Everything about our stay was GREAT! My husband enjoyed the sauna and my favorite part was relaxing on the couch with the fireplace going after rock hunting at the beach. No issues and plenty of amenities...we will be back!

As before this was the perfect place for us. I like that there are doors to separate living areas and everything is so comfortable. It was perfect to stay there with our son as he slept on the pull out couch and we slept in the bedroom. Having some outside space is really nice too and relaxing. We went for a really long walk right from the house, along the river and all the way to the beach. The scenery was beautiful with farmland areas and a people bridge across the river. It was even wonderful to do during the rain.

We ended our trip here and it was our absolute favorite place! Joellen was extremely kind & very communicative. We followed her recommendations and had a great time! The garden is beautiful and the home is beautifully designed, perfect for two people to stay comfortably. There is a bike rental a couple of streets down from the home, do not forget to spend an evening doing that! Everyone nearby is kind, and you are the perfect distance away from the beach, town & national park :)

I picked this location because it was close to the Redwood national Forrest which it is. I was traveling with my dog and the owners are very pet friendly. They had a fenced in backyard area off the bedroom, which was a nice bonus for her to be able to roam around and go to the restroom without being on a leash. The house itself is very quaint and has everything you would need and the outdoor sauna is very enjoyable! There is ample secure parking and instructions from the owner prior to coming and information in the house were extremely good. The beaches nearby are amazing and there are many that were pet friendly my dog and I had a very nice time and would stay again.

Sweet Oasis

Well designed... Beautifully decorated..peaceful and inviting... We loved our stay and plan on going back. The only problem was that the GPS directed us to the street behind the property. The kind neighbor came out and directed us to the correct street. aparently this was not the first time that this had happened as he knew exactly where we were trying to go.

Lovely home with great hikes from the door

This is a wonderful property, particularly for a couple travelling with a dog. The place is very clean. The kitchen is small, but well equipped. The bedroom is comfortable. The bathroom is particularly pretty with natural tile and a window overlooking the garden. The front garden is lovely with gated parking. The back garden is private and gated separately so the dog can go out the back door from the bedroom without having to be on leash. They provide a dog bed, which is nice because pets aren't allowed on the furniture. I put the dog bed in the hall closet so that it was out of the way and we could close it off from the living room at night. While I understand why the dog wasn't allowed on the couch, the dog did not, and he would have been sleeping on the couch if he had had access. The location was also perfect. There are great hikes in 3 directions easily walkable from the property and it is an easy drive to the redwood forests. The hosts were very responsive.

Beautiful little retreat home

What a lovely little apartment! The beautifully landscaped garden was an unexpected plus and the fenced in back yard would have been perfect if we'd brought our dog. Sadly, didn't recall seeing any of that reflected in the description. Joellen was extremely responsive, especially when we initially had a little trouble with the lock. And the place was spotless! Location was like being in the country, and one could easily have not gotten in your car during the whole stay with numerous hiking trails nearby. Highly recommend!

This place is a gem!

This place is so awesome and a little piece of paradise. The beach is approximately a two mile walk but it’s beautiful across a bridge over the river and down a road that has a bunch of farms. The unit itself was super clean, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated. There are nightlights in several spots which were super convenient, even one of the plants had lights that was a nice touch. The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and cooking things you might need. The backyard was just what we needed to let our dogs do their business without it being super inconvenient and to go outside and play while we were getting ready for our day. The gas stove was great for heating the living area and the electric heater did a great job at heating the bedroom. All of the instructions around the unit were super helpful. The front yard was the best- immaculate, peaceful, and amazing gardening skills with a beautiful fountain and even some resident frogs I didn’t get to meet oso, but my husband did and he said he was very friendly. Joellen was so nice to greet my husband and then later greeted me when we ran into each other on our walk to the beach. It was very spacious and the private parking was a nice touch so we didn’t have to worry about finding parking at all. Highly recommend for a vacation get away!
