Lovely home located 'above the fog line' in a secluded coastal community. Twenty-one miles through steep curvy roads from US Hwy 101, it is a beautiful area with coastal old growth redwoods and wild coast and tame wildlife. I stayed a month. It is worth an extended stay to really feel the atmosphere.

Shelter cove stay

Easy to find and access Had everything we needed Host very responsive One suggestion- please get new pillows as their were only 2 per bed and they were very flat We had to plump up with decorative pillows for those who like a thicker pillow or need another pillow under their knees We really only slept at the house as all our meals were covered by the event we were there for And it was quiet

Perfect Stay

Property was perfect but the property manager gave us the wrong phone number and the property address was incorrect because it was the wrong city on the listing and couldn't find on Google maps. She got back to us but it was a bit nerve racking
