Shelter Cove House, hosted by Alessandra
Alessandra was great, we couldn't figure out how the TV worked so she came over,called the owner, and had us up and running in no time. If we had a question, we would text her, and she would get right back to you with an answer, I really couldn't want a better host. The property was very nice also. Almost to nice for a vacation home.

Wonderful House in a Great Location
This house is about 100 feet away from the ocean…one can see the water and hear the waves quite nicely. Since Shelter Cove has not been fully built up, there is plenty of empty space around this house and it feels wonderful. The place is quite clean and the furnishings are well appointed. It has 1) a great washer and dryer, 2) real hot water (versus those places that only offer very warm water!), 3) sleep number beds, 4) gas cooking (versus those terrible electric ranges), satellite TV with hundreds of stations, a good heater that responds well to the thermostat. There are several places to eat around here…a couple of bars and grills, a pizza place, and a Venezuelan restaurant (quite popular but only open a few days a week). There is a small grocery store with limited items. (Best bet is to bring supplies in). The only caveat I have to mention is to warn light sleepers…the master bedroom is a loft…which means one hears EVERY sound in the house. I could hear the coffee percolating, refrigerator doors opening and, of course, the TV downstairs. Our family had to instigate rules if someone was trying to sleep…”please talk in muffled tones, keep the TV sound down real low, and walk quietly throughout the house”. That plan worked fine…and of course, if you are a heavy sleeper, there is no problem.

Great Shelter Cover Retreat
This is a very comfortable home, located just off Lower Pacific Drive, which follows the rocky coastline. Although there are homes on the ocean side of this road, there are also frequent public access areas, making this a great place for morning and afternoon walks with my pup. I enjoyed the nearby coffee shop, with stunning views from the patio, but more than anything, I enjoyed the beauty and relaxed atmosphere of Shelter Cove. Deer visited this home daily and at night, in the distance, I loved hearing the night bark of the sea lions. I will be back!

Great beach location
Lovely house (apart from stairs—the raised edges made it uncomfortable to come down them sans shoes). Very cozy, beautiful stained glass insets throughout. Location was amazing. quiet and enjoyable. Made for a very relaxing vacation.

Gem - power down stay
This home is a keeper of a getaway. We have visited this home/area for at least 4 to 5 years, & at least 2x a year now. This was a great find. Appreciate nature and all her surroundings. People are so friendly, fisherman share their catch, Gyppo ale mill is enjoyable. Safe and clean area. Humboldt County has MUCH to offer. ~C~

Very Comfortable and Clean Home.
The home was located right near the ocean as it claimed. Very nicely furnished and lovely artwork adorned the walls. I loved the stain glass windows as well. The house was very clean and supplied with fresh linens on beds and in bathrooms. One of the toilets was not working when we arrived. I texted the owner and she sent someone over to fix it with in 30 minutes. Very much appreciated the quick response! We all enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, warm, and lovely home.

Lost coast fishing trip
The property is located within walking distance of a couple of established restuarants, the lighthouse located on Point Delgado, and also tide pools that are exposed at low tides for viewing of wildlife. We were visited by local deer herds multiple times during daylight hours. Our stay was primarily our annual fishing trip for coastal rock fishing. Our boat broke down on day 2 of 6, so we spent the time visiting local areas we never spent much time with before, and took drives to some remote areas such as Whitehorne and the Mattole River. The house was completely stocked as mentioned in the adds, Allessandra was accurate in her photos. The one thing that we brought along that came in handy was a folding table for the lower deck patio which allowed us to eat outside. The internet is ok, sometimes a little slow, but the location is great for cellular coverage on most providers.

Hidden gem in Shelter Cove!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the well thought out and appointed property. The natural wood accents and stain-glass artwork adorning the home was beautiful. Expansive views of the pacific ocean and the mountains abound from *every* room, nook, and corner! Extremely quiet neighborhood. We chilled out in this cozy 2BR/2BA two-level home just a few steps away from the rugged lost-coast in Shelter Cove. We brought in our groceries since this was a one-hour drive (one-way in/out) from Hwy 101, but the host has ample supplies of condiments stocked up if you planned to cook during your stay. We didn't get a chance to meet the owners but Alessandra, the host/manager was wonderful in answering all of our questions and was a pleasure to work with. We will most certainly be back! Shelter Cove is yet to be fully discovered. :-) One thing we missed is the ability to charge our EV overnight (since the drive to the nearest supercharger is close to 2 hours away). I believe the homeowner is planning to install one next year, so that's really encouraging.
