They live up to their name. Five stars all around. This is how every rental should be. Easy to communicate, answered all questions promptly. Proactively sent messages about things to do at the house for check in and out. And the place was perfect. Added bonuses, black towels for makeup, very nice sheets, nice set of binoculars to view the ocean. They even arranged a nice little sunset for our last night. Ok, maybe that last part wasn't their doing, but really, this place was great. Highly recommend.

Clean, well stocked, and great location. We drove to many places in the redwoods state and national parks within 45 minutes north and south, and there are 5-6 really nice beaches within a 15 minute drive.

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.

Fantastic. Everything you could want out of a vacation home. Gorgeous views of the ocean, lush gardens and plants all around the property, so peaceful. We came to spend a few days hiking the Redwoods and found ourselves wanting to head back to the property early each afternoon just to enjoy the deck, the sun, and the ocean breeze. Well stocked with any kitchen appliance, tool, or gadget you could need. Extra towels, blankets, and linens. Complimentary snacks, coffee, tea, condiments. Fast internet. TVs in every room. Even a cupboard of games, cards, and books. Very clean and comfortable. 3 minutes from town and the grocery store. Just top notch all around! This is the place to stay when visiting the Redwoods and surrounding area. Thank you, Andy!

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.

Wonderful Property

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.

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.
