BAYVIEW BUNGALOW INCREDIBLE DOWNTOWN LOCATION

BAYVIEW BUNGALOW VACATION RENTAL is a charming sanctuary for visitors looking for distinctive vacation or longer-term accommodations. Located in the heart of our small, but lively and diverse city, Arcata’s numerous amenities are within easy walking distance.

Bayview Bungalow is centrally located, yet private, quiet, and cozy. Our property is a stand-alone, two bedroom home built in the 1940s, and recently renovated with contemporary tastes. The interior of our bungalow has a modern decor with an eclectic array of fine art and illustrations from the local area. The living room has a beautiful dining/conversation island made of local and exotic woods and surrounded by comfortable, bar-height chairs. A mini wall mounted gas fireplace provides both ambience and warmth for those cool nights (and some days!). A flat screen television with ROKU TV and wireless internet will keep you entertained and connected. There is a full kitchen, stocked with the necessities should you opt to dine in. The two bedrooms have queen-sized beds with memory-foam mattresses. Our guests can enjoy the views of Arcata’s historic Plaza, Arcata Bay, and forested horizons from the expansive porches. We do allow dogs but we charge 30.00 per day per dog.

Bayview Bungalow’s location allows you to experience all that is wonderful about Arcata while leaving your car parked. You can easily stroll to shops, restaurants, movies, the Arcata Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, or Redwood Park trails. Bicycle rentals are also available within a few blocks if you want to branch out a bit – Arcata is very bike-friendly. Within a few steps of the front door, Wildberries Marketplace has everything you could ask for in a grocery store and more: conventional and organic foods, juice and salad bars, scrumptious deli offerings, made-to-order sandwiches and ready-to-eat dinner specials, and a coffee/espresso bar. If your looking for a late night meal try Toni's 24 Hour Restaurant.

Just minutes away by car, you can experience some of the exquisite natural features in the area - sandy beaches, wild rivers, coastal trails, and giant redwoods. Eureka’s historical jewel, Victorian-Era Old Town, graces Humboldt Bay’s waterfront with fine dining, shops, and bookstores just ten minutes’ drive to the south. Fifteen minutes north, Trinidad is a picture-perfect coastal village with a vintage lighthouse, the local fishing fleet moored in Trinidad Bay (and of course, fresh, locally-caught fish!), and our favorite wine tasting room - Moonstone Crossing, where local vintners Don and Sharon offer a fantastic selection of their award-winning wines.

Whether you are here on vacation or business, are a visiting professional, a parent of an HSU student, or are simply passing through, we hope that spending some time at Bayview Bungalow will enhance your travel experience to Arcata.

Annual Arcata fabulous retreat💙
We have come to find this sweet little bungalow our second home. We love it! Close to old town and all the fabulous restaurants. Where can you find a bakery that also serves pizza! We love sitting on the deck and looking at the bay having our morning coffee. I would definitely recommend this property 💙

Arcata fun
My wife and I had a wonderful stay in this great house. Perfect location for walking in town to restaurants, bars and shopping. If you are a runner you can easily run to the beautiful city park or the paths around the marsh. Has a cool little running store the Jogg’n Shoppe! Great place for cycling and perfect local if you want to venture up to the Redwood National and state parks as well as near by small beach towns like Trinidad for fun and exploring. Highly recommend the Bayview Bungalow and hope to return again in the near future.

Great cottage in walking distance to most of DT Arcata
This is a beautiful little cottage. Amenities were well thought out. Great location across from Wildberries Market and a short walk to Arcata center and the dining and shopping of the area. Really good communication with the owner while we were there. Only comments of note I could make are the beds are low to the ground (getting harder to get out of as I seam to be getting older, lol) and the mattresses are a bit firm for me as well, though after the first night my body got used to the mattress. That said, will definitely be on our short list of places to stay again when visiting our Son. Thank you!

The improvements made to this house were excellent. Newer windows, flooring, dining island, lots of electrical outlets, comfortable beds and great leather furniture in the living room. Our only downsides were lack of railings on the front steps andbusy street (but great people watching) .

Perfect Pet Friendly Cottage
Very comfortable cottage in a great location. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and a fenced yard for the dogs made for a great weekend retreat from the inland heat. Easy walking to Arcata Square and groceries across the street. Good central location for exploring the coast...just a short drive south to Eureka or north to Trinidad.

Graduation trip
Basically needed a place to stay close to family who lives in Arcata. Came for relative's graduation. House is well supplied even though we just slept there. The rug in the bathroom is dangerous. Does not grip floor. Felt VRBO on sign outside advertises tourists inside. First time I have ever had to start a load of wash in a rental! But it is cozy and handy to downtown.

Great House with a Wonderful Yard
This was our second stay at the Bayview Bungalow and it didn't disappoint. The property is centrally located and it's easy to cross the street to get to the market, or walk a few blocks to be in the town square. The home itself is easy to access, clean and exactly as described. The yard is nicely fenced in, which our pup loved. Toni was communicative and helpful. We would certainly stay at the Bayview Bungalow again.

Location, location, location … Perfect Arcata Location
Great space in a great location! Space was perfect for our party of 2. Used both bedrooms and we both thought the beds were comfy and there were plenty of linens available. The shower is amazing! The bathroom is plenty big. Easy check in and check out. Was traveling with a 4 legged friend and there is a great backyard with plenty of room to play around. Great location!!! Just a quick walk to the town center and plenty of restaurants. A great market with everything you need is a few steps away!

Just right as a base for our north coast adventures. The Bayview Bungalow was comfortable and cozy with a surprisingly well equipped kitchen. It is ideally located within a short walk of Arcata’s interesting shops and restaurants. We’ll be back!

This place is very very expensive for what you get. It’s not very nice and it’s not in a great area but they take dogs and the only place we can find on short notice. I stayed in Arcata many times before and this is my least favorite place

This small cottage has a great location, across the street from Wildberries Market, with a bakery, sandwich shop, hot food and salad bar, as well as a full-service grocery. It is a very easy walk to the Plaza, restaurants, and shops. The bed is comfortable, and the kitchen is full stocked with appliances.
