Sanctuary House - Architectural Gem w/ Ocean Views!

* 3 night minimum stay required in high season. Guest reserving home must be 25 years or older, be staying at the property the entire time and will be considered the responsible party for this booking. Sorry but this is not a pet friendly home, no exceptions. *

North Coast Sanctuary is an architectural gem perched on four acres above the Pacific Ocean near the seaside village of Trinidad. An exclusive vacation home for those seeking a peaceful, uniquely tranquil experience where the beauty of art, architecture, and nature nourish the body and soul. The style and craftsmanship of this custom, luxurious, multi-level home is a one of a kind peaceful retreat filled with beautiful art and surrounded by the sights and sounds of the sea. A perfect getaway to restore the mind and body while gathering with family and friends. The interior design combines the elements of wood, glass, and slate in balance & harmony with the natural surroundings of Redwoods and sweeping ocean views. Guests will love relaxing in the hot tub while soaking up the breathtaking ocean views after a day hiking in the Redwoods. Outdoor entertaining galore w/ a propane bbq, horseshoe & fire pit for roasting marshmallows and staying warm while stargazing at night.

The spaciousness of this large coastal home on 4 pristine acres offers plenty of room to retreat inside or out! The open, airy concept allows for easy, fun filled gathering. Soak up the ocean views from all 3 luxurious bedroom suites of this estate. Sleep up to 6 adults & 2 kids w/ additional very small bunk bed room. Lounge in the upper living room and soak up the heat and ambiance of the gas fireplace while watching tv (extended cable and an active Netflix account for fun viewing). For a quieter place to relax, step down to the lower living room encased by large sliding glass windows, grab a drink from the wet bar and sink into the feeling of being surrounded by the sea. The large, open kitchen is a cook’s dream that includes: a large island with a gas stove & breakfast bar, high quality stainless steel appliances including an Electrolux oven, refrigerator w/ double freezer drawers, microwave, toaster oven, Keurig, French Press and a regular coffee maker for serious coffee drinkers! The shelves are stocked with a wonderful supply of pots & pans, dish & glassware for guest use.

Each of the deluxe bedrooms w/ King & Queen beds have en-suite baths. Step up a short stairway into the master suite, a romantic sanctuary w/ breathtaking seaside views, a gas fireplace, T.V., private balcony, bathroom w/ a large walk in shower and dual shower heads. Step down a short stairway to the 2nd bedroom, a lovely place to rest & relax with another King bed, T.V., desk, bath w/ a deep soaking tub & shower and large sliding glass doors that open onto the deck w/ a hot tub. The 3rd bedroom is located on the South wing of the home, offering privacy, more coastal views, a Queen bed and T.V., built-in desk for guests needing to work while away and a bathroom w/ a beautiful slate stall shower. There is an additional, very small room, best suited for children w/ a set of twin bunk beds for groups of up to 8. The powder room and laundry room are located down a nearby hallway.

The expansive lawn, gardens & decks create an outdoor oasis to get immersed in the sights and sounds of the sea. Take a short downhill walk (.3 mile) to Baker Beach, a secluded cove known for it's beauty and also preferred by clothing optional.

Absolutely stunning, well-appointed home and property. Upon arrival, you're met with sprawling ocean views and windows galore in a private, wooded setting. The kitchen is a chef's dream, so we enjoyed most meals at the house. We left Sanctuary relaxed & rejuvenated - and will definitely be back. Tip: When exploring downtown Trinidad, be sure to stop by Katy's Smokehouse. We bought fresh scallops for our final dinner at the house. The owner shared meticulous instructions on how to prepare them. Best scallops ever!

Much needed respite

Sanctuary House gave us everything we were looking for and more. From the approach, through the entirety of our stay, we were able to fully unwind physically and mentally. The house was exceptionally outfitted and left us wanting for nothing. We absolutely loved our stay. The property management company was wonderful to work with. They graciously and seamlessly accommodated us through an error we made which could have ruined our trip.

Perfect Retreat

After some challenging and difficult times at home on Maui the past year, this home in Trinidad was the perfect place to disconnect and restore. Though it was hard to leave the stunnung home views and gardens, the proximity to amazing hikes and drives made it a perfect “sanctuary” Mahalo for the opportunity. We will be back.

