We absolutely loved our stay. The house was great and just a short walk out the back patio to the beach. The back patio had a nice large table where we ate our morning breakfasts at. Loved the location being between both Brookings and Crescent City. We like both towns so it was fun to eat at our favorite places. Would definitely stay here again!

Overall, the house was very nice. The beach access was very easy and close. Very secluded and quiet.. The house was well stocked. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans glasses and utensils. My only complaints are the master bed has a big divot on one side, not very comfortable. The couches in the living room are not very comfortable and there is no recliner.

We had a great family vacation at the pelican house. There were a few minor issues we encountered, but with the help of Shannon and her staff, everything was addressed promptly and professionally. The access to the beach was great and enjoyed by all.

Gets better every stay

This is our 3rd time to this rental and they just keep improving an already awesome place to stay. Lots of nice new upgrades since our last stay but still has the same beautiful ocean views and sounds. Easy checkin, easy stay, easy checkout...thanks for a wonderful experience.

It was a lovely location, great beach and comfortable home with an excellent covered porch with a view. My only complaint was opening the dishwasher door and having it crash onto my foot because the spring for the door is broken. Ouch!

We took all 5 grandkids and our son with us to this property and it was AMAZING!! We all had walkie talkies and could communicate with each other at the beach. The private path was the best part. Loved the whole experience!

It was a very comfortable house with an amazing view and you could hear the ocean waves from the house. The host was wonderful and very responsive when we couldn’t open the door. The path to the beach was short and sweet and even my elderly in-laws could make the walk. We will definitely try to visit again!
