Peaceful, Relaxing and Beautiful views
We had a wonderful time and were able to totally relax. This home was one of the best equipped homes we have been in with all the amenities you could ask for and more. The home was spacious and the outdoor space was great. The outdoor shower with heated water was a great bonus after spending time at the beach. We can't wait to go bak again.

Great time had by all
Accessing the beach was easy and we took advantage. Beds were good, plenty of blankets etc. Bathroom and kitchen well stocked. Plenty of games, tv, faux fire.. all rounded out to a good time. Our only issue was the freezer leak into the refrigerator, we had to shuffle food and put a bowl in to catch it. That was no fun! We would recommend this place to others!

Cozy and great location
I live In Oregon and my family lives in CA. This was a perfect in between place for us to meet for a long weekend beach trip. The location was perfect and private and they make sure to provide lots of blankets and heaters which kept it nice and cozy. The first couple of nights on the fold out bed were rough but then we realized later that there was a mattress topper for it and then it was all good! It was hidden under another bed so just make sure to look for it if you’re going to sleep on that. There’s also TVs in every room which is nice! Would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous Beachhouse
I am tempted to give this house a really bad review so no one else will book it and we can come when ever we want. The truth is it was fabulous. It was perfect for our family of five. We loved the layout of the house, loved the huge windows and natural light, absolutely loved the outside shower. It was the perfect place to relax. We loved the trail to the beach and the beach itself. My kids say the only thing that would make it better is if they had boogie boards in the garage with the other beach gear. But we found a place that rents kayaks and other stuff a couple of miles south. The beds were comfy and the water pressure for showers was excellent. We will definitely come back here!

Had a little trouble finding the turn off from the highway, and bit of a musty smell, but we had great weather and opened up the windows so enjoyed our stay, quite a little hike to the beach but way worth it!! Thanks for letting us stay.

Absolutely incredible! :)
My friends and I had an wonderful stay here during a long weekend roadtrip to see the Redwoods. The house is located just off the I5 but is still very conveniently near two Redwood state parks and to Crescent City (Try the Good Harvest for some delicious food! We went for brunch and dinner!). Private access to a quiet and majestic stretch of beach. We were so lucky; one of the evenings, the sky was so clear and was absolutely filled with stars! The house is decorated with an ocean/mermaid theme and comes with an adorable treehouse. The beds are comfy and the place was spotless. Check-in through Vacasa (the property management company that runs the place) was easy; instructions for everything were simple to follow. Wish we could have stayed longer. P.S. The only minor hiccup was that, if you book with them through VRBO, take note that the house is managed by Vacasa rentals. We tried to contact the property owner through VRBO but they did not respond; I am assuming this is because they typically only check the Vacasa app instead. All in all - great place! You won't regret staying here :)

Adorable beach cottage with awesome beach access
The online description was accurate. This location is super perfect with a great access to an awesome beach. The cottage is adorable and was stacked with all the amenities that we needed. We had plenty of room for the seven of us. I think the only thing I would change is having fluffier pillows but that's just a personal preference!

Charming beach house, lots of amenities
Very smooth process. Charming little home close to the beach with a partial ocean view. Well stocked. Lots of linens, activities, consumable paper products... A little dated but adequate. Darling yard and landscape full of hydrangeas. Only about 30 steps on the staircase to the beach. GREAT beach! Hardly anyone was there. We loved the outdoor shower and generous seating on the deck. We loved our time here. We will for sure consider renting here again. (2 notes. The house was a little musty. I think replacing the carpet with hard flooring would be a great help. Also, we placed a tub of water and an old towel by the rear outside door for Sandy feet rinsing before entering the home.)
