The property is as advertised. Property is clean. Close to the beach, can hear the ocean from the property and listen to it at night. Be advised air conditioning does not exist, but you can open the windows and it will cool down. We enjoyed our visit.

We love to hear you enjoyed your stay at our lovely Sandpiper Home! Yes, it is very uncommon for homes in our area to have AC. Opening the door though gives you a nice fresh ocean breeze right off Moonstone Beach! We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at the Sandpiper! The views from the house are absolutely beautiful, and there was plenty of quiet and privacy. The house was clean and the hosts responded to our questions promptly. The town of Trinidad also had some lovely coffee shops and restaurants that were just a short drive away. I would highly recommend this property!

Amazing windows and deck to take in the fresh air and views! The entire property is oriented to take in vistas. The two blue chairs swivel and we kept them turned to the view during our entire stay. Well-equipped kitchen - like, really amazing for cooks! We roasted a whole chicken in the oven and made breakfast daily. Bed was comfy. Lots of linens, extra blankets. Great access to beach - if you can walk down/up steep hill, great. Otherwise, you might find parking below in lot. Great location to shops just south and the Parks to the north. A coastal gem.

Our stay at the Sandpiper was almost like being at home: a very comfortable bed, everything we needed in the kitchen, comfortable furniture and a lovely view. The decor was fun and also reminded me of my own kitchen. Opening the door to the sound of the waves on the beach was soothing and musical. Altogether a very pleasant experience.

Beautiful ocean view with quick access to Moonstone Beach. Comfortable and cozy house in a quiet area. Loved the amount of natural light and ocean breezes that came thru the bedroom windows. All of the furniture was comfy including the outdoor chairs. The grill worked well the kitchen was well appointed.
