Loved sleeping to the music of the ocean. We really appreciated the stroller, high chair, beach cart, & crock pot. We'll be back! Thanks so much.

  Our 12th Year at North Coast Village

  • Guest Charles & Joyce from Medina MN

  This was the 12th year we have spent the month of March at North Coast Village, and it was our sixth year at Pelican Place. This lovely 2-story unit is perfect for entertaining overnight guests in the separate guest "suite'" which allows family & friends to stay with us and enjoy some privacy. Even though the weather this year was not as nice as in prior years (and the weather back home in Minnesota was unseasonably warm beyond our wildest dreams), we'll be back in March 2013!

  Our 7th winter sunshine break in this delightful condo! Every year it's homecoming with everything we need ready & waiting for us. For the 1st time we used the baby equipment for our visiting great-granddaughter. So easy on the traveling parents to have it already here. We'll be back next year.

  We had a very nice time hosting our son and family, who are from La Crescenta, CA. The unit was very comfortable and the children (ages 6 &9) loved the pool & jacuzzi as well as LegoLand and Safari Park. We certainly would consider coming back next year.

  Perfect Place to Celebrate

  It was a perfect place to celebrate Dave's 41st birthday. Your condo is the perfect West Coast getaway with subtle hints of the East Coast. We will remember sitting on the top balcony gazing at the stars and snuggled in a warm blanket. The luxury of falling asleep to the waves each night was awesome. The kids loved walking to dock, eating at Ruby's and meeting an incredibly friendly pelican who seemed to be taking his nightly stroll on the dock. The kids stood right next to him...
