"The panoramic view of the ocean with whale rock and an absolutely amazing sunset made the price worth it to me all by itself. This place was easy to get to, comfortable, situated close to so many places - Trinidad with several great beaches, like Luffenholtz. Redwoods close by, Sue Meg, Arcata for thriftshops, and Eureka for Victorian architecture, perfect weather every day. Communication was easy, the place was clean. I may not recommend staying there with small kids possibly since you're high above the ocean with no fence. That was not an issue for us. It was perfect and we hope to go back soon."
🌊Ocean View Village Condo with Outdoor Sauna, Trails to Fun Beaches & Covered Deck🩴
10/10 Excellent
"What a gorgeous and special place. We literally gasped when we saw the view of the bay and ocean from this apartment. The couch was incredibly comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the bedrooms were spacious, and the yard was full of blooming flowers and happy birds. Trinidad is a very walkable community and this was the perfect home base right nextdoor to a great local restaurant too. The hosts were so accommodating and made sure we were able to get in ok and had everything we needed. The sauna was a big perk too. We didn't want to leave! I highly recommend this stay to others looking to relax in a quiet and peaceful seaside town."
"One of our favorite places we have stayed on our drive ip the coast from California to Oregon. Cute cabins in a great location. We could hear the sea lions barking early mornings. Short drive to Trinidad and the State Park. Can not recommend it enough!"
"The Schoolhouse Inn is immaculate! Would love to spend more time here. The modern, clean design and decor choices gave a meditative air to the space. It felt like being inside a magazine or catalog. Everything you could want to have a relaxing time is there…an escape from clutter and distractions of home."
Redwoods National Park - Stone Lagoon Cabin, Beaches & Lagoons
10/10 Excellent
"The cabin is gorgeous! It has a full kitchen that’s fully stocked with everything you would need. The location is quiet and beautiful; super convenient to hiking, beaches, national parks, and surrounding towns. The owner is very kind! All around a fantastic experience."
"This was a wonderful place to stay and I totally recommend it for couples. Things were a bit tight with three adults. The tub has a high clearance, so if there are mobility issues, take note. Very quite neighborhood, super convenient to the beach, hiking and parks, great communication with hosts, and I can't say it enough; it was just a charming little cottage. : ) We would stay again if we travel that direction."
🌲🩴 Your own lodge in town yet private & spacious with game room & hot tub - Trail to Beach
10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay! Beautiful location with walkable places to eat and a grocery store nearby. We loved the layout of the house that offered lots of space and places to relax inside and outside. The path to the beach is fun! It would be difficult for someone with joint issues (but my 81 year old dad managed!) Once you are at the beach it’s a gorgeous location. Very secluded and full of rocks and of course there are seals! I would stay there again and hope to someday soon."
Crabber's Cottage - Walk to Beach, In Town, Comfortable
10/10 Excellent
"Trinidad is the best little town right in a beautiful harbor full of boats. Rental is right in town next to a little winery and art gallery. The winery and gallery has live music which made a beautiful ambiance."
