Sanctuary House - Architectural Gem w/ Ocean Views!

North Coast Sanctuary is an architectural gem perched on four acres above the Pacific Ocean near the seaside village of Trinidad. An exclusive vacation home for those seeking a peaceful, uniquely tranquil experience where the beauty of art, architecture, and nature nourish the body and soul. The style and craftsmanship of this custom, luxurious, multi-level home is a one of a kind peaceful retreat filled with beautiful art and surrounded by the sights and sounds of the sea. A perfect getaway to restore the mind and body while gathering with family and friends. The interior design combines the elements of wood, glass, and slate in balance & harmony with the natural surroundings of Redwoods and sweeping ocean views. Guests will love relaxing in the hot tub while soaking up the breathtaking ocean views after a day hiking in the Redwoods. Outdoor entertaining galore w/ a propane bbq, horseshoe & fire pit for roasting marshmallows and staying warm while stargazing at night.

The spaciousness of this large coastal home on 4 pristine acres offers plenty of room to retreat inside or out! The open, airy concept allows for easy, fun filled gathering. Soak up the ocean views from all 3 luxurious bedroom suites of this estate. Sleep up to 6 adults & 2 kids w/ additional very small bunk bed room. Lounge in the upper living room and soak up the heat and ambiance of the gas fireplace while watching tv (extended cable and an active Netflix account for fun viewing). For a quieter place to relax, step down to the lower living room encased by large sliding glass windows, grab a drink from the wet bar and sink into the feeling of being surrounded by the sea. The large, open kitchen is a cook’s dream that includes: a large island with a gas stove & breakfast bar, high quality stainless steel appliances including an Electrolux oven, refrigerator w/ double freezer drawers, microwave, toaster oven, Keurig, French Press and a regular coffee maker for serious coffee drinkers! The shelves are stocked with a wonderful supply of pots & pans, dish & glassware, spices and condiments, local coffee & granola to welcome guests.

Each of the deluxe bedrooms w/ King & Queen beds have en-suite baths. Step up a short stairway into the master suite, a romantic sanctuary w/ breathtaking seaside views, a gas fireplace, T.V., private balcony, bathroom w/ a large walk in shower and dual shower heads. Step down a short stairway to the 2nd bedroom, a lovely place to rest & relax with another King bed, T.V., desk, bath w/ a deep soaking tub & shower and large sliding glass doors that open onto the deck w/ a hot tub. The 3rd bedroom is located on the South wing of the home, offering privacy, more coastal views, a Queen bed and T.V., built-in desk for guests needing to work while away and a bathroom w/ a beautiful slate stall shower. There is an additional, very small room, best suited for children w/ a set of twin bunk beds for groups of up to 8. The powder room and laundry room are located down a nearby hallway.

The expansive lawn, gardens & decks create an outdoor oasis to get immersed in the sights and sounds of the sea. Take a short downhill walk (.3 mile) to Baker Beach, a secluded cove known for it's beauty and also preferred by clothing optional.

Important Notes:

** Please note this home does have Ring for security purposes only, on the front of the house at the door and one facing the back yard.

Much needed respite

Sanctuary House gave us everything we were looking for and more. From the approach, through the entirety of our stay, we were able to fully unwind physically and mentally. The house was exceptionally outfitted and left us wanting for nothing. We absolutely loved our stay. The property management company was wonderful to work with. They graciously and seamlessly accommodated us through an error we made which could have ruined our trip.

Great place to relax and recharge

This is the second time I've been able to stay at this stunning home. It's so beautiful that we resisted the temptation to adventure out each day and instead spend time hanging out and enjoying just being there, cooking, reading and relaxing. The kitchen is absolutely wonderful and so well stocked with the basics and every appliance one might need to prepare gourmet meals. Great beds and beautiful linens. We felt pampered!

Spectacular

Amazing house with great views. Only thing we did wrong was not booking it for longer. Hot tub under the stars was spectacular. Love the radiant floor heat and the lovely fireplace. Be sure to visit Murphy grocery store just 6 min from the house for great selection of gourmet food and drinks.

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: We cannot wait to return to the Sanctuary House! The home is beautiful, quiet, modern and well-supplied; exactly as described. We could have stared at the view all day, but managed to peel ourselves away long enough to enjoy the area and nearby redwood forests, which are some of our favorite in northern California. Of course, I'd prefer this house and area remain a well-kept secret, but I cannot recommend either enough. And the reservation and check-in / check-out process was a breeze ... a great experience overall. Thanks!

Soul-satisfying Sauntuary 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: This house was a splurge, so lucky to share it with good friends. Thick fog every day from October 4-9, 2022. The thing about fog is it makes you slow down which is a true gift. We stayed 5 nights and ate wonderful meals at the house for four of them and enjoyed Larrupin on our last night.

Five star vacation rental in Trinidad

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: The sanctuary house is a beautiful and comfortable home with amazing views all around. I really loved the fog rolling in and covering the several redwood trees on property. On our vacation was a three year old, this property is good for kids but it requires extra attention due to the beautiful artwork and artifacts in the home. We cooked all but one of our meals there and the kitchen and grill were great. I highly recommend this rental and other rentals from Trinidad retreats, I’ve booked with them before and I like them the best out of the others I’ve used in the past.

Absolutely stunning, well-appointed home and property. Upon arrival, you're met with sprawling ocean views and windows galore in a private, wooded setting. The kitchen is a chef's dream, so we enjoyed most meals at the house. We left Sanctuary relaxed & rejuvenated - and will definitely be back. Tip: When exploring downtown Trinidad, be sure to stop by Katy's Smokehouse. We bought fresh scallops for our final dinner at the house. The owner shared meticulous instructions on how to prepare them. Best scallops ever!

Spectacular!

Sanctuary House in Trinidad did not disappoint! Gorgeous home and gorgeous view, first of all. But also: comfy bed, great hot tub with a view of the ocean, all the amenities in the kitchen, access to cable TV, many cozy spots to sit inside and out to enjoy the peace. PRIVATE. Quiet. I could go on! We found a couple things broken in the kitchen (for our coffee making!) and the property managers took care of things as quickly as humanly possible! Thank you!!
