About this house rental

Nestled among tall majestic trees sits this tri-level home in beautiful Shelter Cove ready for Guests to enjoy! This home boasts a unique design including a spiral staircase leading to each of the 3 floors, with gorgeous ocean views, and an easy 9 minute walk to Black Sands Beach. Come and experience "Whale Cove Retreat", a 3 bed, 2.5 bath vacation haven at The Lost Coast you won't forget!

DETAILS:
"Whale Cove Retreat" welcomes you as you step into this beautiful 3 story home!
On the First floor, you will find the Family room/ game room adorned with nautical themed decor. Pull up the 2 video game chairs and challenge your guests to video games with the SEGA Genesis game console. And if you need more challenge, step outside to the attached garage where you will find the miniature ping pong table. On this floor you will find the "kids room" with a twin over full size bunk bed, and a full bathroom with tub shower. In addition, there is a leather queen sofa sleeper in this family room.
Venture up to the Second floor and be met with spectacular ocean views ! This floor boasts a comfortable living room space, a half bath, a fully stocked kitchen , with dining that seats your entire group. Wake up in the morning with a nice hot cup of coffee brewed from the Keurig. Step out to the front deck and revel in the beauty as you are surrounded by beautiful nature with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean! In the afternoon, take the family outside onto the deck and BBQ a delicious meal on the easy to use propane grill. Gather together and you may catch glimpses of whale pods swimming in the ocean. After a full meal, maybe take an afternoon nap in the cozy patio lounger and let the sounds of the crashing waves lull you to sleep. In the evening, come inside and snuggle with a book next to the gas fireplace on those chilly nights. Or go outside, turn off all the lights and gaze up at the sky to witness the galaxy of twinkling stars.
Proceed up to the Third floor of the home where you will find the master bedroom with the cozy queen-size bed. The large window allows you to wake up and take in the gorgeous views of the Ocean! There is also a small private den off to the side which houses a twin size bed in the shape of a boat design. This will be a huge hit for the kids or the kid at heart!
This home is situated in a PERFECT location for exploring Shelter Cove, all within walking distance, or quick car ride. From the house, you can grab a few beach chairs and take an easy 9 minute walk to Black Sands Beach. Or if preferred, take a 20 minute leisurely stroll into town where you can get your caffeine buzz at The Fish Tank Expresso Gallery or Surf Point Coffee house Cafe, experience the popular Venezuelan restaurant, meander to the many nature trails, go tidepooling at Mal Coombs Park, play pickleball/basketball at the Shelter Cove community court, or watch golfers hit a hole-in-one at the beautiful ocean front Shelter Cove Golf course.

This was a phenomenal place to stay. We had three kids, ages 16, 14, and 11, and had the absolute time of our lives. Everything felt like a fairytale. The place was very well stocked, the views incredible, and the hosts were responsive and helpful before, during, and after the stay.5/5 highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Super clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The area is super remote and super quiet. It’s a great get away. There is very little cell service along most of the northern coastline, but they had great WiFi at the house. Loved how everything was labeled in the home, soap, shampoo and conditioner was stocked. Linens were clean. They had fun games, a gaming console and old VHSs and DVDs. We saw a ton of wildlife around the outside of the house including a black bear one night! Just a great little spot to retreat to. Just be aware that it is a 45 minute drive in from the main road. There is not much around so pack in what you need. Black Sands Beach is not a beach to be in the water in because of the riptides. So just be aware of that too. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get just away.

This was a really cool place! We picked it for the location outside of a tourist area, the 3 floors to give us all some space mid-way through a long road trip, the indoor and outdoor ways for our tween-agers to play and run, and the awesome deck for my husband and I to enjoy some local beverages. It did not disappoint!
