Yes!

We (me, wife, our 2 young boys and their grandma) absolutely loved our stay here. It is clean, spacious, and comfortable. It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, and there are multiple grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance. There are many amazing hikes and beautiful beaches just a short drive away.

Weekend away

The property was in a non-descript neighborhood off the main drag of Mckinleyville. Easy to get to places. The house was clean, provided for basic necessities. A few games or books would have been a nice touch.

Neat place with a nice yard

This place is neat. Big back yard for the kids, a nice layout and in a nice neighborhood. It’s off the main drag but tucked away so not a lot of traffic. We would return for sure. The decorations inside are nice as well.

The house was not completely cleaned upon arrival

Review goes to the housekeeper she charged extra for the trash left outside basically she said how can people eat too much because we accumulated too much trash, had a small dinner for my daughter’s graduation of coarse there was more trash, no extra trash bags in the house, crumbs on the floor upon arrival we had to clean the floors we had a baby with us, toilet in main room with a nasty black rim inside toilet. A very nice place overall, my daughter brought her dog which I forgot to let the owner know,taken full responsibility, house was cleaned before we left, something or someone had gone through the trash can made a bit of a mess, we have no control of what happened after our departure. Needless to say a bit dissatisfied please check the house before entering make sure is properly cleaned.

Couldn't be more comfortable and convenient. Well-equipped and well-provisioned, just as described. Loved the mattress and seating, and enjoyed the outdoor space. A grill would have been nice. But we needed the laundry capability more.

Trip to the Redwoods

This home is a great base for seeing the Redwoods, Avenue of Giants to the south, Trees of Mystery to the north! The house is just how described, very comfortable and it had everything we needed. The large yard is beautiful and a huge plus. It is also close to shopping and fast-food options. The hosts thought of everything. I would certainly recommend this home.

Cute, clean, and comfy

It feels like visiting family if you have family you like. :) The decor is cute/homey and a bit eclectic. The place is super clean. And the whole place is STOCKED with all you could need... except beach towels so bring your own. We were very comfortable. Communication with the host before our trip was so friendly and helpful. Truly a great place and a great host!

Adorable, fully-stocked house with amazing yard

This house is on a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from the grocery store and restaurants. The owners have this house well-stocked with everything you’d need except your groceries. The yard was shockingly large and had lovely flowers, shade, and a seating area. For anyone with fragrance sensitivities, you can smell the fragrance from cleaning products when you enter (as one would expect in a pet-friendly house with carpet), but it wasn’t overwhelming. We didn’t see any pet hair on the furniture or on us, even after playing board games in the floor with our kids. The house was lovely and there was an abundance of storage space for clothes and personal items in the bedrooms. We had a lovely stay in this home and hope you do the same!
