Turtle Rocks Oceanfront Inn

We had a truly wonderful and relaxing stay. From the welcoming chocolates at the door to the always accessible hot drinks and fresh fruit, every detail made us feel valued as guests. The homemade, freshly prepared breakfasts were a delight. As a celiac, I need gluten free food, this was respected and remembered when my food was prepared. It’s the thoughtful touches that made all the difference. We had access to a large fridge downstairs, but a mini fridge in the room would have been appreciated. While the breathtaking surroundings could be enjoyed from anywhere in the area, it’s the old-world charm and warm hospitality that make Turtle Rocks truly special.

Turtle rocks was an amazing place to stay if you want to experience the pacific northwest and redwood forest. You are greeted by the sounds of sea lions and we even saw an eagle flying around and a baby deer was grazing in the field below our beautiful balcony. It was amazing. The backyard area is filled with gorgeous flowers and hummingbirds that was magical to walk through. So quiet and peaceful. Not to mention the delicious baked goods that are provided daily. I would stay here everytime i come to the california coast.

This truly is a magical place! We drove from Lake Tahoe & arrived in time to see a mesmerizing sunset over the Turtle Rocks, with hummingbirds flitting through the garden, we were absolutely charmed! The quiet comfort, the sunsets & the Milky Way from our private deck, listening to the sea lions & the surf, we stayed 3 nights, but didn’t want to leave! The Redwoods were magnificent & we also took a day trip to Glass Beach, just delightful, every minute!

Perched above the Pacific, each room has a private balcony overlooking the ocean. You will be serenaded by the sea lions here, and enjoy spacious, comfortable accommodations, and hospitable innkeepers who provide hearty breakfasts and home-baked treats throughout the day. Guests are invited to make use of a communal refrigerator which the hosts have thoughtfully stocked with beverages. Coffee and tea and pastries are available throughout the day. Trinidad is a great little town with surprisingly good dining for so remote a place, and is a perfect location for exploring the Redwoods, Fern Canyon, and the like--that is, if you can tear yourself away from your balcony or any of the other lovely spots on the property on which to idle away the hours soaking ups the sea air and the fragrant flowers that abound.

From the moment my wife and I walked in, Roger (the owner) took excellent care of us, providing us with outstanding breakfasts and snacks, and lots of great advice -- for hikes, meals, and visits to special locations. We followed every wonderful suggestion, and enjoyed everything he recommended. The room (#3) had an incredible view of the ocean, and was large and comfortable. The three days we spent there were magical, and we highly recommend this inn.

Our second amazing stay in the last 5 years. Truly a wonderful and relaxing place to soak up the Northern California coast and the redwoods. The views are just spectacular. We could easily spend the day out on the balcony listening to the sea lions bark and ocean waves crashing in.
