Nancy is such a wonderful host and a superb cook! The featherbeds were so cozy and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. We were a very short walk from the beach and village. The best word to describe the Pelican Cove Inn- charming!!- that goes for Nancy too. Now that my daughter lives a short drive away anytime we... More

First, and foremost, Nancy is an absolute gem. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely bed and breakfast and would come back in a heart beat. The entire experience was great. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and location was gorgeous. We would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone and everyone.

We reserved the Carlsbad room for our "baby-moon" this last weekend. When we arrived we we immediately felt welcomed by Nancy and she offered us a free upgrade to the Santa Barbara room which was available. We promptly took advantage of her offer! The room was excellent with tons of space, a comfortable feather bed, romantic gas fireplace, and some... More

I came to Carlsbad last weekend to run a corporate half marathon and to have a visit with my mother. I booked an extra night and it really was the weekend getaway that I did not know I needed. Beautiful room and fabulous food.

My husband and I spent my birthday at the lovely Pelican Cove B&B. We chose the Coronado room since it is on the ground floor and were pleased to learn it was separated from the main house. The room is decorated for a perfect romantic, secluded getaway in peach/green decor. We loved the 4 poster king feather bed. The breakfasts... More

This could, and should, be a 5 star establishment. The location is excellent--two blocks from the beach and easy walking to food, shopping and entertainment. Nancy is a jewel and provides all the goodies you need for a day at the beach--chairs, umbrellas, etc. Breakfast is typical B&B fare and served in the somewhat awkward dining room with dogs running...

I agree with the rest of the reviews, this is a great B&B. The room was very simple, no frills, but all was clean and well maintained. When we arrived my wife and I were greeted by a very well mannered young lady who immediately showed us to our room. Nancy was fantastic. Warm, kind, sharing and informative. It's so... More

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful staycation for 2 nights. We stayed in the La Jolla room which was beautiful and spacious. I especially enjoyed the little alcove where I could relax and read. Each room has its own entrance and bathroom which is a plus. Even though there were kids staying there, you would never of known it.... More

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting San Diego for 3 days and 4 nights. We originally planned on staying for 1 day less, but after arriving at Pelican Cove, we agreed to stay an extra day - partly because the inn is so pleasant. It is on a quiet dead-end street about a 4-minute stroll from the... More

We were warmly greeted by Nancy as we arrived at the Pelican Cove Inn, and offered a delicious chocolate chip cookie. Nancy was a great source of information about the area, and her suggestions for dinner were spot on! We were able to walk into town and to the beach. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. We stayed at... More
