Oceanfront Bluff Home - Whale Watching, Redwoods, Wood Stove & Pet Friendly

Welcome to Sunset Sanctuary — a coastal retreat designed to calm the mind and recharge the spirit. Perched above the Pacific on the Crescent City bluffs, this is a place where the ocean is never out of sight or earshot.

Light a fire in the wood stove, pour something warm, and watch the sun melt into the sea from the deck. Gray Whales migrate past seasonally, and Pilot Whales cruise these waters year-round — keep your eyes on the horizon.

Beach access is just a block away, where a short walk leads down to Preston Island — a dramatic rocky shoreline with sandy stretches perfect for a stroll with your pet (who we’re always happy to welcome). For swimming and surfing, Crescent Beach is a easy 5-minute drive.

The old-growth redwoods of Jedediah Smith are 30 minutes inland. The harbor, restaurants, coffee, and everything else you’ll need are within 10 minutes. And when the day is done, the wood stove, the sound of the waves, and a sky full of stars will be waiting for you.

One more thing — you’ll notice a vintage Airstream parked on the property. She’s stationary and being lovingly restored as an optional guest add-on launching Autumn 2026. Something special is coming.

We absolutely loved this gem of a home! It was super clean, well stocked with anything and everything we needed, Shawn was very responsive and helpful. And THE VIEWS! Mornings and sunsets on the back porch were my favorite part. Easy access to all the beauty of the Redwoods. We didn’t want to leave and would love to come back someday.

The pictures don't do this place justice. The oceanfront setting is stunning — you're right on the bluff, and we could watch the waves without leaving the house. The home itself has a warm, character-filled vibe that's hard to find in rentals anymore. The record player was an unexpected highlight; putting on an album and watching the sunset set the whole tone for our stay. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as advertised — just better. Great location too, with Pebble Beach a minute away and the redwoods close by. We'd absolutely stay again and are going tell all of our friends.
