Wonderful place to stay in Shelter Cove

We had a great time during our 3 day stay. The house was in a wonderful central location in town and served as a great home base for our Northern California adventures. Any issues we had were promptly addressed by Mahlah.

Shelter Cove getaway

We had another WONDERFUL time at this property! Communication is a breeze, check-in very easy, and the house is absolutely adorable! Sitting out on the deck watching deer cross, planes landing and taking off, and the watching the ocean, was just what we needed to rejuvenate! Thank you for sharing your special Shelter Cove home with us - we can’t wait to return!

Beautiful and Relaxing

We really enjoyed our stay here! Such a beautiful town and this home was perfect and comfortable! Fully stocked with everything we needed and the kids loved the game room! We just brought our food and clothes and everything was there! The deck was perfect for relaxing in the evening to watch the sunset and the deer wandering by. Love it and will definitely be back again!!

Great time at Sea View!

We stayed at here for three nights during the July 4 week. Our family didn't want to leave! We enjoyed the cozy fireplace and incredible view from the front room. The game room with ping-pong, darts and more was a big hit. The house was tidy and decor inviting. Hard to beat the location as it's just a short walk to nature trails, tide pools and more. Would stay again!

Shelter Cove Gem

Stunning interior and exterior. Attention to detail and beautiful decor. We arrived and parked and played - everything is in walking distance. Relax on the front deck or inside and enjoy a front row seat to the ocean and wild life. Don't forget to relax outside in the evening to see all the stars and hear the ocean bid you a wonderful good night.

Sweet ocean views

We loved our stay in this sweet little cottage! The tv room was great for my daughter, the bunk bed room/ 2nd room is tight not suitable for an adult! Grandma bumped her head a few times, a perfect place for a family with kids! Walked to the farmers market and the community center, there is even a play ground behind fire station, the kids garden and small library! Such a cute little magical place! We were here for 4th of July and loved it!

Looking to get away from it all? This is the place!

Shelter Cove in general and this cute bungalow in particular are not to be missed if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet escape with amazing views. This place is cute, comfortable and has everything you could want for either a short or extended stay. This sleepy little town has abundant wildlife that simply wander throughout the community, unfazed by humans. Deer and foxes were spotted daily! We slept, ate, read, explored and watched the ocean. It was perfect, and we hated to leave. We felt so lucky to have found this little piece of paradise, and would love to return.

This house was exceptionally clean. The views are amazing. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your ocean side meals. We celebrated a birthday, xmas, an anniversary and a proposal. Thank you for a beautiful home to enjoy all our celebrations. If you want a beautiful remote place to stay, this is one for you. Lots of places to see and eat for such a tiny little gem. The only thing I would, take note of is the bbq needs an upgrade. We used it anyways and our dinner was perfect. We will return in the warmer months

Beach House

Our family had a wonderful stay here. First off the house was very clean and organized. Really appreciated the bathroom’s and kitchens having everything you need. The garage was a nice set up and the kids enjoyed playing the darts and ping pong table. The third room was fully stocked with games and puzzles. The home was beautifully decorated and truly made you feel like you were on vacation. We appreciate you guys making your home pet friendly.

Coastal Escape

What a lovely area to call home for a few days! The weather is gorgeous, and this house is perfectly located to take in all the local adventures. We had daily visits from the deer in the lot across the street, and the sunsets were to die for! Close walk-able options for food and an easy drive down to Black Sand Beach. We had such an amazing time just reconnecting with family and enjoying this little house - board games, ping-pong in the garage... We would absolutely stay here again! Bonus - there was even a telescope for stargazing! :)

A Gem of A House

We just finsihed an 11 night stay in this gem of a house. What a magical place. Both Shelter Cove and this beautifully decorated, spotless home were far beyond any expectations. Imagine being at the edge of a vast wildnerness with a stunning view of the roaring Pacific Ocean, in a gorgeous and thoughfully appointed home with every conveniance. Add a wonderful cast of daily visitors; hawks, grey fox, deer, and birds of every stripe. Paradise.
