Charming getaway

Adorable, well maintained cottage with great privacy. Walk to Hammond path should be a priority, fern walk cannot be beat! Bring your wine, a good book and enjoy an evening listening to the waves. Pure relaxation.

We loved our stay at Shore Acres! The property is beautiful and perfect for the kids and dog! The views of the coast were amazing and we took the short walk down to the river many times. The house is old, but very well maintained and updated. That being said, don’t expect everything to look or work perfectly. We appreciated all the linens and kitchen items, and the fun extras like the telescope and pingpong table! We will definitely stay here again when we’re in the area.

A perfect visit

We had to stay in the Arcadia area for several days and were excited to book this rental. It provide and excellent and very quiet place to stay along the northern coast of California, with a spectacular view of the mad river and the ocean. The house is well stocked with everything a renter would need for cooking, vacationing, sleeping, etc. And it is pleasantly comfortable as well. Not all rentals provide the same level of comfort that this one does. We will come back in the future and highly recommend this place and the renter who provides quick and kind communications.

This place is all about the outdoors.

Cozy country cottage for a perfect couple’s get away. Says it will sleep 6 but that would be too close for comfort for all but the tightest group. Two bedrooms each with a queen bed would work for four, but the small living area with just a couch and one recliner would be tight for indoor seating. It was like visiting great grandmas with all of the antique furnishings. But this place is all about the outdoor space. Beautiful river and ocean views. We enjoyed the outdoor seating on the deck and around the firepit.

My family of four enjoyed walking to the mad river and exploring. The house had everything we needed and more. Sitting by the fire in the evening was the perfect way to end a day full of hiking.
