Redwood trip

The location of the house was beautiful, the accomodations were just what we needed for our stay, had everything we needed-even got to take a trip back in memory lane, which was awesome! Watched Jurassic Park on VHS! Loved it! We really enjoyed our stay! Would stay there again!

Wonderful place!

What a magical place! The view from the back deck is one of the best I've ever seen in my life. House was very clean and comfortable. We hiked every day in the Redwood National Park and the park is only a short drive from the house. Would definitely recommend highly, and we hope to go back!

Spectacular Views!

The highlight of the property is the stunning view of the ocean. The location is great (near town, groceries, restaurants, beach, etc). And a great launching point for hiking. I would suggest considering replacing the carpets for hard floors, since pets are allowed, there's a scent on the carpet. Otherwise, the property is phenomenal.

Great location but the house is so-so

I give the property location and views a 10 out of 10. Unfortunately, the house itself is far from great. It seems that the house, bathrooms, kitchen, and furnishings haven't been updated in a very long time. The windows were dirty and detracted from the lovely views. I would be okay with the house if it was at a lower price point but at these prices I would hope for a little more care to be put into the place.

Fab View, Fab Place, Fun Times

I had read other reviews that this property had a great view, but it really was Amazing with a capital A. Fabulous deck to enjoy incredible sunsets and prepare great bbq dinners. House layout worked really well - 3 bedrooms for the 6 of us though there are 2 other spaces (loft) and pull out coach where 2 more people could sleep. We hiked down to Baker Beach about 1/4 mile below the property which was fun. The local town in Trinidad was fun with great restaurants, and lots of beaches, and places to rent kayaks. Also want to add in the backyard of the property facing the beach there is a picnic table which is a wonderful space to have your meals outside. Living area space worked great as did kitchen. All in all - Fab view, Fab Place, Fun times.

Beautiful views of Trinidad Bay & Coastline, none better . Enjoyed by comfortable, clean , safe, house with a large back yard. Older home at very reasonable rental charge, well-equipped with everything you need , & everything works The host property manager Hope M. was excellent, friendly, helpful , & very responsive . The location was private,secluded, & close to the beach that you can hear the lovely surf. Everything was close by as well .

Spectacular view

The location was amazing, and everything was better than we expected. Our group even said it was nicer than the photos. Easy access to the national park, incredible view (when it's clear & sunny), private/secluded location, great for dogs to run around in the yard, very effective heating. Yes, the house looks like something out of the 70s or 80s and the furniture is dated, but overall the house is in good shape and well-equipped (we were able to cook breakfast & grill dinner for 5 without issue). My only complaint is: the amount of time I had to spend before check-in to sign contracts, get the charges right, read a myriad of emails, confirm the code, etc was *a lot* for ~40 hours in the house.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of four, along with our dog, loved everything about this vacation rental. We have stayed in three other rental homes in Trinidad. All of them were wonderful, but this location, by far, is our favorite. The views are indescribable. The home was clean, comfortable and well stocked with what we needed for a great week. The home was tucked away from the others in the neighborhood, which provided the peacefulness we were looking for. We will be back!

Great location, layout and price carpet needed cleaning.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Terrific home. Carpets need cleaning and deodorizing. I manage 30 rentals and a small real estate office. This home was spotless accept for major pet stains. If the owner is unwilling to replace carpets at least clean them and use Odoban to kill the bacteria causing smells. It's a simple thing. We do not travel with our pets but those that do should pay to keep the asset clean and in good shape.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was everything we expected, as we stayed there last year too. My only complaint is that the twin beds were very uncomfortable--they really should be replaced. The day we locked ourselves out of the house, we tried to drive to the office to get another key, only to find out there really isn't an actual location. That made our wait to be let back into the house take over an hour, and we had a tired toddler needing a nap at that time. Another issue is that we noticed that on the website the price for that house had been reduced . . . and since we had booked a few months ago, we paid a higher price. That did not seem fair to us. Overall, we had a nice stay. Thank you for asking. Lyn Edick

Fabulous view, but obstructed.

The main draw of this property is the view. It is admittedly gorgeous, very wide and mostly unobstructed, at least not by trees or houses. However, if you sit on the deck, there is a thick wood railing exactly at eye level, obstructing the view. You must stand up or bend down to see an unobstructed view. This was disappointing, because the photos in the listing do not show or admit to this. The railing is probably required by code, but the owner could resolve it by providing bar height table and chairs. The view is better from the back yard, but there is no lawn furniture there, except a straight backed uncomfortable wooden bench. The interior of the house is okay, but very outdated, (around 1970's I think) with carpet throughout, some of it with stains. The shower downstairs is horrible. It sprays out at a defined angle and cannot be adjusted. If you are an average height woman it sprays directly in your face and the stall is so tiny there is no place to get under it without that happening. For the price paid, you would think the owners could make just a few small adjustments for visitors' comfort. Add barstools and lawn furniture, get rid of the carpet or at least clean it, put in a new shower head. Also, the part of the listing that says there is a beach a 1/4 mile walk away is somewhat misleading. We asked how to get there and were told it is unmarked and is a steep slope down, and that other beaches in the area were recommended as being better. We appreciate the honesty at that time, but the listing should not imply there is a nice beach and easy walk away. The property managers were very nice and responsive to questions, and we do appreciate that honesty when asked.

Redwood National Park Visit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We immensely enjoyed our stay at Sunset Knoll! It was very clean and well stocked with kitchen needs, linens, and towels. I read reviews with complaints about mold/mildew. We did not have any mold or mildew. We only used the bedroom upstairs, and the bed was comfortable. The managers were quick to respond, professional, and very friendly. The view was SPECTACULAR! The pictures do not give it justice. The yard is secluded. A scenic narrow paved road that turns into a dirt road runs along the coast from Trinidad to the drive for the neighborhood. We could not see the other houses from Sunset Knoll. I had read there was a steep path to the beach from the house. The path was overgrown and obviously unused for a very long time. Trinidad had great restaurants that were reasonably priced. Restaurants and groceries were a short drive from the house. This was a perfect home base. We hiked at the National Park daily. Places closer to the park were run down and other nice places were further away than Trinidad. Please note, the house is not updated with furniture and decor; it is clean and comfortable. My 1 complaint is the recliner beside the picture window in the living space is quite uncomfortable. I looked forward to sitting there to read or take in the view. I couldn't sit in the chair because it was so old it made my back hurt. I am a fairly young healthy person without back problems! I gave a 4 out of 5 because the chair needs replaced and the furniture updated. Our visit was June 28, 2022 - July 1, 2022.

Views! Space! Plan Ahead for Coffee Shops

I did not think the online photos did the property justice. The space was roomier than I expected. There are views from every single window. The easy chair was comfortable, but noisy getting in and out of. Moonstone Grill is a must for dining! The town of Trinidad is quaint, adorable, and has many local artists! It's definitely a VRBO to bring my family back to in the future. Down side: It was not just in Trinidad, but almost every coffee shop we went to in northern California closed by 4:00 to 5:00. If I was late getting coffee for my afternoon crash, I was SOL. =D

View to die for.

What a great stay! Exactly as described and even better. I'm almost afraid to say how much we loved the property in fear that it will always be rented. (Haha). Great bed nice towels and plenty of storage space. I wish we could have stayed longer. My dogs were in Heven to be able to go with us. Can't wait till next year. Thank you.
