Cute little cottage. Nice for a getaway for our anniversary.
Town is small and you can walk to quite a few places. Close to the beach within walking distance'
. 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.

Crabbers cottage was extremely comfortable and close to everything in the fantastic beach town of Trinidad. I’d definitely stay there again as it was a great base to explore the Redwoods.

Great place in the cutest little city!
Beautiful neighborhood on the ocean and redwoods. Can’t wait to return to Trinidad and definitely would stay here again.

Trinidad was a quaint town to explore and crabber's cottage was a great home base for our day trip to Redwood National Park.

This is a clean, comfortable newly updated cottage smack in the middle of a quaint seaside village. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will book this property again on future visits, if it is available.
Lovely stay in a clean, modern cabin with a great bed
Crabber’s Cottage is centrally located to all eateries in Trinidad, which an excellent coffee place a few yards away. The elevated view of the ocean is lovely. It’s a short drive to the beach. The cottage is exceptionally clean and the bed is amazingly comfortable.
Close to everything in Trinidad, yet tucked away and quiet. Such cute decor, just like the picture.....plus a comfy bed. Had everything we wanted and more!
We were up in the area for the trails and beach, so didn’t spend much time at the place. But what time we did spend there was great. Awesome location and a perfect place to call home for a few nights. Thanks for such a great spot.
The Cottage was exactly as advertised. We had a wonderful stay, walked to eating establishments and visited friends. It was, also, the perfect location as a home base for enjoying the many activities in the area. We loved it!
Absolutely loved the location!! Short walk down to the beach and a few hiking options. In depth binder with lots of info on town and cottage. Yard is very small & looks pretty unused but you're next to the coast & Redwoods!
Awesome place! Very inviting and cozy. Short walk to the beach overlook. Nice add-ins like the game and book shelf, local information available, and emergency lighting (that we did use during a power outage). Lighthouse nearby. Close by restaurant, Larrupine' Cafe, had a sample board with several locally made food items, and the food was phenomenal!
