About this property
Pelican House by the Bay - Kayak, Surf, and Dunes steps from a cozy cottage
Cozy cottage two blocks from the bay and a few minutes walk to the beach. Family and dog-friendly. Great kitchen amenities (bakeware, pasta roller, cake supplies) and BBQ, fenced backyard and patio for Fido and the kids, and outdoor garden spaces for relaxing. Bring the kayaks, fishing boat, bikes, or ATVs and start the fun right outside the front door at the bay, beach, or BLM off-road area. Conveniently located between Eureka and Arcata...minutes to either town. Enough space for small gatherings of up to ten people. Bring your groceries and you don't have to go to town to find fun and relaxation. Sufficient parking to bring a tow behind fishing boat.

About the host
Hosted by Dimitra Zalarvis-Chase
Tommy and Dimitra are 30+ years residents of Humboldt County with interests in travel, gardening, food, and family. They previously owned two local restaurants and have several generations of family in the area. Presently, they own and operate an archaeology consulting firm.
Why they chose this property
This is a family home purchased in 1982 by Dimitra's Grandmother. She named it Pelican House because although it was small, there was always room for one more (in the Pelicans pouch haha) such as cousins, aunts, or friends passing through.
What makes this property unique
Its quiet with fresh salty air and so close to the beach and bay, you really can wander down and drink your morning coffee with the harbor seals, cast a line in the bay without having to drive anywhere, or launch your boat without queueing up in town. Also, its full of good family vibes - so many good things happen in this home!
