Gorgeous! Just gorgeous! I could sit on the patio and joyously watch the seals for the rest of time. I didn’t anticipate the overtly lovely view. Or seals!! The beach is a great one for exploration. The beds and linens are very comfortable. Thanks to a generous host, we had everything we needed and more. Thank you. We are very grateful we got to enjoy this home while exploring the redwoods and coast. Thank you. Guests. Be sure and pack your salmon fishing items. Although, it’s still enjoyable watching others catch salmon from the patio.

Great time, the place was awesome! Quiet neighborhood, right on the water. Watching all the seals and bird life was great! Comfy bed, has everything you need, hot tub while watching the waves was the best. Great deck deck and many fire pits to suite your mood. Will come back for sure.

The view!! We were awed from the minute we stepped out on the deck. Watching the seals and waves was a highlight of our way too short stay. It was an easy access from the parking lot next door to walk down to the beach. We did pick up steelhead from a seafood market in Brookings to grill for dinner. The view is too wonderful to go out to dinner. The home is so comfortable and well appointed it makes you want to stay. Thankful for the opportunity to stay here. It completely exceeds expectations. Grateful!

Beautiful beachy house with all the cozy amenities! We had a wonderful time and the cottage is gorgeously decorated with lots of hangout spots inside and out. The sparkling clean hot tub at night was so relaxing and coffee on the deck and fire pit made for prime wildlife viewing. We saw eagles, seals, pelicans and even an adorable sea otter noodling around in the water. Easy walk down to the water too. Plenty of cozy blankets and fun games to play as well. We will be back!

This is a fabulous place to come and relax and unwind. The view is spectacular, the seals and birds in abundance an on going movie from the wrap around deck. Very private, very quiet. Clean and comfortable with a lovely workable kitchen!

Never wanted to leave

This place is truly amazing. There is a lot to see and do in this area of northern CA, but we had a hard time leaving the back deck of the property. The views of the ocean, seals, river otters, bald eagles, egrets, and pelicans were captivating. This VRBO could be a destination all by itself.

Return visit just as pleasant

We were last here in October. This time, besides all the birds, we got to watch baby seals on the island across from the house. It is a lovely, calming home that is very well maintained.

Million dollar view!

This property is a gem! The view alone is amazing and unique. The house is tastefully decorated with many thoughtful touches such as coffee, snacks and sparkling water. Three Smart TV’s, a great hot tub and two decks to take in the views made this a great romantic getaway.

Perfect location

Breathtaking vistas! New rental so everything clean and fresh. An abundance of nice touches that you don’t always get with VRBO’s. Very attentive but not intrusive hosts. Lots of wildlife to observe right from the deck. No need to go anywhere else. Expansive, uncrouded beach right out the door, especially at low tide! Bring an SUV so you can load up on great driftwood!

Excellent Escape

This was a wonderfully clean and updated house that had all the amenities and comforts of home for me. It is in the perfect location at the mouth of the Smith River which is teaming with wildlife. The beautiful windows, deck and outdoor spaces make you feel immersed in nature. It was a wonderful place and the hosts are very responsive and have paid attention to all the little details that make it comfortable and cozy; towels, paper consumables, coffee and tea, all manner of cleaning products, and clean pillows and throw blankets, etc. It was the perfect escape, thank you! If I make it back to Smith River I will plan to stay here again.

Amazing Views

We only stayed for 3 nights and wish it was 30. The house is smaller, but just fine for a family of 4 and the views are breath taking. The check-in/check-out process was easy and the hosts/property managers were very responsive. The house has all essentials and is clean for an older property. When you are sitting out on the porch or soaking in the hot tub, it feels like you have your own private beach with wildlife everywhere. It is also close to everything from the amazing redwoods, to river rafting or kayaking, hiking, biking, eating, or anything else you would want or need. Or, just sit back and relax!

Spectacular views and lovely house

The views were terrific and we watched the seals and birds on the small island area across from the front windows. The house was well-appointed with everything we needed, plus some other nice touches such as coffee, hot chocolate a few snacks, etc. The extra small room off the kitchen was perfect for one of the children, although there are sleeping options in the living room as well if two bedrooms isn't enough. We were able to receive food delivery there, although the options were limited. Yet, it was enough.

Beautiful Views!

Our stay here was great. The house is immaculately clean. The views from the deck, living room and main bedroom are just absolutely incredible. 100% worth every penny spent. They had a great supply of utensils, plates, cups and cookware. Couches are comfortable and again, very clean. The furniture feels like someone put thought and effort into it, you can tell it is well built. We have stayed at other rentals that just don’t have that feel like this one does, it helps it feel like a home. The deck was the best part for me. We spent hours just sitting there listening to the ocean and watching the seals. The binoculars were a fantastic touch. We will be back again.
