Sanctuary House in Trinidad did not disappoint! Gorgeous home and gorgeous view, first of all. But also: comfy bed, great hot tub with a view of the ocean, all the amenities in the kitchen, access to cable TV, many cozy spots to sit inside and out to enjoy the peace. PRIVATE. Quiet. I could go on! We found a couple things broken in the kitchen (for our coffee making!) and the property managers took care of things as quickly as humanly possible! Thank you!!

I begin with the driveway onto the property, it felt like a secluded area, and the SMELL was wonderfully intoxicating because of all the trees and plants. Being greeted by the water fountain was an excellent greeting, then to see the architecture even more wonderful than the photos can show was a great pleasure, especially since the seascape and landscape could be seen through the back and front windows. Wow! What a fantastic way to enter into a home. Immediately we felt the coziness of this place because of all the decor furniture artwork and comforts of home placed so invitingly. The cleanliness was superb. Thank you for that! Also, thank you for everything being kept up and not one thing being in any way raggedy. One thing that would help with some comfort is an AC, but if not to be, screens on the windows so that we don’t get the little flying bugs. Everything was well stocked. I really felt the luxuriousness of this place with all the fine linens bedding towels robes blankets pillows and throw pillows on the sofas, and the fine furniture bathroom fixtures and sinks and showers and beautiful windows and how they operate. I could keep going, but that gives everything away, experience for yourself, you won’t regret it. Instead you’ll make an excellent memory. We would stay again and again and again . . .

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 house is so interesting and so well designed for living. You can see the ocean from the entire back of the house, and big sliding doors open to the patios, so the breeze can come in all the time. There are several spots around the property that are perfect for sitting and reflecting on the surrounding beauty. The house is very clean and extremely comfortable. The kitchen is a delight - we stayed in for all of our dinners because it was so easy to prepare meals with all of the cookware, utensils, dishes, spices, etc, and we thought it a shame to give up the outstanding setting for an enclosed restaurant! The property manager was easy to work with and quick to respond to our questions. We just loved our entire stay and we didn't want to leave! Thank you for sharing this perfect refuge!

This VRBO has rated a "10" for us - we have never had a vacation rated a 10 yet! I have never seen a more beautiful perfect house on a more perfect spot. I hate t write a review full of words like "gorgeous". "beautiful", "peaceful", etc, etc. We were so sad to leave it. We arrived with perfect weather, sunny and with the view of the islands taking our breath away. And after two days the fog rolled in. All we could think of was Robert Frost's poem "Fog" and how apt it was. It was gorgeous and so calm. We decided to take the day off and just enjoy the beauty of the house. My husband was recovering from surgery so it was perfect for us to have a day of quiet. The house was prepared for us, many interesting books, games to play, hot tub. We lacked for nothing. Only issue was that the kitchen was so incredible that it was difficult to decide if we should work and cook something delicious or if we should just relax and go to one of the wonderful restaurants for seafood. Seafood won! I have no suggestion for anything that might need to be improved on. Improvement at this VRBO would be impossible. Thank you for sharing your incredible home with us!

This is the second time I've been able to stay at this stunning home. It's so beautiful that we resisted the temptation to adventure out each day and instead spend time hanging out and enjoying just being there, cooking, reading and relaxing. The kitchen is absolutely wonderful and so well stocked with the basics and every appliance one might need to prepare gourmet meals. Great beds and beautiful linens. We felt pampered!

Absolutely stunning, well-appointed home and property. Upon arrival, you're met with sprawling ocean views and windows galore in a private, wooded setting. The kitchen is a chef's dream, so we enjoyed most meals at the house. We left Sanctuary relaxed & rejuvenated - and will definitely be back. Tip: When exploring downtown Trinidad, be sure to stop by Katy's Smokehouse. We bought fresh scallops for our final dinner at the house. The owner shared meticulous instructions on how to prepare them. Best scallops ever!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We cannot wait to return to the Sanctuary House! The home is beautiful, quiet, modern and well-supplied; exactly as described. We could have stared at the view all day, but managed to peel ourselves away long enough to enjoy the area and nearby redwood forests, which are some of our favorite in northern California. Of course, I'd prefer this house and area remain a well-kept secret, but I cannot recommend either enough. And the reservation and check-in / check-out process was a breeze ... a great experience overall. Thanks!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The easiest way to describe this magnificent house and view is for you to go to a thesaurus and look up the word, “spectacular”. Virtually all of the words apply; from its eye-popping architecture, to its relaxing splendor, to the unparalleled ocean view. Will we come back?OMG...YES! In a heartbeat. This is one of those “memorable” houses you’ll be talking about forever. (I couldn’t be more serious about that. 😉👍)

This is the second time I've been able to stay at this stunning home. It's so beautiful that we resisted the temptation to adventure out each day and instead spend time hanging out and enjoying just being there, cooking, reading and relaxing. The kitchen is absolutely wonderful and so well stocked with the basics and every appliance one might need to prepare gourmet meals. Great beds and beautiful linens. We felt pampered!

