Views are spectacular. Is perfect for a couple and easy access to Freeway 101 for heading north or south to visit state and national parks. Moonstone Beach is really close for a nice stroll. Highly recommend the Garage House.

The Garage House was a great home base for our trip to the Redwoods. It had everything we needed, and was very clean. It was a great place to come home to at the end of the day. And the view is amazing. We also appreciated the stack of takeout menus on the coffee table - this let us try some of the local places, and also enjoy eating dinner while looking out over the ocean.

The kitchen could have a few more items but we really didn't cook so it was fine. Didn't use the hot tub. We really enjoyed the peace & quiet of the house. Beautiful view! The house was set up so cute. We enjoyed our time there.

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!

I had a wonderful stay at The Garage House. There is nothing that could have made it any better because it is perfect. The view is sublime. The kitchen is very well stocked. I cooked all of my own meals and had everything I needed. The bed is soft and I slept well. The ocean waves lulled me to sleep. I cried when it was time to leave and I hope I can come back soon.

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.
