    Lovely and Authentically Funky
    The property itself is gorgeous. Inside the cottage however, there were some house keeping issues when we arrived: old coffee spill stains on the stove top, crumbs from old food were left in the microwave and toaster oven, all of the drawers where eating utensils were kept also had diet and old crumbs of food, one burner did not work on the stove top, all outside chairs and barbecue had dirt and cobwebs all over them. Other than that, it was an incredibly enjoyable, comfortable, homey cottage with tons of artistic interest.

    Perfect location, grossly underpriced, ideal central location for Redwood and the Oregon coast. The private beach across the street is perfect. I wish all Vrbo homes were this perfect

    Good except too cold for baby feet.
    Our stay was amazing. We are the type to bring extra bedding in case and it was not needed here. Our only complaint was it was too cold for our 1 year olds feet and on our first night it would not get warm. We got there around 5 and turned on the heaters but the baby was too cold. Bedding are super nice duvets so the beds were warm. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed.

    Del Norte house
    We stayed 3 nights at the Del Norte house. The house was well equipped as far a kitchen and bathroom supplies. The bed was comfortable. The shower was hot and had good water pressure. We did have a few issues with getting there. I clicked the link on VRBO website but the directions did not take us to the correct property. Fortunately, we realized this before we got to the wrong address. The other issue was a few bugs. There were some dead bugs in the shower the night we got in. My husband cleaned them up. The next morning, there were more bugs in the shower. There were a few tiny live bugs crawling around. I contacted the host to let him know. He told me the bugs are Rollie Pollie bugs that are common in the area. They are a nuisance but harmless. We kept our suitcases off the floor and zipped up. One other annoyance, we left on a Monday morning. We had 3 or 4 messages that we were to “roll” the garbage and recycling bins to the street for pick up. It was not a big deal, but we did pay a cleaning fee and not sure why we were responsible for this. The garbage pick up was either Monday night or Tuesday morning. We left at 7:30 am Monday.

    Great home base
    We enjoyed the close proximity to the Redwoods and the Coast. Downside of the cottage was not enough actual seating in the cottage and we had to bring our sand chairs in to the house to have a comfortable chair. It also would have been nice to have screens on the sliders and the front windows. Other than that it was a nice clean cottage and the beds were very comfortable. I also thought that there would be more privacy from the house in front.

    Great Location
    The Funky Little Beach House was perfectly located for easy beach access and proximity to the Redwoods as well as all the Oregon Coast. Ample space for 2 adults. Adequate facilities for meals and other personal needs. Bed is comfy but sure would have been nice to have a dresser but we made due. All in all a very nice place.
