Windrose Cottage - Quiet & Romantic Near Beach!

The Windrose Cottage was a comfortable, quiet getaway. It is the perfect size for a couple seeking a cozy retreat, or a solo traveler looking for solitude. Its location is a convenient homebase for the Redwood National Park, or for exploring the coast. Trinidad is a quaint coastal town with a good coffee shop, grocery store, and local food options. Eureka is accessible if there is a need for city necessities, but the cottage has a fully stocked kitchen.

The fireplace is easy to control and heats the space adequately, while making for a relaxing place to sit back. The bath is a treat where you can melt into the warm water while looking up through the sunroof and through the trees. The bed was comfortable, the sheets were clean, and all the common amenities were in good working condition.

We didn’t get to use the porch due to weather, but we did get an exciting visit from a banana slug. Out the back is the owner’s house, and while you do have to walk past it into what is essentially their backyard, you do have access to the benches that overlook a stunning view of the ocean. We sat there for hours watching the sunset. Going to the beach requires a short hike and the return is quite steep, which might be a problem for some. The beach itself is scenic and sandy with a rocky section full of tide pools.

Overall, we were quite satisfied, and it was exactly what we were looking for to quietly ring in the new year.

Thank you for the restorative vacation!

Absolutely charming cottage. The town was adorable! The views were amazing. Very close to the Redwoods. We had a delightful time.

This quaint cottage is sitting some very beautiful property with a view that is very hard to beat! The very first night there the sunset was awe inspiring. Deep orange and pink. Beautiful. The location is remote enough to be private but within five minutes of town. It’s close to several beaches that are must see! Everything was perfect, the town has wonderful people. The views demand attention. The hosts were very nice. Inside the cottage is a book full of ideas about the area. The place was stocked very well for cooking. Very clean and accommodating. Just beautiful. I WILL return here one day for another visit. It’s great for couples but it’s just as great for solo travelers like me.

We enjoyed this cottage by the Pacific Ocean. It had everything we needed and is close to the National and State Redwoods parks. We really enjoyed our time in this unique area.

We had a fantastic time in Trinidad. The cabin was perfect. Everything we could have hoped for.

This is a lovely little spot, tranquil and exceedingly beautiful

What a great cabin! It was clean and well decorated. Beautiful property with cliffside views of the pacific. Quick walk to the gorgeous rock strewn beach and a 20 min drive to Red Wood National Park. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a northern CA getaway. :-)

Exactly as described. We felt very comfortable staying there, as if it were a home away from home. We'll be back!

We had a ton of fun riding our ebikes around Trinidad, eating seafood, kayaking, and trying the restaurants down in Arvada. The cottage was put together very nicely with everything you might need. We appreciated the coffee machine and the self check in.

A nice, quiet location near the coast. A small walk down the hill to enjoy the view. We love the northern California coastline and redwoods nearby.

Manager's Response

We had a great experience staying in the cottage. It was clean and so nice on the inside. The view from the sitting area down the hill was gorgeous. We enjoyed reading outside on the deck. We drove on the scenic road several times which was also nice.

This place was perfect for the two of us. It is small, but very nice and well appointed. Centrally located and very quiet. We would stay here again.

My mother and I loved this place. We sat everyday on the char by the overlook and saw whales one day. The house was cozy and clean . The best was comfortable. The beaches below are all walking distance and town is a short drive away.

Location was great, property was well-maintained and quiet. It rained a lot so the parking space was muddy- needs some gravel. Cottage had everything we needed and the bed was the most comfortable of our entire trip! The view from the yard of the main house was amazing, although we did feel like we were intruding when we walked over there so we didn't hang out long. I would definitely recommend this property!

This was a wonderful honeymoon getaway rental with a beautiful view of the ocean just a few steps outside the door! We loved the stay and will definitely be back!

Excellent location for a private getaway. Nearby community has everything you need and beautiful scenery.

As we drove within one mile of this cottage, I had tears in my eyes. Loved the location and since it was dusk when we arrived, the sun was setting over the ocean. It was beautiful! I took many wonderful photographs of this breathtaking ocean view. We loved the cottage. It suited our needs completely. We wanted to fix our own meals and the kitchen was equiped with everything we needed. I loved the enterior decor and we had ample heat from the electric stove that was controlled with a thermostat for the chilly March nights. My husband, using the outdoor grill, made perfect steaks for an evening meal. The bathroom was so cutely decorated. I loved the yellow decor and the skylight that gave an added feeling of openness. We were happy that this place was only 24 miles south of the Redwood National Park. We drove there each of the two days during our stay. It was a wonderful experience. An added bonus was seeing the Gray Whales. They start their migration from the southern California coastline up towards the Artic Ocean during the months of March and April. We would love to stay in this lovely little cottage for two when we return to California again to see the National Parks and enjoy driving along the California coastline.

We had a relaxing great visit to TrinidAd. Would highly recommend staying here.

The cottage has everything you need, I was impressed there were some basic items left in the kitchen. Very confortable and cozy...

Manager's Response

The place was clean but the advertisement for the property is misleading. You are basically in front of someone’s personal residence. There was a house there with a family. You do not feel as secluded as the pictures show the property to be. The parking spot is horrible if you own a full size vehicle. When it says beach front access, that’s also a lie. You have to either walk a long way or drive to get to a beach. And you feel boxed in because you don’t want to disturb the homeowners in front of the property. They have the real ocean view. I will say it was clean and the bed is comfortable, but we will not be staying there again if we stay in a rental property in Trinidad.

This was a great place to go out to the beaches anywhere around Eureka Bay, especially north. There were many state beaches and coves with easy access as well as redwood groves. Trinidad grocery store has everything you would need.

My vacation rental experience was enchanting, restorative, therapeutic and healing for me!

We stayed in the Windrose Cottage while visiting the Redwoods. The cottage was clean and the location was perfect being between the Humboldt National Park and the Redwoods National Park. Having a gorgeous ocean view only a few steps away was a great perk. My only complaint is that the only shower requires you to sit in a large tub. That would normally be fine, but I have fibromyalgia making it very hard for me to get in and out of the tub.

Manager's Response

wonderful stay at this small cottage. perfect for one or two people. views were amazing and the location was ideal. would definitely visit again if we had the opportunity. clawfoot style tub was great and charming -- but it might be helpful to note there isn't a shower (only a shower hose/tub). kitchen was well stocked. enjoyed being disconnected. thank you!

We love this place and plan to return soon. We played latter golf on the lawn and enjoyed a beautiful sunset our first afternoon. The owner was very friendly and informative. The gas wood stove was a treat, but the thermostat on the kitchen wall didn't seem to work.

A clean, adorable,private cottage on a beautiful property with incredible views. Great location with easy access to local beaches and the redwoods. Perfect for a romantic getaway, but spacious enough to include an infant (if you must). The property owner is very gracious while granting privacy, and the rental company quickly responded to any questions. This place is a gem. I'll definitely return.

Manager's Response

The cottage was a perfect retreat. The view is amazing, the cottage was immaculate, and the staff from Trinidad retreats was so helpful along the way preparing up to our stay. We could not have had a more perfect stay. We will definitely be returning. I highly recommend Trinidad retreats and the Windrose cottage.

I had a wonderful stay in this peaceful environment. I came alone for my sons graduation but will certainly come back with my wife.
