It is cozy and charming and the stairs leading up are a hand built metal/wood masterpiece but may not be suitable for elderly and young children. (However it’s the requested room of my mother-in-law who’s 73 when she stays) ** We are happy to host your four legged family members and but ask that they stay off of the furniture and beds. The property is not fenced and it’s your responsibility to clean up after your pet.

An amazing place to stay! Very clean and functional for our time. Great view of the ocean. Wildlife was everywhere in the neighborhood with deer, foxes, pelicans, and seals. The place was within walking distance to cafes and local brewery.

Great place for families with adult children
I think this is a rare find. There are three bedroom with queen/king beds (rather than rooms with twin beds) on three different floors. This was perfect for our family with three adult couples and one three year old. The toys were a hit with our 3 year old. There are even discreet safety gates on the stairs.The main floor has plenty of room and the kitchen works well. The house is spacious. The house looks newly remodeled and really works well! The views are lovely, the main living space is sunny and we enjoyed the sunsets and view of the sea in the hottub. All the bedrooms are a good size which we appreciated. For once there is no "bad bedroom" that someone gets stuck with. All the bedrooms are lovely. The house has plenty of towels and generous supplies which lately has been an issue in other rentals. The owner is the most responsive owner we have ever had, We highly recommend this home. It was really a lovely space to spend time with our family.

Highly Recommend!
We had such a great stay at this home! It has everything you need, is extremely comfortable, and great location. We stayed here for a week while a few of us hiked the Lost Coast trail. The grandparents stayed at the house with the kids while we hiked. The kids LOVED it. The top floor “captains” room was perfect for them. There were also a ton of games for them to play, and they loved looking out the telescope and using the binoculars. They loved the hot tub and the great view. From the house you can also walk to the little coffee shop places or the brewery. The kitchen was fully stocked for everything you need. The TV and living room area was super cozy for movie nights or reading/relaxing. I can’t say enough good things. It was perfect! We came back after a few days on the trail and enjoyed a final night hanging out here. I highly recommend!

Clean & comfy home
This house was really wonderful. The decor is very tasteful. The whole place was SUPER clean. The only downside was there is no hot tub as listed which was a big bummer. The host was very prompt to respond, and check in was a breeze. I would recommend if you are ok with no hot tub. :)
Thank you!
