Moonstone Beach Retreat - Beach Lover's Getaway -

The house was nice and roomy with comfortable beds. The kitchen was well appointed with newer appliances. The location was great for visiting the state redwood parks. And the property managers were very responsive to my requests. My only problem was I had hundreds of ants on the kitchen island. I never figured out where they were coming from but even with the ant traps and spray that the property managers provided, I couldn't get rid of them totally even though I didn't eat nor have food in the house. I think the property would benefit from a professional pest control treatment.

We had a wonderful stay at Moonstone Beach! This house is just a short walk to the beach. My family loved the location and the house was perfectly comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful views, fun with the family, walk to the beach, with a functional kitchen in a clean home.

It was perfect in every way! Even the rain didn't put a damper on things. Lots of rest and relaxation. Thank you!

This is a great spot!

This is a fantastic place to stay! It was clean, comfortable with all the amenities and thoughtful details. It was our sons graduation and all four of us were so comfortable in the home with a fantastic view as well. This stay was a real bonus to the graduation experience. Thank you so much for letting us stay at such a wonderful home!

A great house with beautiful windows along the entire front of the house, open to nature and sunshine! We had gorgeous fall weather during our stay and our family lives close by so was a perfect spot for us to come together for walks and play at the beach, suppers and card games! Remodeled kitchen and open areas bright and clean as was the bathroom! I’m always thinking of a night light in rentals and that was perhaps the only thing missing! Management was excellent with our few requests, no loud traffic issues noted and both bedrooms have blackout curtains and blinds, very comfortable beds!

We had a wonderful time staying here. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfy and the view was spectacular. We were not at all. Othered by traffic noise, either during the day or at night. You can walk to the beach or to the delicious restaurant just down the hill, and you can see the ocean (or the fog) just by looking out the many living room windows. We also really enjoyed putting together the many puzzles they had on offer. We would definitely stay here again.

Pleasant kitchen area. Shower good. On Noisy road and steep hill, not easily accessible. In need of upgrades: dreary drapes, peeling deck paint, chipped dishes. Adequate but there a probably better choices. Multiple fees annoying.

Nice home in an amazing location. Huge common area with open floor plan. Modern kitchen with a nice set of pots/pans/knifes, etc. Great views of the mouth of the Little River. 5 minutes from "downtown" Trinidad. Prompt responses property management. We'll be back.

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at this house. It has beautiful all-around windows with great views and extremely peaceful. The house had all the amenities we were looking for. Great location and you can see the ocean and sunset right from inside the house

Easy walk to the beach.

Immaculate rental! Nicely equipped kitchen. Good natural lighting, which was important to us as we planned to paint and scrapbook.
The ocean view is possible from one side of living room. This was a bit disappointing to us at first. However, the central location was a real plus! Easy to zip into Trinidad, get on freeway to Eureka, and The Moonstone Grill was right down the street from us. One evening, I had the PERFECT meal which we enjoyed with champagne. Make a reservation.
Also, Trinidad Retreats was a delight to work with, answering our questions quickly and fully.

This house was lovely. Modern, with good kitchen and spacious living quarters. A view to die for. I spent most of my time at the house sitting on the deck with a beer and my computer. Then near sunset my wife and I would drive one minute down to the beach, which was beautiful. The house was about half an hour from stunning redwoods, which we visited every day. Found Katy's smoked fish in Trinidad near the end of our stay. And we had no problems with the noise from the street (we always have a bit of white noise going when we sleep). Would definitely come back.

We had a great month's stay at Moonstone Beach Retreat. The house was clean, very spacious, & beds comfortable, but the best part of staying there was the phenomenal view of Clam Beach & Little River. The house is very close to Hwy 101, but traffic noise wasn't much of an issue for us. We prepared most of our meals at the house. The kitchen was great but would suggest adding some measuring spoons & a set of measuring cups, plus a tea kettle. The house was centrally located for all our Humboldt County explorations. We went as far south as Ferndale & as far north as Redwoods National Park. Loved the views & our hike in Lost Coast Preserve near Centerville Beach, west of Ferndale. Explored Humboldt Botanical Gardens by College of the Redwoods, plus drove thru the farmlands of Ferndale, also to the South Jetty, & the Eureka Marina. Beach combed Mad River Beach(found lots of sand dollars), Clam Beach, Moonstone Beach(walking distance to the rental house),& Luffenholz Beach & Houda Point(also walking distance to the house). Walked the Rim Trail at Patrick's Point St Pk & the Trillium Falls Trail at Prairie Creek Redwoods St Pk, plus other trails in Redwoods Ntl Pk. Loved staying at Moonstone Beach Retreat!!!

The house had a nice view and was an easy walk to the beach. Unfortunately, it is located on a well-traveled street and is literally 100 feet from the freeway. Noise from passing traffic was considerable day and night, and overpowered the sound of the surf most of the time. Headlights from passing traffic were visible all night in both bedrooms (no window coverings on the windows facing the road). the neighbors’ outside lighting burned into the main living area and one of the bedrooms from dusk to dawn. The window covering in the bedroom was inadequate to block out the light. The hosts were non-responsive when asked if there were something that could be done about the lights. No response of any kind.
Bring earplugs and eyeshades if you stay here.
