Gorgeous views and comfortable outdoor seating to enjoy those views and weather. Kept kids busy with walks around the area, exploring the tide pools and visiting the nearby Black Sand beach. This home had everything we needed for my family. My kids had fun playing on the ping pong table and outside in the yard. This home was fantastic and highly recommend staying here!! ##### Candra P.

Trees around and a view to the ocean. Located very close to Black Sand Beach and short drive to any shops/restaurants. The house has everything you need for the kitchen and a beautiful deck with plenty of outdoor furniture. Inside there is a bathroom on every floor and the 3 floor set up gives a lot of privacy between visitors. Everything was very clean and ready for use, even the outside furniture, which was nice. Only item to mention is that the neighbors are quite close when you're out on the deck. Definitely would like to stay there again. ##### George L.

First, Shelter Cove and surrounding towns were beautiful. Your surrounded by the coast, dense forest and redwoods. The home had everything we need and the hosts were proactive in making sure we were informed about logistics. We regularly saw deer grazing in the front yard which was a plus! If you’re headed to Shelter Cove, I highly recommend a stay here. ##### Christina L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pat H.

This house in Shelter Cove had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The hosts gave us ample descriptions in advance so that we’d know what to bring. They offered friendly assistance during our stay whenever we had questions. The house was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed exploring “The Lost Coast” and then driving further northeast into the Redwoods. The curvy roads to arrive to Shelter Cove from the South, however, are not for the faint of stomach.We dined at the local restaurants- all of which were delightful. We also cooked in the house and had everything we needed to make a family meal. Thanks to the owners for allowing us to feel at home and have a mini-break away from reality! ##### jordan p.

We just loved this place! Check in was super easy and the house was very clean and comfortable. We felt right at home immediately. The deck was good sized so a great place to unwind and enjoy the view of the ocean. Nearby nature trails as well as the Black People beach made outdoors time enjoyable. And I appreciated Alex and Katherine texting to touch base and make sure everything was good for our stay. The only downside is that we eventually had to go home. Great place to stay and hope to come again! ##### Jaki S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nichole H.

We were able to download immediately. We rode bikes down the hill to the beach, explored tide pools and Abalone Point, and even golfed 9 holes in Shelter Cove. The place was labeled and fully stocked. We even used the BBQ to grill turkey legs. The hosts were amazing. I would recommend it highly. ##### Nichole H.

The three floors afford a lot of privacy and it is well equipped with kitchen tools, board games, televisions, cozy reading nooks and outdoor spaces. Shelter Cove has amazing black sand beaches, friendly business owners and just the perfect degree of remoteness to make you feel you are "getting away" without being totally isolated. The weather was perfect and we just could not have asked for a better, more relaxing experience. Perhaps most reassuring of all was the owners' level of communication and offers of support. Though none was needed, it was a very nice touch! ##### Fannin C. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin K.

The labeled cabinets/drawers made it easy to know where things were. Quiet neighborhood and if you enjoy walking, it's an easy walk (with some hills) to "town". Outside deck area is spacious. Excellent and timely communication with owners. One of the best houses I've rented! ##### Betsy G. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eve L. Aug 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Whale Cove the perfect retreat What a find - everything about our stay was exceptional. We felt right at home immediately. The owner's instructions were crystal clear and easy to follow, everything clean, functional and fuss-free. The ocean view really is just a peek, but the beautiful Black Sand Beach, and the lighthouse point with the seals conversing on the rocks and birds fishing from the sky were super close for an outing to connect with them. If your goal is to return from all that fresh air, to rest and be sung to sleep by the ocean, this is your spot. My only complaint is, our stay was too short. Thank you Kat and Alex! (Your neighbors are lovely too) ##### Eve L.
