Visit to Redwoods

The apartment was clean and comfortable, just as described by owner. It was only a block off the square in Arcata so easy access to shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Wonderful Weekend at the Coast!

Absolutely loved staying at Joy and Larry's place in Arcata, and will definitely will do so again if allowed! A very comfortable space located right near the Town Square and a fantastic sandwich shop down the block (Hole-In-The-Wall Sandwiches), a must-visit. All-in-all, a very pleasant experience and accommodations, and would recommend to anyone seeking a comfortable spot in downtown.

A Great Little Place

We were in Arcata for a week to visit family. This VRBO was conveniently located to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping and walkable to the Marsh which is a bird sanctuary. The unit is cozy and is furnished with everything you need. It was located on the second floor. The washer and dryer is off the car port down below and it costs 3.50 to wash and dry a load. Make sure you have plenty of quarters. We found you had to wash the dishes and silverware before using as we discovered some were not clean because there is no dishwasher. We slept very comfortably. We would stay here again if we are in the area.
