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.

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

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
