Ocean View!

Shelter Cove is a unique coastal getaway nestled in the Lost Coast Wilderness. It is about a 45-minute drive from Garberville at Highway 101. The road there takes you through breathtaking views and ancient redwood forests until you reach Shelter Cove. There you will find a small village with panoramic views of the ocean, quiet black sand beaches and lots of intriguing tide pools.

The three bedroom, three bath home can sleep up to 8 people and is about 50 yards from the shore with unobstructed ocean views.

The kitchen is fully-equipped for the gourmet cook and includes a dishwasher and microwave. The kitchen and dining area also have magnificent views of the ocean.

There is also a deck that faces the ocean for patio dining and offers sweeping ocean views. Jigsaw puzzles, games, videos and books are available for your enjoyment.

The home has central heating and a wood burning stove, washing machine and dryer, VCR & DVD player, stereo with cd player, a reading library and a ping pong table in the garage.

An airstrip is located within walking distance of the house and tie-downs are available.

Surrounding the airstrip is a beautiful 9-hole golf course.
