Beautiful View

I highly recommend staying at the Serenity Wave in McKinleyville area. It was super clean and well stocked. It was perfect for a getaway to walk the beaches of Northern CA and hike the trails of the Redwoods.

Great Place close to everything.

The house is located in a wonderful quiet neighborhood, in front of the beach with an amazing view. We loved stayed in the house since we drove to the Redwoods national park and other attractions in the area within minutes. Also there are some nice restaurants north close by also. I would recommend this house to a family with kids. Thanks Andy for your help all the time.

Beautiful view with quick access to the Redwoods!

Our host Andy thought of every detail! No need to bring or purchase minor conveniences. Fans are available in the bedrooms, there is a stocked Keurig coffee maker, tea bar, and plenty of items needed in the kitchen for a weeks stay. They even have laundry supplies, so you do not need to purchase anything but your food items. thank you for the hospitality Andy!

It Was Wonderful!

The property is located near the ocean in a nice residential neighborhood with an unobstructed view of beautiful sunsets. It is modern, very well stocked, and has more amenities than we were able to use. The kitchen has everything you would need including pods for the coffee maker and condiments in the refrigerator. The beds were very comfortable with a TV in each bedroom in addition to the main room. The outdoors is very nicely landscaped and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed everything about Serenity Wave starting with the expansive view of the ocean the minute you walk in the front door. Just wow! The owners thought of all the big and little things that make a trip comfortable and enjoyable. This will be our go to when visiting our daughter in the area.

What a gem!

This was a great property. We had 1/2 of a duplex. The hot tub was great. We used it several times a day. The sunsets from the back decks were beautiful. We did figure out how to get to the beach that for the ocean and it was awesome and quiet. Lots of shells. The kitchen was fully stocked and ready to cook. There were snacks and some essential ingredients for use. The beds were comfy. It was very clean and nice. We would definitely stay here again if we were to find ourselves back in Northen California. Andy was a great host and checked in to be sure we didn’t need anything.

Not enough time

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The owner could not have been more pleasant. We added a day to our stay we loved it so much. We grilled, got in the hot tub each night and saw three amazing sunsets right from the swing out back. The home was filled with many little extras that made it seem like home for a few days. I don't see how it could have been better. We had a great time. Thank you

Beautiful home

Enjoyed a wonderful stay while visiting our daughter at Cal Poly Humboldt. The property has all the comforts of home and lots of wonderful extras. Everything in the home is high-quality and well cared for. It was a very comfortable stay. The backyard is a gem and truly a magical paradise. Gorgeous sunsets and the opportunity to leave the stressors of home behind and just relax and unwind. My husband enjoyed the high-definition television in the living room. I loved the swing that overlooked the water and all of the birds that flew overhead. This place is truly a crown jewel of rentals. Thank you for a wonderful stay and exceptionally amazing communication at every step of the way, Andy!

House and Host Worth a Return Visit

Regardless of the winter weather, this house and host exceeded our expectations and will make us think seriously about returning to McKinleyville to explore this coastal area again. The hot tub and little thatched roof gazebo that face the river and ocean were great places to chill whether or not it was raining. The house was comfortable and clean, the neighborhood quiet and safe, and the area was what we hoped for. Andy, the host, was super responsive to us and even generously offered to pick up something at Costco if we needed anything since he needed to go there. This wasn't necessary since the house was so well-stocked with house supplies and there is a grocery store and a little shopping center just over a mile away. All in all, we had a great visit!

Hello!
I am a Humboldt County resident that has lived between Trinidad and McKinleyville most of my life. I retired a few years back after owning my own cabinet manufacturing business for the past 30 years. These days I enjoy spending most of my time outdoors. A few of the hobbies that I enjoy the most are landscaping, painting, traveling and I recently started playing guitar again.

A couple of my sayings in life are… If nothing changes… Nothing changes!
