Your intimate, charming cottage within view of the ocean and just a block from the shore awaits your leisure. Located in the northwest corner of California, only 20 minutes from Oregon, you’ll find such wonders as Trees of Mystery, jetboat trips on the Rogue or Klamath River, Redwood National and State Parks, or Fern Canyon within a half day or less travel.
Closer to home is the quiet majesty of the Redwoods, awe inspiring splendor of rugged Pacific shoreline broken by miles of spectacular beaches, as well as a multitude of opportunities for both water and land sports and activities.
The owner, a retired Special Education teacher, wanted for many years to live on this beautiful coast and at retirement, made the move.
Seaside Cottage is an immaculate, fully furnished home away from home.The romantically furnished bedroom has a queen size Englander mattress, topped with a feather and down mattress, covered with a nautical design bedspread. For an extra one or two persons, the living room couch folds out into a queen size bed with extra thick mattress for a good night’s sleep.
On awakening in the morning, enjoy your own loaf of Blue Ribbon winner Apple/Zucchini bread, juice, and freshly roasted and ground coffee, while watching the blue Pacific from your sunporch or living room.
Seaside Cottage welcomes adults and well-behaved children.Pets may be accepted. Please ask. In an effort to keep the premises immaculate for guests, no smoking is permitted on the premises. Non-smokers only, please.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Crescent City
In 1994, while on a visit to Crescent City, I spotted this location and bought it immediately. We had been visitors to the Oregon Coast for a number of years, but by 1994, I was already living in a nearby small coastal village. I am an outdoor person and this area is spectacular for an outdoor enthusiast. Having a home here was the answer to a dream of many years. At that time, the cottage was a monthly rental, which I remodeled and developed into a vacation rental in 2004. Almost without exception, I have thoroughly enjoyed my vacationing visitors ever since.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
It's my pleasure to live next door to Seaside Cottage. My dog and I, along with friends, enjoy the beaches, the breathtaking views from various sites along the coast, as well as the many trails among the Redwoods. I am always reminded of our marine environment by the sound of the fog horn, the barking of the sea lions, and the fresh sea air. Everything needed for day to day living is within a mile or so, and being a part of this small, friendly community is a joy.
There is a peace here that I feel would be hard to attain in a city environment.
Owner's Map of Crescent City
This small business of a single vacation cottage rental is a pleasure for me to operate in my retirement years. I enjoy meeting with vacationing visitors and showing them the spectacular assets of the far north coast of California. Each visiting individual or family brings their own enthusiasm with them and the visit invariably is fun for all.
I live alone here with my Border Collie, next door to the cottage, and am blessed, as I am now in my 80s, to have a son living within a few miles of me.

This is one of the nicest vacation rentals we have ever stayed at - lovely home at a very fair price. Nice homey touches from Shirley - a highly recommended rental. Trees of Mystery are loads of fun and very beautiful. We even got a private tour of the lighthouse from the keepers - very nice! Chart Room restaurant just down past the harbor is fabulous for fish 'n chips!
