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.

This home is nice. There was 9 of us and we were comfortable. We were here during the early spring time was we couldn’t use the yard much. The view needs to be worked on. There are tree branches in the way.

California Dreaming

The house is exactly as described. Felt "homey" the second we walked in. Very clean and obviously loved by the owners of the house. Sitting in the backyard with a glorious view of the ocean from three different perspectives was a dream. Loved eating the fresh blackberries and watching the California quails. Would 100% stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

I’m the location is great with a wonderful view of the ocean. However, this is an older home in a woodsy area so I wouldn’t pick this spot if you are squeamish about flies and spiders. If you don’t mind that, then go for it.

Seaside Location is everything.

This home is located in a wonderful location - about equal distances to the north and south portions of the Redwood Parks. The outdoor pictures can't do the location justice. As for the home itself, while adequate, this property is dated and could use some TLC. Those who are looking for a "rustic" or "quaint" experience will find something akin to the rustic cabin like accommodations in the parks, rather than a well appointed home or hotel.

Review of area

We were not super familiar with the area as this was our first time. I was surprised that many of the surrounding towns didn’t feel touristy. The town of Trinidad is absolutely adorable however and a perfect tourist destination. This house is nearby (though you have to drive). This location has a unique farm/coastal vibe as it is an old farmhouse located on the waters bluff. The house is old but has character.

Great Place to Stay

What a fun, welcoming, and amazing house, I'd love to know the history of the property, house, and furnishings. It was extremely comfortable for the 4 of us, had every amenity possible, and the kitchen supplies were beyond amazing-every single thing you might ever need to make a snack or a gourmet meal for 20! Cleanliness was superior, very appreciated and more difficult to maintain in a older house. We all loved the property and the house itself was a standout-intriguing, amusing, comfortable, welcoming, spacious, fascinating and one of the best places we've ever stayed. Not a run of the mill, cookie cutter type of rental, this place had personality, soul, and comfort and suited us perfectly. A gem of a place and I can't recommend it highly enough, we loved it!

Beautiful location and charming house

We had a great stay and were happy with the location and condition of the house. The view is incredible both to the north and south, and the lawn area was amazing for my toddler to run around. Each room was equally charming and while there were a few quirks, they seemed normal considering the age of the house and location and climate of Trinidad. Linens/towels were very clean and neat. Kitchen was well stocked and with newer appliances. I texted a few times with the local manager and they were very responsive and accommodating, which I appreciate. At the end of our visit several of my family members mentioned wanting to find a reason to visit Trinidad again, just to stay there again. I would definitely rent it again too.

Great House

Hi! The house and location were perfect. I was worried about mold, as a reviewer from about a year ago mentioned this was a problem. I'm very, very allergic. But there was no mold. I'd have known. The house was very clean. A great place to stay. Very comfortable. There's a direct path to the beach down along the cul de sac. We were three adults and three kids and it was ideal.

Hiking trip before sons jr year at college

Loved the bluff overlooking the ocean - was outside by the fence watching surfers on one side and quaint bay on the other. House was quaint and comfortable cottage style home. Kitchen was very well stocked. I made muffins for the hungry hikers and cooked a few meals with everything there that was needed. A little remotely located but could easily drive to beach or town. Access to national park close by. The tide pools at nearby beach was a favorite spot and the sea glass we found there in the gravels. Hikes in the redwoods by day and beach at sunset. Really nice unexpected trip with my son and his college roommates before they went back to start their junior year at Colorado State. Trinidad Pier was stunning - saw an otter and sea lion

Beautiful, Imaculate, but Thumbs Down for VaCasa Prop Mgmt

Lovely location & lovely 4 BR home. We booked for just 2 nights. But without an earlier checkin (especially in winter), I'd go elsewhere for a future 2 night stay. I could tell by the calendar, the home was vacant prior to our arrival. So it seems like a checkin earlier than 4pm should have permissible. But this property uses a corp prop mgr named "Vacasa" Well, I found it impossible to reach someone of authority. When I tried to "contact the owner" about an early check in, I received an automated reply from Vacasa saying that I'd be notified by email on arrival day if an early checkin was possible. No permission was received, so we arrived at 4:15pm to a home that was 56 degrees. All other rentals I've stated at had some sort of "welcome" binder with operating instructions. This home only had a laminated card on what to do for checkout. So I had to figure out how to start the two furnaces. One was pretty easy, the other required some programming. The fireplace had one giant log with no kindling or fire starter. The power cord for the fireplace fan was too short to reach the outlet. The outside firepit had no firewood. None of these complaints would be an issue for a longer stays. But we didn't know the area, at 4:30pm on a Fri is not an ideal time to go hunting for firewood. I called the 3 numbers I had for Vacasa. VM for 2 of them, the person that answered the 3rd call was unable to help. I would come again for a longer stay. Pretty views
