Our stay here was absolutely wonderful—everything from the beautiful ocean view to the beach and how clean, and comfortable the house was made it feel like a dream. The hot tub was such a perfect touch, and Andy truly went above and beyond, making sure we had everything we could possibly need. He even did something special for my boyfriend’s birthday, which made the trip even more meaningful. This place is simply amazing—no filter needed, it’s perfect just the way it is.

Everything about our stay was amazing. Host was very communicative and the property was just as described. The outside space was perfect to enjoy the amazing ocean views. House was centrally located between Erueka and Redwood Park and there were great walking/biking trails within walking distance of the property. Highly recommend.

This is a very clean & very well stocked rental. The view was beautiful; sitting on the patio & listening to the ocean was great. There’s a hot tub & bbq for your use also. The manager even left treats to welcome us. We will definitely stay here again.

Great host, amazing location, quirky and thoughtful touches... everything I'm looking for in a vacation rental. First coastal rental I've ever booked that was set up for oyster shucking (do better, everyone else)! The hot tub was clean and functional, the neighborhood was quiet and pretty. The fog was awesome to watch rolling in and the proximity to redwoods was perfect. No notes. Would absolutely book again.

Great Place close to everything.

The house is located in a wonderful quiet neighborhood, in front of the beach with an amazing view. We loved stayed in the house since we drove to the Redwoods national park and other attractions in the area within minutes. Also there are some nice restaurants north close by also. I would recommend this house to a family with kids. Thanks Andy for your help all the time.

It Was Wonderful!

The property is located near the ocean in a nice residential neighborhood with an unobstructed view of beautiful sunsets. It is modern, very well stocked, and has more amenities than we were able to use. The kitchen has everything you would need including pods for the coffee maker and condiments in the refrigerator. The beds were very comfortable with a TV in each bedroom in addition to the main room. The outdoors is very nicely landscaped and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Hello!
I am a Humboldt County resident that has lived between Trinidad and McKinleyville most of my life. I retired a few years back after owning my own cabinet manufacturing business for the past 30 years. These days I enjoy spending most of my time outdoors. A few of the hobbies that I enjoy the most are landscaping, painting, traveling and I recently started playing guitar again.

A couple of my sayings in life are… If nothing changes… Nothing changes!
