Infinity ocean view, while soaking in the hot tub!

Welcome to The Wind and Tide where forest meets sea. Our newly remodeled home is situated on three acres of forested cliffside overlooking the Pacific, just north of the seaside village of Trinidad. Tranquility awaits as you take a dip in the hot tub and relax by the fire pit, soaking up the sounds of sea lions, the views of migrating whales, and sunsets and stargazing galore. Tide-pooling, agate hunting, and exploring Sue-Meg State Park is just a short drive down the road.

Our home was built with views in mind – the open living room, dining room, and kitchen are designed to feature breathtaking seascapes at every turn.
The view from the dining room’s built-in window seat is perfect for curling up with a book or fueling up with breakfast before a day of adventure.
The views continue from the downstairs queen bedroom, complete with a desk and closet, and the upstairs loft with two queens and a nook perfect for reading or playing games – an assortment of books and board games are stocked for your use.
You’ll sleep soundly in the comfort of new Casper mattresses with the sounds of waves crashing from below.
The Wind and Tide has one full bathroom with plush towels and a washer and dryer available for your use at any time during your stay. The kitchen is fully equipped with a new glass stove-top, dishwasher, and fridge; it’s stocked with all the cooking utensils and kitchen tools you’ll need. Complimentary coffee and tea are provided for you, with a drip coffee machine and a French press, too. The dining room seats six and features a lovely old growth redwood table restored from the original home.
We’ve added a few more creature comforts to make you feel at home, including a remote-controlled gas fireplace, a flat screen TV (with Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+), and high-speed internet throughout the house. There’s a telescope for scouting sea stacks, watching for whales, and checking out the Milky Way if our famous Humboldt fog cooperates.
Outside is a Traeger barbeque under a covered awning and an eight-foot redwood picnic table to dine al fresco – outdoor dining with spectacular views doesn’t get any better than this!
After a day of exploring the north coast, you can unwind around the outdoor gas fire pit or take a swim in the hot tub while you soak in the beauty of all that surrounds.


You can adventure on-site, too, by taking a hike down our private beach trail to explore tide pools and hunt for agates. Please note: this is a rustic, rugged, and strenuous trail requiring shoes and the stamina to make it up and down the steep cliffside. Please use it at your own risk. For those guests ready for the challenge, it’s a beautiful hike down to a serene and private beach. Like much of our rugged coast, there is no swimming on this beach, but the views are magnificent - be sure to keep an eye out for agates on the shore and sea lions in the distance.

Note- We are currently having issues with our indoor gas fire place and waiting for a part to arrive before it will work again. Thank you for your understanding and patience. The house is heated by central heat and this is more for looks than an actual heat source. *

The entire house is yours to enjoy during your stay.

Our home is located just a few minutes from Sue-Meg State Park. We are located a short drive to all the beautiful beaches that Trinidad has to offer. A 20 minute drive to Ladybird Johnson Grove, one of the most incredible redwood forests in the world. A 5 minute drive to the town of Trinidad, where there is multiple restaurants, a supermarket, gas station and multiple shops to explore. Trinidad is known for its sea kayaking, whale watching, fishing, surfing, good eats and breath taking hikes along our beautiful coast line.

The Wind and Tide is located 15 minutes from the Arcata-Eureka/Humboldt County Airport. Getting around in rural Humboldt is easiest with a vehicle. Humboldt is renowned for natural forest, river, and ocean spaces, offering a multitude of hiking and outdoor sport activities. Humboldt also offers a plentiful dining scene with coastal cuisine and locally grown fare peppered throughout the county.
Here are a few of our favorites:
Sue-Meg State Park – located just minutes away from the house, with forest and ocean vistas, hiking, and native-run interpretive trails featuring a traditional Yurok village dwelling. Wedding Rock and Agate Beach are popular stops at this park.
Redwood National and State Parks/Prairie Creek State Park – located 25 minutes north of the house lie stunning and ancient redwood giants. Famed Fern Canyon and Gold Bluffs Beach (advance permit required through the Parks Service) are sought-after destinations from travelers all over the world. Visit the big named trees – like Corkscrew Tree and Big Tree – as you walk among the old growth. Ladybird Johnson and Redwood Creek trails are great for beginners.
Trees of Mystery – located 45 minutes north in Klamath, just past the Humboldt County line, is a favorite spot for kids on the north coast. An amusement park of sorts with giant redwoods, a native museum, treetop gondolas to ride in, and a skywalk to get up close and personal with the redwood canopy.
Avenue of the Giants – located 70 minutes to the south, is a world-famous stretch of highway winding along the Eel River with old growth redwoods throughout. This avenue is a tree-lover’s dream, boasting the world record for forested standing biomass, pristine cerulean swimming holes, and more trails than you could explore in a lifetime.
Larrupin’ and Moonstone Grill – Trinidad has two upscale dining options close to the house, both offering a unique taste of Humboldt’s vibe and local seasonal ingredients.
Moonstone Crossing – Trinidad’s local winery with daily tastings available.
Headie’s Pizza and Pour – a local spot to grab a slice of gourmet pizza and a beer before taking a walk through town for shopping and souvenirs or down to Trinidad State Beach to check out the lighthouse and the pier.
Lighthouse Grill – famous for their savory cornbread waffle cones with mashed potatoes and brisket, homemade ice-cream, and all-around delicious fare.
Murphy’s Market – Trinidad’s locally-owned grocery, convenient for stocking the fridge with everything you need to cook at your home away from home.
