The sanctuary house in Trinidad is as lovely in person as it looks in the photos. The views are amazing, the house very comfortable and well appointed. I hope to be back one day!

I begin with the driveway onto the property, it felt like a secluded area, and the SMELL was wonderfully intoxicating because of all the trees and plants. Being greeted by the water fountain was an excellent greeting, then to see the architecture even more wonderful than the photos can show was a great pleasure, especially since the seascape and landscape could be seen through the back and front windows. Wow! What a fantastic way to enter into a home. Immediately we felt the coziness of this place because of all the decor furniture artwork and comforts of home placed so invitingly. The cleanliness was superb. Thank you for that! Also, thank you for everything being kept up and not one thing being in any way raggedy. One thing that would help with some comfort is an AC, but if not to be, screens on the windows so that we don’t get the little flying bugs. Everything was well stocked. I really felt the luxuriousness of this place with all the fine linens bedding towels robes blankets pillows and throw pillows on the sofas, and the fine furniture bathroom fixtures and sinks and showers and beautiful windows and how they operate. I could keep going, but that gives everything away, experience for yourself, you won’t regret it. Instead you’ll make an excellent memory. We would stay again and again and again . . .

This VRBO has rated a "10" for us - we have never had a vacation rated a 10 yet! I have never seen a more beautiful perfect house on a more perfect spot. I hate t write a review full of words like "gorgeous". "beautiful", "peaceful", etc, etc. We were so sad to leave it. We arrived with perfect weather, sunny and with the view of the islands taking our breath away. And after two days the fog rolled in. All we could think of was Robert Frost's poem "Fog" and how apt it was. It was gorgeous and so calm. We decided to take the day off and just enjoy the beauty of the house. My husband was recovering from surgery so it was perfect for us to have a day of quiet. The house was prepared for us, many interesting books, games to play, hot tub. We lacked for nothing. Only issue was that the kitchen was so incredible that it was difficult to decide if we should work and cook something delicious or if we should just relax and go to one of the wonderful restaurants for seafood. Seafood won! I have no suggestion for anything that might need to be improved on. Improvement at this VRBO would be impossible. Thank you for sharing your incredible home with us!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is so interesting and so well designed for living. You can see the ocean from the entire back of the house, and big sliding doors open to the patios, so the breeze can come in all the time. There are several spots around the property that are perfect for sitting and reflecting on the surrounding beauty. The house is very clean and extremely comfortable. The kitchen is a delight - we stayed in for all of our dinners because it was so easy to prepare meals with all of the cookware, utensils, dishes, spices, etc, and we thought it a shame to give up the outstanding setting for an enclosed restaurant! The property manager was easy to work with and quick to respond to our questions. We just loved our entire stay and we didn't want to leave! Thank you for sharing this perfect refuge!

We have stayed at this property multiple times and are blown away each time! Everything from the views, the location, cleanliness of the home, amenities, well-stocked kitchen...it will not dissapoint!

Even with an earthquake, electricity outage from the 6.3 and rainy weather we loved this property. We embraced before during and after the earthquake, this home is SOLID, STUNNING, and Comfortable. Just treat yourselves and book this spectacular coastal beauty.

Amazing house with great views. Only thing we did wrong was not booking it for longer. Hot tub under the stars was spectacular. Love the radiant floor heat and the lovely fireplace. Be sure to visit Murphy grocery store just 6 min from the house for great selection of gourmet food and drinks.

Exactly as advertised and more.

The thing about fog is it makes you slow down which is a true gift. We stayed 5 nights and ate wonderful meals at the house for four of them and enjoyed Larrupin on our last night.

Perfect weekend in every way. The view the amenities the location and the ease of the home. We came up to experience the trees and the peaceful pace of the area and it was everything we had hoped for!!!!

We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary here! We traveled from Michigan and the arrival flight was conveniently at Humboldt Airport. Short drive to house, grocery store & State/National Parks. From any location in the house, the views were stunning! Clam beach was better than expected for swimming, beach combing and convenient location (could see beach from house). Lots of great nooks and sitting areas inside and outside of the house. We had a really great time and this house is rated at the top of our list. We highly recommend it!

We've been guests in this home several times but it was our turn to host! What a great place to be for any occasion! Tried to get my girlfriend out of the kitchen (she's a caterer) but she says this is her favorite place to cook! Wish we could have stayed longer! Amazing views, amazing home-so glad our guests enjoyed their time!

The house was well stocked and the outside fire ring was set up with wood so all we had to do was light it! It was perfect for roasting marshmallows. We had beautiful weather and spectacular ocean views!
I contacted Trinidad Retreats management company for a question and they promptly responded with an answer. They provided great service!
I’m looking forward to staying here again!

A completely private, spacious, serene and artful home on a gorgeous site, with beautifully designed mature landscaping and unobstructed views of Trinidad Bay. The property managers are always available to help, suggest itineraries or just answer questions. Hiking in the redwoods in this part of California is a memorable experience. Returning after a long day to this home is a privilege.

Everything was as advertised! The views were great and the house was very well stocked (it's definitely a home rather than a minimally stocked rental). The location is close to Trinidad, but the property still feels isolated and peaceful. We are already planning our next trip!

After minimal travel for two years , we were happy to get away to a party of the coast we had never visited , but had driven through on a couple of occasions. And Sanctuary House was the perfect introduction to Trinidad! I t is as good as it looks in the photos , a spectacular contemporary home on an equally spectacular cliff with wide ocean and rocky island/beach views. Scoping whales from the deck was a particular treat....The house appears very well maintained and equipped. We were only two of us , the house could easily accomodate six or more in comfort , with enough room for quiet privacy when needed. Location is perfect....out of Trinidads but just a few minutes from the '' town'' and harbor , and our favourite breakfast spot , Seascape Restaurant. If you are not hungry , don't go !!! Delightful people are a feature of Trinidad , be it wait staff , store owners , or locals on the dock fishing quietly for their lunch. And we definitely will be back for crab season ! It is tough to find anything to criticise about Sanctuary House , but here goes ....the oven needed cleaning [ altho' we had no intention of using it!] and there was only one extra trash bag for the kitchen waste bin. SO , scarcely complaints at all !!! Beds were comfortable [ we only tried one !] and shower was great , once the hot water found its way there. We plan to return , it is a great house and wonderful location, and very accurately portrayed in the descriptions on line. And Trinidad Retreats are very pleasant and easy to deal with. Sanctuary House is worth the price tag , and so is Trinidad. !!! Peter and Marian

The house is located in one of our favorite areas in Trinidad just above Baker Beach. Nestled in between large Sequoias and beautifully landscaped grounds the home has sweeping southwestern views of the Pacific and is a architects dream. We were also pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the house was with cookware, linens, firewood and even back up propane tanks for the grill. We had such a magical time and will definitely be back!

I had hoped the home would be as beautiful as the pictures but it exceeded my expectations. The perfect setting for our post-covid celebration of grace and beauty. The home and the setting reflect taste, refinement and comfort on every level. The radiant heating was a wonderful surprise! Everything worked perfectly and the house was immaculate. I certainly hope that we can return someday for a longer stay. Thank you for sharing this special place with us.

The property was amazingly beautiful! The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking. Clean and quite luxurious. Great sitting areas inside and out to enjoy the glorious landscapes and each other’s company. We loved it, and of course Trinidad is a lovely little village with great places to eat, and your are so close to the Redwoods!
