Waterfall cove house was wonderful. The pictures don’t do it justice in that it doesn’t show the landscaping (someone is obviously a plant lover) and the wonderful, sometimes quirky, decorating details. The space was cozy and soooooo quiet. From sitting on the back deck by the fire watching the sunset to having morning hot beverages on the upper deck or just watching a movie on the big soft sofa waterfall cove fit the bill after a day exploring the tidepools and redwoods. ##### Deb H.

Initially we booked for 10 days, but after spending some time here, we extended it two more days. The house is fantastic, much larger inside than what appears on the site photo. I'm a fisherman, and brought my boat to use out on the ocean. After the first day backing it in and making sure of the track, it fit nicely along side the house on the south side. There is a turn out for smaller boats just off the driveway on the west. The house is stocked exceptionally well, meaning towels, ample bedding, even spices, cooking wares, coffee pot, toaster, microwave, and one of the most fantastic stoves that you can cook on. The deck is awesome at night for views of the sunset to the west, exceptional space for a dog if you have one. Celeste and Eric are the best, always responsive, ensuring all is good, and quick for answers and tips on the local places to go. The landscaping is amazing, lilies and other flowers are in bloom right now, which adds to the view. The entire property is fenced off with a mesh type of fencing, keeping out the big critters. We had a black bear view us outside the fence, but ran off when we spotted it one night with some friends. If you are a fisherman, this place is the bomb. My girlfriend caught so many fish, she has a permanent smile on her face. The local cleaning station down at the launch ramp is well kept, and cleaned everyday, one of the best I've seen for a public maintained station. Salmon bite was slow, but rockfish and ling cod were amazing. There is a tractor launch that launches your boat for a fee of $40.00 a day. Small boats can be launched on the ramp, but make sure you have waders, it gets shallow at low tide. Local bait shops have well stocked baits and ancillary tackle. Watch the weather, wind and swell forecast, some days were really bad and small craft warnings were out. We will be back next year. I know why they call this the Lost Coast. ##### Richard S.

Beautiful location, yard, and home. We only used 2 of the bedrooms, our young boys wanted to share. The kitchen is awesome. The oven and grill are great. The fridge is pretty and fit our stuff. The shower pressure is great. The beds were comfortable and the washing machine is great. As with other reviews, there is a smell in the upstairs bedroom, but we went nose blind pretty fast and very tolerable. We used the propane fire pit and had a blast. The view is great, the host gave great information. There is lots of wildlife. This is not the house, but surroundings review. There are 3 beaches we found, the 2 to the north are black rock beaches which are great. If you go south to the marina by the light house and go down, there is the black sand beach. If you can, stop outside of redwoods at a bigger town and get your groceries and have a cooler. There is a general store that is mostly stocked, but as with a small, remote town, prices are higher. There is also a place in town that serves food, but also has some frozen meat to buy. We were very happy with this home and the host. ##### Randy D.

Jul 29, 2020 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Some things I would’ve liked to know I’ve been visiting this area with my stepdad for about 10 years. I’m familiar with the culture and limitations with regard to its remote location. We stayed 5 nights here and enjoyed it with some exceptions. PROS: -Backyard for pets and primarily secure. -Enjoyed the pines & the slight ocean view when it was clear (usually after 2p...very common for this area). -Nice tucked driveway which offered a little more privacy. -Large dining area & just about everything needed to cook with in kitchen. -Laundry (esp after a day of fishing). -Nice outdoor area (could use an umbrella though). Loved the wooden bench. CONS - Check-in could’ve be improved by providing the code for lockbox prior...I had to call to retrieve it with very bad cell service. -Had to clean up a LOT of dog waste upon arrival. -The house in general was unkept. It had a dank smell which can be common so close to the ocean however, the septic off gas (methane) that runs into the pantry was foul. I brought Clorox wipes for all of the handles, remotes, light switches etc. and I was appalled with the amount of filth wiped off of these surfaces, particularly in light of COVID. The kitchen floor has not been properly mopped for who knows how long. It had brown/black food/dirts marks all over the off-white tiles. -The purple carpet had so many stains on it, I wondered how long it had been since it was steamed. (An achievable housekeeping chore with $150 carpet steamer). -Of all the windows in the house, only 3 had screens on them. This is unacceptable. -The slider lock was broke and a piece of wood was used to secure it. -The outdoor trash can needs to be a bear box type of enclosure. All we could manage to find was a square lid for a round can & stretched out bungee to secure it-a failure because we were visited by a bear(s). I did mention this to the owner and he assured me they would get one that week. Overall, we had a nice trip. Chartered twice, enjoyed black sands, rode bikes, walked our dogs everywhere, and enjoyed the time with each other, which was the main goal of the trip. When I read reviews I look for items that align with my preferences and hopefully this review with help others with their decision. Additionally, I hope the owners find it useful. ##### Tiffinee V.

