Whitethorn, California
This charming home (circa 2005) sits across the street from the Shelter Cove Golf Course and airport, and boasts a clear view of the Pacific Ocean.
Pilots, take note. This Shelter Cove getaway is a short walking distance from the airstrip’s south end, and planes parked there can easily be seen from the house.
Our three story chalet has a family/TV/game room and a garage on the ground floor; kitchen, living and dining room along with two bedrooms, a den, full bath, laundry, and pantry, on the main floor. A full size washer and dryer, an extra fridge, and ping pong table are located in the garage. The house is also equipped with a outside shower, perfect for guests returning from the beach.
The well-equipped kitchen will make any cook happy. The pantry provides storage for guest food and houses small appliances. Also, a reverse osmosis drinking water system is handy at the sink.
The primary suite, on the third floor, has a separate bath, cathedral ceiling, and balcony that overlooks the main floor.
You’ll enjoy the oceanview from the front deck or indoors by the fireplace. Sunlight floods the living area which boasts a 22-foot ceiling. The bedrooms stay comfortably cool and dark in the back of the home.
The den fashioned with a queen sleeper sofa also serves as a cozy reading nook. Other beds include two California kings and one queen.
Nearby amenities include: Shelter Cove RV Campground Store & Deli (0.25 mile), Shelter Cove General Store (2.3 miles), Delgada Pizza and Bakery, Mi Mochima Venezuelan Restaurant, and the Gyppo Ale Mill.
Scenic nearby destinations include Cape Mendocino Lighthouse and Black Sands beach. Readers will discover local authors’ books at the local gift shop next to the General Store.
Smoking, pets and parties are not allowed. Thank you for respecting the quiet, peaceable nature of our neighborhood.
We hope you love the cove and enjoy your stay at Deer View Chalet as much as we do!
Our stay was great and pretty much exactly as described on the listing. Amazing ocean view. Only drawback was that the downstairs area smelled strongly of new paint, but I imagine that will subside over time. Highly recommend!
Beautiful home, nicely furnished with comfortable beds, Everything we needed was there! Close walk to the beach, tide pools, restaurants and store. Comes with a great ping pong table that we enjoyed! The communication with the owners was excellent! We would rent this place again in a heartbeat! Had a wonderful time hiking, playing golf, fishing, riding bikes, playing cards at night and reminiscing when we lived here in the summers in the 70’s and 80’s so my husband could fish commercially for salmon. This place and the owners exceeded our expectations!
Fantastic property in great spot near the action in Shelter Cove. Great communication with DG and very clear house instructions (especially check in). House was in immaculately clean condition. We loved the set up, views, and modern appliances in the main social space of the house. It is a short walk to the brewery and other attractions in Shelter Cove. Would highly recommend!
This place was wonderful for our family on our trip to the Avenue of the Giants (Giant Redwoods). The views were incredible and the house had a little bit of everything for everyone. Plenty of room for our family (4 adults & 2 young children) to spread out and come together. It was walking distance to the local brewery/restaurants/market, which was a huge plus for us after the long drive up. If we ever find ourselves headed up to the Lost Coast again (and I'd love to since it should be a California Bucket List item for everyone), I would 100% stay here again. The Host was wonderful in their communication and we had everything we needed. Our family who had traveled in from out-of-state were blown away with how wonderful this magical little town and this great home. Thank you for letting us stay here!
The house was beautiful and peaceful! We used the house as a base camp for hiking the southern portion of the Lost Coast Trail and it was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone and hiking gear. All the rooms have great amenities and nicely furnished. For the lucky ones who got to hold down the fort, the views and location were amazing. Thank you so much and excited to come back!!
Enjoyed our stay. The home was decorated perfect for a beachy retreat. The view of the ocean and the amazing sunsets were spectacular! The kitchen was perfectly stocked for all our cooking needs. The host replied to questions very quickly. We will definitely be staying here again!
It was easy to communicate with the owners and everything is layer out well. I would recommend it to anyone
Beautiful high-quality property, clean, well designed, well appointed, and in a great location. DG was an excellent communicator and made sure we knew what was supplied and what was not. We bought our groceries in Eureka on the way in and never had to leave Shelter Cove during our 7-day stay (the General Store in SC has a surprising variety of items but not everything). Spent time on the sunny deck (it faces southeast) and hiked, cycled and walked throughout the neighborhood. There are two black sand beaches, and the bigger/better one is a ten minute drive. You can visit the seals any time of any day within a ten minute walk. Loved watching the small planes take off and land at the airstrip — just a few times a day. Friendly neighbors. Beautiful in good weather and bad. A place we would buy if we were in the market!
We loved our stay at this beautiful, comfortable, and welcoming property. The owners anticipated our every need. Our one suggestion would be to have a tv on the main floor so everyone can watch what they want and/or the cook can enjoy some shows while preparing dinner. Can’t wait to return.
Great value for an exclusive vacation.
