This was a great house to stay with our three dogs! They had plenty of room to roam around and the flat front yard made it easy on my elder dog who wasn't fond of the steps in the back. The ocean view from the deck was gorgeous! The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes, pans and appliances. There were plenty of towels and blankets. Extra fans for every room. I liked the detailed instructions for the house and labeled light switches. We had no phone service with AT&T but having wi-fi was great for planning trips before leaving the house. And the food at the Gyppo Ale Mill was delicious both times we ate there. Hidden Valley Trail is a great, shady hike not too far from the house, too. Not much soft beach access for dogs with mobility issues, but we had enough to keep us entertained for the 3-night stay. Definitely glad we booked this property.

It was lovely having Candy and her family there. She's right, it's not fancy--I think of our house as unbreakable--you can have kids run about and lounge about without worrying about breaking anything! But we provide clean linens, towels and plenty of silverware and utensils, etc., so that you can do your thing!

quiet retreat

It's a cozy place with one huge main room (open plan). Very private setting, and quiet. Nice view of the ocean and sunset from the deck. The owner is very responsive. You can just hear the ocean roar from the house.

House with a view

The beds were great and the blankets were warm and we were very comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied and all the utilities worked fine. I wish the weather could have been a little warmer but that is the chance you take with mother nature. All in all we had a wonderful weekend.

Bedrooms 3 & 4 are not accessible from inside the house. Garage area needs some deep cleaning. (not kid safe) Beautiful views. Easy access to beaches. Responsive host. We had a great time. Thanks!

Lost Coast trip

We had a great time, and the host was wonderful to deal with. My one regret is that the place was represented to be a four-bedroom unit, which was key for my group of three friends sleeping separately. The 3rd and 4th bedrooms were almost unimaginable as places to stay in late winter/early spring. I ended up sleeping on the futon in the living room, which was very uncomfortable.

I'm glad Scott had a great time. However the third and fourth bedroom are very warm in winter w/electric heaters with comfortable name brand mattresses with lights, one with TV, both with desks. The are advertised as requiring a few seconds walk outside to the main house, so I'm surprised Scott seemed fazed by this. This is the first guest out of hundreds I've had that has had this complaint.

Most amazing experience

Myself , my partner and our 4 teen aged boys stayed there for over a week. It was such an amazing experience. Daryl is such an awesome host, so very helpful! He bent over backwards to accommodate us as the road slid out and was unable to make it home back to Oregon. His property is so special, as it is his sanctuary and makes it available for other to enjoy. It truly is a unique gem with beautiful oceans views and easy access to all shelter cove has to offer. I highly recommend this experience to all! Thank you Daryl

Shelter in Shelter Cove

This place was perfect for us, two couples for three nights in April. The highlight is the expanse deck with a great view overlooking the ocean but surrounded by forest as well. Perfect for watching the sunsets, which were glorious, and perfect for stargazing at night with the very dark sky here. We had a great view of the Orion nebula with binoculars. Birds included the very entertaining and beautiful Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Stellar's Jay, and Purple Martin. Food preparation was easy with a large kitchen, well-labeled dishes and pots and pans. Area hiking and exploring was rewarding. We loved it. House could use a few minor repairs, but this wasn't enough to lower a five-star all around rating. Thank you to the owner and manager of this delightful spot.

Aristotle’s Retreat in Shelter Cove

Large house right in the heart of Shelter Cove. The house has everything you need for at least 6 people. There are extra rooms in the garage and an outside room for extra people or if you need more space. Note that there are TVs, but only VHS and DVDs are available to watch. Wifi is great around the house. Host is informative and quick to respond. Overall, it was a welcomed retreat to see Shelter Cove.

Good house in an excellent location.

We spent our labor day weekend Darryl's place in Shelter Cove. The house was able to accommodate all of us, 10 in total. Lots of DVDs and toys to keep the kids busy. Amazing views from the deck. Darryl was very good at communicating with us and provided good documentation. Overall a great experience.

Amazing location and comfortable living space

This house has an amazing view and the overall environment of clean air, thriving wildlife and peaceful surroundings is ideal for rest and relaxation. Sitting on the deck and reading, or playing board games or even surfing the internet is a relaxing and refreshing experience. The property itself is clearly someone's home, and is full of Robert's personal things and furniture that has been in use for some time. It isn't a dedicated rental property that looks like an Ikea showroom, so if that is what you are looking for, it won't suit. The house more like staying a friend's parent's house in the country with some stuff being worn, but comfy and cozy. Robert was extremely communicative, and very clear and helpful with respect to local resources. The location of the property provides a great sense of isolation, and being surrounded by nature while still having good access to center of Shelter Cove, reasonable broadband performance and amenities like a fully equipped kitchen and widescreen TV's in every room (bring a computer with an HDMI output - no cable or satellite). Really the ideal country getaway! We'll definitely be back.

Relaxing in the woods

The house is pleasant and good for kids. The house in general needs a little TLC but again was very pleasant and a great spot to get away from the world. the owner was very accommodating and was quick to respond with any questions. the view from the patio was wonderful and the neighbors were nice.
