  Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great location in quiet redwood forest. The nextdoor neighbor is very nice. If only the students in the downstairs apartment were the same way. Music and video game noises until late at night were NOT pleasing. Otherwise, it is a great location for me because the commute through the woods to HSU is very nice. The forest is steep though and there is a sign that says "Natural conditions, traverse at own risk". Not recommended for the elderly.

  Owner response: We did speak with the students downstairs as soon as you notified us of the issue via this review. They did not realize they were disturbing you through their tv/video games and were sincerely apologetic and have since been very careful about that. As per our follow up conversation with you, it is now not a problem. In the future, just make us aware right away and the issue will be dealt with.

  Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Labor Day weekend, no plans for this anniversary couple, till we received a call from another anniversary couple inviting us to the coast, last minute. My thoughts, we'll never find a place. Redwood Vacation Rentals came through in a snap! Last place, last call. The price was right but I was so worried about the cleanliness of a last minute rental. It was a lovely waste of a worry! Talk about spotless, I don't say that lightly. Did I mention spotless? Delicious berries! Great Limo in the area.The Arcata Townhouse was a perfect last minute get away, two very happy and comfortable anniversary couples. We still need to send a gratuity for the cleaning lady or fella. Thank You Coastal Vacations. We will be booking another home for next year!!!!!!!

  Great location! Shorto walk to town and Humboldt State University were big pluses. Easy access to Hwy 101 and only 20 minutes to the hospital in Eureka for work. The townhouse had all the conveniences needed including wifi, cable, a full kitchen & dishwasher, and the beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay here again! And thank you to the management company for their great service!

1. AGREEMENT: Redwood Coast Vacation Rentals (RCVR), the homeowner, and Tenants agree as follows: Tenant is over the age of 25 and will be an occupant of the unit during the entire reserved period. Other occupants will be family members, friends, or responsible adults. Use of the premises will be denied to persons not falling within the foregoing categories, and as a result they would have to vacate the property immediately without any refund. No keys will be issued to anyone who is not an adult. Furthermore, for unforeseeable reasons, if a vacation home becomes unavailable, even if you have reserved it, due to circumstances beyond our control (house being sold, damaged, double booked etc.) RCVR will make its best effort to offer other accommodations if available. If not available, we will issue a full refund. 2. PETS: We only allow pets at some of our locations (please inquire) and an additional pet deposit is also required. Guests with pets must check out one hour earlier so the cleaning staff has ample time to sanitize the home. You MUST clean up after your pet, which includes properly disposing of all waste material. If any waste material is found on the property, a portion of your pet deposit will not be refunded. You must also maintain control of your pet at all times, and NEVER leave a dog unattended. If you are leaving for the day and do not want to take the dog with you, you must put your dog in a local kennel or find alternative solutions rather than leaving the dog alone at our property. Any complaints from neighbors regarding excessive noise or other nuisances may be cause for immediate termination of the rental and forfeiture of the tenant's entire security deposit. If we have evidence of a pet being at the property, and you have not been given written permission by us to have a pet, you will be charged $150 plus the cost of repairing any damage to the property. 3. DAMAGE INSURANCE: A damage insurance plan may be displayed in your initial invoiced booking for $29.
