About this property

Sunset Knoll - Big Summer Discount & Great Value Ocean Views, Pet Friendly!

  • Sunset Knoll is a classic coastal home ideal for families and dog lovers seeking spectacular ocean views, privacy, and a relaxed place to unwind. Perched high on a bluff in the quiet Baker Ranch community, the home overlooks Baker Beach and offers a peaceful, scenic setting that’s hard to beat.

    This is an older, well-loved home that prioritizes comfort, space, and location over modern finishes. The expansive grassy backyard is perfect for picnics, barbecues, and enjoying the coastal air, with a short path leading to a meditation bench overlooking the ocean. Guests can walk downhill about a quarter mile along Baker Beach Road to Scenic Drive, then continue roughly one mile to reach the trail down to Baker Beach.

    The main living areas are located upstairs and include a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove and beautiful ocean views, a small but fully equipped kitchen, a dining nook, and the primary bedroom with a queen bed and an attached bathroom with a tub/shower.

    Downstairs are two additional bedrooms—one with a queen bed and one with two twin beds—along with a small bathroom featuring a stall shower. The home is comfortably furnished and well suited for a casual, family-friendly stay.

    Outdoor amenities include a deck with a gas barbecue and seating, plus a large outdoor dog kennel for guests traveling with pets. Additional conveniences include a dishwasher, washer and dryer, flat-screen TV with cable, DVD/VCR, stereo, and free Wi-Fi.

    While Baker Beach is nearby, guests are also just a short drive from other local favorites including Trinidad Head, Trinidad State Beach, Luffenholtz Beach, and Moonstone Beach, making it easy to explore the best of Trinidad’s rugged coastline.

    Sunset Knoll offers a peaceful coastal retreat where sunsets, ocean views, and simple comfort take center stage. It’s a wonderful choice for guests who value location and serenity in a dog-friendly setting.

Great views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Big house with plenty of room. Some stinky areas like the kitchen and garage (washer/dryer area). Those parts of the house didn’t take away from our family’s experience though, sunsets were amazing and it felt nice relaxing there. I would definitely stay there again.

The view was beautiful....We felt somewhat disappointed by the late checkout time (4pm) and early checkout time (10am). We paid for 5 days but only got to fully enjoy 3.

Views! Space! Plan Ahead for Coffee Shops

I did not think the online photos did the property justice. The space was roomier than I expected. There are views from every single window. The easy chair was comfortable, but noisy getting in and out of. Moonstone Grill is a must for dining! The town of Trinidad is quaint, adorable, and has many local artists! It's definitely a VRBO to bring my family back to in the future. Down side: It was not just in Trinidad, but almost every coffee shop we went to in northern California closed by 4:00 to 5:00. If I was late getting coffee for my afternoon crash, I was SOL. =D

Wonderful place!

What a magical place! The view from the back deck is one of the best I've ever seen in my life. House was very clean and comfortable. We hiked every day in the Redwood National Park and the park is only a short drive from the house. Would definitely recommend highly, and we hope to go back!

Spectacular Views!

The highlight of the property is the stunning view of the ocean. The location is great (near town, groceries, restaurants, beach, etc). And a great launching point for hiking. I would suggest considering replacing the carpets for hard floors, since pets are allowed, there's a scent on the carpet. Otherwise, the property is phenomenal.

View to die for.

What a great stay! Exactly as described and even better. I'm almost afraid to say how much we loved the property in fear that it will always be rented. (Haha). Great bed nice towels and plenty of storage space. I wish we could have stayed longer. My dogs were in Heven to be able to go with us. Can't wait till next year. Thank you.

Great location but the house is so-so

I give the property location and views a 10 out of 10. Unfortunately, the house itself is far from great. It seems that the house, bathrooms, kitchen, and furnishings haven't been updated in a very long time. The windows were dirty and detracted from the lovely views. I would be okay with the house if it was at a lower price point but at these prices I would hope for a little more care to be put into the place.

Fab View, Fab Place, Fun Times

I had read other reviews that this property had a great view, but it really was Amazing with a capital A. Fabulous deck to enjoy incredible sunsets and prepare great bbq dinners. House layout worked really well - 3 bedrooms for the 6 of us though there are 2 other spaces (loft) and pull out coach where 2 more people could sleep. We hiked down to Baker Beach about 1/4 mile below the property which was fun. The local town in Trinidad was fun with great restaurants, and lots of beaches, and places to rent kayaks. Also want to add in the backyard of the property facing the beach there is a picnic table which is a wonderful space to have your meals outside. Living area space worked great as did kitchen. All in all - Fab view, Fab Place, Fun times.
