This B&B is two blocks from the beach, close to restaurants and lovely in itself. Nancy, the hostess, is smart, hospitable and serves great food. She also graciously accommodated some unusual food needs that our little foursome had. It is very clean and the fireplace was a welcome addition because it was chilly. I can wholeheartedly recommend this delightful B&B. More

This is the perfect B&B. My husband and I have been here 3 times, each time in a different room. Each stay has been wonderful. Each of the rooms has a gas fireplace and nice decor. Nancy's hospitality and cooking is what brings us back. She is very sweet, her breakfasts are amazing, always a home-cooked main dish, with fruit... More

Wife and I celebrated an early Valentines night out, far exceeded our expectations. The Santa Barbara room was very romantic with nice tub and gas fire place, merlot/cabernet colors with wine related decorations. Nancy was sooo friendly and helpful, her breakfast was superb. Looking forward to our next visit. More

We stayed at the Pelican for a long weekend in December. I agree with all that has been previously posted...great location, nicely decorated rooms, comfortable beds, a fireplace for chilly nights, and what I loved the most.....a delicious breakfast. Also, Nancy went out of her way to make my husband comfortable who was recovering from a recent shoulder surgery. She... More

Pelican Cove Inn is everything the website promises and more! We stayed in the Carlsbad Room and it was wonderful. It IS a short walk to the beach, as well as shopping downtown. The breakfast is wonderful, and the beach chairs, etc. that you can borrow is a great touch. It feels like you are staying with friends. Nancy is... More

My husband and I discovered the Pelican Cove Inn many years ago and when we need a close by get away, we head west! The rooms are beautiful, right down the street (walking distance) from the ocean, excellent food, hospitality and more. We would recommend this bed and breakfast for all those that await a quiet, restful oasis! Thanks Nancy,... More

We have stayed here many times since (luckily) finding it back in 2000. The rooms are comfortable, the beach is a short walk away, and breakfast is always incredible. The garden in the back of the property is very pleasant. There are beach chairs, boogie boards, beach toys, and beach towels available. The best feature of Pelican Cove, however, is... More
