Little gem

This place was so nice. Owner’s on site, came out to greet us. Place was so charming, it was a welcomed surprise. The views throughout the house were incredible. At night, we could see all the stars. We even saw the Olympics on a huge tv. Restaurants within 5 or less minutes. The place even has a washer/drier, and air conditioning throughout the place! So even when it was hot outside, we could walk barefoot on the cool spanish tiles.. I’m coming back for sure.

Stay Elsewhere!

There is a Marijuana grow on the property. It stinks of pot throughout the unit. There are stains in the carpets. The couches had stains. The tile floor is crumbling. The owners were nice enough. They live above the unit and have a large dog whom you can hear above you. The picture posted of the view is the only nice thing about the place. Unfortunately there is no sliding door/ direct access to get to it. You have go out front and walk around the house to get to it. There was a mouse chewing in the walls that kept me up all night. When I visit the ocean, I want to smell the ocean air, not a pot grow.

Just saw this. Yeh if you don't like the smell of marijuana maybe Humboldt isn't the place for you. The rest of it is innacurate, exaggerated or completely made up I think because she didn't like the smell of marijuana. Check out the other reviews here and on other platforms for a more accurate description (besides the smell of marijuana that is true and it is prevalent everywhere in Humboldt. Many people like it. My son used to say his school smelled like "cinnamon"). Sorry it took 3 years to get back to you I was high.
