival, the home was extremely hot upstairs due to large windows facing the sun. There’s no central air (which we knew), but there were no screens on the windows with the best breeze, so opening them let in mosquitos. After texting, someone offered to bring box fans.We soon noticed ants in the kitchen (with bait already out, so clearly a known issue) and that the downstairs rug hadn’t been vacuumed well. That evening, the upstairs tub barely drained and was clogged with hair. All but one smoke alarm had been removed, and more ants appeared. I emailed and was told someone could come the next day.They provided temporary window screens, offered to vacuum (I had already done so), said they’d spray for ants, and reinstall smoke detectors. However, the ant problem worsened — showing up in the kitchen, laundry room, near the front door, in the primary bathroom, and eventually in my son’s bed. We were refunded the cleaning fee.Would we return or recommend? Probably not, though with improvements, it could be a much better rental.

It was a beautiful location! Amazing views and grounds. Close to all of the activities we wanted to do. Redwoods and beaches are all close to cottage. Plenty to do in the surrounding area as well. The home is very comfortable and has everything you need for a family. Great communication and responsive to all our questions. The only issue we had was not being able to stay longer!!! It is well worth to stay an extended time.
