About this property

Serenity by the Sea

Be among the first to discover the uniquely well-preserved lumber mill town of Samoa as it undergoes renovation. Located in the most well preserved logging town in CA and just across the bay from historic old town Eureka--perfectly situated for a redwood coast vacation. Walk to the beach, enjoy a view of the bay from the patio, or jump back on the 101 just 5 minutes away and head towards the local sights. Light and airy, this space is ideal and artist's retreat or a couple's getaway to the coast
The space
This nearly 800 square foot cottage packs a punch with its completely restored interior and perfectly situated location for all of your Redwood Coast adventures. Inside the home you will find a completely renovated kitchen with custom cabinets, quartz counter tops, farm sink and stainless appliances. The kitchen has everything you might need to cook a meal after a long day of exploring the local sights. Being that it is a smaller cottage, the house is best suited for small families, couples and solo travelers.

The primary suite holds a King-sized bed, small closet area, bookshelf and seating area. The guest room makes the most out of the small space with a queen size bed and a couple seating areas.

The living room has one couch and extra chairs are available throughout the house for you to setup various areas to sit, relax, and enjoy the house in whatever capacity works best for your group. A large back deck just off of the laundry area makes for an ideal place to enjoy the views of the Humboldt Bay.

The completely refinished bathroom has a shower/tub combo.
Guest access
Guests will have full access to the entire house, including the two completely fenced off yards on each side of the house, and large deck located off of the back of the house. There are two spots for parking in front of the house as well.
Other things to note
This entire community is undertaking a complete renovation as the company that bought it in 2015 plans to honor the historic structures while also adding the necessary modern developments to make a point of interest. That being said, construction noise can be heard on weekday mornings starting at about 8-8:30 am, and can be heard intermittently throughout the day. This place is ideal for those that plan on being out and about during the weekdays (there is no construction going on on the weekends and holidays), or those that don't mind a little noise here and there.

There are wall heaters throughout the house to keep it to the desired temperature in each room. It can take just a bit of time for the living room to warm up upon arrival. We are installing a pellet stove this week to make the warming process much more efficient.
