We booked this home as a last minute getaway to take our daughters to the redwood. It was the perfect location in July to hike inland in the redwoods during the day and cool off in the summer coastal fog by the house at night. This spot is also a bit south of Eureka which made it feel a bit safer. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that was very peaceful.. The house does need a little love on the outside, it's so close to the water that I'm sure the water does some damage. Please also know the 5 stars is based on cleanliness and accuracy of listing considering price, this is not a high end home but I didn't expect it to be. It is a homey, comfy getaway that is much more comfortable than hotels in the area.
