If ‘beach, please’ is your holiday mantra, head over to Crescent City, California, a place for those who love nature. Located on the Pacific coast, it is named after its curved, sandy beach.

However, only go exploring after you’ve booked a comfortable accommodation for yourself. We’ve done that legwork for you, with a round-up of the best Airbnbs in Crescent City, CA.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

7. Newly renovated modern home (from USD 165)
Smell the salty air as you bask in this light-filled 1920s home. It is hard to believe that it is a century-old when it’s fitted with modern amenities such as WiFi, two Roku smart televisions, Netflix, three types of coffee makers (coffee enthusiasts, rejoice!), washer-dryer and indoor fireplace. The two-bedroom, two-bath bungalow fits six snugly, and is one of the best spots to access both the beach and Redwoods.
