My husband and I loved our stay in the Garage House! It truly is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. The view is absolutely incredible, the house is very well-stocked and comfortable, and the hot tub was wonderful to use at the end of the day. Trinidad is just a short drive away for meals out and grocery runs. We will definitely return to this VRBO rental!

Beautiful views!

We loved staying at this beautiful home. You can’t beat the views! It was a perfect location for us to come back to after a day of exploring tide pools or hiking in the redwoods to soak in the hot tub and listen to the waves below us. We would definitely stay here again.

A little piece of paradise

We cannot say enough great things about our stay at the Garage House! Originally intended only as the home base for our trip to the Redwood National Forest, the Garage House quickly became a main highlight of our trip. The view of the ocean, waking up to the sounds of the waves, and sitting in the hot tub after a long day of hiking were moments that we deeply treasured. The cherry on top, was the location. The town of Trinidad and its local businesses like the Beachcomber, Kayak Trinidad, and the Trinidad Bay Gallery and Eatery were true gems. If we ever have the chance, we would love to stay here again.

Beautiful Comfortable Relaxing .. Perfect for 2!

We love everything about this property! It's clean with gorgeous views and a comfy bed. We appreciate the walk-in shower and couldn't have been more comfortable than we were. The kitchen was well stocked as we, mostly, cooked in! This host is diligent and truly cares about his guests... we hope to visit again soon!

Excellent stay

Everything about this property was perfect. The attention to detail was phenomenal. We wanted for nothing. If we thought we needed something it was there for our convenience. The views were the best I have ever seen. I would definitely stay there again. We were sad to leave. It was the perfect getaway. Thank you so much
