Amazing get-a-way

Property manager was very accommodating & left some special touches that made out trip. We didn't pay attention to no kitchenette, however the microwave & mini fridge was perfect for quick breakfast & housing our sack lunches. The private beach & peaceful seclusion from town...2nd to none! Was in a centralized location to all the Redwood ventures on our list & grabbing dinner in Trinidad (the cutest, quite little town) was pleasant as well. We actually stopped back through to walk the pier & beach on our way back to the airport. TRULY the best spot to enjoy the California Coastal Redwoods!

Very comfortable with an amazing view in the Redwood Forest.

The lovely suite is very comfortable, and the property owner was great. The deck has an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean, and access to the water. The town of Trinidad is small and charming with a beach to walk while enjoying gorgeous sunsets. The location in the Redwood Forest is perfect for exploration of the many trails and landmarks.

Great stay and wonderful host.

Let the reviews speak for themselves. This place is five star all the way. John was a wonderful host. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed including breakfast for the first morning, fresh filtered water, fresh flowers, and detailed recommendations for the next leg our trip. The space was exactly as listed… even better. Super clean and private. Very comfortable bed and nice plush towels. Stay here! But beware .. you will be spoiled!

Beautiful spot, perfect facilities!

The property is beautiful and the view is superb! The room is clean and modern and just what is needed for two people. Trail access is a nice bonus. John is a marvelous host who is attentive to guests needs, but completely non-intrusive! In fact, while we communicated via text messages, we never met face-to-face, although he made it clear that we could meet if we chose to do so. We just loved this place and our stay at Secret Beach!

Great room, cute town

We loved our stay at Secret beach! The whole property is beautiful and well maintained with a gorgeous view of the ocean! The room was super cozy, really clean, and had just about everything we needed. Communication with the owner was also very easy and reliable. Trinidad is a cute little town that we wandered through, and found a great little hike just out of the beach parking lot. 100 percent recommend!

Very Special Place

Wonderful and amazing view, very peaceful and private, impeccably clean, with very nice and comfy bedding. It is an easy walk to College Cove beach which is spectacular. John does a great job of making you feel welcome, but giving you your privacy also. A truly unique and remarkable location. We can't wait to return!

Hidden Gem

This hidden gem captures your heart before you even reach the property! As we were approaching the property we were in awe with the beauty of the forest. John was so friendly and made our stay so enjoyable. He told us about an event in town that he thought we might enjoy and had a fresh loaf of sour dough bread and hard boiled eggs in the room as a welcome. I have already told a few friends about this amazing find!! Don’t think any longer, this is a great spot. We spent a day exploring downtown Trinidad and learning about the history of this beautiful areas! I would definitely come back if I ever make it back to the area. It was a wonderful mother/daughter stay. John’s pictures are right on! I hope you find yourself there one day!

Our first sea side stay.

We love this place, totally private and secret. John is the perfect host. The couple minutes it takes from town to the SBR… is amazing all by itself. The small secret beach was a bit slippery and muddy close to the bottom but we made it down. The deck is unbelievable and the room was really clean and nice. I would stay again.

Deserving of its perfect ratings! From a seasoned trader.

Gorgeous location, breathtaking ocean/ sea-stack views. Big west facing deck with great chairs & a roof protecting from all but the most blowing rains. Many coastal hiking trails, very close by. Cozy super clean room/bath, well stocked with lots of little extras. John is a most accommodating & wonderful host! Very available if you need him but invisible if you want privacy. Great Wi-Fi. Solar battery back up if the power goes out ( very common in these parts in winter). All the positive reviews for the Secret Beach Retreat are well deserved! Thanks John for sharing this beautiful piece of Nature with us!

Ocean view/Private/Secret Beach

Nothing beats that ocean view. It was absolutely beautiful. When I booked the place I wasnt aware the owner lived on the property, I was a little hesitant but in all 4 days spent there I didnt see a soul. Very private. The hike down to the beach is frosting on cake. Bring an extra pair of hiking boots lots of mud and water on all near by trails. Would def stay here again. ♡

I was blown away by this property. In addition to a million dollar view, the room is clean and thoughtfully equipped. John provides excellent communication and is very helpful. He knows how to give guests privacy and also make himself accessible if needed. I cannot recommend this enough. We would love to visit again.

Excellent little quiet getaway for solo travelers or couples. The view from the property and the deck is breathtakingly beautiful. I got a chance to meet the property owner John, and he was very friendly and more than happy to provide any information I needed. The local loaf of bread and hard boiled eggs left in the room for guests were a nice touch. Lots of local eateries with a mile of the property. I hope I get a chance to visit again soon.

Trinidad Secret Beach Retreat

This place was even nicer than the photos depicted! Immaculately clean, and obviously new construction. Comfy bed, GORGEOUS view of the ocean waves crashing onto the rocks below, nice chairs on the deck to watch the sunset. Vase of beautiful fresh flowers on the deck table! Host John had provided a loaf of local fresh sourdough bread, butter and jelly, freshly ground coffee, and also hard boiled eggs in our fridge! What a welcoming touch. He gave us good tips on some great hikes through the redwoods too! The steep trail down to the beach was fun! But would NOT recommend for someone not in shape, as it would probably be pretty challenging for some. There was a rope swing on a tree mid way down the trail, perfect to stop and rest or photo op. No tv on the room, but didn’t miss it since we were exhausted from our daily hikes and also brought a book to read. It was a little strange to only communicate with host through text and never see him, but we also felt very private and secluded even though he lives upstairs. There were lots of good restaurants in town just a minute or two drive from the house, a nice little grocery store for supplies, and I still can’t get over the fabulous views of the ocean at almost every turn, and of course an easy drive to see the big trees. I would highly recommend staying here at Secret Beach Retreat!
