This unique, family-friendly coastal gem is perfect for nature enthusiasts, history lovers, and anyone in need of a breath of fresh ocean air.

Relaxing getaway

From the location to the amenities, this place was perfect for our getaway. There was plenty of space for the 6 of us to sleep, watch TV or help in the kitchen. The couches in the living room were very comfortable and the beds were good too. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again when in the area.

Fell in love with NorCal

This was our first time visiting Northern California and absolutely fell in love with the area. The house is perfectly located and allowed easy access to Trinidad and north of there to see the redwoods as well as Eureka. It has all the amenities we needed, including comfortable beds, good WiFi, kitchen utensils, as well as a gorgeous view of the coastline. We will def be back!

Great views in a comfortable setting

The property was very comfortable, cozy. Perfect location for us to explore the area. That said, we recommend that the directions/guidebook left in the property be updated to include directions on how to use (or not) the fireplaces, and the heating systems (we had to call to get the updates).Overall, very pleased!

Great, comfortable stay

Lovely view, quiet, clean and comfortable! Very nice beds and super clean. Quaint and cozy with a family/cottage feel. Wish we'd stayed longer to enjoy Trinidad and more beaches. Bring your own firewood and be prepared for spotty wifi.

Perfect location!

We could not have chosen a better location for our family of 5 to enjoy both the Redwoods and the gorgeous California coastline! We spent two days exploring Redwood National Park and loved our easy access to several beaches where we treasure hunted in tide pools for starfish and other marine life. Sunset from this property is breathtaking!

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
The place is not clean or well kept. No extra toilet paper except for the small half used rolls that were on there. Bedding wasn’t clean, cobwebs throughout and the shower head downstairs needs replacing as the water barely comes out. The property is a pretty place but is isn’t beachfront that is usable. This would not be a safe place for a family with young children. It was private and not really walkable to Trinidad which should be noted. I thought this was walkable to the shops/restaurants. If it were clean I would have felt very different. The heater works well downstairs but it is cold upstairs. They also need a coffee bean grinder. This definitely isn’t worth over 500 per night.
