About this property

Moonstone Beach Retreat - Beach Lover's Getaway -

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. *

Moonstone Beach Retreat, perched above beautiful Moonstone Beach is perfect for 2 couples, close friends or a small family looking for a relaxing beach getaway. Endless seascapes & mesmerizing sunset views just a few minutes walk down to the beach! The friendly owner has private quarters below with a separate entrance downstairs. She keeps to herself when visiting and respects guests' privacy. The endless views of Clam Beach and Little River combined with the proximity to Moonstone Beach make this home a great spot for exploring the North Coast. Moonstone Beach is a local family favorite beach that is best known for great surfing, kayaking and fun exploring with rocks to climb, tide pools, sea caves and pristine sand. Running and fitness enthusiasts will love taking the downhill stroll to Moonstone beach, crossing Little River and walking or running for miles on Clam Beach. On a low tide walking north on the beach will lead all the way to Camel Rock, a popular surf spot. After a day of exploring the Redwoods and beaches guests will love sitting on the South facing deck soaking up sunset views.

The open floor plan is spacious and bathed in natural light from the unadorned windows. This beach house is decorated with a mix of modern and vintage decor that creates a comfy vibe with a large contemporary sectional sofa plus 3 old fashioned rocking chairs perfect for lounging and enjoying movies on the large Smart TV. The open living room feels like a solarium with expansive windows without coverings that allow the outdoor views inside. The newly remodeled kitchen is fully equipped for all of your culinary and entertainment needs. The propane bbq is located on the deck just off the kitchen for easy grilling. This two bedroom, one bathroom home comfortably sleeps 4 adults and can accommodate 2 kids w/ twin rollaway beds. Each room has a queen bed and a fold out twin. The bathroom has a combination tub/shower. The full sized washer and dryer are conveniently located in the hall closet. Convenient parking in the driveway allows for two to three cars.

Moonstone Beach Retreat is located off of Scenic Drive running just below Hwy. 101 so this home is easy to access but may have some road noise along with the sounds of the sea. Drive less than three miles away from the seaside village of Trinidad which offers a full service grocery, restaurants, a wine tasting room, cafe, art gallery, museum, pier and pristine beaches. Explore nearby Trinidad Head's 45 minute loop trail with spectacular panoramic ocean views. Patrick's Point State Park just 5 miles North of Trinidad offers a plethora of outdoor activities such as hunting for agates, exploring tide pools, and hiking the majestic Elk Head Trail. Take a scenic 40 minute drive North to explore the majestic Redwood National and State Parks.

Great getaway

Really lovely location close to the beach and lovely views. Lots of windows and natural light. The tv is so far from the couch though haha just be prepared for a small viewing experience. But it is a smart tv so that was very nice. Perfect for a girls trip :)

Great location!

We arrived after dark & it was raining so could not locate property. Also, had no phone reception. Could not access info regarding property. Recommend you print specifics on access which I failed to do. When we returned the following day it was easy to locate & I had written down the details so easy to access. This property had a beautiful view of the ocean! It was well furnished & the kitchen had everything you needed. Recommend adding small tables with lamps by couch as overhead lights are very bright. Also, recommend that the binder in the home include specifics for accessing the TV. I would highly recommend this property!!

Saved our vacation

After driving 11 hours roundtrip to see the old growth redwood forests and northern California coastline, to our chagrin, we found the forest hiking trails closed due to excessive rain and the beaches inaccessible due to giant swells. Instead, we dined at various restaurants, went to the zoo, and spent the majority of our time at this excellent rental playing Dominoes, Jenga, and various board games we brought. I had an excellent time bonding with my 11 year old granddaughter,, my daughter, and son-in-law. It helps greatly that the rental was very clean and well appointed. I would like to stay here again when we return during the summer.

Family trip

My family and I were very happy with staying here. The house was spacious, comfortable and had a great view of the ocean. The kitchen had all you needed for eating in, which we cooked most of our meals. Communicating with the owners was very easy. We spent time at Moonstone beach collecting sand dollars. Drove the short drive up in to the Redwood national park. Sunsets at Honda Point were amazing! Would definitely come back!

Amazing View - Short walk to the beach!

The back bedroom has a treehouse feel there are so many trees surrounding it. The views looks south down Clam Beach to the Lost Coast when it is clear. Watching the tide change the height of Little River is fun. We had some friends up on the first night and the kitchen was great for hosting people, making drinks, and putting out food. We'd stay here again!

First time in California

This was our first experience with the great state of California and it was very memorable. The beach was a 2 minute drive and GORGEOUS. The house was just what we needed. It was a little hard to find the first time. A picture from Google Maps with arrows showing the easiest path to the front of the garage would be a welcomed addition to the email directions after booking. The location is ideal. Driving distance to many attractions and you can be home for a hot shower and bed! Loved the trip and how quiet the neighborhood was!
