About this property

Are you ready to flip the switch & unwind?

  • Shelter Cove is the place for you. Let yourself take in the breathtaking beauty of the Pacific Ocean along with cool temperatures from the large front deck. If hiking in the King Range is your preference, the trail head is just a short distance from the front door. Maybe the kids are beach lovers, again just a few steps to Big Black Sands Beach. So come alone or bring the gang to "White Water Rental" where one or six can be comfortably accommodated.
