Romantic Getaway

My only complaint about this house is that I didn't book it longer! The view is incredible! We watched pelicans fish in the cove! It's super clean, quiet, private, and romantic. Our trip was peaceful. The kitchen is well equipped. It felt comfortable, like a home away from home. It was decorated with a classy-cottage-cozy feeling. There is a hike down to the cove, and Gualala State Park is minutes down Highway 1, with hiking, and access to the beach. There's even a vista point on one of the hikes for watching whales! We will definitely book this place again, no doubt about it!

We celebrated Valentine's Day and a few more relaxing at Cover House, what a treat. We loved sitting on the deck or in the Adirondack chairs on the lawn; reading books and looking out over the ocean. We took the advice from other reviewers and brought wraps for sitting outside as the winds were chilly some days. We enjoyed a walk down to the cove to check out the tide pools and saw seals sunning on the rocks. The instructions for everything at the house were so helpful, thanks so much and we hope to be back again!

Very nice stay. I was lucky with the weather. Once I found where they store the extra wood for the fire, I was able to build that up and that was nice. The hot tub was great, even sat out one morning right before the dawn and star gazed. One treat I found, that I wasn't aware of, is there is a great path to the south of the house that goes down into the cove. That was beautiful and nice. Bit of a climb, I needed a walking stick, but not far to walk at all. One thing too, is take your hair dryer and I could have used a throw to cover up with. So, I'd say I had nothing to complain about.

What a wonderful, cozy home! Even though we only spent a few days here it rates as one of our best quick vacations! The home & location exceeded our expectations even though we knew it would be great after viewing the website.

We have already confirmed that watching the sunset from the hot tub with our glasses of wine and incomparable view will be a ritual for every day of our week-long stay. The house, location, and view are even more amazing than we hoped it would be from the internet site where we first found this place.

If there is a place from which to view heaven from earth, it is from the Adirondack chairs overlooking the cove. We spent many hours there with a few glasses of wine and couldn't leave.

We had such a great time at The Cove House, last week. The location looking over the cove and ocean is beautiful, plus the house is very comfortable also!! Please keep our $300.00 Deposit/Security money, don't send it back, but apply it to next years rental: 2 weeks this time, for our wedding anniversary again. We had such a relaxed week reading our favorite books sitting on the deck, day & evening, and never turned the TV on once.

The house was wonderful, more than we had hoped for. And to wake in the morning, walk out your bedroom door to the panoramic view, took my breath away each time.

Just wanted to let you know that the Cove House is beautiful!!! We thoroughly enjoyed the view, the hot tub, the deck, everything!! I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family and plan on going again sometime in the future. I'm keeping you in my "Favorites", so you will be easy to find when the time comes. The accomodations were wonderful, and you were right...you do have a great selection of cooking tools and kitchen accessories. We especially enjoyed having the espresso machine. We were able to get up each morning and make mochas and sit out on the deck and enjoy the view. AHHH!!! WHAT A LIFE!! Thanks so much for everything!!

Had a great time, as always. Stared at the ocean for hours. Wonder how long, before I tire of that? The endless play of clouds and sea... Hot tubbed, napped, read. Down to the beach. Back to the nap. Build a fire. Great library.

Just a quick note to say that our stay at your place was lovely! Pictures don't do it justice. Everything was in order when we arrived, the management company left the key for us and was very pleasant when we dropped it back off. Thanks for making such a magical place available to others!
