Kitchen was perfect. The Floors were a little dirty/dusty - but if not used regularly that can easily happen. Overall - Family loved it and will use again in the future.

Relaxing getaway
From the location to the amenities, this place was perfect for our getaway. There was plenty of space for the 6 of us to sleep, watch TV or help in the kitchen. The couches in the living room were very comfortable and the beds were good too. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again when in the area.

Beautiful location!
The location was perfect for being by the ocean and soaking up the redwoods! Perfect for a family
This was a great location for our Redwood national forest visit. The ocean views were spectacular. It is an older house but is in good condition. We spent a lot if our time in the huge back yard. It was a great place for everyone age 12 to 66.

Fell in love with NorCal
This was our first time visiting Northern California and absolutely fell in love with the area. The house is perfectly located and allowed easy access to Trinidad and north of there to see the redwoods as well as Eureka. It has all the amenities we needed, including comfortable beds, good WiFi, kitchen utensils, as well as a gorgeous view of the coastline. We will def be back!
The place is not clean or well kept. No extra toilet paper except for the small half used rolls that were on there. Bedding wasn’t clean, cobwebs throughout and the shower head downstairs needs replacing as the water barely comes out. The property is a pretty place but is isn’t beachfront that is usable. This would not be a safe place for a family with young children. It was private and not really walkable to Trinidad which should be noted. I thought this was walkable to the shops/restaurants. If it were clean I would have felt very different. The heater works well downstairs but it is cold upstairs. They also need a coffee bean grinder. This definitely isn’t worth over 500 per night.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the home did not meet your expectations. Our listing does note the location and proximity to town, and we strive to provide accurate descriptions and photos so guests can determine if the home is a good fit. We also conduct inspections prior to arrival to ensure cleanliness and supplies, and we’re always happy to send housekeeping or maintenance during a stay if concerns are reported. We appreciate you sharing your experience and wish you the best in your future travels.
The property was very comfortable, cozy. Perfect location for us to explore the area. That said, we recommend that the directions/guidebook left in the property be updated to include directions on how to use (or not) the fireplaces, and the heating systems (we had to call to get the updates).Overall, very pleased!

Great location
This is a great home whenever traveling with a larger group. Plenty of room for all and the back yard views are phenomenal!
We had a family Thanksgiving at the house and were delighted with the large yard and view! It looks a little different than it does in the pictures but overall it was a comfy and charming place.
Large, private, quiet property with incredible ocean view. Enjoyed beautiful evening sunsets around the fire pit. House is old with a lot of character. Had everything we needed for meals there.

Great, comfortable stay
Lovely view, quiet, clean and comfortable! Very nice beds and super clean. Quaint and cozy with a family/cottage feel. Wish we'd stayed longer to enjoy Trinidad and more beaches. Bring your own firewood and be prepared for spotty wifi.

Beautiful ocean view
Best part of this property is the 180 degree view of the pacific ocean coastline and large secluded lot. It was very quiet and peaceful.

Wonderful spot for a family gathering!
The house was very clean. The space was as described. The kitchen was great. You could hear the ocean and could get to it quickly. So many things to do near by. Highly recommended staying at this home.
We could not have chosen a better location for our family of 5 to enjoy both the Redwoods and the gorgeous California coastline! We spent two days exploring Redwood National Park and loved our easy access to several beaches where we treasure hunted in tide pools for starfish and other marine life. Sunset from this property is breathtaking!

Large, secluded property with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. Home was cozy but a little dated. Other than that it was a nice relaxing stay.
