Horrible check in process and horrible communication - Do not recommend this place
We get there to find out the place is locked, and we can't get into the lockbox. We called the manager, but she didn't have the key or lockbox code. The manager calls the owner, who doesn't have it either. The owner comes to try to see if she can get in but cant and has to go back home, get a spare, go to Home Depot, and bring us a key.
Essentially, after working all day in the forest and my employees wanting to get into their rooms and shower, we were delayed about an hour and a half from entering the home past our check-in time.
After that, the master bedroom shower was not working (not described in the listing), and the floors were dirty.
We were ignored when we asked them to comp us one night or give a discount.
Approach with caution!
We spent most of our time exploring the Redwoods so this home was a perfect location. The game area in the garage was nice for our teens. Unfortunately, the shower wasn’t working in the main bathroom but we managed.
Really clean, well stocked, comfortable! Love how close it is to tue ocean & redwoods! Kind owner & cleaning Lady. Definitely on my list to stay again!
My husband and 3 teenage children and i stayed at this property when we visited the Redwood National and State Forests. It was everything we could ask for. Close proximity to Jedediah Smith State Park so we got a great experience with that. Within walking distance of the ocean a stunning sunsets. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was adequate for the simple meals we made, the washer and dryer were super useful and the kids loved the gameroom. We would all recommend this property.

Horrible
This was our worst VRBO stay.
There was an issue with wet carpet in the master bedroom. The wet floor was along the wall shared with the master bathroom, so we were concerned. I hope I'll be able to attach the pics to the review. Both closets had wet floor and mildew smell. The house says not to wear shoes but has wet carpet- gross.
We contacted the property manger. She said "I'll let the owners know" and then quit returning calls/texts (from us or VRBO) until check-out a week later. I didn't feel comfortable using that bathroom because i didn't want to make a problem worse. We picked this house specifically to have 2 bathrooms for a family of 4, so having this issue was annoying.
We contacted VRBO after not being able to reach the property manager, but the property manager didn't respond to VRBO either.
There were other issues with cleaning. I lost a headphone, so we had to dig in the couch and OMG- we pulled some interesting stuff out. We had to wash most dishes we pulled out of cupboards. It was ridiculous.
I wasted the first few days of our trip trying to find somewhere else to stay, but it's a popular destination, so we just stayed at this home.
The location is great, but if you need something during your stay- you're screwed.
This had 3 nice bedrooms, the master with a seperate bathroom w/shower. A roomy kitchen, Garage with washer/dryer and ping-pong and oter games. Nice sitting area on fron patio. Ocean in walking distance.

Floors
Good for family but no shampoo, not enough toilet paper or trash bags ect.. also, we all took our shoes off and our feet were black and I didn't go out to game room so floor and carpet in house made all our feet thick black
Probably one of the most accommodating properties I’ve stayed at. Most places have us strip the beds, take our trash with us, run the dish washer and run a load of laundry before our departure. However this house they simply asked us to run the dish washer, shut all the lights off and to lock the place up. That simple. The home was cozy and the perfect get away. Very clean!
Excellent place. Garage with ping pong table and foos ball was great for kids.We stayed two days and it was great but if you are staying longer it is a very nice and roomy place to stay at. Very clean.
We went to this area to see the Redwoods. This house met all our needs perfectly. The location was great and the right size for 2 couples. Very clean and in a quiet neighborhood.
We were comfortable. Made a pasta dinner for five adults. all of was available for cooking very good.
Teflon pans. Must be replaced. Dangerous
Other than extremely scratched pans. Only negative
Affordable an comfortable
Would recommend. JG
This house is laid out very nicely for a family stay. Many conveniences and comfort provided. The beds are comfortable in the two main rooms but the trundle mattresses are worn down and should be replaced soon, same with the pull out hide a bed couch in back bedroom. The idea of the playroom in the garage is awesome, except there was a terrible smell in garage, maybe the flooring that was installed, we didn’t want to spend any time out there, bummer. Overall, a comfortable home and easy with the 1 year old baby crawling around!
This home has nice shared space and, the 3 bedrooms worked great for our family. Good location, with easy access to beach, tide pools, and area attractions. Kitchen is well-furnished, and home is very clean.
We stayed for our family vacation trip, the location is great, close to the beach.
The bedrooms have large closets, the garage has a foosball table and a ping pong table, which were a great way to spend our evenings.
However, it would be nice if the bedroom’s bathroom had a lock, also please note that seems like the garage plastic floor accumulates a lot of dirt under it and we found some ants there.
Other than that it was an awesome house and we would definitely stay here again if needed.
Nicely located near a park, Brother Jonathan cemetery, and beach access. Less than an mile (0.7miles is sandy, beach access and we played there several times). The location had a nice recreational area in garage and we had all we needed for meals with amt of plates and bowls and mugs/cups. Valentina was gracious and responded to my calls/messages. We hope to be back next year. 💕🌻☺️
