Excellent

Exceptionally clean. Lovely front and back yards, full of flowers and trees. Good quality kitchen tools, including a hot water kettle, a French press, and coffee maker with filters. Plenty of nice towels and blankets. Great location for exploring Eureka, Arcata, and the beaches & redwoods to the north. Very close to grocery stores and restaurants in McKinleyville. We didn't use the hot tub because we were too busy exploring the area.My family had a great stay here. Note: all three beds are doubles, with two pillows per bed. We bought a couple of pillows in Arcata because all four of us sleep with two pillows.

Cute, clean house in a quiet neighborhood. The 3 bedrooms were great. 1 bathroom with 6 people...requires patience. Close to beaches, redwood trails, and shopping.

house was ok. communication not the best

The house itself was okay and matched the listing, but the check-in process was a hassle. I received confirmation that my verification had been completed three nights before arrival, but just a day before check-in, I was told there was an issue and that my booking might be canceled due to an incomplete verification process. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress. Communication was also frustrating—since it was managed through a broker office, I ended up speaking with different people who gave me inconsistent information. Overall, the stay was fine once I got in, but the experience leading up to it could definitely be improved. Also, we ran out of toilet paper and was told they only supply one and I needed to buy my own
