Alessandra was a great, highly responsive host. The house is perfectly situated in one of the most remote, ruggedly beautiful places on the Northern CA coast. Shelter Cove Road, the only road in and out of Shelter Cove, is a challenging drive (blind curves and switchbacks) so consider getting your groceries before descending into Shelter Cove. There is a small general store, a few good restaurants and a couple of good cafes within walking distance of the house. The house is well appointed and thoughtfully designed. The bed (sleep number) is comfortable and there is another room with a bed and a very clever loft set-up. The views are absolutely incredible from almost every room. I saw a whale breach while standing on the driveway. Lots of wildlife and great sunsets are all viewable from the back deck, and you’re just a few feet from dramatic cliffsides and the roaring ocean.
Sunset from the cliffs - just a stone’s throw from the house.

Great house super close to the ocean

Our first trip to Shelter Cove and this was a great place to stay. Super close to the ocean with several parks very close walking distance along the coast. Lots of wildlife around to watch with deer and fox hanging around the house. We recommend this place.

This is our second time coming to Shelter Cove and renting the same house. It's always clean, you can find everything you need to cook, and this house's location is just a 1m walk from the ocean.

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.

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.
