Host was incredibly responsive. Beds were very comfortable. Great location. Be sure to tell the host if you’re arriving late so an outdoor light can be left on. Be sure to visit Moonstone Beach - it is pretty from the property but is incredible once you drive or walk down to the area.

Great location for a redwoods trip. Fun to walk or drive to the beach and see the starfish. Amazing views from all the windows and porches! Clean house, new appliances, comfortable rooms. Not a lot of parking but made it work. Would definitely come back!

The location is most excellent and exactly what wanted. We had planned to get groceries and cook our own food while we stayed but the outdoor grill was not up to our liking and the bedding needed washed but thankfully there is a washer and and dryer. Overall the place is outstanding. We would stay there again no problem and are planning on it. Moonstone beach was our favorite of all the many beaches in the area.

Location was great, view was pretty. Trinidad in general was a very cute town with an amazing restaurant. Couch needs to be replaced or needs covers on it, we did not hangout in the living room because the couch was pretty dirty. There were people chopping wood until midnight.

We had such a wonderful stay! The house was spotless and very well cared for. The beds were incredibly comfortable — we all slept so well. It truly had everything we needed and felt like a home away from home. The view of Moonstone Beach was absolutely beautiful and made our mornings and evenings extra special. Great restaurant just below. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay on the coast!

My wife and I had a wonderful time of doing nothing except mostly staring at the view. It was an easy walk to the beach, and close to McKinleyville for shopping.
