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.

Great Getaway!
We stayed here in 2023 and just had to return in July 0f 2024 - this is the perfect place for tranquility, privacy, peace and relaxation. Perfect place to eat outside on the patio as the sun is setting and waves crash on the rocks down below.

Beautiful property
When we drove up to the house, we were excited by the view of the ocean and the many sea stacks. The house has lovely art and overall is just beautiful. Some of the Russian artwork brought about interesting conversations. We loved Agate Beach, and Just hanging in the front yard. The Trinidad Retreat Contract is extensive and I found them to be formal. Overall it was a great vacation.

We would love to live here.
All I can say we were sad there were only two nights available for our stay but so thankful we were able to stay the two nights. It is a cool place in every way. Unbelievable location that is breathtaking! Immaculate, picturesque, decor true to the bones of the home. We are trying to figure out how to get back during another season.

Picturesque and Private Family Getaway
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: We were impressed with the ample room for our 3-night stay in Trinidad. The view of the Pacific was inspiring (while foggy all 3 days, it gave an atmospheric brooding quality). The location was a short drive to enjoyable food options and beaches, and an hour from multiple redwood groves. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would highly recommend this cabin for some outdoor beauty and enjoyment.
