Outstanding rental. Tidy home w glorious view. Fun little path down to beach. Protected location on a private drive with a few other homes. Easy walk into town. Thoroughly enjoyed stay
Had a wonderful stay in this lovely home overlooking the ocean. Great location to visit Prairie Creek section of Redwood NP during the day. Short path down to a beach with Seals and Sea Lions beachside. Very quiet, private location. Home had everything you will need for an enjoyable stay!
This is one of my favorite properties I’ve ever rented. The view was incredible, the decor was perfect for the setting, it was fully stocked, and very comfortable. It was even better than the pictures. It’s clear the owners and managers take pride in the property and care for it well. Highly recommend
Our family of four had a wonderful stay. The house was well equipped, the pool table was hours of fun, and the view was breathtaking. Can't wait to return again.

The pictures do not do justice to this home! What a wonderful place- the view, the location, and everything you need. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly return again. The owners have thought of everything!
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
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.

A very quiet and peaceful location overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The home was rustic and met our needs. We loved the interior designs depicting ocean decorum. Everything about our stay was awesome.
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.

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.
We came to have a relaxing honeymoon after wedding stress, and we were able to do just that. The home is on a quiet cul-de-sac with direct access to a quiet beach. It’s a bit of a steep hike down, but we enjoyed that. It was so nice falling asleep and waking to the sound of the ocean below. The area is also very walkable - we were able to walk to dinner every night, which we loved. We did embarrassingly get locked in the garage as apparently some of the doors can automatically lock when closed, but thankfully the host answered our call right away and was able to come let us back in!There were lots of board games and puzzles, which we enjoyed after our excursions to nearby beach trails and redwood hikes.I will note that the fairy lights in the boat above the bed were not working and the mattress seemed a bit uneven, like it was slightly raised in the middle. There was also some unexpected yard work happening on the property and when I reached out to inquire about it, the hosts were apologetic and graciously refunded us a night. All in all it was a great home in a perfect location with very kind and helpful hosts. It offered us exactly what we needed and I would definitely recommend a stay here to others. 10/10 Would stay again.
We had the most relaxing stay. It was perfect!!! I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
