### Recent Reviews
- **Anonymous**: "Cozy cabin with stunning views! Short walk to the beach and Moonstone Grill. This was the perfect getaway spot!" (5/5)
- **Anonymous**: "Amazing windows and deck to take in the fresh air and views! The entire property is oriented to take in vistas. The two blue chairs swivel and we kept them turned to the view during our entire stay. Well-equipped kitchen - like, really amazing for cooks! We roasted a whole chicken in the oven and made breakfast daily. Bed was comfy. Lots of linens, extra blankets. Great access to beach - if you can walk down/up steep hill, great. Otherwise, you might find parking below in lot. Great location to shops just south and the Parks to the north. A coastal gem." (5/5)
- **Eva  V.**: "A great place to stay." (5/5)
- **Anonymous**: "This was our 2nd time staying at the Sandpiper House and it did not disappoint. We go the the Redwoods to hike but Trinidad has the ocean and this house has the views. It's just a delightful place to come back to each day. It's perfect for us." (5/5)
- **Anonymous**: "Location is great but serious plumbing issues on this older rental. My husband and I went for our wedding anniversary and the septic system failed while we were there. It took two hours for water to drain from the shower and the toilet would back up after a few flushes and take two hours to drain. No toilet plunger. When we did flush the toilet you could hear it gurgling in the shower and kitchen sink. We notified the property management company immediately and while they sent someone out to address, it was never fixed and we did not hear any follow up from them for the remaining 2 days we were there. My husband had called and left a voicemail and texted but didn't hear follow up. Ended up skipping showers as a result and not flushing the toilet every time we went to the bathroom. Bummer experience." (1/5)
- **Rachael W.**: "This vacation rental was excellent for relaxing. Very short drive to Moonstone Beach and situated in a quiet neighborhood. The deck was appointed with comfy chairs and a grill. The bedroom has a comfortable king bed and windows that allow the sun and sounds from the ocean in." (5/5)
- **Jenean L.**: "A lovely beach house located close enough to the mountains and the big trees. Beach house was nicely appointed and a great stay for three days for a couple. Bed was really comfortable and kitchen had everything you needed. While the weather was cool, we didn't get that much of a chance to sit on the porch, one day, the sun came out and we watched the sunset. So relaxing. Trinidad is really the best place to stay out of all of the small cities near the Redwood State Park. Stay away from Eureka." (5/5)
- **Alicia H.**: "Home away from home. Our fantasy would be to buy this place. Only real complaint is no screen door. Used to have one 3 years ago when we started renting. With warmer weather, not many windows open in main room. Will miss this place when son graduates." (4/5)
- **Anonymous**: "A perfect place for two people and a dog. We are definitely coming back." (5/5)
- **Laurie S.**: "The Sandpiper is such a wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable and well stocked with everything you need. Great location, pretty views and a short walk to Moonstone Beach. Highly recommend!!" (5/5)
