Home Away From Home

Came to visit our daughter in college and brought the whole family. Accommodations and location were perfect for our family of 5. We were able to cook when we wanted to stay in, kitchen was well stocked, we did have to supply down to the condiments but there were spices and oils on hand. Quiet little neighborhood with an area for our dog to enjoy safely. Pet toys, puzzles and games were a bonus as well. Perfect location to visit our student at Humboldt and enjoy Arcata and the sounding areas.

Clean

We were going leased with the layout, location and size of home. It was great for visiting our college student. Only thing that would have made it better were if kitchen had a meat thermometer, foil or plastic wrap or even some containers to store leftovers during visit. Otherwise, it was great and we would recommend!

Review

Overall property was great. Just 2 things to mention- the dishwasher was not emptied but we just treated it like a cupboard. The master shower head is broken so if you don’t have it straight, water spurts out the top all over the bathroom. We left it straight to see the issue you’ll need to angle it down.

Great Arcata house but a dog has lived here.

Great house. Roomy. Garage. Kitchen was decently stocked. Our only complaint is that there is dog hair and very clearly a dog has lived here recently. White dog hair ended up on our packs. Our son is allergic to dogs so we weren’t psyched. Other than that it was a great place in the Arcata bottoms.

Lovely home in Arcata

I enjoyed the fact that the house was well equipped, comfortable, and clean. The front door code was problematic and I ended up having to contact the housekeeper who told me how to access an actual key. I would suggest offering renters the key option right up front to avoid the frustration of not being able to open the front door. Other than that, I really liked the house and would rent it again.

Our Second Stay Here

The location works well for us and none of the decor is so precious that I have to worry about the grandkids damaging anything. The floor plan is unique with the primary suite in the very back, with the bulk of a one-car garage between it and the living room and a large-ish laundry room between it and the two front bedrooms. It’s a great arrangement with older children, but might be an issue with very young ones.

Great spot close to downtown Arcata

Brought some friends to visit my CalPoly student. This house was clean, conveniently located, great parking, great kitchen, easy check in. We had a blast hiking, shopping the Saturday market, hunting for agates at Agate Beach, visiting Sue-meg State Park. Will definitely be back!

Would Definitely Rent Again

This home worked very well for two seniors and two school-aged grandchildren. It’s in a quiet area, has a south-facing deck (a very good thing in chilly, damp Arcata!) and lots of windows in the kitchen/great room area. We appreciated that it was nice, but not model-home-perfect. A few little imperfections made it feel more like home. The location is convenient to the shops and restaurants of Arcata with about a 15 minute walk.

Great neighborhood

The kitchen was stocked with pretty much everything you would need to cook meals including spices. Super quiet, parking in the driveway and street parking. We felt extremely safe here. The pictures online were a clear representation of the house. Actually seemed a bit larger, super happy with our choice.
