About this property

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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!
