Highly recommend if you have dogs! Large, fully fenced backyard. Location is great; very close to the coast, with beautiful views from the second floor. The home is clean, however we rated that 4 stars because was a small ant problem during our stay. We would have appreciated the host letting us know ahead of time that there would be lawn care persons showing up to mow the lawn; we prioritize privacy during our stays but would not mind this if we had known.We appreciated the binder with information for our stay, and especially all the reading material about the area :) Overall a great stay!

Excellent dog-friendly place close to the beach!
We chose this place because it was dog-friendly and has a very nice fully-fenced back yard for large dogs, which can be hard to find! The house itself was very clean and very cozy. The kitchen was well-stocked and we also really enjoyed having a washer and dryer in the bathroom upstairs. It has lovely views of the ocean and is within walking distance of Pebble Beach. I gave it 4 stars overall instead of 5 only because the bed was a little uncomfortable, we would have liked a softer king-sized bed rather than a very firm queen, but it was doable and we still slept pretty well. Overall we loved it and would definitely stay here again!

Great spacious home right on the coast
I came here for the new years holiday in 2024 and again for the same holiday 2025 and I love this home it’s so cozy and spacious and it was even better that they added a tv in the bedroom. The host was quick to respond and the house and kitchen was fully equipped to make mine and my boyfriends stay as smooth as possible. I hope this listing stays up because I would love to come back again

Lovely Place to Stay
This house served as home base for our week's vacation on the coast. It was clean and fresh smelling, and there were no needs unmet.
We cooked at home nearly every night in the well stocked kitchen. The yard was wonderfully large and secure for our dogs. The location was just wonderful, and you can easily see the ocean from the upstairs.
I put 4 stars for overall rating due to the bed being old and needing to be replaced; it was my only complaint.
I would definitely rent this house again!

Perfect spot
This is a lovely well appointed little house. We cooked all week and had all the necessary utensils and even spices needed. The yard was perfect for our two pups and we could walk to the beach in a few minutes. Crescent City was a pleasant surprise. Having a nice home to return to after a dat out and about was a huge plus. We will stay here again!

Cute beach house
We loved staying at this cute house that was about a block from the beach. It was nice to be able to enjoy this place with our dog and have a backyard too which was a huge plus. Everything was clean and in working order. I'd definitely recommend staying here over a hotel any day! Thank you so much :)

The coziest vacation rental!
This rental was wonderful! It is so comfy and cozy I could easily live in it year round. The proximity to the beach was perfect: very easy walk. The back yard was great for the dogs. The little oil stove in the livingroom was perfect on those rainy mornings. I would highly recommend this property!

Great time
Over all the stay was very nice. Good time of year to be there as the whales come thru on their migration and you can stand on the cliff above the beach to watch them. It’s a great little house roomier than you would think. I agree the TV could be larger n one upstairs a plus. Didn’t care for the padded toilet seats. The house had all we needed to stay and very much appreciated the washer n dryer. We had a wonderful 2week stay.
