10 Reviews of Property 184243 in Shelter Cove, California

My wife and I met with our son and daughter-in-law and spent an incredible week at this clean, bright home. The views are indeed stunning -- so much so we never turned on the entertainment system. Between beach walking, pleine aire painting, enjoying the Cove's sights, but mainly surrendering to the ocean sunsets, the rhythm of the surf, we all rejuvenated and discovered the pleasures of NOT caring to be "connected 24/7" to the world. Between redwoods nearby, the surf, cliffs, birds, and sunflower meadow at the edge of our cliff abode -- we cannot wait to return again! A true pleasure!

We shared the home with son and daughter-in-law. The setting is just stunning! They did pleine aire painting, we did calligraphy and walked the nearby beach. No need for the excellent entertainment unit: never used it -- the home and locale are it! Stayed a week and left calm & rejuvenated.Only left once to tour Humbolt Redwood Park. Great General Store nearby, Intriguing lighthouse and Seal Rock in the Cove itself. Rooms were spacious, clean, bright, not stuffed with owner frufru. Would rerent in a heartbeat! Not for those who need to be "connected" 24/7 -- a great chance to reconnect to partners and -- yourself!

We had a great stay. Very beautiful views. Spent a lot of time on the beaches in the tide pools. Looking forward to another visit.However I'm Still waiting on return of my deposit.

My family and I spent a wonderful weekend in the hidden gem that is Shelter Cove. We were all extremely pleased to have stayed in this comfortable home. The kitchen was well stocked, the home was clean, and the view from the deck is magnificent.

The owner is gracious and was very helpful in answering questions we had. Security deposit was returned with no delay.

Overall a pleasant experience. My husband and I look forward to returning someday soon.

We loved the home, and the owner and property manager could not have been more accomodating. We were thrilled to find the home clean and well stocked for our needs. We would love to have had a King bed, as both men in our party are 6'4". Be aware that the main living area is upstairs, so the person sleeping on the lower level must be able to negotiate stairs. In order to use the washer and dryer, which I may add were GREAT, you must go through the downstairs bedrooms to reach the washer and dryer. Having said that, I would still highly recommend this home. Our only regret is that we did not have more days to stay and enjoy the home and the awesome views! We saw Whales, Deer, Dolphin, sea lions. We grilled on a wonderful charcoal grill. What's not to like???? Our deposit was returned promptly.

Hello,

We are travelers and always rent out houses and have been doing it for the last 9 years. We never ever had the issue that we experienced in our stay on this property. I will be honest that House is in great location and patio is the one that you pay for but vacation comes as a whole package. The owner is really rude and has real attitude problems. First of all the house internally when we entered was not in good condition as it seemed like someone stayed there overnight. We had some issues in kitchen sink and garbage disposal and there was absolutely no one to contact and ask any question. Imagine being in remote place and unable to have access during business hours and then later ripped off for something you did not do.
Next day, i asked about garbage disposal and was told.. don't worry and don't use it but later i found out new charge on my stay and was taken out of my security deposit.
We were told about keeping trash etc at one place which we did and later on charged for not moving 5 feet away. We were really careful as we did pay security deposit and i always had my doubt that i will not get my full security deposit back and that is exactly what has happened. The owner has been rude since the first day we talked about renting house but then i thought i just need to stay for couple of night and THAT was a big mistake.

When you rent a place, you want the whole package and some compromises are ok but these need to be know before hand and that did not happen here intentionally.

I was told by property manager that owner has not much interest in upgrading or maintaining this property as he wants to sell this ASAP. That explains why we were charged extra as he has no intention of repeating customers.

I hope this review does get posted but this has been a horrible experience and would never ever rent again this property. The owner and property manager are shame to the vacation businesses as this experience will make me think twice before renting again!!!!

Our 4-day stay at the house was great. The ocean views are next to none; watching the sun set was always a daily highlight. The sounds of the crashing waves were very soothing. The house is isolated away from the ones near the shoreline which is nice if you want peace & quiet. The amenities make you feel right at home. I would definitely come back again.

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.
