Great location, gorgeous view, and enjoyed our little fox visitor. The place was quite clean and comfortable but had a slight invasion of pill bugs - not offensive but a little annoying. Would definitely consider staying here again!

The view! This house is all about the view, overlooking the ocean, listening to the sounds and enjoying being outside. The house was perfect for 2, great shower, bed was comfortable. Location was great to explore the south end of Redwoods NP.

Great place with gorgeous ocean views!

The place was very nice, clean, and the yard and views of the ocean were great. The litlle town of Trinidad is so pretty and had a couple of great restaurants that we really enjoyed.

My husband and I loved our stay in the Garage House! It truly is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. The view is absolutely incredible, the house is very well-stocked and comfortable, and the hot tub was wonderful to use at the end of the day. Trinidad is just a short drive away for meals out and grocery runs. We will definitely return to this VRBO rental!

We loved staying at this beautiful home. You can’t beat the views! It was a perfect location for us to come back to after a day of exploring tide pools or hiking in the redwoods to soak in the hot tub and listen to the waves below us. We would definitely stay here again.

The view of the ocean is picturesque. The outdoor space is lovely and had a nice little hot tub. The place was clean and convenient to Trinidad and not too far from Redwood.

Perfect spot by the sea

It looks like a garage from the road, but inside it’s a lovely little house - comfortable, convenient, clean. But the view! Incredible. The kitchen is well equipped and you can gaze at the ocean while you cook.
