Our input

We booked this property for my husband and I and our 3 adult children to stay over thanksgiving while we visited our daughter who lives nearby . The listing was not reflective of the condition of the home . The bonus of the home was the incredible view ! The negatives were that the master bedroom was in the basement as well as the second bedroom which was a cold and damp environment . It was difficult to regulate a comfortable temperature within the house with only electric heaters in the bedrooms and a pellet stove upstairs . The pictures showed a well maintained property which was not the case when we arrived . Barking dog from the neighbors as well as from the adjoining apartment . We loved the view and the proximity to our daughter but wouldn’t choose to stay here again. It was not worth the price we paid !.

Great house with Amazing View

This was a great house for our family of 5. We enjoyed staying here to see the Redwoods. The house was smaller than expected but the view of the ocean made up for its size. Although the house and neighborhood were older, the house was very clean and well-kept.

We're definitely coming back here!

What a beautiful home with a zillion dollar view. Everything was so clean and well-appointed. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of linens and the kitchen is well-stocked for cooking needs. The back yeard was immaculate and we enjoyed spending most of our time there. We appreciated the careful and timely communication with the property owner. We will absolutely stay here again.

Ocean oasis

We were so happy when we walked into the house to see the ocean view just as it was portrayed in the advertisement. The house was clean and nicely appointed. We were happy to see the yatzee game.

Incredible Ocean Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Charming house overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed our time hanging out on the deck and watching the ocean. Incredible views from the inside of house as well. Nice decor and comfortable feel to house. Only reason I didnt rate 5's all the way- needs a bit more attention to cleaning(under the bed and hot tub needs a service cleaning)

Beautiful view at the Clam House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Clam House is a terrific place to stay. Very clean, well-equipped, fast wi-fi, nice views. We would definitely go again. That said, it could stand improvement in two areas: the driveway is horribly rutted and should be fixed; owing to drought, the yard is just dead grass--some drought tolerant landscaping would be nice. And note, it's not easy to walk to the beach, but it is a short drive. And a great beach for walking dogs.

Amazing views and plenty of adventure!

I made the booking for my parents so I am summarizing what they said. They absolutely loved the place, especially the views and the awesome layout of the house. Plenty of windows with ocean views, the hot tub is the cherry on top. They loved the endless smooth beach area that they were able to walk on and the ease of the whole process. They even asked me to extend their stay by an extra night because of how much they enjoyed their stay. On my end (their son), I was tasked with communicating with the owner of the place and she was incredibly helpful and super responsive. She made this whole process smooth and easy. She was a great communicator and a very nice person to deal with. I would highly recommend this place for the ease of communication and my parents recommend it for the incredible views and experience.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great 6 days, best part of the house is the unobstructed 180 degree view of Clam beach and the ocean, and you can see the rocks and light house at Trinidad. House is clean but kitchen could be stocked a little better (silverware). Nice touch with the fresh cookies and coffee that was left for us. Bathrooms are nice and clean, beds were okay. Parking is tight for 2 cars, not P/U trucks

Clam Beach House Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at the house each day we returned from fishing off the coast. The BBQ worked great and the beds were comfortable. We were not aware that the house hovered right over Highway 1 where you could hear some road noise but it wasn't too distracting. The picture on the website makes it look like it's right up close to the dunes. One other suggestion, the dining room table should be longer to accommodate 6 people since there are three bedrooms.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in a beautiful spot and very nice overall. The beds were very comfortable. The property does allow dogs, and I was a bit put off by the "surprise" list of rules pertaining to pets that is framed upon the piano, mostly because almost none of this was mentioned prior to our arrival. Bit of a rude surprise really. When we travel he always take our dog's kennel which he does happily into when we may not be around.

Agree that it’s extremely overpriced- but beautiful view

Agree with other renters that this house is extremely overpriced for what you get. Nothing is updated, there is a mildew smell and the bathrooms/ bedrooms leave a lot to be desired. BUT the view is amazing. The property’s location/ proximity to beaches, Arcata, Trinidad is great. I was surprised that the property contact person lived RIGHT NEXT DOOR in the garage. The persons dogs did bark a lot. But other then that we had no interactions with them. There’s also an old tv with no internet access to use Netflix etc. which is handy when you’re traveling with kids. Love the view of this house, but wouldn’t stay here again unless it was “updated” (general maintenance done).

Awesome view, but.....

The view is just as pictured, beautiful. The house is cute and decorated nicely. And that is where it ends. The property manager (and I believe owner), lives onsite in the remodeled garage. Not a problem for us. She was friendly and helpful. The upstairs bedroom smelled funky. All of the downstairs smelled of a mildew and moldy basement. We even tried to air it out during the day. That made it tolerable to sleep in at night. The house is tidy, but not to the clean I am used to. Blinds had dead bugs in them, window tracks were dirty as well as the shower tracks. Many things were very worn. Maybe they are doing updating slowly?. Very disappointing.

