Further details for this vacation house rental in Shelter Cove, California

'The View' : Mere words cannot describe the beauty and tranquility one sees and feels when they sit on the deck built off the top floor of 'The House' at Shelter Cove. 'Panoramic' is almost not descriptive enough. The ocean, the beach, the rocks, crashing waves, the mountains and stunning sunsets all in one magical spot. Add music, your favorite beverage, the near perfect weather and then just relax, you are taking in 'The View'.

'The Redwoods': Tall and straight, big and wide. These are the basic impressions one gets once they see these majistic trees. It does not stop there however, once you walk among these 1000 year old giants you never look at trees the same ever again. Only a 30 minute drive from 'The House', the Dewitt grove offers some wonderful hiking and a good number of the massive trees to get your Redwood Tree exploration started. Head North on US 101 (from Redway) just 2 miles, then take the the 'Avenue of the Giants' exit for the best Redwood Tree forest viewing anywhere.

'Big Black Sands Beach': The waves crash with tremendous force, the sand is black as night, the beach streaches for miles, you are standing on 'Big Black Sands Beach'. Beautiful, but this beach is for walking only, as the rip tide is deadly, so use caution around the water. A 1/2 mile North from the trailhead (only 1/4 mile from 'THe House'), are the stunning Kaluna cliffs and 1/4 mile to the South, the best climbing rocks (during the mid to low tides) in all the cove. The plumes of water shot from the waves hitting the rocks here can be incredible.

Big bite of coastline

Loralee Healdsburg, CA
Review Submitted: May 24, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
If you yearn for a bite of rugged Pacific shoreline, this place will provide it. It sits at the top of a short canyon with unobstructed views west over the ocean and north to a series of folds in the King Range. Not far below the deck waves crash and foam on a black sand beach.

The house is an anomaly in Shelter Cove, where developers have crowded the flat point and surrounding ridges with oversized second homes.

We found this roomy but compact house comfortable and well fitted out with kitchen equipment and appliances.

Shelter Cove is accessed by small plane or by car on an occasionally steep, but improved logging road off Hwy. 101. Weather can be unpredictable. Our stay during the first week in May brought rain showers and booming surf, sea fog and sunshine, each with dramatic effects.

There are no daily newspapers in Shelter cove and no cell phone reception, but the house has wire line phones and satellite TV. No broadband, but with the ocean at your feet, who needs it? This is a great spot for urbanites to recharge their batteries.

Part of a Vacation to Remember

PC - Check out up.edu Dallas, TX
Review Submitted: April 22, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
We stayed here mid-July '08. The weather was good for the most part. Humboldt County California is an outdoor person's paradise with a ton of stuff to do and see - fishing, hiking in the Redwoods (Richardson Grove is close), kayaking, etc.. While we were here, we hiked on the black sand beaches, saw seals/sea lions on the rocks just offshore, checked out star fish, went fishing on the jetty, relaxed, spent quality family time together and just enjoyed the ocean on the back deck. The house is very well built, nicely decorated and quite functional. The ocean view is outstanding. The only slight negatives that I can say is that the stores in Shelter Cove are pricey (though I didn't buy much). Stop at Redway or Garberville (22-25 miles to the East) to stock up on groceries before heading in. Also, there are no fishing licenses available in town (wow!), so we were forced to fish on the jetty (which was OK). Get one in the other towns or well before hand. Neither my wife nor I had cell phone reception in Shelter Cove. But the house has a land line. Bring a telephone long distance card with you if you need to. Be sure to use low gears on the drive in. The steep slopes down can rapidly heat up your brakes if you are not careful. Stop and enjoy the scenery every 5-10 miles and check. We plan to stay here again if we come back to Humboldt County, which we would very much like to do.
