Amazing View, Cute House

The view of the ocean is picturesque. The outdoor space is lovely and had a nice little hot tub. The place was clean and convenient to Trinidad and not too far from Redwood.

Beautiful views!

We loved staying at this beautiful home. You can’t beat the views! It was a perfect location for us to come back to after a day of exploring tide pools or hiking in the redwoods to soak in the hot tub and listen to the waves below us. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay

Everything about this property was perfect. The attention to detail was phenomenal. We wanted for nothing. If we thought we needed something it was there for our convenience. The views were the best I have ever seen. I would definitely stay there again. We were sad to leave. It was the perfect getaway. Thank you so much

Beautiful Comfortable Relaxing .. Perfect for 2!

We love everything about this property! It's clean with gorgeous views and a comfy bed. We appreciate the walk-in shower and couldn't have been more comfortable than we were. The kitchen was well stocked as we, mostly, cooked in! This host is diligent and truly cares about his guests... we hope to visit again soon!

Beautiful View

So serene. Just a couple of nit picks: We wish there was an outside table, kleenex in the bathroom, and window treatments in the bedroom that blocked the morning sun a little better. And not a criticism, just an FYI: the hot tub is constantly on....heating or filtering, we don't know what.

We won't stay anywhere else!

I usually write a long review about the amazing ocean views and how lovely it is to unwind in their hot tub overlooking the Pacific with a glass of wine after an afternoon of hiking. But I'll just leave it at this: This was our 7th stay in 8 years. We wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else!

Great location and amazing view. Would stay there again and recommend to others. And very close to Trinidad which is best small town in the area. We were hiking in Redwood National Park so this location was perfect
