Serenity By The Sea

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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.

Lost Coast trip
The property was okay. It felt like a home that sits vacant for months and then you come for a weekend and it smells funky, and it’s not “dirty” but not clean either. Could use a little yard maintenance, just cut the grass at least. Again, it was fine, if you plan on being out most of the time and you’re just sleeping there.

Great family stay
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 home in McKinnleyville
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.

Not ready for prime time
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.

Great stay could use a few things in the kitchen
We like the house and almost everything it had to offer. If you plan on staying here more than a couple days and cook your meals you will have to bring all ingredients to cook with. I mean everything, this house doesn't even have salt and pepper. Other than this small issue we really enjoyed our time at this property.
