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

What a view!! That is the first thing. Spotlessly clean, well stocked kitchen, nice furnishings, location cannot be beat as close to restaurants, groceries, and a great short trail to Indian Head beach right at the house. TV withNetflix and all other options. All in all one ofthe finest VRBO’s I have ever stayed in. We will be back! 10 stars.

Beautiful view but unmaintained path to beach
what a beautiful view! we loved everything about our stay and our dog did too. the one negative is the property's path to the trail to the beach. it was not maintained-- bushes aren't cut back, etc. and I fell and sprained my finger! It was so swollen but thankfully not broken. we recommend not using the property's path down but to walk around the trailhead until the path is better maintained. other than that, it was a lovely property and our dog loved it and the town of trinidad is wonderul!

Perfect location with stunning ocean views
We loved staying at this beautiful property with a spectacular ocean view. In the master bedroom you can wake up and watch the sunrise. The sunsets are gorgeous from both the bedroom and the entire downstairs living area. Both floors also have ocean facing decks to relax on. The location is on a bluff in a quiet, private residential neighborhood with easy access to trails, restaurants, and stores.

Great place to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary!
We couldn’t have found a better place to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary! The views from the house were breathtaking, the location was great and the town of Trinidad was so quaint and peaceful. We enjoyed eating at The Eatery for several meals and pizza from Headies was delicious! The house was perfect, comfy beds and furniture. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Spacious with Gorgeous View
We stayed at this lovely home with our son and his girlfriend. The location was perfect on a quiet street and within walking distance to the grocery store, many restaurants, and the beach. The beds and furniture were super comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the wood burning stove, decks with gorgeous views of the harbor, and spacious feel of the home. My son and his girlfriend enjoyed the privacy of the downstairs bedroom and we enjoyed the large upstairs suite. The pool table in the garage was an added bonus. We look forward to staying here again.
