Just Book It!
Beautiful place, perfectly located. Right at Moonstone Beach and really close to the NP. The host was extremely responsive. We had a couple small issues and they were very quick to address. Overall I’m very happy and I would stay there many times over.

Five Stat Accommodation
First, we found the place spotless squeaky clean and very functional for 4 adults, two children and a dog. A completely fenced secluded yard for the kids and dog to play. Had everything we needed just like home. The Host Amy was very responsive and fulfilled all our requests.Second, the location is perfect. 5 min. to All services in Trinidad. An hour or less to all major attractions. We went to Ave of Giants, Sequoia ZOO/ Skywalk (a must do) Many Beaches (found cool Agates) the Marine Lab, Tide pools and more. We had a great time all in 4 days and three nights. Next time we'll stay longer.Without hesitation We rate this accommodation and area A Five star experience. Thank you Amy

Wonderful place - exceeded our expectations
Wonderful place, quiet and peaceful, just what we wanted/needed. The place was very clean and comfortable. The mattress was very high quality, initially I thought it was going to be a bit too firm for me but it ended up being very comfortable. The water was great quality too, we didn’t need to buy bottled. Plenty of great restaurants nearby and amazing views. We will definitely be back.
