8/10 Good
"Justin the owner was fantastic and so helpful! He recently purchased the property and plans to renovate in the low season. I think this will make an already great B&B even better. The only things I think were really missing were blackout curtains, the curtains were really flimsy and thin so we were up with the sun, and a daily housekeeping refresh. At this price point I expect to see the bed made and towels refreshed daily, so that was a bit of a let down. Room was large and clean, breakfast was delicious and generous portions."

Parker Creek Cabin - Dog & Beachcomber's Paradise! (One Dog Ok)

10/10 Excellent
"The house was a perfect base for our redwoods visit. We were able to walk to restaurants and the beach. Clean and comfortable with lots of extra blankets and pillows. We are from Missouri, and in our area restaurants stay open til 10-11pm, so just a heads up, restaurants close around 8pm so plan ahead. There isn't air conditioning, which makes sense, since it never really gets hot outside, but the house does warm up quite a bit, so open some windows and you'll be fine (us southerners are used to cold air conditioning all summer since we deal with very hot temps). Quiet neighborhood, very private for being in town. No complaints with the house! We loved our stay! My only suggestion to the host would be maybe a couple of box fans for us southerners. We would definitely come back!"

Trinidad Coastal Retreat – Open Living, Panoramic Ocean Views & Stylish Comfort

10/10 Excellent
"The panoramic view of the ocean with whale rock and an absolutely amazing sunset made the price worth it to me all by itself. This place was easy to get to, comfortable, situated close to so many places - Trinidad with several great beaches, like Luffenholtz. Redwoods close by, Sue Meg, Arcata for thriftshops, and Eureka for Victorian architecture, perfect weather every day. Communication was easy, the place was clean. I may not recommend staying there with small kids possibly since you're high above the ocean with no fence. That was not an issue for us. It was perfect and we hope to go back soon."
