Shelter Cove House | Inviting Oceanfront Retreat Just Steps from the Shore

3 Bedroom House with Barbecue, Laundry and TV

Shelter Cove is on California's Lost Coast where the King Range meets the Pacific Ocean. It experiences mild temperatures year around, so summers are not too hot and winters not to cold.
Because of the very steep terrain on the coastal areas surrounding Shelter Cove, the highway builders constructing State Route 1 (the "Shoreline Highway") decided it was too difficult to build the coastal highway along this long stretch of what is now know as "the Lost Coast". As a result, the small fishing village of Shelter Cove remained very secluded from the rest of the populous state, despite being only 230 miles (370 km) north of San Francisco.
Today, Shelter Cove is accessible by boat, a short 40 minute drive from Hwy 101 through the redwood forrest or via the small private Shelter Cove Airport. As a result of its seclusion, the Shelter Cove area has become a popular spot for those seeking quiet vacation respite.
Shelter Cove offers many amenities including a 9 hole golf course, fishing charters, a spa, deli, coffee shop, a light house, hiking trails, community center, gift shops, a general store, BrewPub and great restaurants.
There are also parks such as Black Sands Beach, Mal Coombs Park, Seal Rock Picnic Area and Abalone Point. Much of the land around Shelter Cove is in the King Range National Conservation Area, which is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and available to be enjoyed by the public.
This home is not only located directly on the water, it is walking distance or a very short drive to everything Shelter Cove has to offer. It has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. A fully equip kitchen, fire place, wet bar, garage and all the amenities of home. Best of all it has full views of the ocean throughout the house and a beautiful private redwood deck only feet from the crashing waves. You can listen to the waves all day and night and watch the only blowhole in Shelter Cove right from the comfort of your chair.
If you are looking for a nice quiet getaway for your family or friends then look no further!

Summary: Perfect location: close to places to eat, community center, trailhead and the cove. We drove to Black Sands trailhead and dropped off three family member who hiked the Lost Coast Trail. We got to join the locals for bingo night at the community center and I took three yoga classes there too! We brought our golf clubs and golf balls and practiced putting on the golf course right across the street from the house. We enjoyed the Bistro, Ale Mill, Mario’s Marina Bar and Surf-point coffeehouse. We took an art workshop at the Makers Collective and got bodywork work done for massage.
