Trinidad gem

Posted Sep. 8, 2024 on HomeAway
Trinidad is a hidden gem with beautiful views and beaches. The house was exactly as pictured in a nice neighborhood with views and close to local shops, grocery store and restaurants. It was very comfortable for our family of 6 but lacked some basics I've come to expect like at least a minimal amount of alum foil, plastic wrap, sugar etc. Not even a salt shaker! I also would have appreciated a bottle of cleaning fluid. The only thing provided was 2 rolls of paper towel, trash bags and a 2 oz. bottle of dish liquid. You get the listing from VRBO but end up with VACASA who is cumbersome to deal with. Communication with the local manager was difficult. Nevertheless, I would recommend the rental. Just make sure you bring your own salt.

Theodora, thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your stay. I am happy to hear the home was comfortable but sorry to hear it may have been lacking some amenities. In addition to our 1-800#, we do provide a direct local contact in the home and are always happy to bring any additional supplies upon request. We appreciate being made aware of the oversight and will work to ensure there is cleaning solution under the sink and any items we advertise have been restocked. Thank you again for your stay and I hope you will give us the opportunity to host you again.

Don't use Vacasa, rent from independent owners.

I recommend reading Vacasa's rules very carefully, as they are very different from dealing with human property owners, who are generally more understanding and flexible. We gave notice that terrible inclement weather (torrential rains and dangerous flooding) too concerning for us to travel to the area, hoping not to risk life and limb -- and offered to move our trip to a later date. Vacasa was not interested in offering any flexibility. It's basically the Uber of vacation rental property managers, and their only priority is to take your money. Don't even think about trying to get anyone helpful on the phone, should anything go wrong.

Great views and location

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. The ocean and restaurants were steps away. Plenty of Redwood hikes within a short drive.

Hidden treasure!

Posted Jul. 11, 2023 on HomeAway
If you’re planning a family vacation to the Redwoods and trying to figure out where to stay, stop scrolling and book now! Whalesong and the whole town of Trinidad is a charming, walkable treasure! The views from the back deck are beautiful, and the garden in back is incredibly private. There wasn’t one thing we didn’t like about our stay here. We have two kids, a teen and a preteen, and they didn’t want to leave. It’s not fancy, but it has everything you need with nicely updated bathrooms (with excellent water pressure if you care about that), a nice family-friendly game collection, and every book you could ever want to read. Seriously, just book it!

Place was very nice, communication not great though

Posted Jun. 30, 2023 on HomeAway
The cottage was great for our family including young-adult children. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was well-equipped and they layout was fantastic. We had one member who needed to do some work and there is a small upstairs "office" space and a desk in the laundry area that worked well for him. The upstairs deck was lovely, and the outside/backyard area was very pleasant. The location was fantastic - short walk to town or beach. Main downside was lack of communication both before the trip and during - you are dealing with a company rather than a single owner, and the instructions for getting in, communication in general was poor.
