Our input
We booked this property for my husband and I and our 3 adult children to stay over thanksgiving while we visited our daughter who lives nearby . The listing was not reflective of the condition of the home . The bonus of the home was the incredible view ! The negatives were that the master bedroom was in the basement as well as the second bedroom which was a cold and damp environment . It was difficult to regulate a comfortable temperature within the house with only electric heaters in the bedrooms and a pellet stove upstairs . The pictures showed a well maintained property which was not the case when we arrived . Barking dog from the neighbors as well as from the adjoining apartment . We loved the view and the proximity to our daughter but wouldn’t choose to stay here again. It was not worth the price we paid !.

Perfect if that exists...
Absolutely loved this place! The view was amazing. The beds were sooo comfy! Everything we needed was available. The only thing I could say towards the bad would be the neighbor dog doesnt like it when there is company. He is not afraid to use his voice. We did not mind it but others may.thissaysaytowards the negative

What a beautiful home with a zillion dollar view. Everything was so clean and well-appointed. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of linens and the kitchen is well-stocked for cooking needs. The back yeard was immaculate and we enjoyed spending most of our time there. We appreciated the careful and timely communication with the property owner. We will absolutely stay here again.

Great house with Amazing View
This was a great house for our family of 5. We enjoyed staying here to see the Redwoods. The house was smaller than expected but the view of the ocean made up for its size. Although the house and neighborhood were older, the house was very clean and well-kept.

Amazing views and plenty of adventure!
I made the booking for my parents so I am summarizing what they said. They absolutely loved the place, especially the views and the awesome layout of the house. Plenty of windows with ocean views, the hot tub is the cherry on top. They loved the endless smooth beach area that they were able to walk on and the ease of the whole process. They even asked me to extend their stay by an extra night because of how much they enjoyed their stay. On my end (their son), I was tasked with communicating with the owner of the place and she was incredibly helpful and super responsive. She made this whole process smooth and easy. She was a great communicator and a very nice person to deal with. I would highly recommend this place for the ease of communication and my parents recommend it for the incredible views and experience.

Sweet view from the deck and living room.
The view of the beach and ocean are wonderful. though Hwy 101 is close by, the traffic is not loud. lots of amenities both at this property and in towns nearby. the hot tub was spotless as were the bathrooms and the entire home is very nicely cared for. bring a bag of quality wood pellet fuel as the pellet stove works perfectly. check the burn pot prior to lighting, as always. beds were very clean and comfortable. nothing cheap linen or pillow-wise. the couch is also comfortable to sleep on. lots of hot water and pressure is great. the washer/ dryer are newer and work great! Bunnies, birds and critters all over. nice paved roads which to walk. minutes from the very large quiet beach too! I'm pretty picky, I travel and rent often, I have to say, this pad is pretty slick and clean. I traveled with my daughter however I can see this to be a romantic spot for a long weekend or week. The kitchen is perfect size, lots of cooking hardware and devices. we bring our own electric skillets though there are plenty of pots pans and electric gadgets available to create great meals. stove sink dishwasher are clean and work perfectly. all the drains in this house also work as they should. the trinkets you will find are adorable. custom light switch covers, real plants throughout. If I were going to chose a place to retire this house is setup just right. floors? they too are spotless. towels are provided and are in good shape. even the TP is quality. Deck is sturdy and newer. there is a ton of charm throughout this property. the manager responds quickly. she provided great coffee grounds, creamer and a nice box of fresh tarts that were wonderful. the coffee maker has reusable filter BTW. The manager is easy going and very friendly. I will rent this property in the future. Highly recommended!! we are CA residents.

Beautiful View
It was a beautiful view at all times. The contact/hostess was very nice. There were some issues w ants in the kitchen, a harsh mildew smell downstairs, pet friendly, not small child friendly. It would be better suited for teens and/or adults. The pictures presented w the online listing were disappointly deceptive. It was a drive not a walk to the beach. I thought I was going to be directly on the beach which, is why I chose the property.

What's Not To Love?
Let's start with our very accommodating and wonderful host, Deborah. She was helpful, informative and cheerful. Her own little place is right next door, but she kept to herself unless you needed her. Thank you Deborah! The view! OMG, THE VIEW! Lovely. We could have sat all day and stared at the ocean. The 101 goes past the bottom of the bluff that the house sits on, but the traffic that goes past is hardly an issue. At night there is little or no traffic and we kept the windows open to hear the ocean. Everything was delightful and we truly enjoyed our stay.

