Clean, well stocked, and great location. We drove to many places in the redwoods state and national parks within 45 minutes north and south, and there are 5-6 really nice beaches within a 15 minute drive.

Great host, amazing location, quirky and thoughtful touches... everything I'm looking for in a vacation rental. First coastal rental I've ever booked that was set up for oyster shucking (do better, everyone else)! The hot tub was clean and functional, the neighborhood was quiet and pretty. The fog was awesome to watch rolling in and the proximity to redwoods was perfect. No notes. Would absolutely book again.

Great Place close to everything.

The house is located in a wonderful quiet neighborhood, in front of the beach with an amazing view. We loved stayed in the house since we drove to the Redwoods national park and other attractions in the area within minutes. Also there are some nice restaurants north close by also. I would recommend this house to a family with kids. Thanks Andy for your help all the time.

We enjoyed everything about Serenity Wave starting with the expansive view of the ocean the minute you walk in the front door. Just wow! The owners thought of all the big and little things that make a trip comfortable and enjoyable. This will be our go to when visiting our daughter in the area.

It Was Wonderful!

The property is located near the ocean in a nice residential neighborhood with an unobstructed view of beautiful sunsets. It is modern, very well stocked, and has more amenities than we were able to use. The kitchen has everything you would need including pods for the coffee maker and condiments in the refrigerator. The beds were very comfortable with a TV in each bedroom in addition to the main room. The outdoors is very nicely landscaped and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful view with quick access to the Redwoods!

Our host Andy thought of every detail! No need to bring or purchase minor conveniences. Fans are available in the bedrooms, there is a stocked Keurig coffee maker, tea bar, and plenty of items needed in the kitchen for a weeks stay. They even have laundry supplies, so you do not need to purchase anything but your food items. thank you for the hospitality Andy!

Golden birthday trip

We took a golden birthday trip so our almost 7 year old daughter could see the ocean and redwoods per her request. My wife also wanted to show us around as she attended humboult for her undergrad. The house has a great view of mad river and the ocean. There was access to the beach and bluffs right down the road, and close proximity to all arcata, eureka, and Trinidad has to offer. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to navigate. The hot tub was wonderful for after a day of exploring and hiking, the kitchen stocked with anything a family would need, plenty of towels and bathroom amenities, games for the family to play, streaming services available on the television, grill, different seating areas to enjoy meals, and a serene backyard complete with an egg swing for use. The house was clean and ready for us, communication was great with host, and check out a breeze. Highly recommend this place especially if u have kids. We had a wonderful time in Northern California!!!

Beautiful home

Enjoyed a wonderful stay while visiting our daughter at Cal Poly Humboldt. The property has all the comforts of home and lots of wonderful extras. Everything in the home is high-quality and well cared for. It was a very comfortable stay. The backyard is a gem and truly a magical paradise. Gorgeous sunsets and the opportunity to leave the stressors of home behind and just relax and unwind. My husband enjoyed the high-definition television in the living room. I loved the swing that overlooked the water and all of the birds that flew overhead. This place is truly a crown jewel of rentals. Thank you for a wonderful stay and exceptionally amazing communication at every step of the way, Andy!

What a gem!

This was a great property. We had 1/2 of a duplex. The hot tub was great. We used it several times a day. The sunsets from the back decks were beautiful. We did figure out how to get to the beach that for the ocean and it was awesome and quiet. Lots of shells. The kitchen was fully stocked and ready to cook. There were snacks and some essential ingredients for use. The beds were comfy. It was very clean and nice. We would definitely stay here again if we were to find ourselves back in Northen California. Andy was a great host and checked in to be sure we didn’t need anything.

Everything about our stay was amazing. Host was very communicative and the property was just as described. The outside space was perfect to enjoy the amazing ocean views. House was centrally located between Erueka and Redwood Park and there were great walking/biking trails within walking distance of the property. Highly recommend.
