About this property

Crabber's Cottage - Walk to Beach, In Town, Comfortable

  • Crabber’s Cottage offers a quiet, comfortable stay in the heart of Trinidad, just steps from the best the town has to offer. Bay, ocean, and pier views are just around the corner, and nearby trails provide easy access to Trinidad Head, Trinidad State Beach, and Old Home Beach. Guests will also enjoy being within easy walking distance of local favorites, including The Eatery and The Beachcomber.

    This newly remodeled one-bedroom cottage accommodates up to two guests and features a king bed for a restful night’s sleep. For guests who prefer separate sleeping arrangements, the living room includes a new queen sofa sleeper and a 50'' Smart T.V., a perfect way to unwind after a long day of hiking. The space is thoughtfully decorated with charm and simplicity, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchenette is equipped with a microwave, toaster oven, and coffee maker, ideal for light meal preparation (please note there is no stove or oven).

    The cottage also includes a spacious full bathroom and convenient driveway parking. With its prime location near town dining, beaches, and the redwoods, Crabber’s Cottage offers excellent value for travelers seeking comfort, simplicity, and convenience.

    For those looking to explore beyond town, Prairie Creek Redwoods State and National Parks are just a 30-minute drive away, offering more than 100 miles of scenic trails through ancient redwood forests, including the iconic Fern Canyon.

Trinidad is the best little town right in a beautiful harbor full of boats. Rental is right in town next to a little winery and art gallery. The winery and gallery has live music which made a beautiful ambiance.

. Went to Trinidad to be close to redwood national park but also to experience a little of northern California’s rugged northern coast. Trinidad looked ideally situated and it proved to be so. The house is exactly as described on Expedia with walking access to both downtown Trinidad and the beach. An added bonus was walking access to the Trinidad head trail and its marvelous view of the coast. The house was clean and cozy, just perfect for a solo traveler or a couple looking to get away. Could not recommend it highly enough.
