Pelican Cottage - 5 Stars!

The cottage was charming. We LOVED the upstairs - the sunroom was the perfect place for me to get some work done, plus room to do yoga.The property manager was wonderful and responsive to a minor matter. We enjoyed our 10-day stay, and were reluctant to leave.

Lovely Respite

This property is very warm and inviting. From the minute you walk in the door you feel welcome and peaceful. This home is in a nice neighborhood and it is quiet. It was very clean and had a very well stocked kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. It is close enough to Fiscalini Ranch Preserve so you can walk. I would definitely stay here again!

Very Clean & Close to Everything

The absolute cleanest rental ever! This home was very well appointed with extras we did not expect. The kitchen had plates, silverware, knives, cutting boards, and so much more to use when we cooked meals. The beds were very comfortable. The linens were very nice and extra blankets were available. The fireplace warmed up the living room quickly and was beautiful to watch the flames. Not too many instructions or rules needed. Just right.

Great Location!

This was the perfect house for a summer getaway. It was small enough to easliy keep clean & tidy, but with the room upstairs with its own den, bath & patio, made it wonderful when a family member came to visit for a few days. Great location- just a 2 min walk to the Ranch for wonderful walks. 5 min drive to downtown. Very nice quaint property!

Amazing Cottage

This is our second stay at this cottage. We loved it just as much as the first time! The location is great. It is just a minute or two walk from a nice hike through Fiscalini Ranch Preserve and a very short drive to Moonstone beach. The cottage itself is very cute. It is impeccably clean. It is warm and cozy. It has great spaces for sitting and reading a book with the family. It is tastefully decorated. Most importantly, the kids love it. I look forward to coming back again.

Cambria CA

This place was spotlessly clean and in a great location. We are walkers and would take off directly from the house. The preserve is about 2 blocks away with endless trails and also the house location is an easy walk to main street Cambria and Moonstone beach. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to do some cooking (we cooked at least one of the two meals/day to save some time and $). The neighborhood is quiet and we met some of the neighbors and they were very friendly. We had great weather the week we were there so out out door time was grand! I would highly recommend Pelican Cottage for a comfortable stay in Cambria.

Cute house

The house was cute and accurately reflected on the site. The house did smell a little musty when we arrived but it aired out fairly quickly. The only real issue while we were there is that one of the light bulbs blew and there were no extras in the house. We called the property manager, but they were quite dismissive and simply said they didn't see an issue and couldn't do anything to help.

Tons of Charm, Comfortable and Captivating

This was our second extended stay at Pelican Cottage. We've been spoiled here in so many small ways. December can be a bit chilly on the central coast. The gas fireplace did a fine job of keeping most rooms toasty. Never had to turn the heat. This property has everything you need, many things you want that you didn't know you needed, and the property manager informed me that the kitchen is receiving a major upgrade this winter with some new appliances and cabinets. Great wi-fi, plenty of TVs (four), functional and tasteful furnishings, and comfy bedside up to a home away from home. The neighborhood is quiet, strangers wave at you, and the architectural diversity is a feast for the eyes. We can only hope that after the remodel the price doesn't put it out of reach for two retired teachers. And another tiny fear is that rating it so highly translates into increased rentals and decreased availability. Two closing testimonials: I sent no fewer than 20 pictures of the house to a friend and fellow Cambria lover whose one year old makes a hotel stay impractical. And, one of the comments in the guest book sums it up nicely, "This place makes it hard to go out and do things because you're so happy staying here."
