About this house rental

Whalesong House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Crafted of heart redwood, Whalesong House is a charming two-story home with a well-equipped, full kitchen, an adjacent dining area, and a living room with a wood stove. A designer’s delight, this rental is lavishly landscaped with an enclosed, rear garden brimming with rhododendrons, climbing roses, hydrangeas, camellias, and other perennials. Designed by one of the owners, the three-foot spherical fountain, Global Peace, which punctuates the dozens of heathers, lavenders, and ornamental grasses in the front garden, has become a Trinidad landmark. And Byrd Baker, the “old-timer” from Mendocino, who, in his small skiff, once blocked a Japanese whaling ship, carved the driftwood whale insignia, which hangs at the apex of the face of the house. Guests of this rental will also enjoy the view from the furnished balcony, the gas grill, and the private hot tub, perfect for soothing both body and soul.

This rental is located right in the heart of town making it easy to walk to restaurants, shops, galleries, and museums. For the adventurous, this home is about a mile from College Cove Beach and College Cove Falls, a little over two miles from Luffenholtz and Moonstone Beach, and about six miles from Patricks Point State Park. And if you want to hike the scenic trails of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, this home is about 28 miles south.

Trinidad is a hidden gem with beautiful views and beaches. The house was exactly as pictured in a nice neighborhood with views and close to local shops, grocery store and restaurants. It was very comfortable for our family of 6 but lacked some basics I've come to expect like at least a minimal amount of alum foil, plastic wrap, sugar etc. Not even a salt shaker! I also would have appreciated a bottle of cleaning fluid. The only thing provided was 2 rolls of paper towel, trash bags and a 2 oz. bottle of dish liquid. You get the listing from VRBO but end up with VACASA who is cumbersome to deal with. Communication with the local manager was difficult. Nevertheless, I would recommend the rental. Just make sure you bring your own salt.

Bad communication with the local management company, as in we didn’t hear from them until after being there for a full day. Also, why are there so many mirrors in this house? But great location, ocean views, walking distance to local shops/food, close driving distance to the mini grocery store as well. Would stay again.

We loved everything about this house! We had 4 adults and one kid and there was plenty of room for everyone. You could not ask for a better location. It was just 1/2 a block away from the best restaurant and shop in town, and an easy walk to the beach, although it's kind of steep in the way back from the beach. The house had everything you needed, and the yard was phenomenal. Our kid was ready to move in permanently. The only downside is the house is really creaky. If you have light sleepers they will want ear plugs or white noise.

This comfortable house in the middle of Trinidad offered just the right amenities for our stay on the coast for 4 adults and 2 kids. We like to cook so the fully-equipped kitchen was a plus. The backyard allowed the kids to play in a safe place. Views of the bay and ocean were just right. Quiet neighborhood within walking distance to stores, restaurants, aquarium, and beach was another asset. And a wood stove for extra heat and ambience was another plus.

I recommend reading Vacasa's rules very carefully, as they are very different from dealing with human property owners, who are generally more understanding and flexible. We gave notice that terrible inclement weather (torrential rains and dangerous flooding) too concerning for us to travel to the area, hoping not to risk life and limb -- and offered to move our trip to a later date. Vacasa was not interested in offering any flexibility. It's basically the Uber of vacation rental property managers, and their only priority is to take your money. Don't even think about trying to get anyone helpful on the phone, should anything go wrong.
