Welcome to Clam Beach Cottage your new favorite getaway just 1/2 mile from Clam beach with endless miles to walk on pristine shores! Spectacular ocean views from a hill top, Clam Beach Cottage offers a quiet oasis of privacy and beautiful ocean views.

Beautiful Views & Great Location

We really enjoyed the incredible views and the location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to do, but it felt private and relaxing. Just a five minute drive to Clam Beach for beachcombing and beautiful sunsets when weather allows! The home was comfortable, the beds were great, and the management team was responsive and easy to work with. We’d be happy to stay here again!

Great Cottage to Visit the Redwoods!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage was clean and spacious and in a great location just south of the Redwood National Forest (about a 30 minute drive). The walk to Clam Beach was a nice plus and the sunsets from the top deck were awesome!

Great Location, Looks as Pictured, But Several Issues

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was decorated well, matched the photos, and had comfortable, clean furniture and bedding. We felt safe during our stay. The view was lovely, the location was good, and there were games and books available. The kitchen was adequately stocked with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, and a few spices. Before check-in, we requested to drop off luggage since we were arriving early, and management agreed — very helpful.However, upon arrival, the home was extremely hot upstairs due to large windows facing the sun. There’s no central air (which we knew), but there were no screens on the windows with the best breeze, so opening them let in mosquitos. After texting, someone offered to bring box fans.We soon noticed ants in the kitchen (with bait already out, so clearly a known issue) and that the downstairs rug hadn’t been vacuumed well. That evening, the upstairs tub barely drained and was clogged with hair. All but one smoke alarm had been removed, and more ants appeared. I emailed and was told someone could come the next day.They provided temporary window screens, offered to vacuum (I had already done so), said they’d spray for ants, and reinstall smoke detectors. However, the ant problem worsened — showing up in the kitchen, laundry room, near the front door, in the primary bathroom, and eventually in my son’s bed. We were refunded the cleaning fee.Would we return or recommend? Probably not, though with improvements, it could be a much better rental.
