It was a beautiful location! Amazing views and grounds. It’s close to the Redwoods and several charming towns, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the property itself is peaceful and well maintained. We had a wonderful stay and absolutely recommend it. We’d love to come back!

It was a beautiful location! Amazing views and grounds. Close to all of the activities we wanted to do. Redwoods and beaches are all close to cottage. Plenty to do in the surrounding area as well. The home is very comfortable and has everything you need for a family. Great communication and responsive to all our questions. The only issue we had was not being able to stay longer!!! It is well worth to stay an extended time.

Perfect location with beautiful ocean views and everything you need for a comfortable stay. It’s close to the Redwoods and several charming towns, making it a great home base for exploring the area. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the property itself is peaceful and well maintained. Even with the rain, we were still able to enjoy the covered patio. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend it. We’d love to come back someday!

The home was decorated well, matched the photos, and had comfortable, clean furniture and bedding. We felt safe during our stay. The view was lovely, the location was good, and there were games and books available. The kitchen was adequately stocked with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, and a few spices. Before check-in, we requested to drop off luggage since we were arriving early, and management agreed — very helpful.However, upon arrival, the home was extremely hot upstairs due to large windows facing the sun. There’s no central air (which we knew), but there were no screens on the windows with the best breeze, so opening them let in mosquitos. After texting, someone offered to bring box fans.We soon noticed ants in the kitchen (with bait already out, so clearly a known issue) and that the downstairs rug hadn’t been vacuumed well. That evening, the upstairs tub barely drained and was clogged with hair. All but one smoke alarm had been removed, and more ants appeared. I emailed and was told someone could come the next day.They provided temporary window screens, offered to vacuum (I had already done so), said they’d spray for ants, and reinstall smoke detectors. However, the ant problem worsened — showing up in the kitchen, laundry room, near the front door, in the primary bathroom, and eventually in my son’s bed. We were refunded the cleaning fee.Would we return or recommend? Probably not, though with improvements, it could be a much better rental.
