Steps to the ocean!!

It was a great place and very close too ocean and Redwood National park hikes!

We liked the location of the house. was very clean I would stay again!

The House is very clean and has some things that make it enjoyable, such as the game room and a pet well supplied kitchen. Checkin required my contacting the host, rather than her reaching out with info for me, a few times until I got through to her by phone call, so that was different than most VRBO experiences. She said the site must not have been working. The house does not have a beach view, but you can see some slivers of ocean in the distance out the windows. I was looking for true oceanfront, so that was disappointing. It rained while we were in Crescent City, and my daughter and I enjoyed a day in the house. It was a quiet and safe location. Just don’t expect to see the ocean out your window or from the porch. It’s a great place to stay for access to the redwoods.

Location - we knew we wanted to stay in Crescent City in order to visit the redwoods. The location ended up great for that. The description says Steps to the Ocean. That is actually accurate, however, misleading. It’s about a 5 minute walk to access the ocean which was fine for us. Communication - the VRBO reservation says Host will give check-in information the day before the stay. We did not receive check in information the day before. I sent a message the morning of our check in asking. I also called the number on the listing. The voicemail said to text for quicker response. I finally received check in information through VRBO messages right at check in time. The home does have a/c, however, it is programmed in such a way that it never kicked on and the air was stagnant. The outside temperature and inside were the same so adjusting the temperature did not make it turn on. Communication - of any VRBO I have had it was hardest to get in touch with and get a response from this host. I reached out because there was no way to turn on the ceiling fan in the primary bedroom. It seemed like a remote was missing. I also wanted to let the host know that the sink in the primary bathroom barely drains. If we washed hands it would take 15 minutes to drain enough to use the sink again. There are pluses to this property. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean and prepped. Soaps and laundry detergent were appreciated. Check out process was easy too.
