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.

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.

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!

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.

Cozy pleasant stay near the ocean

The house was very clean, very comfortable and very cozy. The backyard was very lovely with a very comfortable back porch. My stay was quiet and very enjoyable. The kitchen was really well equipped. That was a bonus for me as I had my two grandsons there every evening for dinner along with my son. I would love to stay again if the opportunity presents itself.

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 Last minute stay

My wife and I made a last minute decision to stay in Crescent City while traveling up the California coast. Eurlene responded very quickly to our initial email and we were able to make the arrangement just two days before arrival. Then we changed our minds and decided to arrive a day earlier and she was able to handle that as well. The house was clean and well maintained and was nicely furnished. It is just steps from the ocean. We took our chairs and walked down to watch for whales - didn't see any - and watched the sun set. It was a great setting. It was just a short drive to the redwoods and we did some hiking there. It was nice to come "home" after the walking we did. Also we walked to the tidepools and enjoyed looking at the creatures there. We really enjoyed our stay there and found everything we needed. We'll stay there again if we are in the 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 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.

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.
