Slice of the 70s
Adorable house, straight out of the 70s with the decor and build. Plenty of space before the next property so it was quite and private. Quick walk to the ocean, quick drive to town. On clear nights it was wonderful to just lay out a blanket and watch the stars.

Memorable
First, I must say that I fell ill and was unable to join my family. Jean's directions for locating the property were spot on, with family coming from Washington and Oregon having no problem locating it. Everyone was impressed with the ambiance of the house. It was beautifully arranged and well-stocked. They enjoyed the beach immensley and my great=grandson had an amazing time flying his kite. This get-together was to honor my eldest daughter's untimely passing. Thank you, Jean, for sharing your lovely home. I wish I could have been there.

Our stay in Jean's house was a pleasant one. Jean is very accommodating. The home is quaint and comfortable. It was the perfect place for two families. We love all the memories that is within this home, made us want to cherish our family and time with each other more. We would definitely come back again.

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!

Perfect getaway
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.

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!

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!
