Visit to Redwoods

The apartment was clean and comfortable, just as described by owner. It was only a block off the square in Arcata so easy access to shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Family trip to Arcata, CA!

We loved our stay in Arcata. It's a classy VRBO with the perfect location near the center of town. The shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance from the property. The VRBO gets a 5 star rating for all the facilities including the heating and the WiFi. We look forward to renting this VRBO again!

Perfect spot to enjoy Arcata

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely upstairs home. We walked everywhere including to the farmers market, grocery stores, and a restaurant. The fireplace creates a cozy spot where we enjoyed meals and conversation. We highly recommend you consider this lovely home and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Arcata.

A Great Little Place

We were in Arcata for a week to visit family. This VRBO was conveniently located to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping and walkable to the Marsh which is a bird sanctuary. The unit is cozy and is furnished with everything you need. It was located on the second floor. The washer and dryer is off the car port down below and it costs 3.50 to wash and dry a load. Make sure you have plenty of quarters. We found you had to wash the dishes and silverware before using as we discovered some were not clean because there is no dishwasher. We slept very comfortably. We would stay here again if we are in the area.
