About this property

Abalone Cabin-Charming retreat w/ ocean views!

Guest reserving home must be 25 years or older, be staying at the property the entire time and will be considered the responsible party for this booking. Sorry but this is not a pet friendly home, no exceptions. *

Experience a unique coastal getaway in Trinidad, CA. Nestled on the rugged and beautiful Northern California coast, this charming 3 bedroom/ 2 bathroom A-frame home built in the 1970's and secondary family room cabin built offer majestic ocean views. This property is an idyllic retreat for nature lovers and beach enthusiasts alike. As you step inside this 2 story home, you'll be greeted by a cozy and comfortable living space adorned with one of a kind artwork and décor from the Russian history professor and his wife who studied English literature at U.C. Berkeley and were frequent travelers of Europe and once inhabited this home. The main level includes the open dining, living room and kitchen which makes for easy gathering and entertaining. The fully equipped kitchen has a gas range, toaster oven, microwave and all the gadgets needed to prepare great meals with ease. Enjoy your culinary creations at the dining table, while the ocean breeze drifts in through the open windows. The dining table comfortably seats 6. Alternatively, you can savor your meals al fresco, which offers uninterrupted views of the ocean and surrounding coastline. The living room has a leather sectional sofa and t.v. There is a den located just off the living room. This space is set up with a small sofa and provides a quiet space to retreat, read a book or take a nap. The property boasts 3 comfortable bedrooms, each with new memory foam queen bed to ensure a peaceful night's sleep. There is one bedroom and bathroom on the main level. This bedroom has a Queen bed and views of the evergreen forest. The bathroom has a stall shower. Upstairs is carpeted throughout and offers 2 more bedrooms both with Queen beds. The West facing bedroom has sweeping ocean views where guests can enjoy waking to the sounds of the sea and the East facing bedroom has views of Redwood trees. There is a 2nd bathroom upstairs that has a bathtub, no shower.

Walk across the breezeway and step inside the cabin that was the original structure built in the 1950's as a retreat for music professors at what is now Cal Poly Humboldt (photos coming soon!). Originally it was a place to play music and was later designed as a family gathering space with breathtaking magical ocean views! The cabin provides more space to spread out, relax, watch t.v., play games or simply watch waves crashing against the cliffs and sea stacks. Witness stunning sunsets from the comfort of the cabin. This space will quickly become a favorite spot for taking in the sweeping ocean views, spotting falcons, whales and sea lions and playing games at the large table. The gas fireplace adds both warmth and ambiance.

Located in a prime location just a few miles North of Trinidad, known as the crown jewel of Humboldt County guests are just a short drive to all of the conveniences of downtown - a full service grocery store, café, restaurants, a historic museum, pier and shops. Trinidad also boasts some of the most pristine beaches around. Sumeg State Park and Redwood National Park with incredible scenic coastal trails and giant ancient Redwoods are just miles from your doorstep. Spend your days exploring the rugged cliffs, tide pools teeming with marine life, and secluded coves. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Trinidad and experience the tranquility of the Pacific Ocean and the magic Humboldt has to offer.

Cozy Secluded Coastal Cabin w/ Ocean Views
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This location can’t be beat! We were so thrilled with the location, the sweeping views of the coast, the quaint, cozy welcoming home and surprised to find a separate cabin filled with books, a fireplace and views of the ocean. While we were only able to stay for 2 nights, we plan to return and spend several days relaxing in this serene place. Thank you for a wonderful stay and lifelong memories.

Wonderful views and privacy in Redwoods
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was truely as advertised — a house with real character, immaculately clean, that sits alongside its own cabin library — both with breath-taking views of the North California coast. The book collection was a revelation. The stay was wonderfully quiet, and rainy days in the woodlands district not a problem here. Sublime.

Perfection
This property was absolutely amazing. From the location to everything we wanted to see to the views from every room in the cottage. Full kitchen with everything you need and 2 full bathrooms. The old cabin was my favorite part for after a long day of hiking to kick back and watch football. Overall one of our top 5 placea we have been and we have been on 27 trips in the past 4 years.

Wonderful Stay / Beautiful Property
Great stay! Property is well taken care of, exceptionally clean, and looks a lot newer than the photos show. Kitchen is well equipped with all the utensils and cookware you need. Downstairs has a bedroom, and bathroom in the hall with shower and soap/shampoo/conditioner. Upstairs has two bedrooms and washer dryer with detergent. Cozy detached cabin has large sitting area with Smart TV. The thought they put into every detail from extra towels, blankets, etc was stellar. All linens were fresh and clean, and beds exceptionally comfortable. Great WiFi in home too. Location is fantastic. 15 minutes to Safeway Grocery Store and 30 mins to the Redwoods. Try to visit on a Saturday…Farmers Market in Arcata is a fun stop. Hoping to visit again soon!

Pleasant Stay!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This ‘Abalone’ home has a beautiful view from the fenced off cliff in the front yard. It was wonderful to hear the waves crashing on the shore below and it was warm enough, even in late Sept., to enjoy our breakfast outside. The home is dated but clean and very useable. The beds were very comfortable too. We spent a lot of time in the ”CABIN” building watching movies and completing a puzzle after our day trips. I must note the heater worked well in there but was very noisy. The electric fireplace was in pieces and did not work at all which was a disappointment. The refrigerator freezer was overcome with ice and frost but management seemed uninterested. Overall , we enjoyed our relaxing stay.

Great Private Oceanfront Retreat!
The home exceeded our expectations. The view is outstanding, and we enjoyed total privacy, with the nearest house well out of sight and out of sound range. This combination is rare. Close to Sue Meg State Park and the town of Trinidad, and Stout Grove in Humboldt Redwood State Park is only about an hour away to the south, with Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park a similar distance away to the north. 6 people could stay here very comfortably.

A piece of heaven
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was perfect. Very well maintained and clean like new. The great room library is amazing! Large grassy area over looking the most beautiful beach and a canopy of redwoods - Just amazing. Management was very attentive with a few questions I had and a small issue with cable was immediately taken care of. Always had a great experience with Trinidad Retreats. Thank you, we'll be back every year. 15 minutes to the airport, 20 to Eureka and 5 to Trinidad. Great restaurants and shopping!

Beautiful View overlooking the Pacific
Very clean, lovely property with amazing views. The property was more than sufficient space for our family of four with 2 small children. The sound of the ocean makes for unmatched morning meditations. Thanks for a great stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was as described, very clean, private, and had everything we needed for our stay. We explored the nearby beaches and the redwood forests. There was a great guidebook in the cabin to help us make plans. We spent evenings on the patio watching the sunset. The nearby Larrupin Cafe was fantastic (though on the pricey side). The property manager went above and beyond to help us with an issue we had on our way out of town - exceptionally helpful! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Epic View in Secluded Spot
We absolutely loved the spectacular view and seclusion of this special place. The beautiful large lot is on a cliff above the ocean and off a small country road. It is bordered by forest on one side; on there other there is a neighbor house a good distance away and not visible behind a large privacy fence. The view of the coastline from here rivaled or surpassed the many amazing coastal views we saw during our road trip up the north coast. We planned to spend our days out and about exploring, but couldn't help but spend our first day just hanging out here. We definitely hope to return one day.