Overpriced, much nicer homes for less miney

1. I have rented many homes for many years, much nicer and less money and fees. You can never cancel and get your money back. Not like the many homes I have rented. But was told I could change the date, if some thing came up. It did and I was charged $150. to do so. I was not told about that. 2. The carpets, counters and cabinet are very worn out looking. Carpet looked dirty. 3. Down stairs where 2 of the bedrooms are were very step. If you have bad knees or hips etc. not the plkace for you. 4. Down stairs has a moldy musty smell. It sleeps 6 but only had like one towel each to use for 3 days. Only 3 wine glasses etc. you should accomadate 6 people. Have more towels. Would not say there again.

Beautiful Getaway

We very much enjoyed this property, and were pleasantly surprised that some of the earlier complaints had been fixed. As mentioned, it is a 2-story beach house on a bluff overlooking the beach, and it is a glorious view, indeed. However, it is a rigorous 20 minute walk down the hill, under highway 1 and across some dunes to get to the beach itself, so it is a short drive, not a walk. The beach is a glorious stretch, mostly empty, great for dogs but no facilities on the beach (tables, toilets, etc). The house is very nice, with a sitting area and kitchen on the upper floor, along with a great wrap-around deck, smallish bedroom and very tight bathroom. The kitchen is very modern, with all the utensils and pots you might need (although, yes, a few more wineglasses and plates would be nice). The lower floor is down a steepish staircase and has a large bathroom and 2 nice-sized bedrooms. It was a little chilly down there at night so we used the electric heaters. Out the lower floor is a nice-sized patio and well-maintained hot tub, with lots of seating (but no view, alas) and a "lawn" with mowed weeds. Just fine. Beautiful flowers out front. The couch and linens have been upgraded. I agree that the seating is a little tight for 6 people, and I would add that this wouldn't be a great place for anyone with disabilities. However, we had a wonderful family gathering with my parents. The beds were very comfortable, the wi-fi met even my 22 yo daughter's high standards, and we happily cooked several meals. I recommend closing all the shades during a sunny day or it gets very warm upstairs. The town of Trinidad has some small but tasty restaurants and gift shops, we really enjoyed hiking all around, especially in Redwood National Park (no dogs allowed there). Grocery stores are nearby. If I had any suggestions for the owner, I might add a bath towel rack or two and pare down the Disney pottery and plants a bit but there's a lot to love here and we would absolutely come back.

NOT As Advertised

The home is NOT ocean front like advertised nor is it steps away...it is across the Hwy in the flight path of the airport and is a short drive down a steep hill, under the Hwy overpass to get to the beach. The photos show furniture in the living room and a piano that are not there anymore. The window screens in the living room are either missing or have holes in them so trying to air out the home to minimize the mildew smell only lets flies in. Very disappointed at the condition for the cost of the stay! We arrived shortly after check in time and had to wait for the cleaning crew to move their vehicles from the very steep and tight parking space. When we entered the home we were pleased with the wonderful wood floors and the beautiful view. We unpacked our groceries and I spilled a bottle of water on the floor and mopped it up with paper towels only to discover how dirty the floors were. I looked for a mop to give it a quick go over before we walked barefoot on it and couldn't find one anywhere. The garbage/recycling center in the kitchen smelled awful and there was food and napkins that had spilled over and were not cleaned up. When we walked out on the back deck there were several of the boards were rotten and a few that are a tripping hazard. The deck railing is super loose so don't lean on it. The converted garage is about 3 ft. from the house and the person who resides there has a very loud barking dog so that was fun also. The previous renters didn't do a good job of cleaning their pet messes so we made sure to take care of that before we put our 2 dogs out ( the pet baggies that are supposed to be in the drawer next to the stove were non existent so we used our own). Our first night was very sleepless, the beds were so uncomfortable that we ended up sleeping on the couches and the mildew smell in the basement where 2 of the bedrooms are is awful! The dishes, pots and pans had food stuck to them. I contacted the host to let them know of the issues and instead of trying to be helpful she was offended and told us we could leave and that the beds were 2 years old and she hadn't had any complaints, that her cleaning person did a great job and she did a walk through before the new renters came in and that she was basically insulted.... We checked the tags on the mattresses ( my significant other is in the mattress business) and they are 10 years old with at least a 4" dip in the middle so you roll to the center! RENTERS BE AWARE!

Perfect if that exists...

Absolutely loved this place! The view was amazing. The beds were sooo comfy! Everything we needed was available. The only thing I could say towards the bad would be the neighbor dog doesnt like it when there is company. He is not afraid to use his voice. We did not mind it but others may.thissaysaytowards the negative
