CC is in-town, and walkable to all that the town of Trinidad has to offer. Only thing that would add to the quality would be a channel guide for the tv/cable and a washer/dryer combo. Overall, a clean place to stay.

Fantastic location, beautiful town. We lived our morning walk to the coffee shop and then to the ocean overlook and down to the beach. Property was easy to find, spacious, and very clean.
