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.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Awesome property, photos do not do it justice! Ocean access is right out the sliding door. Everything in the house was clean and tidy, also clear communication between property renters.

Pristine house with breathtaking views of the ocean. The house is located on the Pacific Ocean coastline. Everything was perfect, we wished we could have stayed longer.

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.
