About this property
The Sandpiper - Great location w/ magical ocean views & dog friendly!
Fall in love with the magic of coastal living at The Sandpiper House. It is a perfect blend of coastal beauty and comfort, making it an idyllic hideaway for your California redwoods getaway. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat with stunning ocean views or an opportunity to connect with nature, this vacation rental is the answer. Book your stay and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Moonstone Beach, where each day begins and ends with the rhythm of the tides. Keep your binoculars ready, as you may spot migrating whales breaching in the distance, seals sunbathing on rocks, and a diverse array of seabirds. This is a paradise for birdwatchers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts. Go explore the unique charm and local treasures of Trinidad, a picturesque coastal village that's just a short drive away. Savor fresh seafood at local restaurants, visit art galleries, and enjoy the tranquil pace of coastal living. If you are traveling with more friends or another family consider also booking Moonstone Beach Retreat located just across the street.
The bedroom offers a plush King size bed with windows that frame the mesmerizing ocean views. Its cabin-like vibe feels super cozy and comfortable with carpet throughout. Stroll down the street for a long walk on one of Trinidad's most popular dog friendly and family beaches. If you enjoy surfing, Moonstone beach is a favorite for beginners and more experienced surfers. The sea stacks are also a haven for rock climbers! After a day at the beach head back up the hill and stop in at Moonstone Grill for a cocktail at one of the only ocean view bars in Humboldt County with delicious, local food. Fall asleep to the soothing sound of ocean waves and waking to the marvel of the ever-changing tide and patterns of Little River meeting the Pacific.
Inside the house, you'll find comfort and simplicity in perfect harmony. The living area features an open layout, complete with a built in work space for travelers needing to work while away and a comfortable seating arrangement that allows you to bask in the magnificent ocean scenery or enjoy watching movies on the 65 inch Smart T.V. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide uninterrupted views of the waves. Plenty of space to sit quietly and do a puzzle while soaking up the views. The small but complete galley style, dine in kitchen has everything you'll need enjoy preparing meals. The bathroom is located down the short hallway to the bedroom and offers a stall shower.
There are two decks to enjoy, an upper one located off of the living room and a lower hidden gem with South facing sunshine it is the perfect spot to start and end your every day! Grill local fresh fish on the barbecue and enjoy dinner al fresco!
