Wonderful time in Trinidad

Two couples from Oregon came down for a wedding in Trinidad and stayed at Pelican's Nest. We had a wonderful stay with beach walks, dining and seeing friends from our college days. We were able to walk to the wedding location. We had wonderful weather and a lovely ocean view. We hope to return to stay at this property again.

Great house!

This is the second time I’ve had my family at this rental. The house is perfectly located in between the local grocery store, restaurants, shops, state beach ect making walking to everything very easy. The inside of this house is great and the two decks have amazing ocean views.

Wonderful retreat.

Our stay was great. The location is probably the best. The view is out of this world. And if the trail is open you can walk down to a private beach from the house . The inside of the house is lovely. Very beachy charm to it. The house definitely needs some TLC. especially the outside. The back deck is a little sketchy and if you have kids or pets I would be on guard because the railing is not very safe. If you can look past some of these items, which hopefully the owners will address, it’s a lovely place to stay in a tranquil location. Our family had a very nice stay.

Gorgeous spot along the coast

We were here just for two nights, but I loved every minute. Having a coffee on quiet morning while looking at the water was so lovely. We also brought our dog to a nearby beach and had fun playing frisbee. Overall it was a wonderful stay
