The main draw of this property is the view. It is admittedly gorgeous, very wide and mostly unobstructed, at least not by trees or houses. However, if you sit on the deck, there is a thick wood railing exactly at eye level, obstructing the view. You must stand up or bend down to see an unobstructed view. This was disappointing, because the photos in the listing do not show or admit to this. The railing is probably required by code, but the owner could resolve it by providing bar height table and chairs. The view is better from the back yard, but there is no lawn furniture there, except a straight backed uncomfortable wooden bench. The interior of the house is okay, but very outdated, (around 1970's I think) with carpet throughout, some of it with stains. The shower downstairs is horrible. It sprays out at a defined angle and cannot be adjusted. If you are an average height woman it sprays directly in your face and the stall is so tiny there is no place to get under it without that happening. For the price paid, you would think the owners could make just a few small adjustments for visitors' comfort. Add barstools and lawn furniture, get rid of the carpet or at least clean it, put in a new shower head. Also, the part of the listing that says there is a beach a 1/4 mile walk away is somewhat misleading. We asked how to get there and were told it is unmarked and is a steep slope down, and that other beaches in the area were recommended as being better. We appreciate the honesty at that time, but the listing should not imply there is a nice beach and easy walk away. The property managers were very nice and responsive to questions, and we do appreciate that honesty when asked.

Reviewer Comments:
We immensely enjoyed our stay at Sunset Knoll! It was very clean and well stocked with kitchen needs, linens, and towels. I read reviews with complaints about mold/mildew. We did not have any mold or mildew. We only used the bedroom upstairs, and the bed was comfortable. The managers were quick to respond, professional, and very friendly. The view was SPECTACULAR! The pictures do not give it justice. The yard is secluded. A scenic narrow paved road that turns into a dirt road runs along the coast from Trinidad to the drive for the neighborhood. We could not see the other houses from Sunset Knoll. I had read there was a steep path to the beach from the house. The path was overgrown and obviously unused for a very long time. Trinidad had great restaurants that were reasonably priced. Restaurants and groceries were a short drive from the house. This was a perfect home base. We hiked at the National Park daily. Places closer to the park were run down and other nice places were further away than Trinidad. Please note, the house is not updated with furniture and decor; it is clean and comfortable. My 1 complaint is the recliner beside the picture window in the living space is quite uncomfortable. I looked forward to sitting there to read or take in the view. I couldn't sit in the chair because it was so old it made my back hurt. I am a fairly young healthy person without back problems! I gave a 4 out of 5 because the chair needs replaced and the furniture updated. Our visit was June 28, 2022 - July 1, 2022.

Amazing Views!
This property had the most amazing views! We spent most of our time at a larger home next door but utilized this home for sleeping. It was comfortable and clean and could easily have the best views on the street!

The views surpassed our greatest expectations and the house was beautiful. It looks to have been built in the '90s and displays that type of charm. The closest neighbor was about 200 yards away so all you ever hear is the surf. We would definitely rent this place again!

Amazing family vacation at the perfect spot!
The house is beautiful and has everything you need for a lovely vacation. I stayed with my husband and three year old, my parents and brother. Plenty of space for everyone. And the location and view can’t be beat.

The view from this rental is so gorgeous! The beds were comfortable, kitchen stocked well, managers good to respond. Only downside was the internet was a little spotty - but we were usually out and about anyway. Enjoyed Camel Rock Beach, Agate Beach, Fern Canyon, Redwood National Park, Lighthouse Grill for mashed potato cones, but mostly THIS VIEW! Loved it fog or sunshine!

Wonderful Getaway
We loved our time in Trinidad. The location is amazing! Easy to get to and close to the bay. The views from the deck were breathtaking. Thank you for a perfect getaway!

Nice place
Great location, great house and kindly staffs. But one thing makes my wife a little upset, all cooking pans, dishes, cups are old and scratched. And no cooking oil and salt when we got there. We had to buy by ourselves.
