Very comfortable, clean and spacious self-contained studio above the garage on the owners’ property, just across the road from the steps down to Luffenholtz beach. While the studio faces away from the coast, the sound of the waves can be heard with the balcony doors open. Don’t forget to explore the gardens surrounding the property, absolutely gorgeous. The road into the property is rough in places but our low clearance car had no trouble. We loved the beachy feel of Trinidad and found this the perfect place to explore Redwoods National Park.

Luffenholtz stay

What a beautiful location. Nestled in the woods, a short walk from Luffenholtz Beach, which is very special. Incredibly quiet and private. It was a joy to stay there.

Luffenholtz Delight

Great location! 2miles to Trinidad and 103 steps to Luffenholtz beach. Owners are a delight and the grounds are immaculate! We divided our time between sitting in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the ocean, walking along the beach, birding and visiting historic sights in the area.

Quaint Beach Home

Good communication laid out the expectations. Easy check-in. Great location across the street from the beach. We very briefly lost power, but they have a back up generator, which was great!

Beautiful respite near the sea

Fabulous private location just across the road from a secluded beach. Comfortable and clean with nice furnishings. Gorgeous property! The sound of the nearby creek and ocean is so relaxing! Just south of the town of Trinidad with easy access to the 101 as well to explore the redwoods.

The Perfect Getaway

My husband and I love the redwoods and the Northern Coast, so we decided to stay in Trinidad. By luck we landed at The Seaside Cottage and were able to bask in both while staying cozy & comfortable in this sweet studio.

Sound of the surf from room.

Excellent location. Away from town but very short drive to restaurants and grocery. You could hear the sound of the surf from the room. Short but steep walk to the beach. Owners were very helpful when I had a problem with my car. An excellent stay. Would highly recommend.

Clean, comfortable, quiet cottage in the woods but near the waves. So special!

My husband and I had a very nice stay at this lovely beach cottage. The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. We were nestled in the trees but could hear the waves nearby. Such a nice experience! The cottage was very clean, well-stocked, quiet, private, and comfortable. We had a wonderful time. Thank you to Hosts Tom and Tom!

An absolute gem

We enjoyed our stay here tremendously. The property has beautiful gardens and you are steps from the beach. Tom and Tom were incredibly welcoming, responsive and on point with their recommendations for restaurants and coffee. We loved their dog, Lucy, who is super sweet. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was very clean. If you are looking for a quiet and beautiful retreat, this is the spot!
