Loved our stay at the Pelican House. It was very clean and well stocked. The beds were super comfy anf neighborhood so quiet at night. The firepit was so nice to gather round in the evening.

Wonderful place in quiet neighborhood

My extended weekend to visit family got blasted by an emergency remote work project that consumed almost all my time. The silver lining, besides how wonderful my sister was, was this was a perfect place to stay. The place was immaculate, comfortable and adorable. We were close enough to family to join for meals. Beds were comfy and kitchen and bath well appointed. Owner was a dream to work with. Hope to be back.

Great Stay

The Pelican House was a wonderful place to stay. TJ our host made it very welcoming for us and the amenities were above and beyond what we expected. There was very quick access to the beaches. We loved having a pass that TJ provided to drive on the beach for many beautiful sunsets and sitting by the fires and telling ghosts stories on Pawpaw’s birthday with our grandchildren. 😊

Perfect VRBO

Stayed the weekend to visit some family in the area. House was very well kept, clean, and furnished very nicely. Great backyard for dogs to wonder. BBQ grill was top of the line. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. One of the nicest, if not the nicest VRBO’s we have stayed in. Would highly recommend to friends and family and would like to stay again when back in the area.

Great Place for Weekend Getaway

We visited with 3 of us adults. Two dogs were here and the place couldnt have been more perfect. A decent sized backyard allowed the dogs to play a bit and safely go to the bathroom. TJ was a fantastic host... very communicative and allowed us an early checkin and slightly later checkout. beach pass, wine, and overall cleanliness was the extra above and beyond that we all loved.

Pleasant Stay at Pelican House

Lovely two bedroom cottage provided everything necessary for a pleasant stay within a short drive of great beaches. Attached garage gives covered parking. Minor noise factor (motorcycles, trucks, chainsaws) at certain times during the day, but not at night. TJ, the property manager, was great. Price was right, too. We'd stay there again.

Sweet Beach Cottage

What a wonderful place to stay, I felt like I was in a beach cottage, the home is nicely decorated and SUPER clean. I had my dogs with me and the fenced in yard was perfect for them. The house is very well equipped with everything you might need - and a lot of nice extra touches. There is beach gear and games, two bicycles, board games and puzzles - you won't need to buy anything. Washer dryer in the garage, lots of parking, and a quiet neighborhood. I loved it!

About the host

Hosted by T J Carsey

Host profile image
My sister, Betti Boop, and myself (TJ) are basically retired and live together now in the front unit of this duplex. I bought the duplex in 2001 and have always rented out the other side on a monthly rental until now. Boop lived there from 2006 until the recent move-in with me. I have decided to try the vacation rental approach with the unit. I have listed it with both VRBO and Airbnb, and Betti is my Co-Host, managing it for me. We grew up in Texas and we want to share that friendly, hospitable mentality as your Hosts. There is a gate between the side yard patios of our duplex units. We keep it closed for your privacy. However, it is always unlocked for your access to us at anytime you should want to meet us for a visit, need info, want ideas, have an issue, etc. We are members of the fraternal organizations in our area (Elks Lodge, Moose Lodge, Eagles Aerie, American Legion, VFW) and would be happy to meet up with you as guests to enjoy a visit and cocktails during your stay! However you should wish, we welcome the opportunity to meet you:)

Why they chose this property

Pismo Beach area is a little paradise on the central coast of California!

What makes this property unique

We are close to the off road vehicle recreational area, a Melodrama Theater, the Monarch Butterfly Preserve, Arroyo Grande Hospital, five different fraternal lodges, eateries, wineries, three public piers, hot springs, spas and the Outlet Malls! As a part of the Five Cities area (Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Shell Beach, Arroyo Grande and Oceano), we have access to goods, services and entertainment. Yet, Oceano is among the agricultural fields and has a serenely rural feel. As well, our place is located in a quiet, laid-back neighborhood with easy access to Hwy 1, the beach and Hwy 101. From our house, we can walk to the local post office, local grocery store (has a great butcher counter and deli counter), Efren's Mexican Restaurant, Sylvester's Burgers, a couple of smaller taco shops, a fruit/veggie stand, the Melodrama Live Theatre, the Eagles Aerie... I love to do my walking routine at night and have done so for years without any fear factor:) UBER SERVICE is also available in our area!
