The perfect place to explore and experience northern California's lost coast..

Welcome travelers,
We Believe you'll find this home to be the perfect place to explore and experience northern California's lost coast. Built in 1996, we raised and homeschooled our kids here, enjoying the spectacular scenery out every window.
As empty nesters we moved one ridge inland back to our family ranch where we raise Waygu cross beef cattle and pinot noir wine grapes. We're now excited to offer our home to vacationers.

Simply wonderful

The online photos of the property do not do it justice - it is right on the ocean - from almost all the windows, that is what you see and hear- ocean. It's beautiful. Communication/arrival/departure was super easy and there was no need to contact the hosts during our 5 night stay there. The house is well appointed with (more than what) we needed for our stay in Shelter Cove. This is a special home in a special place. We are grateful for having stayed there.
