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

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.

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.
