Great house super close to the ocean

Our first trip to Shelter Cove and this was a great place to stay. Super close to the ocean with several parks very close walking distance along the coast. Lots of wildlife around to watch with deer and fox hanging around the house. We recommend this place.

Great beach location

Lovely house (apart from stairs—the raised edges made it uncomfortable to come down them sans shoes). Very cozy, beautiful stained glass insets throughout. Location was amazing. quiet and enjoyable. Made for a very relaxing vacation.

The best house and location

This is our second time coming to Shelter Cove and renting the same house. It's always clean, you can find everything you need to cook, and this house's location is just a 1m walk from the ocean.

Shelter Cove House, hosted by Alessandra

Alessandra was great, we couldn't figure out how the TV worked so she came over,called the owner, and had us up and running in no time. If we had a question, we would text her, and she would get right back to you with an answer, I really couldn't want a better host. The property was very nice also. Almost to nice for a vacation home.

Great Shelter Cover Retreat

This is a very comfortable home, located just off Lower Pacific Drive, which follows the rocky coastline. Although there are homes on the ocean side of this road, there are also frequent public access areas, making this a great place for morning and afternoon walks with my pup. I enjoyed the nearby coffee shop, with stunning views from the patio, but more than anything, I enjoyed the beauty and relaxed atmosphere of Shelter Cove. Deer visited this home daily and at night, in the distance, I loved hearing the night bark of the sea lions. I will be back!

Gem - power down stay

This home is a keeper of a getaway. We have visited this home/area for at least 4 to 5 years, & at least 2x a year now. This was a great find. Appreciate nature and all her surroundings. People are so friendly, fisherman share their catch, Gyppo ale mill is enjoyable. Safe and clean area. Humboldt County has MUCH to offer. ~C~

Perfect Hideaway

This quaint, cozy home was exactly what my family was looking for as a holiday hideout on the coast! We were able to cook, grill, relax, walk, golf, and frequent both the brewery and pizza place nearby (both fantastic). This was our first time in Shelter Cove and it is both remote and beautiful. We loved hearing the ocean roar, watching the deer on their daily visits, and catching beautiful sunsets between rainy days. The home was clean and comfortable, with soft bedding and plenty of comfy towels. Alessandra was helpful and communicative, giving us a heads up that we could access the trash cans on trash day (very helpful as you must otherwise keep all trash stashed inside the home due to wildlife and the cans being kept in a locked space inaccessible to guests). We also really enjoyed the artwork throughout the home, including stained glass and lovely photography. If you are looking to truly "get away" and enjoy the Lost Coast, this is wonderful place to do it!

Very Comfortable and Clean Home.

The home was located right near the ocean as it claimed. Very nicely furnished and lovely artwork adorned the walls. I loved the stain glass windows as well. The house was very clean and supplied with fresh linens on beds and in bathrooms. One of the toilets was not working when we arrived. I texted the owner and she sent someone over to fix it with in 30 minutes. Very much appreciated the quick response! We all enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, warm, and lovely home.

Nice house, nice location

The house was nice and you have an ocean view from almost every room. Both bedrooms are upstairs and share a bathroom. The master bedroom is open, no doors. There was just the two of us so no issues with privacy. The host left a nice gift basket with snacks, however, there wasn't any coffee 😕 The cupboards contained lots of old outdated food. Furniture was ok, everything seemed to be old.
