Great home with an amazing view

We stayed at the seadance home after viewing it at a meditation weekend on the cove. It was a great place for three couples to just relax and enjoy the amazing views out of every window. The house was stocked with everything you would want in a vacation rental. It was very clean, beds were comfortable, huge dvd selection we utilized the last night along with the pool table and outdoor fireplace. The owners were very responsive and kind. I will definitely come back to seadance and stay a few night again.

Family vacation at Seadance

Our family had a wonderful stay at Seadance! It was very comfortable and clean! My youngest daughter loved the desk area to do her sketches. The kitchen was well stocked too. The property is very well maintained and Gaby was very helpful. We look forward to staying here again on our next California vacation.

Unbeatable Space for Family + Friends

Here's a list of ALL of the things we enjoyed during our stay (in no particular order): a giant open floor plan for the kitchen and family / living room, a large beautiful lanai with a fire pit overlooking the ocean, three bathrooms (one with a clawfoot tub), extra fridge in the garage, bikes + cornhole set in the garage, plenty of space, a pool table upstairs, another large and covered lanai upstairs with chairs, walking distance to the brewery, cute little foxes running around, lots of deer... oh and a CHARCOAL grill (my favorite) as well as a gas one. I hope we can come back someday!

Our visit was great. House was awesome. Wildlife was unbelievably great. There we're deer and a fox on the back patio daily. Great views of the ocean. Very comfortable beds. Fully stocked kitchen. Our friends were in awe upon entering the house. Already planning a return stay. Wish the weather had been better, but one never knows what it'll be like in Shelter Cove. Over the years its been total fantastic sunny warm days and cold windy days on previous stays. One thing we'll always return to Shelter Cove no matter what the weather is like, its totally worth every minute. Excellent Ocean front home. Property manager was fantastic. Can't wait to book our return stay.

An immaculate home situated on the edge of the ocean!

Who doesn’t say “wow,” the moment they cross the threshold and take in the spectacular cliffs and waves crashing into shore! Seadance is appointed with everything we could possibly need and want. Comfy beds, beautiful kitchen which opened into the spacious living room. Cocktails on the second floor porch were most enjoyable. The pool table provided a lot of fun, as well. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Seadance house is the perfect family vacation spot. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook and entertain. The view is spectacular. The waves will lull you to sleep! It is absolutely perfect for a weekend or a month.

A little bit of Heaven

After the crazy 1 hr drive from the 101 you walk in the front door and realize it was well worth it! Spacious living areas, wonderful views, the symphony of the ocean 24/7, friendly people..... We drove out to the Redwood Forests on 4 of our days there and though the road out and back is wild just knowing what we were driving back to was a great peace of mind. We would certainly go back.

a dream

Stayed at Seadance years ago and loved it so much we came back to get married there. Absolutely gorgeous house with everything you could possible need. From assorted ziplocks, toiletries, tons of towels, tons of sheets/blankets, flashlights, bikes, extra fans, heaters and more: the best hosts of anywhere I’ve stayed. Can’t wait to keep returning.

Perfect

Of all vacation rentals, this was by far the best communication from owner and property manager. The home is very well supplied, the view cannot be beat and the Shelter Cove community was very welcoming.

Great Weekend on the Coast

We really enjoyed the amenities, including the pool table and movie selection. It was warm and cozy inside as a stormy, wind-blown sea raged outside. Will look forward to coming back!

Words Cannot Describe How Amazing This Place Is

I had found this property to rent for a family vacation. It looked great from the pictures, but pictures do not do the Seadance justice. The backyard/oceanfront was unsurprisingly the main feature, with hours spent just sitting and enjoying the moment as the waves crash. As for the surrounding area, Shelter Cove, it was a quaint little coastal town that was fairly hidden. The owners really thought of everything when preparing this place for guests, as there were many forms of entertainment. Truly an all-around special place to relax and enjoy nature.

Ocean get away with a few close friends. Great opportunity for reflection watching the waves crash in.

Lovely home with breathtaking views of the ocean. So relaxing and quiet. Our experience exceeded our expectations. The home is nicely equipped. We walked, cooked and visited with our friends on the patio.

The best vacation ever.

Everything about Seadance is first class, from the owner and site manager to the house and beautiful surroundings directly overlooking the Pacific. It is the most well-equipped vacation home we've ever visited. You won't be sorry.

A slice of heaven

The views & sunsets from this house were exceptional. The house was spotless & the kitchen was stocked with anything you could possibly need. The bikes & corn hole were an added bonus that we didn’t even know about before we got there. I would highly recommend this house!

Heidi and I immediately fell in love with Seadance. The home is full of warmth, beauty and is truly magical. You can feel the force of nature looking out over the Pacific Ocean with unobstructed views. Here in Shelter Cove, you will step back in time to a quaint fishing village and its’ natural beauty will exhilarate your soul. It certainly has touched ours!

Seadance is very special. Previous owners Mary, Anthony and her father David, took pride in preserving this pristine ocean front home. Heidi and I, as caretakers will continue to expand and improve the level of hospitality you have come to love at Seadance to its highest level.

We are excited to be a part of the community and to tie in our Gold Country roots www.hundredacreoliveoil.com with our Lost Coast Home, Seadance.

Stephanie Andrews has been the local manager of Seadance and will continue to take care of our guests. She has lived in Shelter Cove for many years and is a beautiful soul who loves to help people find joy in life. Guests appreciate the attentiveness Stephanie provides to ensure their stay is enjoyable. We hope you find your stay as relaxing and magical as we do.
