Cozy Oceanfront Home! Only 30 feet from the water!

Shelter Cove is on California's Lost Coast where the King Range meets the Pacific Ocean. It experiences mild temperatures year around, so summers are not too hot and winters not to cold.

Because of the very steep terrain on the coastal areas surrounding Shelter Cove, the highway builders constructing State Route 1 (the "Shoreline Highway") decided it was too difficult to build the coastal highway along this long stretch of what is now know as "the Lost Coast". As a result, the small fishing village of Shelter Cove remained very secluded from the rest of the populous state, despite being only 230 miles (370 km) north of San Francisco.

Today, Shelter Cove is accessible by boat, a short 40 minute drive from Hwy 101 through the redwood forrest or via the small private Shelter Cove Airport. As a result of its seclusion, the Shelter Cove area has become a popular spot for those seeking quiet vacation respite.

Shelter Cove offers many amenities including a 9 hole golf course, fishing charters, a spa, deli, coffee shop, a light house, hiking trails, community center, gift shops, a general store, BrewPub and great restaurants.

There are also parks such as Black Sands Beach, Mal Coombs Park, Seal Rock Picnic Area and Abalone Point. Much of the land around Shelter Cove is in the King Range National Conservation Area, which is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and available to be enjoyed by the public.

This home is not only located directly on the water, it is walking distance or a very short drive to everything Shelter Cove has to offer. It has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. A fully equip kitchen, fire place, wet bar, garage and all the amenities of home. Best of all it has full views of the ocean throughout the house and a beautiful private redwood deck only feet from the crashing waves. You can listen to the waves all day and night and watch the only blowhole in Shelter Cove right from the comfort of your chair.

If you are looking for a nice quiet getaway for your family or friends then look no further!
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Abalone Point. The holiday home includes amenities such as free WiFi and in-room jetted baths.
  • The holiday home offers a kitchen, a washing machine and 2.5 bathrooms

Best Ocean View
We enjoyed staying in Shelter Cove during the hottest time of this summer where the temperature was around high 60's and lower 70's at most. We enjoyed our stay and would go back and stay this house in the future despite of some flows. Good things first. The house had the great view of blow hole and 100's of whales that are migrating to the North. The wind was very strong in two days that splash was coming to deck and we couldn't even open the door. That is how close this house is standing by the ocean. We enjoyed the almost 240 degree ocean view with sunset everyday. Basically everything is within walking distance except the small grocery store up on the hill. These are all minor things(maintenance issues), but we weren't expecting with this price range of the rental house. The bath tub in master bed room was covered with mold in jet holes. The lighting in the house is very dark except above the wet bar. The coffee in the kitchen was very stale. The bed sheets on master bed had the tons of cheap chemical perfume smells from cheap detergent that caused the serious allergy, so are the extra sheets. The code did work with the front door, but there were something wrong with door that wouldn't open at all. The towel hanger in the master bed room fell off the first time my husband touched on the arrival day. He fixed it with the parts and tools that he got from the next door neighbors who are very friendly and nice. Overall, it was good stay.

Great winter wave watching
The house was big yet still managed to feel cozy and comfortable. The big picture windows facing the ocean gave us a continuous wave show. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of pots, knives and equipment and we had no problem creating festive meals for the eight people staying. Host and property owner were helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Location location location
Fantastic spot feet from the waves. So close, most of the windows and doors have mechanical issues from the salt spray. Sunset and wine! Coffee and sea life. Good beds. You better bring all the food u need and plan on cooking. Shelter cove is remote with essentially no store. The only store is 3.5 miles up a steep winding road and its basically a 7 11. Would we return? Definitely. But we enjoy steep narrow winding mtn roads.

Perfect Home on the Ocean
Beautiful unobstructed view right above the blow hole. Came down with family and 2 babies and there was plenty of space. 3 separate bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms in an easy layout. It rained a few days and there were lots of games and the TV had plenty of choices. Very comfortable home and well stocked to feel like a home away from home. We have been coming to Shelter Cove for 20+ years to fish and vacation and this has been our favorite rental so far. Conveniently located to walk to everything. Will definitely be returning! Thank you!

Nice house in lovely location had some issues
This house was as advertised and generally comfortable. We rented it for the view and it has that wonderfully. However, we arrived (2 couples) with 7 days worth of food, much of it frozen, and discovered the fridge was off and warm. We were quickly able to find the problem and turn it on--the GFI breaker had tripped. The manager knew the fridge was off and said she was planning to offer us a cooler! There was no curtain on the large patio window in the master bedroom. Wide open. While it looked out to the ocean, there was a backyard and it was disconcerting at night to undress in front of a large uncovered window. (There were holes in the frame where a curtain had previously hung.) There were no bedside tables in the second bedroom which were needed for meds, cpap, a light etc. There were nails in the walls where pictures had been taken down and no effort made to remove the nails that had held art. In general, we were satisfied with our stay but felt the house was not a good value for the price.

Stunning ocean views
This was our first trip to the Lost Coast. The views from the house were amazing. Front row seat to the crashing waves and breathtaking sunsets plus a blow hole! The hosts were very attentive, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable. If you are looking for a quiet retreat with stunning views of the redwoods meeting the ocean this is the place for you. Lots of trails to hike, a harbor and lighthouse, seals, birds, deer. There’s a nine hole golf course and a large black sand beach. About an hour from the avenue of the redwoods. We enjoyed the fish and chips at the campground deli and we’ll be back to try the brewery and Peruvian restaurant.

Amazing Stay
We were a family of 6 (2 grandparents, 2 adults, 2 kids). The house was very clean and the house was super comfortable for all of us. The location was excellent, right on the ocean. Waking up to see waves crashing out in the ocean right outside of our window was pretty spectacular. Highly recommend, we would definitely stay here again if we visit Shelter Cove!
