Whalesong House and Garden

Centrally located in Trinidad, our comfortable 3 bdm home is walking distance to the Beach, Restaurants, Trinidad Art Gallery, Shops and more.

Crafted of heart redwood, Whalesong House is a charming two-story, 3 bedroom (2 Q, 2 T) home with a compact, yet well-equipped, full kitchen, an adjacent dining area, and a living room with a large TV. A designer’s delight, this rental is lavishly landscaped with an enclosed, rear Rhododendron garden. Designed by one of the owners, the three-foot spherical fountain, Global Peace, which punctuates the dozens of heathers, lavenders, and ornamental grasses in the front garden, has become a Trinidad landmark. And Byrd Baker, the “old-timer” from Mendocino, who, in his small skiff, once blocked a Japanese whaling ship, carved the driftwood whale insignia, which hangs at the apex of the face of the house. Guests of this rental will also enjoy the view from the furnished balcony, the gas grill, and the private hot tub, perfect for soothing both body and soul.
