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.

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.

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.
