Shell Cottage

Make this cottage by the beach your home away from home, and enjoy an unforgettable getaway with your family or friends! Shell Cottage is a private cottage on a canal with a securely fenced front and back yard for your kids. Dock access is gated and offers a slip for canoes, kayaks, and rowboats if you choose to bring them. The Shell Cottage sits right on a canal in King Salmon, a fishing village just six and a half miles south of Eureka, where you can find several malls, theaters, convenience stores, dining options, and more! The thriving arts communities in Victorian Ferndale, Arcata, and Eureka have much to offer day and night, including live shows, art exhibits, and community events. Del Arte in Blue Lake always puts on incredible, innovative shows. If anyone in your group is a cinephile, a little further away, they can find Prairie Creek State Park (where Return of the Jedi was filmed) and Fern Canyon (where Jurassic Park was filmed); both are 54 and 58.5 miles away, respectively.

The living room features a large TV with cable and DVD, a comfortable sitting area with a queen sofa bed, and fresh nautical charm, creating the perfect ambience for endless relaxation. The well-equipped kitchen will help you prepare the most delicious snacks and meals you can enjoy indoors or at the picnic table in the front yard for some outdoor dining. The backyard also has seating by the dock and canal.

Could not make it
I injured my knee the evening before I was to drive up to King Salmon, so was unable to enjoy Shell Cottage, and too late for any refund! I had stayed previously however, and it was lovely; hence my desire to return.

Good property, strangely pushy property management
Property was great. Got emails from the property management company every single day asking me to review until I finally posted a review. Way too much email from that company. Almost like they were desperate.

Shell Cottage love
This little cottage was perfect for us. It had a fenced in space for our little girl both front and back. It’s decorated with plants and foliage very nicely. The only negative we have is that the couch is pretty stained up, but clean. We enjoyed our stay and if ever in the area will stay there again. Felt very safe and even tho Interesting neighbors, everything and everyone was friendly and welcoming.

Nice Cottage but area its not so nice
The whole process to get inside its ridiculous- lock on gate, unlocking box to get key, bolted front door to access mud room plus main door - so two doors - to get inside. Over all the cottage its nice to sleep and all, could use some upgrades. The internet is not fast at all, also no working cable or tv programming. Just like the free channels or air tv, Also since a company manages the property its hard to get someone or a quick response.

Nice crash pad for a race
We stayed here for a local race —Avenue of the Giants— and it’s great. Neighborhood is a bit weird, but that wasn’t a problem.

Nice accommodation but unsure about the setting
We arrived about 8pm and found the outside gate padlocked so we couldn’t get in. This was not in our list of arrival instructions. Luckily the Vrbo 24 hr hotline quickly sorted us out. The house is very nice and comfortable but we weren’t sure about the setting. It is a very short walk from the house to a coastal path along the sea but the back and front garden areas of the house were completely enclosed so I felt a bit claustrophobic. I though we could sit out the back and enjoy views of the canal but that wasn’t possible. It is a sweet house to stay in if you are out all day and just need somewhere to eat and sleep. I don’t think it is a place to actually ‘holiday’ in.

Very nice and clean.
Excellent little house. Needed two bedrooms and two bathrooms for our needs. We are two elderly couples there for the Fortuna Auto Expo. Had a great weekend, thank you 😊
