    Jason gave great directions to the house. After the first time, it was easy to find. Cute and quiet, with a yard for the dog. He left us a bottle of wine which led to the discovery of a nice winery. If you have time, rake the Humboldt Bay cruise on the Maraket! Thank you Jason!

    We loved the Beach House! It's a cute little bungalow by the beach in a quiet neighborhood, close to Arcata and CalPoly Humboldt where we attended our son's graduation during our stay. We especially enjoyed walking the dunes and beach right by the house. It was definitely one of our best get-aways!

    Our first time to Eureka. Our VRBO was perfect for our needs. 2 seniors and a puppy. The awesome beach walks, from the house further down the road were perfect. Two bedrooms, but the bed we chose was so comfortable.

    Great stay. Love the location, halfway between Eureka and Arcata. Cute home with a nice area for my dog to play in outside. The beds are really comfortable. I would definitely book a stay again if I am in the area.

    A little bit of a walk to the beach. You pass through some trees and brush. There are mosquito's as big as small aircraft, on the way. Please do as recommended and use mosquito spray. Nice beach with shells and sand dollars.

    We stayed 5 nights. We loved how peaceful the neighborhood was and that the location was between both Eureka and Arcata. Your choice on flavor of town. Didn't realize there was a temperpedic which was an extra bonus for us. Beach was a short walk through an amazing sand dune area. Beach was off-leash and secluded. Communication was clear and precise. They warn you of ticks in tall grasses if you have an adventurous dog as we do. Loved the fire pit and fenced yard. Great place to stay for us and our puppy crew!

    We stayed at the house for about 4 nights. It was clean and exactly as described. We appreciated the fenced in yard for our dogs. The complimentary bottle of wine was a special treat. Jay was responsive and helpful. The house was very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

    We couldn't have been more delighted with our stay at Bowie & Jay's Beach House. The place is spacious, comfortable, well-maintained, and well situated. Jay provided a very complete notebook of instructions and ideas for making the most of the stay. We were visiting family nearby, and it was easy to gather with them here. Everyone had a great time. We live in Pennsylvania, but we can't wait to return, when possible. Thank you, Jay, for your excellent hospitality!

    This was a wonderful warm inviting place to stay. 2 great bedrooms with very comfortable mattresses. A+ for importance to me!!! Great kitchen, we used every day. Only thing was having to play with the shower. It was hard to get the right water temperature; either too hot or luke warm. Jared to find happy zone.. Thanks for the local wine…so nice. Easy to get ahold of for questions.

    Cozy little place with most everything you will need. We came for a little beach time and hiking the redwoods. Beach was a little further away than we thought when we booked it(almost a half mile) but it is a nice walk through some sand dunes and we had that section of the beach to ourselves for the most part so the walk is worth it. It is about central in the redwoods for anything you want to do. We hit up alor of hiking on the north end and avenue of the giants to the south. Caught a nice little fishing charter out of Trinidad as well. sand dines
