We absolutely loved this home. And it felt just like that - a very comfortable home that came with an amazing view! Alessandra thought of everything you could want for cooking, provided wonderful quality and comfort of bedding and furnishings, and added so many thoughtful items throughout the home. I also so appreciate how helpful and responsive Alessandra was in answering my questions during packing, making sure we knew what we did and didn’t have to bring. It was truly such a pleasure to stay here!

What a beautiful property! The bed was comfortable, there were plenty of towels and linens,and the view was unmatched. We loved the high end appliances too! The ocean view hot-tub was a perfect treat and very clean. The only criticism would be that the hand soap (bar soap) for the second bathroom had been used. The one in the primary bedroom was brand new and good quality though. Definitely can’t wait to come back again!

We want every detail of your stay to be perfect, so we will make sure our turnover team ensures brand-new soaps are placed in all bathrooms moving forward. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we cannot wait to welcome you back to our coastal getaway!

This is an absolutely beautiful home with a stunning view! Black Sands Beach is gorgeous and very close by. The home had everything we needed (and more) for our stay. The hostess provided the check-in information a few days earlier than expected which I really appreciated.

The ocean view was spectacular! The furnishings, kitchen appliances, layout and serenity of Sunset Villa is exceptional! Communication was also excellent and the check-in process was seamless. Shelter Cove is a hidden gem. The California Coast of bygone days and a romantic setting that cannot be beat.

Redwoods / Humboldt Cty Trip

Stunning property with majestic views. The views are really beyond description. Ocean and waves and crashing surf forever. The house itself is so well-designed and of such high quality materials that you’d enjoy your trip even if it rained continually and you were forced to stay inside the entire time.

Amazing!!!

This place was amazing with outstanding views of the ocean and a short walk to Black Sands Beach where we saw whales, seals, and a beautiful sunset. The owner thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. I only wish they had properties at every destination we want to visit in the future - we would always choose their property!!

Perfect Place in Shelter Cove

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your place in Shelter Cove. The house was perfect for 4 friends to meet up, cook meals together, sip wine on the deck, enjoy the incredible view, plan hikes and beach walks, complete a jigsaw puzzle, and watch movies together. It was extremely well equipped. We whole-heartedly recommend it!

We began our adventurous travel from Austin, TX into San Fran to drive the legendary Hwy 1 and 101. This house was breathtaking, peaceful and a calming paradise. The architecture and aesthetics of this home is brilliantly thought out with the perspective of what would make it a memorable stay for anyone. Every nook and cranny plays an intricate factor of the view for the eyes of the beholder. We hope to come back soon. Thank y'all for sharing this space of wonderous beauty with us!
