We enjoyed our stay. What stood out was the attention to the details, things we might need for our dogs. Having access to the private beach was wonderful. We walked on it everyday of our stay. Overall it was a positive experience.
Such a comfortable, peaceful getaway spot. Beautiful views and lovely walks on the beach. Dont forget to have lunch or dinner at Maritime Cafe too - tasty!
I play a game that if I can see whales or dolphins from inside a house, I win. Shalimere wins. Gorgeous views from the house, deck, and hot tub. Access to a beautiful private beach. The house and space is fantastic. The kitchen has all the tools you need - I always take a range of kitchen utensils and items to VRBOs, Shalimere had it all. The bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely. The hosts, Michelle and Dave, are so communicative and helpful. We loved it so much, we are coming back next summer!
This was our second stay at Shalimere. Just as lovely as the first time. You can't beat the location, and the house is perfect for us. I'm sure we'll be back again.
Couldn't have been better. Aside from the welcome sounds of surf & birds, this is the quietest place ever. Combine that with time in the hot tub, and you reach absolute relaxation in no time at all. Our hosts provided very clear instructions, so we didn't need to guess about anything. Tastefully designed and well-lit spaces, well-equipped kitchen, incredible views. Hope to be back!
Weâve stayed at Irish Beach many times over the years but this was our first time at Shalamere. We love the access to the private beach and will definitely be back!!!
We have rented houses 2-3X a year on the "Mendocino" coast, never the same one twice, for 20 years. Not sure why, guess they all left something to be desired. Well we have finally found the place! We are going to rebook again and make it our go to rental on the coast. The owners are great to deal with. We had to reschedule to to a family issue and they were very accommodating. And My dog Daisy love the dog bed too!
Very comfortable stay at Shalimere. Michelle and Dave are very gracious hosts with excellent communication and suggestions for fun things to do and where to eat.Love the private access to Irish Beach.Great location between Point Arena and Elk.We hope to come back!Thanks, Michelle and Dave!
Well appointed kitchen made cooking easy and huge windows and sliding doors made for great viewing and listening to the ocean. Easy driving to old growth redwoods and great beaches. The hot tub under the stars was soothing, beds were comfortable and the gas stove was charming.
Shalimere was perfect for us to unwind from hectic holiday plans.This is our third or fourth stay and we will definitely be back! If you are looking for a clean, lovely home with all the amenities you could want or need,this is the vacation home for you. We had long walks on Irish Beach and Bowling Ball beach, checked out the town of Mendocino and played an epic game of Monopoly!
We loved our stay here. The house was beautiful with so many windows looking out at the ocean, a cozy gas fireplace, a hot tub on the deck, perfect master bedroom with huge shower. We didn't want to leave. A closet full of board games and also a large TV with Dish and all the streaming channels. We never ran out of things to do. Will definitely stay again.
My husband and our two pups had a relaxing, fun and enjoyable time. Having one big great room to hang out was perfect for spending time together. The views were ever changing. Plenty of games. Cozy fire. Hot tub on point. Donât miss out on this one. Plus Point Arena and Elk have an amazing food scene. The local S&B market has everything you want and need. Thanks for having us!
We loved everything about Shalimere! The communication from Dave and Michelle was outstanding and we couldn't ask for a better location. The kitchen was very well appointed and everything was very clean. We even got a glimpse of the Bobcat a couple of time. We tried one of their recommendations for restaurants in Mendocino and had a great meal. I would definitely stay at Shalimere again!
We stayed at shalimere to see the Northern California coast. This house was a good value with great views of the ocean and point arena lighthouse, and is located just off the main highway but enough away that we did not hear traffic. The house is comfortable and clean, as pictured. We would stay again. We like to take road trips with our dog, so much appreciate hosts who are willing to allow dogs. Not good cell service here, but the Internet WiFi worked for us. Any questions we had were answered quickly.
We had just a wonderful time in Irish Beach! The home is unique, cozy, and delightful with the most amazing views! We fell in love with the quiet area and the community beach. So happy that we got to experience a stay at Shalimere!
My husband, adult son, and our dog fully enjoyed this getaway - nice place to walk and run with hills for a bonus workout. The beach was great. The home is beautiful, clean, and comfortable.
