Outside, you'll find a large fenced backyard, a spacious deck, and a BBQ grill—perfect for sunny afternoons. Our kitchen is stocked with all major cooking and baking utensils such as pots, pans, measuring cups, etc., as well as some specialty appliances such as a KitchenAid mixer, Ninja air fryer, Ninja blender, six-burner oven, electric tea kettle, and both a drip coffee and K-Cup machine (please note: coffee not provided).

Guests have access to street parking, a private driveway, and garage space. Please note: your nightly rate includes a 10% McKinleyville Transient Occupancy Tax and a 2% Humboldt County Lodging Alliance tax, collected on behalf of the city and county.

We’re pet-friendly! A $30 per dog, per day fee applies—guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pets.

The host obviously went above and beyond in providing for her guests. The kitchen was well equipped and there were thoughtful touches throughout to make for a comfortable stay. The bathroom was quite small but functional with a shower that was both great and good-sized. Everything worked.

From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The property was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described — if not better! Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the comfortable beds and well-stocked kitchen to the cozy decor that made us feel right at home.Communication with the host was seamless — responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The location was ideal: close to everything we needed, but peaceful enough to relax and unwind.This was one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever experienced, and we’re already looking forward to returning. Highly, highly recommend!

Great property, completely updated throughout. Check in was a breeze with no hiccups. And did Toni think of everything, amenity-wise? Yes! Fresh, fluffy towels, quality cookware, a variety of small kitchen appliances for use - even those little clips for chip bags. Beds are also new and quite comfy. One note of caution: it doesn't show in the pics so well, but the driveway is steep and the hump over the sidewalk is prominent. If you have a lower vehicle as we do, it may scrape the bottom unless you approach from an angle. All in all, a great stay - thanks!
