More info about the house: The house faces the south, so it gets direct sunlight for most of the day. The house is newly constructed and finished in Jan of 2020. The architectural style is unique, in that it is built almost entirely of concrete, including stamped concrete radiant heated floors. The house has 4 levels and 3300 ft2. We are about 300 feet above sea level and 1/2 mile from the water, which is just far enough from the water to have a safe place for kids to play and you get better weather (more sun, less wind, and fog) , but you can still hear the sounds of the waves below. You are surrounded by a beautiful view of fir trees and lush green vegetation from the wetland that extends in the back of the property. As you pull up to the house you will see the entrance and a patio to the right. You enter the house on the 4th level, which is a 400ft game room. Here is a favorite spot to hang out and enjoy a game of ping pong or throw darts. There is a 65 inch TV that is ready to hook up your gaming system. Also, a floor to ceiling chalkboard is great fun for the kids. This room can also serve as a 5th bedroom and has a queen futon that is pretty comfy. This room can sleep 2. You enter the main part of the house and descend several stairs to the 3rd level. The house has an open concept, so you are looking down into the great room and see the 5 massive windows that provide views of the forest and wetland. Overlooking the great room is the desk that is custom made from a slab of Walnut. You will have access to the 27inch mac for any work that you need to do during your stay. You will see many accents, railings, and shelves that are custom made from local hardwoods. Also, you will see the 25-foot walls in the great room, clad with shiplap. The room has an open feel to and is the highlight of the house. Going past the desk leads you into the Master Bedroom. Here there are windows with shutters that open to the great room below. Also, a balcony off the master bedroom overlooks the backyard 20 feet below. You can listen to the waves from Black Sands Beach and watch the stars that are fantastically bright on the Lost Coast. The room has a king-size bed and a couch that opens into a queen bed. There is a 55 inch TV and the room sleeps 4 comfortably.

The stairs lead down to the main level of the house (level 2). Here you will see the Great Room that features power reclining couches and a 75 inch 4k TV with 7 speaker surround sound. We love to watch movies or listen to music. The sound system is connected to Alexa for voice commands, "Hey Alexa Play Johny Cash".

There is over a mile of pex tubing that runs under the stamped concrete floors. There are 4 zones in the house, each controlled with a Nest thermostat. The feeling of warm floors under your feet is really nice after coming back from a day at the beach. You can control the temperature of the house from the nest app or Alexa. We can remotely turn on the heat to your desired temperature prior to your arrival. The backyard has a covered stamped concrete patio with a hot tub to relax after a day of the tide pools.

Dec 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A fun place to spend Christmas Our family rented Black Sands at Shelter Cove (property ID 1846899), looking to do something different for the Christmas holiday. We had five adults, four kids from 11 to 16, so we need something roomy and comfortable. The Black Sands house fit the bill perfectly. The kitchen came well equipped with everything we needed. The kids made good use of the ping pong table and video equipment in the game room. The sofas (family and game room) were very comfortable. There was a roomy fenced in area off the bottom floor, a real plus for pets. The house's heating was in the floor, which I was a bit skeptical about, but worked very well; and there were nest thermostats throughout the house for different areas. There were lots of entertainment options – TVs in each bedroom, the family room, and the game room, and an excellent stock of DVD-blu ray movies. The hot tub got use too, especially by the kids. The house is close to Black Sands beach and overlook, a fun place to wander around and a great place to watch a sunset. We also had a great time exploring the tidepools and the beach at Mal Coombs park. The hosts, Jon and Katie were very helpful and responsive. We communicated via text and e-mail, and they replied quickly. We did run into a toilet problem in one of the three bathrooms and they had someone out to fix it the day after Christmas, which we appreciated. All in all, the Black Sands house helped make our travel Christmas experience an enjoyable one. ##### David R. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa S.

The beds were so comfortable, there’s space for everyone to gather in the kitchen area but also enough privacy. The host responded quickly to any questions. My husband, 3 adult sons and I were there to see the Redwood trees - wow!! - can’t even describe how beautiful they are. The house is also so close to black sands beach which is breathtaking. The general store had everything we needed for our stay and we also visited the local brewery which was great. It’s very difficult for us to align our schedules to take a trip so it has to be special-this is!! We all agreed this was absolutely one of our best vacations.

The house was roomy enough for all 3 families to enjoy Thanksgiving and a few days of rest and relaxation. The game room was great except only 1 dart worked. The hot tub was nice but reheating after draining took over 12 hours not the 4 hours mentioned in the video so plan accordingly if draining. Would stay here again if ever in Shelter Cove. ##### doug s.

The floor palm was very open and unique! The area was in a quiet neighborhood and we were able to walk to the nearby Black Sand Beach! We also traveled up through the Avenue of the Redwood Giants and walked several trails in the State Parks that are in the vicinity! The Redwoods are a sight to behold! If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this a great area to visit! ##### Mark S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick C.

The location provided a peaceful base to travel to the Redwoods or easily walk to the black sandy beaches to watch the pelicans and seals play. The house is gorgeous and we all had room for ourselves and room to all be comfortable in the great room. We'd happily be back. ##### Nick C.

Wonderful spot to enjoy the whole family! Plenty of space to spread out and a very short walk to the ocean and black sands. ##### Matthew W.

All three couples had their own floor. There were tons of options for entertainment - hot tub, TVs, great kitchen, game room. All bathrooms came with modern temp controlled shower heads. In vicinity of good hiking and a mountain bike park. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful, serene getaway tangential to the woods. ##### Veronica V. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kurt L.

The location is quiet and close to Black Sands Beach. Hosts Jon and Katie were wonderful and very responsive. If you plan to visit Shelter Cove with your family and/or friends, this property is a wonderful home base for your explorations of the Lost Coast. Plus, it's pet friendly if you plan to bring your furry buddy. We recommend it! ##### Kurt L. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber F.

Everything about the property and about Shelter Cove was perfect for our family. The house was very comfortable and had everything that we needed, and provided a great place to relax between excursions exploring the local beaches, redwoods, and rivers. The surrounding area exceeded all expectations. We hope to come back after the pandemic when we can take advantage of the local bars and restaurants. ##### Matt H.

There is ample space for a large group to spend time in this comfortable and relaxing home. Everything was in order - large kitchen, bedding, towels, multiple recliner chairs, equipment for activities. Our teens enjoyed the ping-pong table, projector screen for movies, and the hot tub. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. Lots of beautiful trees and oceanscapes. Hiking and tide-pooling very nearby. The Flakolls are very responsive throughout the booking and stay. Offered many recommendations and guidance on what to do, where to eat, how to get around. The whole experience was easy to navigate and the escape to the beauty of Humboldt was unmatched. ##### Wilbert W.
