California Dreaming
The house is exactly as described. Felt "homey" the second we walked in. Very clean and obviously loved by the owners of the house. Sitting in the backyard with a glorious view of the ocean from three different perspectives was a dream. Loved eating the fresh blackberries and watching the California quails. Would 100% stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful, Imaculate, but Thumbs Down for VaCasa Prop Mgmt
Lovely location & lovely 4 BR home. We booked for just 2 nights. But without an earlier checkin (especially in winter), I'd go elsewhere for a future 2 night stay. I could tell by the calendar, the home was vacant prior to our arrival. So it seems like a checkin earlier than 4pm should have permissible. But this property uses a corp prop mgr named "Vacasa" Well, I found it impossible to reach someone of authority. When I tried to "contact the owner" about an early check in, I received an automated reply from Vacasa saying that I'd be notified by email on arrival day if an early checkin was possible. No permission was received, so we arrived at 4:15pm to a home that was 56 degrees. All other rentals I've stated at had some sort of "welcome" binder with operating instructions. This home only had a laminated card on what to do for checkout. So I had to figure out how to start the two furnaces. One was pretty easy, the other required some programming. The fireplace had one giant log with no kindling or fire starter. The power cord for the fireplace fan was too short to reach the outlet. The outside firepit had no firewood. None of these complaints would be an issue for a longer stays. But we didn't know the area, at 4:30pm on a Fri is not an ideal time to go hunting for firewood. I called the 3 numbers I had for Vacasa. VM for 2 of them, the person that answered the 3rd call was unable to help. I would come again for a longer stay. Pretty views

Hiking trip before sons jr year at college
Loved the bluff overlooking the ocean - was outside by the fence watching surfers on one side and quaint bay on the other. House was quaint and comfortable cottage style home. Kitchen was very well stocked. I made muffins for the hungry hikers and cooked a few meals with everything there that was needed. A little remotely located but could easily drive to beach or town. Access to national park close by. The tide pools at nearby beach was a favorite spot and the sea glass we found there in the gravels. Hikes in the redwoods by day and beach at sunset. Really nice unexpected trip with my son and his college roommates before they went back to start their junior year at Colorado State. Trinidad Pier was stunning - saw an otter and sea lion

Review of area
We were not super familiar with the area as this was our first time. I was surprised that many of the surrounding towns didn’t feel touristy. The town of Trinidad is absolutely adorable however and a perfect tourist destination. This house is nearby (though you have to drive). This location has a unique farm/coastal vibe as it is an old farmhouse located on the waters bluff. The house is old but has character.

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!

Unbelievable sunset views
This house was charming and the yard was amazing with the few overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I really liked being able to hear the ocean through the windows at night and the beautiful woodwork inside the home made me feel like I was on some sort of old time sea vessel. Very romantic and charming. My wife and children loved this place as did I. Only 30 to 40 minutes away from the best redwoods on earth

Trinidad Long Weekend
Our family of eight just spent a 4-day weekend in Trinidad at Westhaven-Moonstone. The house was perfect for us! Beds for everyone with warm bedding. Kitchen was well appointed with plenty of dishes, pots & pans, coffee makers and other kitchen appliances. It was nice to have washer/dryer too. The best thing was the view of the ocean. We were fortunate to have some relaxing mornings watching the surfers and beautiful sunsets in the evenings. Lots of great beaches near by.

Musty, old house with dirt and odors
Buyer beware. You need to know what you're getting into booking this house. I wish someone had warned us. The exterior is rusted, covered in dirt, webs and grime. Outbuildings on the property are full of junk and falling apart. The interior smells thickly of mold and must. Heavily dusty on top of all windows and mantles. We had to leave early because the odors from the house made us all sick. Headaches, runny noses, coughs that would get better during the day when we were out and worsen once we returned. We all tested daily and were/are covid negative. We simply cannot figure out how previous reviews have not mentioned the stench. This is a very old , thinly constructed house that has sat in moisture for decades. For the price, you would expect to have shades for wall lamps, better quality than plastic chairs, and more than cheap single-ply paper towels and toilet paper - etc. So disappointing. We were misled by the advertising for this property and hope that they will tell people up front how truly old and funky this house is.
