Absolutely Beautiful Property

This is one of my favorite properties I’ve ever rented. The view was incredible, the decor was perfect for the setting, it was fully stocked, and very comfortable. It was even better than the pictures. It’s clear the owners and managers take pride in the property and care for it well. Highly recommend

Great Escape!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We annually rent the Pelican's Nest usually in June. It is by far our favorite location to visit. The rental has everything needed including a great view of the ocean and a short hike to a beach! There are many hikes in the surrounding area and so much to see! There are also many great restaurants in Trindad.

Wonderful house with amazing views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house far exceeded my expectations! The pictures were great, but it's so much better in person. The views of the harbor from the living room and master bedroom are spectacular! You see birds covering the sea stack in front of the house, fisherman in kayaks and fishing boats moored in the harbor. We loved having our morning coffee and evening cocktail looking out the windows. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook and it also has a great view. Murphys Market is 5 minutes away and has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable! We would love to come back again!

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.
