About this property

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

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.

Gorgeous Ocean Views
This house was everything we hoped it would be. The views and location are excellent - Just a short walk to the beach and very convenient to hiking and biking trails and to the store and town. The house is spacious with large windows and deck and had everything we needed. The hosts are charming and helpful and enriched are stay. We hope to return.

It was exactly as advertised.
Very serene location. It is perfect for a remote family trip. The local little grocery store was very helpful as getting back to town takes a very long time (50 min if you have kids prone to motion sickness((very windy road)). The home was clean and stocked with anything you might need. Even Yahtzee! The host lives next door and is very helpful and kind. Keep in mind this property is time and emotionally intensive ;) to get in and out from town- so come for r&r and beauty right next to the ocean. It’s not the best location if you want to travel to lots of surrounding places. The ocean view is awesome and walking next to the ocean so nice. Keep in mind this part of the ocean is for looking at, not swimming or surfing. Very dangerous. But stunning and breathtakingly powerful. The wildlife was lovely! Birds, seals, sea lion, deer and we even saw a bear! It was awesome. The restaurant options were surprisingly good for such a remote location. We would definitely recommend this place! We are a family of 6 and the house fit us perfectly.

Wedding
Our family booked a week in Shelter Cove to attend a wedding. The property was clean, neighbors friendly, and the view was priceless! The friendly and kind owners, Andy and Mary Ellen, would keep us posted as to the community events that occurred during the 4th of July week. Great time!

Our time at Black Sands Beach
We were in one of three houses we booked for a Celebration of Life. The outstanding accommodations, responsive hosts, amazing views, easy access to the beach, and walking distance to the other homes our family was in was perfect for us. Thank you!

Location is better than advertised
The house was perfect in almost always that mattered. The view was excellent, the proximity to the black sand beach and lost coast hikes were just what we needed. The only issue was that the host was away in FL. This meant we had no WiFi and cell service was spotty. But communing with nature was why we came here.

Unplug and Relax
We had a great time in Shelter Cove. This is a great place to getaway and unplug from reality. We needed a break from the corporate world and this trip definitely gave us the break we needed. It is quiet, not crowded, and very relaxing.

Wonderful stay!
This home and location are incredible. The pictures don’t do it justice. Plenty of space for our family of 6 and fully stocked with everything we needed. Mary Ellen was right next door and very quick to respond. We’d love to visit again! Thanks for everything!

Fantastic ocean-side retreat!
Amazing view, beautiful home (fully stocked) in a magical secluded setting, with terrific hosts right next door if you need anything. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