Not worth the high cost
This funky old beach house has a great view, but it is way overpriced and the listing is deceptive. Be warned: it is not “steps to the beach”. You need at least 5-10 minutes to drive to the other side of the highway and down to one of the parking lots. Although the beds can sleep 6 people, the dining table has room to seat only two. Lucky there was just two of us and even that was a tight fit. But, here’s the thing which really irked us, the property manager is a company called Evolve, which makes it even more confusing to deal with and the list of charges that drive up the price of the rental will send your head reeling. We are new to VRBO, so we were not careful about this. The final price we paid was at least one third higher than the listing due to the service charges that are not refundable. And they demand that you pay an exorbitant “damage protection” insurance policy, not a security deposit. That’s not refundable even when no damage has been done. We rented the house for two weeks for a ton of money and while we enjoyed our stay, we came away feeling like we could have gone to Hawaii and stayed in a hotel for that amount of money. Also, Evolve warns you somewhere deep into the paperwork that there are NO REFUNDS at all! For any reason. So, buyer beware. We will learn from this and never rent from Evolve again. On the plus side, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms and kitchen were somewhat clean and functional, though nothing special. The interior of the bathroom/kitchen cabinets needed cleaning out. There are a few windows with no screens or holes in the screens which made it a little annoying when the flies came in. We never saw anyone come to service the hot tub, (which could use a new cover) so we stopped using it after awhile. Both the gas and the Weber BBQs were very grimy so we did not use them, and the decks/railings really need to be sanded and painted. The master bed has side tables, but no lamps and no outlets near the bed, so we bought an extension cord, moved a lamp from another bedroom and made a place to plug in our phones. The owner is pleasant and does her best to stay quiet as she lives in the converted garage with her dog who does bark a little but was not a problem. Overall, it was a quaint, kind of run down and neglected beach house, but not worth the cost.

Agree that it’s extremely overpriced- but beautiful view
Agree with other renters that this house is extremely overpriced for what you get. Nothing is updated, there is a mildew smell and the bathrooms/ bedrooms leave a lot to be desired. BUT the view is amazing. The property’s location/ proximity to beaches, Arcata, Trinidad is great. I was surprised that the property contact person lived RIGHT NEXT DOOR in the garage. The persons dogs did bark a lot. But other then that we had no interactions with them. There’s also an old tv with no internet access to use Netflix etc. which is handy when you’re traveling with kids. Love the view of this house, but wouldn’t stay here again unless it was “updated” (general maintenance done).

NOT As Advertised
The home is NOT ocean front like advertised nor is it steps away...it is across the Hwy in the flight path of the airport and is a short drive down a steep hill, under the Hwy overpass to get to the beach. The photos show furniture in the living room and a piano that are not there anymore. The window screens in the living room are either missing or have holes in them so trying to air out the home to minimize the mildew smell only lets flies in. Very disappointed at the condition for the cost of the stay! We arrived shortly after check in time and had to wait for the cleaning crew to move their vehicles from the very steep and tight parking space. When we entered the home we were pleased with the wonderful wood floors and the beautiful view. We unpacked our groceries and I spilled a bottle of water on the floor and mopped it up with paper towels only to discover how dirty the floors were. I looked for a mop to give it a quick go over before we walked barefoot on it and couldn't find one anywhere. The garbage/recycling center in the kitchen smelled awful and there was food and napkins that had spilled over and were not cleaned up. When we walked out on the back deck there were several of the boards were rotten and a few that are a tripping hazard. The deck railing is super loose so don't lean on it. The converted garage is about 3 ft. from the house and the person who resides there has a very loud barking dog so that was fun also. The previous renters didn't do a good job of cleaning their pet messes so we made sure to take care of that before we put our 2 dogs out ( the pet baggies that are supposed to be in the drawer next to the stove were non existent so we used our own). Our first night was very sleepless, the beds were so uncomfortable that we ended up sleeping on the couches and the mildew smell in the basement where 2 of the bedrooms are is awful! The dishes, pots and pans had food stuck to them. I contacted the host to let them know of the issues and instead of trying to be helpful she was offended and told us we could leave and that the beds were 2 years old and she hadn't had any complaints, that her cleaning person did a great job and she did a walk through before the new renters came in and that she was basically insulted.... We checked the tags on the mattresses ( my significant other is in the mattress business) and they are 10 years old with at least a 4" dip in the middle so you roll to the center! RENTERS BE AWARE!

Clam Beach House
The quaint bungalow is a gem. Most beautiful sunsets! Close to clam beach, beach town of Trinadad, Red Woods, and much more. The bungalow offered a place to enjoy our family after our outings and was pet friendly. Quail and rabbits were fun to watch in the early mornings. The only wish list items were kitchen/ disinfectant to wash counters and table and pot holders. Minor things that would have perfected our stay.
