Our week in the Cove began with the peaks coated in fresh snow and a breathtaking view of both the North and South coasts. Despite the dismal weather forecast for the week of our stay, there was only one drizzly day, a perfect day to enjoy games and movies with a fire going! We are cooks so unnecessarily brought lots of pans and utensils and spices, etc. The kitchen is very well equipped and the home is well supplied with all the necessities. And the location is fabulous, within walking distance of the restaurants and tidepools. All the games you could want and lots of movies and books available for the quiet nights. And the owners are so nice and easy to deal with. We will definitely plan to stay here again! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your review and comments. Maybe you will be our new neighbors there someday!

This home is well decorated, clean, and comfortable. It is located conveniently close to the ocean. There are homes in front of the place, but one can still enjoy the waves crashing onto the shore. The only surprise was that the upper unit and lower unit did not have an internal staircase between them and you needed to take the outside stairs if you wanted to go to the lower unit. The two units would be perfect for a family since the parents could take the upper one with the master bedroom and full kitchen, and the kids could be downstairs in the two bedrooms (1 bath) with the partial kitchen (refrigerator and microwave). Owner very helpful and friendly before and during our stay.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your review! We have changed the website to reflect the out door staircase more prominently.

Tranquil with sights, scents, and sounds of ocean audible from the balcony. House well furnished and very comfortable, and equally well stocked with good linens, blankets, towels, and all kitchenware. Woodburning fireplace, jacuzzi, and hardwired internet are the bonuses. Recommend without reservation for couples or families, alike. Penny was responsive from the go, and met all requests with aplomb; she could not have been more gracious or attentive. In short, these people and their house excel. Enjoy!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

The pictures do not do this house justice. It is beautiful inside with great decorating. It has vast amenities and was very well stocked. Since we had some bad weather while we were there it was great that the house had so many various games, books, movies and magazines. Unfortunately due to the severe rain the house had some leaks when we arrived which were being taken care of with buckets here and there. It was not a big deal to us though. The only thing about this house that I did not like and that people should know is that there is no indoor stair case. The only way to get from the upstairs to the downstairs and vice versa is by using the outside stair case. This did not work out well for us because we had our two young children with us, ages 4 and 6, that we planned on having sleep in their own separate rooms. Since those two rooms were downstairs and the master upstairs, our children had to sleep on the couches. Just something to think about. The views were great and the house was very clean upon arrival.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your review! We have changed the website to reflect the outdoor staircase more prominently. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us.

I remember when we had this house for sale. I was sooo sad, but luckily we still own it and it's now for rent! This house and Shelter Cove altogether is the ONE place I call home. I love it there. When I go I never want to leave. I get the WHOLE downstairs to myself! Well, unless my siblings come along. -_- Haha. I would go to Shelter Cove every summer until I moved to Texas. Sad face. I remember I had one of my birthdays in Shelter Cove, and we celebrated MANY Christmas' there as well. I love Shelter Cove and can't wait to go back. When I have a family of my own, Shelter Cove is the first place I would take them. I hope to live there one day. I love you Grandpa and Penny! Yes, I'm one of Larry and Penny's grandchildren. Amanda.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

The home has everything you need in order to entertain or just kick back. Penny was easy to work with and everything was as described. The weather served up an exciting mix of beautiful warm sunshine to wind and then a little bit of drizzle and gray. The black sand beaches are spectacular and tidepooling was wonderful. I highly recomend this rental....just don't book when we want to come back.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Thank you for your review! You picked all the things we love best about our home and Shelter Cove. Come again!

The property was as described in the add (except that we did not realize that the upstairs and downstairs were not connected internally, and the only television is downstairs). But four months after we rented the property, and after Penny informed us that there were no additional charges, we still have not received our $300 deposit back, even after multiple telephone calls and emails.Owner response: The deposit was not refunded due to smoking clean-up. It is clearly stated that the home is a non-smoking facility and there will be additional charges for extra cleaning due to smoking contamination.

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 1980
About the owner: We are parents of 4 grown children and grandparents of 6 children from 1 to 23 years old. We are proud to be 3rd generation native Californians, living in the Bay Area. This is a family favorite location with something for everyone.
Why the Owner Chose Shelter Cove:
Shelter Cove offers a beautiful, wild coastline, set against a backdrop of California Coastal Redwoods, with beautiful, black sand beaches, tide pools, abalone diving, whale watching and great sport fishing.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
While staying at our property we wander from the front of the house, gazing at the ocean, waves, whales, and migrating birds, to the back of the house, watching small planes, golfers, deer and Canadian geese. It is hard to figure out where is the best place to be gazing! And, harder still to get our chores done!
