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 cottage was a perfect base location to explore Humboldt County. Tom was a great host and has a beautiful property both inside and out! This is my pick if we return to the area again!

This is the second time we have stayed at this lovely cottage, super comfortable and clean! The hosts are very friendly but completely respect your privacy. Lucy their dog is super sweet, she just can't resist welcoming you! It is so quite and relaxing. The little secret garden is spectacular, a wonderful place for a private picnic or quite reading. We will visit again!

Space is comfortable and beautiful. Really gorgeous grounds. Listen to birds, surf and stream. Short walk down to luffenholz Beach and out to lookout point. Thank you!

This sweet cottage above a garage is very quaint and private. You are free to roam the owners’ incredible gardens and sit in comfy chairs on a rock patio nearby soaking up the ocean view. The nearby creek and ocean waves hide any noises (not that there were any) and lull you to sleep. Across from a crescent moon shaped beach and close to a scenic bluff (walking distance), this is the perfect escape from the busy and noisy city life. Owners are deeply kind and have great recommendations. Trinidad is super quaint and there are parks and trails, including the Redwoods, nearby. Accommodations very comfy and quiet with a nice kitchen and bathroom. Can’t wait to return!

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.

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.

Property was perfectly maintained. Garden was gorgeous. Host was courteous.
Was not prepared for the stairway up to the
living area/bedroom. A bit challenging for the aged but managed with care.
Would loved to go back.

This little cottage is private, quiet and extremely comfortable. The property is absolutely beautiful overlooking the ocean, several secluded areas with tables and chairs to picnic, read or just enjoy the view. Tom is most pleasant, friendly and always available to answer any questions! This little place is quite a treasure! We will definitely visit again!

Peaceful, quiet, spacious, comfortable cottage which backs to a forest. Beautiful property with running creek, stellar landscaping and spectacular beach across the road (via stairs). Owners live on property and are easy to work with.

This is a quiet, lovely property located across the beach! It’s a beautiful little getaway and close to Trinidad Harbor. There is a casino a mile down the road but you would never know that! Lots of beaches to hike!

This cottage is beautifully arranged, quiet , comfortable and you can hear the ocean ! The hosts encouraged us to walk their gardens ,enjoy their ocean view and walk 5 minutes to Luffenholz beach. Enjoyed exploring the area beaches , redwoods and the town of Trinidad provided all we needed. Wish we stayed longer!
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay here. Tom is very friendly & was nearby for any questions or if we’d had any issues, yet the rental was secluded/private. We loved the beautiful gardens on the property & the fact that the ocean is directly across the street, with steps down to the beach (although very steep!). We love the Trinidad area & hope to return.

What a find! All expectations were exceeded. Well situated for exploring to suit any taste and the private location was a delight. We will definitely return!

The cottage was charming and had all the amenities we needed. Great location for exploring the southern end of Redwood National-State parks, area beaches, and Trinidad. Owners were gracious in sharing their beautiful gardens to enjoy with beautiful ocean views. Cottage is quiet, comfortable, and clean.

Enjoyed seeing all the trees outside the large windows and skylight. Didn't get much time to talk to owners but had a quick friendly chat when we left. Space is clean and cute. Nice to see Tom's artwork of butterflies! Comfortable bed.

Gorgeous and tranquil
Almost afraid to say how wonderful this property is for fear of letting the secret out. Hosts are warm and friendly. Their property has a beautiful, extensive garden with a mulch path worth meandering along to enjoy the variety of flowers and bubbling stream that runs along one side of the property. (I wish this site had a way to post photos with the review.) The cottage is surrounding by greenery. There’s a great spot in the garden with a stunning ocean view. You can hear the ocean waves. The path down to Luffenholtz Beach is just steps away. Walking/hiking the nearby Trinidad Head Trail is a must! Can’t say enough how peaceful and beautiful this special place is. Thank you, Tom and Tom, for a fantastic stay!

Clean and great location—good for early risers
The cottage was very clean and was in a great location. The gardens around the cottage and house were beautiful and there is a stream running by that runs out into the ocean. Beautiful sounds to fall asleep to. Easy access to Trinidad and the Redwood Parks. The beach across the street had some of the best tide pooling I have ever experienced and was well worth a morning. Two disclosures should be made on the listing—1) There is a very large skylight above the bed and no window curtains—so you will be waking up with thee sun 2) Whether you come from the North or South, parts of Scenic drive that you must go on to get to the cottage are gravel. We came in the summer when it was dry in a very low clearance car and made it in okay, but we had to go very slow for the gravel parts (about .5-1 mile ish).

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. It was clean, close to town, Tom and Tom were very nice and invited us to enjoy their gardens which were incredible. We had our morning coffee on the balcony looking into the trees listening to the birds sing every day. We loved their sweet little dog too. We will be back!!! This was a perfect get away!

The property is stunning with an absolutely gorgeous garden landscape. Close to a fern filled creek and across the road from the beach. My partner and I were excited to return to the cozy space at the end of our day activities. Great middle spot between Eureka and the Redwood National/State parks. We also enjoyed just taking in all the green from the well lit windows and taking so well needed rest. Highly recommended spot for a relaxed and or adventurous weekend.

The husband and I spent four glorious nights at Tom's place- such a beautiful apartment and location. The apartment kitchen was nicely stocked and the living quarters were so comfortable. We loved being able to walk across the street and down to the amazing beach. This is truly a magical spot and we really enjoyed the town of Trinidad. We hiked in several locations and this place was in a great location close to everything. I hope someday to return and can't thank the hosts enough for sharing this fantastic place!!

I stayed here for my nieces graduation from Cal poly Humbolt. It was the perfect location with lots of privacy. The house was very clean and super cozy. The property itself is dropdead gorgeous. I wish I could have explored the area a little bit more because there was a beach directly across the street. Next time for sure! I would highly recommend staying here. With that said, the road is not for the faint of heart. It is right on the cliff to the ocean but I found it very easy to get in and out of.