Great place to relax and recharge

This is the second time I've been able to stay at this stunning home. It's so beautiful that we resisted the temptation to adventure out each day and instead spend time hanging out and enjoying just being there, cooking, reading and relaxing. The kitchen is absolutely wonderful and so well stocked with the basics and every appliance one might need to prepare gourmet meals. Great beds and beautiful linens. We felt pampered!

Spectacular!

Sanctuary House in Trinidad did not disappoint! Gorgeous home and gorgeous view, first of all. But also: comfy bed, great hot tub with a view of the ocean, all the amenities in the kitchen, access to cable TV, many cozy spots to sit inside and out to enjoy the peace. PRIVATE. Quiet. I could go on! We found a couple things broken in the kitchen (for our coffee making!) and the property managers took care of things as quickly as humanly possible! Thank you!!

The house is beautifully constructed, maintained and comfortable it truly can't be beat. Last year the calendar was already booked and we resorted to staying at another property - we won't make that mistake again. Sanctuary is the best of the best.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We cannot wait to return to the Sanctuary House! The home is beautiful, quiet, modern and well-supplied; exactly as described. We could have stared at the view all day, but managed to peel ourselves away long enough to enjoy the area and nearby redwood forests, which are some of our favorite in northern California. Of course, I'd prefer this house and area remain a well-kept secret, but I cannot recommend either enough. And the reservation and check-in / check-out process was a breeze ... a great experience overall. Thanks!

A true refuge of peace and beauty

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is so interesting and so well designed for living. You can see the ocean from the entire back of the house, and big sliding doors open to the patios, so the breeze can come in all the time. There are several spots around the property that are perfect for sitting and reflecting on the surrounding beauty. The house is very clean and extremely comfortable. The kitchen is a delight - we stayed in for all of our dinners because it was so easy to prepare meals with all of the cookware, utensils, dishes, spices, etc, and we thought it a shame to give up the outstanding setting for an enclosed restaurant! The property manager was easy to work with and quick to respond to our questions. We just loved our entire stay and we didn't want to leave! Thank you for sharing this perfect refuge!

4 days in Dreamland!

This VRBO has rated a "10" for us - we have never had a vacation rated a 10 yet! I have never seen a more beautiful perfect house on a more perfect spot. I hate t write a review full of words like "gorgeous". "beautiful", "peaceful", etc, etc. We were so sad to leave it. We arrived with perfect weather, sunny and with the view of the islands taking our breath away. And after two days the fog rolled in. All we could think of was Robert Frost's poem "Fog" and how apt it was. It was gorgeous and so calm. We decided to take the day off and just enjoy the beauty of the house. My husband was recovering from surgery so it was perfect for us to have a day of quiet. The house was prepared for us, many interesting books, games to play, hot tub. We lacked for nothing. Only issue was that the kitchen was so incredible that it was difficult to decide if we should work and cook something delicious or if we should just relax and go to one of the wonderful restaurants for seafood. Seafood won! I have no suggestion for anything that might need to be improved on. Improvement at this VRBO would be impossible. Thank you for sharing your incredible home with us!

A True “Sanctuary” in Trinidad

I begin with the driveway onto the property, it felt like a secluded area, and the SMELL was wonderfully intoxicating because of all the trees and plants. Being greeted by the water fountain was an excellent greeting, then to see the architecture even more wonderful than the photos can show was a great pleasure, especially since the seascape and landscape could be seen through the back and front windows. Wow! What a fantastic way to enter into a home. Immediately we felt the coziness of this place because of all the decor furniture artwork and comforts of home placed so invitingly. The cleanliness was superb. Thank you for that! Also, thank you for everything being kept up and not one thing being in any way raggedy. One thing that would help with some comfort is an AC, but if not to be, screens on the windows so that we don’t get the little flying bugs. Everything was well stocked. I really felt the luxuriousness of this place with all the fine linens bedding towels robes blankets pillows and throw pillows on the sofas, and the fine furniture bathroom fixtures and sinks and showers and beautiful windows and how they operate. I could keep going, but that gives everything away, experience for yourself, you won’t regret it. Instead you’ll make an excellent memory. We would stay again and again and again . . .
