Lovely stay, amazing views!
My boyfriend and I stayed 5 days at the garage house. The views are incredible and we very much enjoyed the hit tub and listening to the waves at night. The kitchen was well stocked but there were very minimal spices (Salt and pepper). You may want to bring your own or buy from the local market. Also there was no shampoo or conditioner provided, so don't forget to bring your own. We accidently left my boyfriend's watch at the house and the owner was very helpful with mailing it back to us. We would stay again!

Trinidad getaway
Our stay in the Garage House was amazing. Walking into the house and seeing the views of the ocean was spectacular. The house is comfortable with everything we needed. It was convenient to the town of Trinidad, the redwoods and beaches and restaurants. We hope to stay there again in the future. We highly recommend the Garage House in Trinidad

Incredible view
We very much enjoyed staying at this property. The accommodations were comfortable and clean. The rooms were very pretty and well maintained. The best part of this rental is the view. Main room and bedroom both face the ocean and the view from each is stunning. There is a deck with the same view and we loved sitting out there watching the sunset. We would definitely rent here again.

Perfect getaway near Redwood parks
Perfect for our trip. Short drive from the airport. Convenient shopping in Arcata and Trinidad. Very quiet, only the sound of waves at night. Friendly host. Very clean + amazing views.

Absolutely stunning
What can I say but that this was just heaven on earth. We stayed in this fabulous place for 5 days and it was just amazing. The views were just breathtaking. The area was like you were in a small town . The hottub was great at the end of every day. Beachcombing for sand dollars eary in the morning was such a fun time and the sunsets were magnificent. Had everthing you needed to make meals and the grill was a plus. They even had a bottle of wine waiting for us. My husband and I had a once in a liftime west coast vacation. Was in the perfect vicinity to see all the attractions of the redwoods. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful oceanside cottage.

We won't stay anywhere else!
I usually write a long review about the amazing ocean views and how lovely it is to unwind in their hot tub overlooking the Pacific with a glass of wine after an afternoon of hiking. But I'll just leave it at this: This was our 7th stay in 8 years. We wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else!

Great get-away
Absolutely gorgeous setting. Beautiful view of the ocean from a large deck. Sit in the hot tub on the deck and enjoy the view. Gas BBQ worked great. We used it several times. Full-size kitchen that was well furnished. Washer/dryer in unit. The bed was comfortable and there was a great view of the ocean from the bedroom. Highly recommended.

Weekend getaway
Amazing little place, we will be back and refer friends/family. Bring kleenex and papertowels, expect the racoon to dump the trash every night unless you bring a bungee to keep it upright and sealed. Lol. Would recommend the owners get a king size bed, totally enough room for it.
