Wonderful Quaint Getaway
This was a wonderful house for our large family to stay in while we visited the Brookings area. 4 bedroom, 2 bath with a bonus upstairs family room allowed each person space. The home is still proudly displaying the original decor, but is clean and quaint. Lots of amenities for the guests - high chair, easy access laundry, full pantry of cooking utensils and dishes for 12 or more, large fridge. We will stay again if given the chance!

We found it to be a perfect location. It had a wonderful view of the ocean. There was quick access to the beach, great seafood and shopping just a quick drive north to Brookings and just a short drive south to the Redwoods, Crescent city and the aquarium.

Smith River House
The house was not very clean and many places smelled of mold. We killed at least two dozen flies that kept coming into the kitchen and dining room. The layout and spaces were nice, just poorly kept up. Disappointing, given the price we paid for the property.

Thank you for a home away from home
I felt like I was back at grandma's home. We had a great time at the beach which is just a short walk across the street. It is definitely a family style home. Great view of the ocean from the upstairs living room.

Great place for a quiet family getaway
This was a great home for four nights for our group of eight (four couples). The house is described accurately in the listing, and the location was convenient to both Brookings in the north and California's redwoods to the south. The great room upstairs/ with the beach views was a great place to sit and chat or play games, and the beach was literally a few hundred yards walk. The host, Jean, was friendly and helpful, and provided information about the fires before we arrived. The home is rustic, as noted by other reviewers, but that fit perfectly with the setting. It met our needs very well, and was a good value.

Disappointed
The property is old but I was looking for size & convince. It’s a very large home, would of been great for a family get together! Unfortunately the fires cut our stay very short! The power company turned off the power to the whole town & all the attractions we were looking forward too. Although the host was informative & willing to make us coffee, We left after just one night but payed for 3. I had to find a hotel north of the home I rented so we could stay warm & eat. Sad this wasn’t the weekend we were looking for!

Great deal for Ocean views!
A wonderful space for a large group! Most cooking/baking items were available. You do have to cross the 101 when walking to the beach, but it was a short walk overall. Plenty of linens for everyone! Showers were hot and had plenty of hot water. I would stay again.

birthday trip
the place could be amazing BUT it needs a thorough clean and upgrades. It's very dated and smelled very musty - had to open all windows upon arrival - spider webs everywhere, pillows and blankets were worn and thin, comforters had some stains and owner stated she does not wash them every time. Frying pans were greasy, some plastic dishes were sticky and we were not comfortable staying there. The owner was on the property - she was not friendly and asked us to leave when we called her with concerns (her email stated to call her if we had any concerns). We actually ended up leaving and getting another home that was unfortunately not ocean side.

Amazing location in small coastal town
We absolutely loved the location and the quirkiness of the house. It has a going to grandma’s house type of feel. We were a little disappointed in the comfortableness of the beds. They are outdated and sag. We would also recommend better cleaning. There were several cobwebs and the floor/carpet hadn’t been cleaned properly. However, there was everything and more than we needed in the kitchen and it was very roomy. We especially loved the upstairs, as it was a great family room with breathtaking views of the ocean! You honestly can’t beat the price for the location! I would stay again! Thanks for having us!

Unique Costal Home
My family really enjoyed our stay here. It is in a great location for getting to all the local attraction or just lost in the woods. It is an easy walk across the road and down to the beach which was nice. The big family room upstairs was wonderful for hanging out as a family and the fireplace is just a cool thing to enjoy. The house functionally worked very well for us. The house contains a lot of art from the host and local creators. The host Jean lives next door and is very available. The biggest ditractions from the house is that it could use a deeper cleaning. The bigger one is the rather strong aroma of 70s beach house. Which we specifically look for older quirky houses when we rent so we expected it, but is was stronger than expected. After 5 minutes in the house you adjust and forget about it but will notice it on your clothes when you head home. If the host does something to help mitigate the smell we will definitely be returning here. My wife loves this area and it is a favorite vacation spot.

Annual Fishing Trip
Our family of 6 stayed here for the first time on our annual fishing trip. We loved this property, it’s like taking a step back in time. There was lots of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The great room is spectacular. It’s location is nice because it’s and handful of miles outside of Crescent City, and on a couple from Brookings Oregon. It’s quiet and the ocean it’s just across the street. We will be re-booking here annually for as long as Jean is offering up her home to folks like us. I would also like to thank Jean for coming out to greet the family, and thank you for accommodating our family.

Large home
The house was very dark when we pulled up in the evening. We told the property owner that the back bathroom was plugged. She said that there is a plunger in the closet. The toilet had poop backed up the entire time. That was gross. The house had a very bad musty smell, it must have been closed up for a long time. The house had 4 bedrooms, so would be good for large families. Also, the house was very well stocked, impressive. There was a large family room upstairs with a partial view of the ocean. We didn't really use that room, but it had a nice fireplace and lots of seating, again, great for a large family. I personally would not stay there again, but a large family looking for a no frills place to stay, it would be fine. Also, I am not plunging a toilet on my vacation, that's BS.

Great location, lots of room
First night there we saw elk in the back yard! We enjoyed the spacious house and gorgeous flowers everywhere. The ocean is right across the road. We picked blackberries and made homemade cobbler. There was only 4 of us, but room for many more. Kids would love the upstairs! We enjoyed our morning coffee from upstairs, while watching the ocean from the big windows. Very affordable compared to other places. With its location, we had many options to choose from and it was just a short drive either direction.
