Clean, everything you would need to prepare any meal. Good coffee waiting to be brewed! (Much appreciated!) Hot tub was perfect-clean & privately placed. Very private property in the midst of Westhaven. Garden landscaping was beautiful! Highly recommend!
The house was beautiful and had all the amenities that we needed for our girls weekend away. It was super clean quiet and close to beaches and trails and little shops and restaurants and a super friendly grocery store. The house had everything thing we needed ( pots pans utensils etc) to be able to cook a homemade meal and relax with friends. The home was very warm and inviting.
Beautiful place, perfectly located. Right at Moonstone Beach and really close to the NP. The host was extremely responsive. We had a couple small issues and they were very quick to address. Overall I’m very happy and I would stay there many times over.
Wonderful place, quiet and peaceful, just what we wanted/needed. The place was very clean and comfortable. The mattress was very high quality, initially I thought it was going to be a bit too firm for me but it ended up being very comfortable. The water was great quality too, we didn’t need to buy bottled. Plenty of great restaurants nearby and amazing views. We will definitely be back.
First, we found the place spotless squeaky clean and very functional for 4 adults, two children and a dog. A completely fenced secluded yard for the kids and dog to play. Had everything we needed just like home. The Host Amy was very responsive and fulfilled all our requests.Second, the location is perfect. 5 min. to All services in Trinidad. An hour or less to all major attractions. We went to Ave of Giants, Sequoia ZOO/ Skywalk (a must do) Many Beaches (found cool Agates) the Marine Lab, Tide pools and more. We had a great time all in 4 days and three nights. Next time we'll stay longer.Without hesitation We rate this accommodation and area A Five star experience. Thank you Amy
Great location, really nice property! It is nice that the location allows for pets, but we did notice pet odor on the couches. Would definitely book again!!!
Loved staying here. Less than a mile walk to the beach. The beds are very nice and everything was super clean.
