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.

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 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.

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!

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~

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.

Wonderful House in a Great Location

This house is about 100 feet away from the ocean…one can see the water and hear the waves quite nicely. Since Shelter Cove has not been fully built up, there is plenty of empty space around this house and it feels wonderful. The place is quite clean and the furnishings are well appointed. It has 1) a great washer and dryer, 2) real hot water (versus those places that only offer very warm water!), 3) sleep number beds, 4) gas cooking (versus those terrible electric ranges), satellite TV with hundreds of stations, a good heater that responds well to the thermostat. There are several places to eat around here…a couple of bars and grills, a pizza place, and a Venezuelan restaurant (quite popular but only open a few days a week). There is a small grocery store with limited items. (Best bet is to bring supplies in). The only caveat I have to mention is to warn light sleepers…the master bedroom is a loft…which means one hears EVERY sound in the house. I could hear the coffee percolating, refrigerator doors opening and, of course, the TV downstairs. Our family had to instigate rules if someone was trying to sleep…”please talk in muffled tones, keep the TV sound down real low, and walk quietly throughout the house”. That plan worked fine…and of course, if you are a heavy sleeper, there is no problem.

Lost coast fishing trip

The property is located within walking distance of a couple of established restuarants, the lighthouse located on Point Delgado, and also tide pools that are exposed at low tides for viewing of wildlife. We were visited by local deer herds multiple times during daylight hours. Our stay was primarily our annual fishing trip for coastal rock fishing. Our boat broke down on day 2 of 6, so we spent the time visiting local areas we never spent much time with before, and took drives to some remote areas such as Whitehorne and the Mattole River. The house was completely stocked as mentioned in the adds, Allessandra was accurate in her photos. The one thing that we brought along that came in handy was a folding table for the lower deck patio which allowed us to eat outside. The internet is ok, sometimes a little slow, but the location is great for cellular coverage on most providers.