We stayed at Celeste's place for 3 whole weeks and had the best time! Celeste was really helpful leading up to the stay, and even jumped on the phone to give us the check in directions and recommendations in the town. We also were always able to reach her by text throughout our time there with any questions. The house is a perfect place to getaway and had everything we needed to be there for a longer period of time. We loved spending time outside on both decks surrounded by trees, and they have done a really great job with the layout & landscaping of the place. The fenced in yard also allowed us to just let our dog roam free outside which was great! Overall, we had a really wonderful extended stay and would highly recommend Celeste's house! Thank you, Celeste! ##### Melissa C. Stayed 20 nights in May 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott M.

Our dog loved being able to roam on the fenced property and we loved not having to put him on a leash for the time he was outside. We loved the views of the ocean from the deck in the mornings and afternoons. Lovely area - we are definitely planning to return. ##### Scott M.

The thing that makes this place great is the deck and the view. You feel like you're looking at the rain forest. It was a great place to host our relatives who live at Shelter Cove. ##### Chris H.

This is a true treasure in the rough. The house is much larger than anticipated. Our stay was so relaxing and tranquil. The location is spectacular in the midst of beautiful trees and nature overlooking the ocean in the distance. We observed beautiful sunsets from the patio and had breakfast on the deck. Wildlife was abundant. Our dog enjoyed the security of the fenced yard that even had a dog house and dog bed included inside of it. There was plenty of amenities and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking full meals if wanted. The home was an excellent condition for its age barring few minor conditions that can be expected through years of wear and tear. Touches such as remnants of the houses original design and incorporating pieces of nature (redwood shelves, seashells, etc.) made the home more delightful. Heaters and extra blankets were plentiful for the cooler evenings. Firewood was abundant if a fire was desired in a firepit or a wood burning stove. We have stayed in other vacation homes in this area but would be honored to stay in this home again. Though we did not need to have communication with host while there, they did provide all we needed prior to our arrival to facilitate check in. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you again. ##### John & Nathalie M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16130.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-I.h661796.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntington-Beach-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Huntington-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h890502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h23876.Hotel-Information) > > [Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miramonte-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16768.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embarc-Palm-Desert.h328421.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Villas for COACHELLA 2020 (1st weekend)](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Cochella-Stay-At-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Resort-Villas.h34078793.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Anaheim, CA](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Anaheim.h14910044.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Renaissance-Esmeralda-Resort-Spa.h12274.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Paradise-Point-Resort-Spa.h3731.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Half-Moon-Bay-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h602927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Orange County](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Orange-County.h15965.Hotel-Information) > > [San Diego Mission Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-San-Diego-Mission-Bay-Resort.h25598.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel and Swim Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-And-Swim-Club.h22864.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Palm-Desert.h201084.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Mission-Bay-Spa-And-Marina.h858.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Oasis-Resort.h1180912.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Garden-Grove.h519819.Hotel-Information) > > [Solage, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Calistoga-Hotels-Solage.h1640078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-II.h57218.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim South](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Anaheim-South.h662857.Hotel-Information)
