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.

Breath taking view!

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 come to the area often but this was a special trip for us and I wanted to find a place where my husband who was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer could feel he was always on the beach. This place was amazing we as a family had the best time playing board games ping pong pool just sitting watching the ocean and enjoying each other. Every view is magical, the kids loved how we could walk everywhere. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. This house will always hold special memories for our family and we hope to return soon! The house manger was very quickly to respond.

Worst Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s in a nice location. Pictures shows it’s nice and clean, but in reality, it’s not. Bedroom downstairs is really bad. All the linen / bedsheets / blanket provided is so bad, smelled like year in it or been there for months. I neither book rental again there nor recommend it to anyone

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

Fantastic place

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was good. It’s an older house and the kitchen did have ants. I would say some of the kitchen items need replacing like the glass wear and pans. Views were incredible. A few more towels would have been great . The sign for the heat says keep at 64 but the house was so cold we had to turn it up. The weather was cold during our stay. Property management was awesome!

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!
