About this property

Seaside cottage at Luffenholtz Beach in beautiful Trinidad, CA

Located on Trinidad Bay, this Cape Cod style guest cottage is just steps away from beautiful Luffenholtz Beach and the spectacular coastal views from Tepona Point. The scenic and rocky Trinidad coast is one of the most spectacular and pristine segments of the California coast. We invite you to experience the dramatic landscapes of Luffenholtz Beach, explore the tide pools at nearby Baker Beach, or enjoy the dramatic ocean vistas from nearby Houda Point, a popular beach for surfers, painters, and bird watchers. At the end of the day, you can relax at the creek side patio, or enjoy a glass of wine sitting in two Adirondack chairs overlooking Luffenholtz Cove and the Pacific Ocean while enjoying the sunset. Located just 2 miles north is the quaint seaside village of Trinidad, with restaurants, shops, and galleries. The Redwood Coast Airport is less than 10 minutes away. Luffenholtz Beach Cottage is very private and is surrounded by lush mature gardens. It has a queen size bed, cable TV, WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen, and a full bathroom with tub and shower. There is an outdoor deck with views of the forest and two comfortable chairs.

Relaxation, ocean waves & exploring redwoods

Property was perfect for a relaxing stay with stunning beaches "across the street" and down steep stairs. You can hear the waves from the cottage. And it's a great location for further exploring all the Humboldt coast has to offer, including Redwoods and nature refuges. Host were friendly & helpful. Cottage is a comfortable sanctuary.

The loft was lovely. It was foggy Friday night but on Saturday night the fog cleared and we were able to see the stars through the moonroof so we went outside and sat in Adirondack chairs and looked at the stars. Sunday morning before we left we took a walk through your beautiful garden is very peaceful. Thank you so much for a beautiful place to stay on the coast.

Charming little cottage next to the beach. Very peaceful and serene location. We could hear the creek and ocean waves. Great location for visiting Redwood National and State Parks and Moonstone Beach, Agate Beach and Trinidad State Beach. We were out hiking everyday. Enjoyed dinner at Moonstone Grill, just a couple minutes drive from the cottage. Loved the skylight which flooded the unit with natural light. The kitchen is small with just the basics, but it was perfectly functioning and adequate for our needs.

Luffenholtz Delight

Great location! 2miles to Trinidad and 103 steps to Luffenholtz beach. Owners are a delight and the grounds are immaculate! We divided our time between sitting in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the ocean, walking along the beach, birding and visiting historic sights in the area.

Good communication laid out the expectations. Easy check-in. Great location across the street from the beach. We very briefly lost power, but they have a back up generator, which was great!

Relaxing

This was exactly what we wanted. A beautiful few and peace and quite at the end of the day! The place is stunning with all the beautiful plants. Our few of the ocean from the beautiful front lawn was amazing. Access to the beach was easy. Trinidad is a quiet little town. We loved it here

Dreamy. Lovely. Beautiful!

Property was perfectly maintained. Garden was gorgeous. Host was courteous. Was not prepared for the stairway up to the living area/bedroom. A bit challenging for the aged but managed with care. Would loved to go back. 🤗

A lovely retreat

The cottage was perfect for our stay. The property's gardens were beautiful and lush, a joy to walk through. We used the cottage as our base of operation for hiking the Redwoods Parks, and it worked very well. It was lovely to come back after a day of hiking and relax with a glass of wine in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the cove (some days the fog hadn't rolled in and we could even SEE the cove!) There is a full kitchen, but there are no oils or spices (other than salt and pepper) on hand. The room was bright and cheery even on foggy days. The owners' pup was very friendly. If we were in the area again, we'd definitely rebook.

The cottage is just across the road from the Luffenholtz beach access. Tom was very friendly and encouraged us to explore their property. The cottage is very private and quiet and next to the main house on the hillside surrounded by beautiful landscaping and plants. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

The grounds are fantastic! The owners could charge admission just for the flowers. Stand in one place and look at the ocean. Move a few feet and sit in a chair beside a flowing stream. We are repeat visitors for the past 12 years.

We had an amazing experience at the seaside cottage. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful and welcomed us with open arms. We felt very cared for! The property is gorgeous and the setting is absolutely breathtaking. The beach is a short walk and charming downtown Trinidad is a 7-minute drive. We can't wait to come back to this fantastic property in one of our most favorite areas of California.

The Spirit of Luffenholz

This is a creekside property with several acres of professionally designed and installed landscape that will remind one of Butchart Gardens in British Columbia on a smaller scale. The ocean is visible from the front yard and the ocean breakers make a sound that is, well, mesmerizing. You will hear the gurgling of Luffenholz Creek at all times when outside. There is shade parking. The owners are very friendly & gracious, and clearly, spend a lot of time in those gardens. There is delightful pup who will greet you. The rental is an efficiency treehouse apt. above the garage of the main residence. Shaded by giant Redwoods, it has everything you need, including complete privacy. Note that there are 17 steps that climb up to the sublime chill pad.

Sound of the surf from room.

Excellent location. Away from town but very short drive to restaurants and grocery. You could hear the sound of the surf from the room. Short but steep walk to the beach. Owners were very helpful when I had a problem with my car. An excellent stay. Would highly recommend.
