Moonstone Beach Retreat - Beach Lover's Getaway -

Guest reserving home must be 25 years or older, be staying at the property the entire time and will be considered the responsible party for this booking. Sorry but this is not a pet friendly home, no exceptions. *

Moonstone Beach Retreat, perched above beautiful Moonstone Beach is perfect for 2 couples, close friends or a small family looking for a relaxing beach getaway. Endless seascapes & mesmerizing sunset views just a few minutes walk down to the beach! The friendly owner has private quarters below with a separate entrance downstairs. She keeps to herself when visiting and respects guests' privacy. The endless views of Clam Beach and Little River combined with the proximity to Moonstone Beach make this home a great spot for exploring the North Coast. Moonstone Beach is a local family favorite beach that is best known for great surfing, kayaking and fun exploring with rocks to climb, tide pools, sea caves and pristine sand. Running and fitness enthusiasts will love taking the downhill stroll to Moonstone beach, crossing Little River and walking or running for miles on Clam Beach. On a low tide walking north on the beach will lead all the way to Camel Rock, a popular surf spot. After a day of exploring the Redwoods and beaches guests will love sitting on the South facing deck soaking up sunset views.

The open floor plan is spacious and bathed in natural light from the unadorned windows. This beach house is decorated with a mix of modern and vintage decor that creates a comfy vibe with a large contemporary sectional sofa plus 3 old fashioned rocking chairs perfect for lounging and enjoying movies on the large Smart TV. The open living room feels like a solarium with expansive windows without coverings that allow the outdoor views inside. The newly remodeled kitchen is fully equipped for all of your culinary and entertainment needs. The propane bbq is located on the deck just off the kitchen for easy grilling. This two bedroom, one bathroom home comfortably sleeps 4 adults and can accommodate 2 kids w/ twin rollaway beds. Each room has a queen bed and a fold out twin. The bathroom has a combination tub/shower. The full sized washer and dryer are conveniently located in the hall closet. Convenient parking in the driveway allows for two to three cars.

Moonstone Beach Retreat is located off of Scenic Drive running just below Hwy. 101 so this home is easy to access but may have some road noise along with the sounds of the sea. Drive less than three miles away from the seaside village of Trinidad which offers a full service grocery, restaurants, a wine tasting room, cafe, art gallery, museum, pier and pristine beaches. Explore nearby Trinidad Head's 45 minute loop trail with spectacular panoramic ocean views. Patrick's Point State Park just 5 miles North of Trinidad offers a plethora of outdoor activities such as hunting for agates, exploring tide pools, and hiking the majestic Elk Head Trail. Take a scenic 40 minute drive North to explore the majestic Redwood National and State Parks.

We were there 5 nights and everything was great. Great views from all the many windows, and ocean views from some. Very spacious and comfortable inside. Excellent, and perhaps new, appliances. Kitchen was well equipped. Our contact (Hope) was very responsive and helpful to the two questions I had.

Family trip
My family and I were very happy with staying here. The house was spacious, comfortable and had a great view of the ocean. The kitchen had all you needed for eating in, which we cooked most of our meals. Communicating with the owners was very easy. We spent time at Moonstone beach collecting sand dollars. Drove the short drive up in to the Redwood national park. Sunsets at Honda Point were amazing! Would definitely come back!

Nice property
The house was spacious and comfortable. Access to the home was very easy. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was comfortable. Great location for visiting the state parks. However I experienced a serious problem with ants. The property managers were very responsive by providing ant traps and spray. But I believe the property would benefit greatly from a professional pest control service especially with the damp climate. I never did figure out where they were coming from. While my problem involved hundreds of ants on the kitchen island and surrounding floor and walls (note: I had no food in the kitchen), I also noticed an ant trap in the bathroom. The property manager was also very quick to respond when the battery in the tv remote needed replacing. .

First time in California
This was our first experience with the great state of California and it was very memorable. The beach was a 2 minute drive and GORGEOUS. The house was just what we needed. It was a little hard to find the first time. A picture from Google Maps with arrows showing the easiest path to the front of the garage would be a welcomed addition to the email directions after booking. The location is ideal. Driving distance to many attractions and you can be home for a hot shower and bed! Loved the trip and how quiet the neighborhood was!

Great family trip!
We loved being so close to the ocean. Hearing the waves crashing from the house was really nice. We also loved the two minute drive to the beach. We tried walking but sadly realized we weren't in the right shape to make that climb back up the hill :) Driving was perfect! We were even able to star gaze from the bedroom balcony. The location to the small community of Trinidad was nice. There was a grocery store, convenient store, restaurants, and a couple of shops. Everyone was very friendly. Overall, it was a fantastic trip and the house was wonderful!

Amazing View - Short walk to the beach!
The back bedroom has a treehouse feel there are so many trees surrounding it. The views looks south down Clam Beach to the Lost Coast when it is clear. Watching the tide change the height of Little River is fun. We had some friends up on the first night and the kitchen was great for hosting people, making drinks, and putting out food. We'd stay here again!

We had a comfortable stay in the unit. We were surprised by the limited kitchen items as well as the condition of the beds and bedding. The bedrooms could use updating and more blankets. The deck and deck furniture were not inviting.

The Perch Above The Beach
It's a great spot and I would return! 'Clean, comfortable and conveniently located near the best parts of the Humboldt coast. 'Right up the hill from beautiful Moonstone Beach. Oh, and the water pressure for the shower was great. I don't have any complaints. But the oven was broken and we were not informed in advance. Also, some of the light switches are located in weird spots in relation to the lights. It took a while to figure two of them out. You might want to label some of the switches to avoid confusion for future guests. Thanks for having us!

Great location
We enjoyed our stay at Moonstone beach very much. The house was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. The nearby road did not bother us. We liked having an outdoor grill. We liked the location not far from the restaurants and shops of cute Arcata. Had a great time and hope to be back again!

Best Beach Ever!
Our family of four loved our stay - Moonstone Beach especially!! The washer/dryer were convenient for us as we were halfway through a longer trip, and needed to do a couple loads of laundry. The walk to the beach wasn't long (maybe five minutes down to the water) but it was quite steep coming back up. Loved being relatively close to the "fairy forest," as well - great location overall! Note there is another unit on the lower level; not sure if that's another renter or the owner, but they were very quiet. This may just added a touch of anxiety if traveling with young/unpredictable kids; I hope we were quiet enough so as to not disturb them! Thank you for accommodating a very peaceful adventure in the Redwoods!! :)

Place was really nice, beautiful ocean view within walking distance. Great starting point to the Redwoods. House was comfortable and well stocked. Beds were very comfortable. Only issue was a terrible sour smell I think came from the bathroom shower curtains! Also, would be nice to have some beach chairs to use.
