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 :)
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Whale watch cottage

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.

We had a great stay here. 4 adults 1 child. Plenty of room and everything we needed. Very clean indoor and out. The outdoor space was fantastic. We will stay there again. Close to the beach you could hear the waves and a short walk and you were at the ocean.

We loved our stay at Whale Watch. The house came furnished with everything we needed for our stay. It was clean, well maintained and right on the door step of the Redwoods. We would definitely stay here again when we are back in the area.

Great little house with all you’d need - even a cupcake pan for our daughter’s birthday :) There was a VRBO issue with our dates, but the property manager was great with communication and accommodating us storing a few things with her until the house was ready. The “block to the beach” is to a bluff, but a 5-10 min walk takes you to some great tide pools and a beach which we loved!

The property was perfect!!!! The back porch was a great private spot to relax and read a book with the ocean in the distance. We enjoyed walks on the cliff above the beach and on the beach as we were a block from the ocean. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Thank you for supplying everything a house would typically possess. Very clean and well equipped!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Smoking House

This is a smoker house. It smells like vanilla Febreeze mixed with an ashtray. Why can’t people just smoke outside? The binder at the house says it’s $250 fine if you smoke in the house. We all felt sick from the smell, and feel like we deserve the $250 for enduring it.
