Since moving away from this area, I have stayed many places near Trinidad. This home has the most spectacular view I've ever seen! It is well stocked and so close to the freeway, prime beaches, and the beautiful beachside town of Trinidad.

The Garage House was a great home base for our trip to the Redwoods. It had everything we needed, and was very clean. It was a great place to come home to at the end of the day. And the view is amazing. We also appreciated the stack of takeout menus on the coffee table - this let us try some of the local places, and also enjoy eating dinner while looking out over the ocean.

Great location, gorgeous view, and enjoyed our little fox visitor. The place was quite clean and comfortable but had a slight invasion of pill bugs - not offensive but a little annoying. Would definitely consider staying here again!