Absolutely stunning, well-appointed home and property. Upon arrival, you're met with sprawling ocean views and windows galore in a private, wooded setting. The kitchen is a chef's dream, so we enjoyed most meals at the house. We left Sanctuary relaxed & rejuvenated - and will definitely be back. Tip: When exploring downtown Trinidad, be sure to stop by Katy's Smokehouse. We bought fresh scallops for our final dinner at the house. The owner shared meticulous instructions on how to prepare them. Best scallops ever!

Sanctuary House in Trinidad did not disappoint! Gorgeous home and gorgeous view, first of all. But also: comfy bed, great hot tub with a view of the ocean, all the amenities in the kitchen, access to cable TV, many cozy spots to sit inside and out to enjoy the peace. PRIVATE. Quiet. I could go on! We found a couple things broken in the kitchen (for our coffee making!) and the property managers took care of things as quickly as humanly possible! Thank you!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We cannot wait to return to the Sanctuary House! The home is beautiful, quiet, modern and well-supplied; exactly as described. We could have stared at the view all day, but managed to peel ourselves away long enough to enjoy the area and nearby redwood forests, which are some of our favorite in northern California. Of course, I'd prefer this house and area remain a well-kept secret, but I cannot recommend either enough. And the reservation and check-in / check-out process was a breeze ... a great experience overall. Thanks!

Sanctuary House gave us everything we were looking for and more. From the approach, through the entirety of our stay, we were able to fully unwind physically and mentally. The house was exceptionally outfitted and left us wanting for nothing. We absolutely loved our stay. The property management company was wonderful to work with. They graciously and seamlessly accommodated us through an error we made which could have ruined our trip.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is so interesting and so well designed for living. You can see the ocean from the entire back of the house, and big sliding doors open to the patios, so the breeze can come in all the time. There are several spots around the property that are perfect for sitting and reflecting on the surrounding beauty. The house is very clean and extremely comfortable. The kitchen is a delight - we stayed in for all of our dinners because it was so easy to prepare meals with all of the cookware, utensils, dishes, spices, etc, and we thought it a shame to give up the outstanding setting for an enclosed restaurant! The property manager was easy to work with and quick to respond to our questions. We just loved our entire stay and we didn't want to leave! Thank you for sharing this perfect refuge!

After some challenging and difficult times at home on Maui the past year, this home in Trinidad was the perfect place to disconnect and restore. Though it was hard to leave the stunnung home views and gardens, the proximity to amazing hikes and drives made it a perfect “sanctuary” Mahalo for the opportunity. We will be back.

I begin with the driveway onto the property, it felt like a secluded area, and the SMELL was wonderfully intoxicating because of all the trees and plants. Being greeted by the water fountain was an excellent greeting, then to see the architecture even more wonderful than the photos can show was a great pleasure, especially since the seascape and landscape could be seen through the back and front windows. Wow! What a fantastic way to enter into a home. Immediately we felt the coziness of this place because of all the decor furniture artwork and comforts of home placed so invitingly. The cleanliness was superb. Thank you for that! Also, thank you for everything being kept up and not one thing being in any way raggedy. One thing that would help with some comfort is an AC, but if not to be, screens on the windows so that we don’t get the little flying bugs. Everything was well stocked. I really felt the luxuriousness of this place with all the fine linens bedding towels robes blankets pillows and throw pillows on the sofas, and the fine furniture bathroom fixtures and sinks and showers and beautiful windows and how they operate. I could keep going, but that gives everything away, experience for yourself, you won’t regret it. Instead you’ll make an excellent memory. We would stay again and again and again . . .

This VRBO has rated a "10" for us - we have never had a vacation rated a 10 yet! I have never seen a more beautiful perfect house on a more perfect spot. I hate t write a review full of words like "gorgeous". "beautiful", "peaceful", etc, etc. We were so sad to leave it. We arrived with perfect weather, sunny and with the view of the islands taking our breath away. And after two days the fog rolled in. All we could think of was Robert Frost's poem "Fog" and how apt it was. It was gorgeous and so calm. We decided to take the day off and just enjoy the beauty of the house. My husband was recovering from surgery so it was perfect for us to have a day of quiet. The house was prepared for us, many interesting books, games to play, hot tub. We lacked for nothing. Only issue was that the kitchen was so incredible that it was difficult to decide if we should work and cook something delicious or if we should just relax and go to one of the wonderful restaurants for seafood. Seafood won! I have no suggestion for anything that might need to be improved on. Improvement at this VRBO would be impossible. Thank you for sharing your incredible home with us!

This is the second time I've been able to stay at this stunning home. It's so beautiful that we resisted the temptation to adventure out each day and instead spend time hanging out and enjoying just being there, cooking, reading and relaxing. The kitchen is absolutely wonderful and so well stocked with the basics and every appliance one might need to prepare gourmet meals. Great beds and beautiful linens. We felt pampered!

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: My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at the Sanctuary House. The house was truly a sanctuary. The home's architecture/furnishings/its picturesque setting along the coast were incredible. The home is beautifully maintained and Hope with Trinidad was very helpful in making sure our stay was perfect. We definitely look forward to returning.

beautiful property, architecturally the home is fantastic and well done.. great location.. comfortable and had everything we needed. I am very sensitive to fragrances and the house didnt have any sprays, air fresheners etc. the linens were all washed with fragrance free detergents which made our stay even better. We will recommend and would stay again. thank you!
