Whale Watch Cottage 1 block from beach

Bring your binoculars :) Ocean views, and short walk to Pebble Beach make this a spectacular place to stay. We offer Hi-Speed Internet/Cable, a well equipped kitchen & propane BBQ, a remote-controlled fireplace, W&D, and an amazing bathroom. Small pets are allowed for a small fee.
The house is in a quiet neighborhood and is within walking distance to many parts of the beach; rocky or sandy. Bring the magnifying glasses if you have kids, because the tidepools at this beach are phenomenal! I recommend taking a walk to Brother Jonathan Park for a playground, restroom, and panoramic views of the coastline. More information is in the house binder. Please let us know if you have questions :)

Perfect Redwoods Base Camp

We loved staying at this house in crescent beach for our redwoods trip. It was well positioned to be a base camp as we explored beaches and redwoods for a week. It's just a minute walk to see Pebble Beach and is a short drive to other great beaches and the redwoods parks.

Home away from home.

This was our 3rd time here and we stay for several weeks. Great being near the ocean which makes for great walks along the beach. This little home is perfect for us and our small dog who loves the fenced in back yard. Sandy is a great property manager if there are any issues.

Extremely well organized and clean place to stay. Our 12 year old cat thoroughly enjoyed the experience, adopting the front room chair as his. A short stroll to the ocean for evening walks was wonderful, bed was comfortable and the silence was incredible.

Lovely House Close to Ocean

I stay in Crescent City a couple times a year for work and this place was the best rental I've stayed in. Nice neighborhood, you can hear the ocean at night but otherwise very quiet. Both beds were comfortable, the house was very clean. The backyard was absoutely perfect to sit in and enjoy a book in the sunshine. Would love to stay here again!

Great cottage close to the Ocean

We stayed here on a cross country road trip for 2 nights. We chose this property for access to the beach and the Redwood National Park. The location was great! It is in a quiet neighborhood. There were 2 adults, a teen, and 3 younger children and we had plenty of space. Everything was organized and labeled nicely. The backyard and patio are so welcoming!

Great little spot!

We loved the “Whale Watch” it was a perfect little house for our family for a few days. Crescent city has such a laid back feel and getting to have an entire house to ourselves with little ones made it better all around! Can’t wait to come back and visit! Also Sandy is amazing!! Can’t thank her enough for her quick responses!

Great homebase for Redwoods visit

This was a very comfortable place to relax after our days of hiking. We enjoyed the gas fireplace and the back deck. We didn't actually cook, but the kitchen seemed well supplied, and there were condiments, seasonings, and various other supplies available to use. There were labels to aid in finding things. It was a short drive to a number of restaurants and the beach really is a short walk. Even though it is pet-friendly, it didn't smell of pets. I'd rent this cottage again if I returned to this area.

This is such a wonderful little place! Firstly Sandy, was very communicative with me and quickly got back to me on some questions I had prior to leaving for our trip. She also contacted me by phone on the day we were to arrive and gave me all the check in info, which was very personable.Initially I was concerned about the beach access since this part of Crescent City is well above the beach, but just a short stroll away are some steps that lead to the loveliest beach one side of the stairs lead to tidepools and the other to a long sandy beach that was perfect for some chuck-it ball with my dog.The bedrooms were comfortable, a softer memory foam queen in one bedroom and a queen murphy bed in the other that my friend slept on and that had a cute half bath attached (so the house is really more of a 2 bed 1.5 bath rather than a 2 bed 1 bath). She always said she slept fine. The kitchen was well stocked, and the main bath has a wonderful shower. I also personally loved all of the notations around the house as it made it easy to find stuff. Lastly andother thing I absolutely loved was the back deck and entirely fenced back yard. It was so nice to sit on the deck and let my dog roam around without worrying she'd get out and enjoy the coastal breezes with a peek of the ocean.Next time we venture to Crescent City I will definitely see if this home is available.

We had a great time in Crescent City, the house was great! Location was perfect!! They had everything stocked up in the house that we needed to cook with and sleep. The back yard was big enough for our dog to run around and get exercise. Sandy called us before we arrived and told us the house was available early and if we needed anything we contact her.
