Secret Beach Retreat 1 Ocean Front nearTrinidad CA

Guest suite is on the first floor, with a private entrance (sorry, not wheel chair friendly, up 8 steps). Cozy, clean, secluded and quiet 10 acres, perched on a bluff 190’ above the Pacific Ocean and Secret Beach with stunning ocean views. There is a mini fridge, coffee maker, microwave and hot water kettle. But there is NO kitchen for cooking or living room. Only a well appointed bedroom, Queen Bed, and large private bathroom.

Tile floors throughout the room and large private bathroom.
Large private deck looking at the pacific ocean and sea stacks. Public access trail down to the beach cover is on the property. This trail is beautiful but steep and typically muddy in the winter time or during heavy rains.

The property is secluded and not visible from the road.

Sorry, I do NOT allow pets. 5 DAY MAXIMUM STAY

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!

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.

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. ♡

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.
