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!

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.
