Perfectly situated within a few minutes' drive of both Arcata and Trinidad, this comfortable home in McKinleyville is a place to experience the beauties of the Northern California Coast.
In this quiet residential neighborhood, you'll be across the street from a horse pasture and a duck pond, within earshot of the ocean waves at night, and only about a mile from the Hammond Trail which offers wonderful hiking and biking through spruce forests and along the ocean bluffs that follow the Mad River. You can easily drive south the college town of Arcata with its great food, music, and art scene, or head north to hike and fish along the coast in Trinidad.
Inside, this single-level home is spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. Enter into a light-filled living room with large windows, a flatscreen TV, and a desk workspace where you can log onto the free WiFi. A cozy dining area leads into the full kitchen, where you'll find stainless steel appliances (including a French-door refrigerator, a gas range, and a dishwasher), a breakfast bar, and access to the washer/dryer. Just beyond the sliding glass doors are a spacious deck with a gas grill, built-in bench seating warmed by a fire table, and an enclosed yard that's home to the private hot tub. Other options for at-home entertainment include a Ping-Pong table in the garage, a selection of board games, and a second flatscreen TV in the primary bedroom.

House was clean, easy to find
We really enjoyed being able to visit our college student and relax in this beautiful home. Thank you for making everything so easy.
It was clean and inviting, only request would be to provide extra trash bags if a person is staying more than one night. I like to take trash out nightly (I don’t like lingering smells)
We had an excellent stay at Serentity By The Sea. Very cozy 3 bedroom two bath in a super quiet neighborhood. Clean and relatively new appliances compliment the game room in the garage and spectacular deck. BBQ worked well for grilling up some steaks. The pizza up the street is to die for. Spa was clean and nice to soak in after a long day at the beach. One suggestion would be to have a licensed electrician look at the spa connection. There are several code and safety issues with it, and it is likely to get someone or their dog shocked. Other than that I would highly reccommend staying here.
We were in the area for a wedding. This dog-friendly home was perfect for our multi-generational group. Plenty of space, lovely deck. We didn’t use the hot tub or pool table as we were busy with wedding stuff. Neighborhood was great for walking the dog and neighbors were nice.
Great price house was very nice very accommodating. Neighborhood was quiet just an overall great experience.
Overall a great home. We enjoyed the spa thoroughly. The master bed was fairly comfortable.(I’m picky) Things to add to the house: Cheese grater, salt and pepper shaker, patio furniture , plastic wrap, and trash bags. Overall it’s a great place to stay.
the house and everything was in great shape! we enjoyed having such a great base to explore from!
Terrible bongwater reek, sheets didn’t fit the bed. Dishwasher broken. And this is an EXPENSIVE place! Inagine if I’d picked a cheap vacasa property. I won’t choose a house managed by Vacasa again. I wish VRBO had a filter for “by owner” like the BO in their name.
very dog friendly--poop bags provided, fenced in yard. Dog bed, dog bowl etc. Bed was very comfortable. Convenient location.
Spent time with the new baby in the family. House was warm and cozy and the perfect size for our small family.
We would stay here again! Quiet neighborhood! Close to freeway and stores , beaches. Lots to do in the area.
Home is conveniently located to shopping, the airport and the freeway. Was a comfortable stay and enjoyed the hot tub!
Thank you for allowing us to bring our dogs. Our daughter attends cal poly Humboldt and she was missing her puppies. The house had everything you need!
This was the perfect spot for a small family getaway at the coast
The property was close to the airport and to other activities that were the reason why we were visiting.
Clean home. Great location. Well stocked. Nice to have the hot tub after a day of activities.
Very clean and spacious. Served our purpose wonderfully!! The hot tub was nice. The staff was very responsive when we had an internet issue.
This house was perfect. Clean! Well equipt. Hot tub was great, good hot showers, comfortable beds and full size coffee maker AND Keurig. Those are all the most important parts. Extras like plenty of toilet paper, dish soap, laundry soap, hand soap, spices and cooking oil. Super convenient to hwy 101 for sight seeing. Dollar store 2 min away and grocery not much further. Just an overall great stay.
Quiet neighborhood, nice, bright house, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and fun deck with hot tub, grill, smoker and fire pit. We were appalled, however, at how dirty and stained all three bedroom carpets were.
Nice place, would stay again.
Great location - near Cal Poly Humboldt and a nice dog beach. Very clean. I would go back again!
Had a great stay that was close to Hwy 101 and the main strip of McKinleyville. Met the owner of the house while we stayed, very friendly. Would stay again.
We had a family of 6, and we all fit comfortably. We also brought our 2 small dogs, who loved the place as well. There are a few things that need minor repairs. But overall we enjoyed our stay.
