We had a great family vacation here. The house was more than big enough with enough beds and bathrooms- it had the most towels available of any rental I have ever stayed in- it was great! It was close to beaches and the redwoods. The kids loved that there was a piano there and games available.

It was a nice home and great for all our family to enjoy. It was close to the ocean and in a beautiful area. We would suggest adding some things for the kids to do. More games, outside equipment for them to play on. All in all it was a nice stay.

Absolutely Amazing

Property was just as described. Very well stocked with kitchen items. Three kurig coffee pots plus a regular 12 cup. The view was beautiful and having coffee on decks was magical. We used the fire pit a couple of times. Conveniently located to River, beaches and Redwood Park. We loved our stay. Host was the best!!

This home was the perfect place for our wedding reception/dinner! Rhonda went above and beyond to answer any questions we had and even helped us get tables and chairs for the dinner. The art and decor she has around the home was absolutely stunning. The ONLY thing “wrong” with this home is that it was a bit dirty. There was white dog hair on the stairs, underneath the couches had literal dust balls, and the comforters on the beds had stains on them. We do not care about a pristine home, as we are just not those kind of people. Overall 10/10 stars and would come back or recommend to a friend!

The property was super nice with a great view and the host answered all questions quickly and went out of her way to gather more tables and chairs for the event. I wasn’t a huge fan of the event fee that we paid but I partially understand and I will say that only having the one key for the house was a bit of a pain. All around a good place and we had fun during our stay. Also, the kitchen bedroom was a little less than ideal but does its job.

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Bateman

Host profile image
When I first decided to rent my property as a vacation home in the summer, I imagined it to be a place where friends and families could come from different locations to share time together in a relaxed and comfortable home setting. So far, this home has exceeded my imagined expectations, and has become just what I had hoped, for your friends and family, as well as mine!

Why they chose this property

I am forever enchanted by the crashing wave views of the Pacific Ocean, and I fell in love with the peaceful area, and the nearby giant redwood forests. The Tudor style of the home reminds me of a storybook cottage, on the edge of the forest, looking out at the ocean waves, and the sunsets are spectacular!
After purchasing the property in 2019, it took two years, and a lot of hard work and perseverance to completely remodel the interior from top to bottom, and to repair and paint the exterior, but I am very happy with the results! I hope you are too!
Welcome to the Pacific Sunset House! I hope you enjoy your stay!

What makes this property unique

This unique home is set on over an acre of property, with an unbelievable, and unobstructed, ocean views from every room in the house, and the sunset view over the Pacific Ocean is different every day, and there is plenty of space to wander and explore.
It is centrally located between Crescent City, California, and Brookings, Oregon, where the Smith River meets the Pacific Ocean.
There are old growth redwood groves within a 10 minute drive of the property, and a beautiful Pacific beach extending from the Mouth of the Smith River to the Oregon Border, with easy, free parking, and access to The Beach at Smith River, just a 2 minute drive away.
Activities in the area include fishing, kayaking, and whitewater rafting on the Smith River, as well as many nearby hiking, and biking trails, to be enjoyed during your stay.
The Smith River is known to be the 3rd cleanest river system in the world, has no dams, is home to world class salmon and steelhead fishing, and you can keep your catch!
As an added bonus, The Lucky 7 Casino and Hotel is within walking distance from the property, and offers a full service bar and restaurant, and games, with a gas station, mini mart, and liquor store right across the street.
There are many great reasons to visit the beautiful Smith River area! The area has so much to offer. Come and explore!
