This was the first time we rented through Vacasa, and we were thoroughly impressed with the property. It was immaculately clean, fully furnished, and extremely comfortable! We’d absolutely stay again—no hesitation! ##### Valerie I. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason C. 24 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We enjoyed the close proximity to the highway, beaches, grocery stores and restaurants from this property. It was a very quiet neighborhood and we enjoyed the beautiful backyard where our dog enjoyed running and playing. We sat out on the patio every morning for coffee. There is a gate that leads to a trail right out the back yard for walks, or biking. We had plans in both Trinidad and Arcata and this location in McKinleyville was perfect to get to both locations with ease. The kitchen was well equipped and the homes decor is beautiful. The overall layout of the house makes it feel very roomy and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. Our dog loved the treats that were so thoroughly left for him. ![BBQ and deck area](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bb68e044-4563-40fd-ba57-6126b0a8c92c-1758684485163.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lovely outdoor table, chairs and umbrella for outdoor dining. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0d2a008e-fec8-4874-8459-80f9fad7c450-1758684486568.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beautiful and comfortable living space. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/400aa954-a0f3-40a5-aa5b-01f790447127-1758684489105.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![A thoughtful gift for our furry family member. ❤️](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7c8f4df5-0791-4fc1-a441-bcb954bd8f82-1758684913928.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jason C.
