We loved staying at this beautiful home. You can’t beat the views! It was a perfect location for us to come back to after a day of exploring tide pools or hiking in the redwoods to soak in the hot tub and listen to the waves below us. We would definitely stay here again.

We love everything about this property! It's clean with gorgeous views and a comfy bed. We appreciate the walk-in shower and couldn't have been more comfortable than we were. The kitchen was well stocked as we, mostly, cooked in! This host is diligent and truly cares about his guests... we hope to visit again soon!

Our stay in the Garage House was amazing. Walking into the house and seeing the views of the ocean was spectacular. The house is comfortable with everything we needed. It was convenient to the town of Trinidad, the redwoods and beaches and restaurants. We hope to stay there again in the future. We highly recommend the Garage House in Trinidad

I usually write a long review about the amazing ocean views and how lovely it is to unwind in their hot tub overlooking the Pacific with a glass of wine after an afternoon of hiking. But I'll just leave it at this: This was our 7th stay in 8 years. We wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else!

This was our fourth year staying at Bill's Garage House, and we once again had a lovely time! It's comfortable, convenient to many, many hikes, and the views overlooking the ocean are just jaw-dropping! The hot tub is also a highlight for us. Bill has an apple tree that had an abundance of apples this year, and encouraged us to take some, so we made an apple pie for Thanksgiving! Thanks Bill!

We very much enjoyed staying at this property. The accommodations were comfortable and clean. The rooms were very pretty and well maintained. The best part of this rental is the view. Main room and bedroom both face the ocean and the view from each is stunning. There is a deck with the same view and we loved sitting out there watching the sunset. We would definitely rent here again.
