Good cozy place

The place was fairly clean, cleaner than most places I've stayed. Considering that this place is pet friendly, I think it was really great and my family will definitely stay here again. I would like to warn everyone that this place will not have any replacement garbage bags, so bring your own.

Worked well for us!

We loved that we had a dock for our boat and parking for our trailer. The kitchen was well-equiped and the beds were very comfortable!

Nice home

We loved being right by the canal. The neighbors were nice and quiet. The town of Eureka was nice. Plenty of unique places to eat at and shop. Drove up the coast to see the sea lions and otters. Would definitely stay here again.

Suitable for a brief low key stay in Eureka

Pros: Easy check-in, exceelent communication with property manager, very affordable for up to 6 ppl, welcomes pets, local walks with access to local beach, close to a few fun activities and convenience shopping. Cons: Located in a slightly tucked away area, and moderate smell inside the property of either other pets or maybe due to being an older property?

We had a wonderful stay as a family of five — the place had ample room, and everything was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was very well-stocked, making it easy to cook meals, and the beautiful deck was perfect for enjoying sunsets.Check-in was smooth, and the kitchen facilities, and proximity to restaurants, grocery stores, and the freeway made things very convenient.A special shoutout to Jennifer, who came by on short notice to check on what we thought was a dishwasher issue (it wasn’t!). Her quick response and friendly demeanor were much appreciated.Just a couple of minor things that weren’t a concern for us but might be worth noting: the bathroom doors didn’t latch securely from the inside, and the Wi-Fi signal was a bit weak in the master bedroom.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place!

Adorable cottage on the water

Let me just say as soon as we pulled up the driveway I was already feeling relaxed. Everything about the location screams relaxation and fun. Loved that they offered the beach bikes to cruise around the neighborhood. We fished off the dock and enjoyed every second we at this home. 5 stars and we will be visiting again .

Great stay in a cozy little place. It was pretty clean. Only lost a star because Vacasa did not provide any replacement garbage bags. We had an ant problem during our stay and needed just 1 replacement bag to help keep the place clean and they were none to be found and Vacasa said that they do not provide any extras, just the 1 that already lined the bin. So whether you stay 1 night or 7 days like we did, you only get 1 garbage bag. I think if we are staying a full week, we deserve a few replacement bags.

Year two in the books

We love this little place. Last year we had so much fun with the kayaks. This year just worked out to be nothing but relax and leave the world behind. Hoping our little place is there for years to come and just keeps improving with time.

Ideal spot for family of five

Cottage was exactly as described and perfect for our family of five for three nights. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Two bathrooms and washer/dryer was a huge plus! Kitchen had everything we needed (except coffee- bring your own) and everything was very clean. I enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning and the breeze through open windows at night was delightful.

Amazing stay

We absolutely love staying here! The interior is cute and charming. The place is well equipped with lots of kitchen supplies for cooking, heaters for those cold nights, brand, new appliances, and lots of board games. It was very clean as well. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others.

Such a fun place to stay. The backyard was a canal system and the kayaks were great. The house itself was perfect for our family of four. We spent most days exploring the Redwoods and having a central location to return to was perfect.
