About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Entire townhouse hosted by Andy

Charming in every way, this ocean view property invites you to spend your mornings on the patio, your days exploring the plethora of natural amenities that our area offers, and your evenings on our western-facing deck watching the sunset with a wine glass in hand. Extra clean, with an abundance of natural light, and a fully-equipped kitchen with everything that you would need for a short or a long- term stay.



The space

I bought this place in 2019 Because of the Incredible river and ocean view. It was a complete wreck when I bought the place since it was originally built in 1954. Since then I have spent three years completely remodeling the interior as well as the exterior. With my cabinet making skills I was able to not only build all of the cabinetry but the bedroom furniture as well. With the gorgeous tropical landscape I wanted to create a place that was much more than just a place to lay your head but hopefully a very Special experience for you to enjoy!



Guest access

This home is fully yours for your enjoyment. There is a front courtyard that has very nice swivel club chairs that surrounds a propane fire pit. This area is also shared by the adjacent unit. The hot tub available to you is PRIVATE, and for your exclusive use.



Other things to note

In the front of the residence there is a fenced courtyard. Within the courtyard are six very nice club swivel chairs that surround a propane fire pit. This is a community area to be shared by the adjacent unit.



Access to the Mad River is available via a short walk either north or south of the property. Access to the Pacific Ocean (Mad River County Park) is available via a 2.5mi (5mi round trip) via bike or walking, or 8 minutes by car to Clam Beach County Park.

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful—everything from the beautiful ocean view to the beach and how clean, and comfortable the house was made it feel like a dream. The hot tub was such a perfect touch, and Andy truly went above and beyond, making sure we had everything we could possibly need. He even did something special for my boyfriend’s birthday, which made the trip even more meaningful. This place is simply amazing—no filter needed, it’s perfect just the way it is.

Everything about our stay was amazing. Host was very communicative and the property was just as described. The outside space was perfect to enjoy the amazing ocean views. House was centrally located between Erueka and Redwood Park and there were great walking/biking trails within walking distance of the property. Highly recommend.

Fantastic. Everything you could want out of a vacation home. Gorgeous views of the ocean, lush gardens and plants all around the property, so peaceful. We came to spend a few days hiking the Redwoods and found ourselves wanting to head back to the property early each afternoon just to enjoy the deck, the sun, and the ocean breeze. Well stocked with any kitchen appliance, tool, or gadget you could need. Extra towels, blankets, and linens. Complimentary snacks, coffee, tea, condiments. Fast internet. TVs in every room. Even a cupboard of games, cards, and books. Very clean and comfortable. 3 minutes from town and the grocery store. Just top notch all around! This is the place to stay when visiting the Redwoods and surrounding area. Thank you, Andy!

Great host, amazing location, quirky and thoughtful touches... everything I'm looking for in a vacation rental. First coastal rental I've ever booked that was set up for oyster shucking (do better, everyone else)! The hot tub was clean and functional, the neighborhood was quiet and pretty. The fog was awesome to watch rolling in and the proximity to redwoods was perfect. No notes. Would absolutely book again.

Great Place close to everything.

The house is located in a wonderful quiet neighborhood, in front of the beach with an amazing view. We loved stayed in the house since we drove to the Redwoods national park and other attractions in the area within minutes. Also there are some nice restaurants north close by also. I would recommend this house to a family with kids. Thanks Andy for your help all the time.
