Very beautiful views from the house. House was in great condition and it was a perfect location for the activities we did in the Redwoods, Beaches, and Rogue River Jet boat ride.

Great location

We had our annual family getaway and picked this lovely house to spend our 3 days together. The house was easy to find. There are plenty of beds for everyone. The kitchen is stocked well. The dining room table was great for all of us adults to sit and visit at while the kids played in the HUGE backyard. You can see the ocean from every back window of the house. If there were a negative, it would be that the furniture in the living room was too low for taller folks. (We are all 5"8 and taller. 6"5 being the tallest)It is a great house and we enjoyed it.

A Great Stay!

Our group of 9 adult family members all agreed this home was comfortable and relaxing. Due to an unusual heat wave in the west, the weather here was absolutely amazing! Crystal clear and pleasantly warm every day. We couldn't think of a single item we needed that wasn't provided, and we really appreciated (and contributed to) the left-over spices cupboard. Had a great barbeque lunch our last day, the perfectly located gas grill worked flawlessly. Good communication through the app with host Rhonda easily took care of a couple of minor issues. Great place, great stay, highly recommend.

It was a nice home and great for all our family to enjoy. It was close to the ocean and in a beautiful area. We would suggest adding some things for the kids to do. More games, outside equipment for them to play on. All in all it was a nice stay.

Absolutely Amazing

Property was just as described. Very well stocked with kitchen items. Three kurig coffee pots plus a regular 12 cup. The view was beautiful and having coffee on decks was magical. We used the fire pit a couple of times. Conveniently located to River, beaches and Redwood Park. We loved our stay. Host was the best!!

We had a great family vacation here. The house was more than big enough with enough beds and bathrooms- it had the most towels available of any rental I have ever stayed in- it was great! It was close to beaches and the redwoods. The kids loved that there was a piano there and games available.

Overall good

Thank you Rhonda for letting us use your space to host a family reunion! The rooms were overall good, though one of the bed frames did break (again it appears since it was taped together) while we were there, just by sitting on it...Furniture is a bit old and we were all pretty nervous about the rules of making sure everything was in the right place. But the outdoor space is huge and glorious and made it so worth it.

The property was super nice with a great view and the host answered all questions quickly and went out of her way to gather more tables and chairs for the event. I wasn’t a huge fan of the event fee that we paid but I partially understand and I will say that only having the one key for the house was a bit of a pain. All around a good place and we had fun during our stay. Also, the kitchen bedroom was a little less than ideal but does its job.

2,100 SQ FT is well thought out - 1 week with a family of 12. Exceeded expectations

Summary: I was pleasantly surprised by how well thought out this home is. I was concerned that 12 people (8 adults, 4 teens) could not be comfortable in 2,100 SQ FT. However, the 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths upstairs are well appointed and comfortable. The addition of a sink and coffee center in the hallway is genius. It allowed for people upstairs to make a cup of coffee early without having to be concerned about waking anyone downstairs. We had family sleeping in the 5th bedroom downstairs (living room with built in stylish screen. A 3/4 bath and laundry are located nearby. We enjoyed the gas grill, fire pit, full fridge and bonus wine fridge! The kitchen is plentiful, we found the appliances, cookware, dishes, and utensils needed. This property is near everything. It was so easy to take a short drive and be in the redwoods or at the beach. This home exceeded my expectations and I'm grateful we found it and that the host was so accommodating.

Weekend stay

Communication was great-property was clean. I would say if it’s cold make sure to stop off and grab pellets for the stove- the only thing slightly negative was an animal got into the trash the first night we stayed so cleaning up trash that was not ours was not much fun.
