Pelican House

Beautifully situated among the wind-blown cypress, this Bodega Bay home offers a wonderful blend of privacy and convenience. In this serene coastal setting, you'll be only 800 feet from an access point to Salmon Creek Beach and the wild Pacific Ocean.

The Pelican House sits in a copse of trees just north of downtown, a respite for beach-goers in every season and those looking to explore the beauties of the Sonoma Coast. As you step inside, you'll find the main living space on the second floor, where vaulted ceilings and immense windows create a calming coastal atmosphere. The living room is perfect for reading or completing a puzzle in the light of the many windows and the warmth of the wood-burning stove; it seamlessly flows into a compact - but fully equipped - kitchen and a six-person dining space. There are two decks - a tree-lined deck off the kitchen and a more sheltered deck that connects the living room to the upstairs bedroom.

Between long walks on the beach and scenic drives up Highway 1, you'll find a great space to relax at home in the downstairs den offering a pool table and a flatscreen cable TV with streaming capability.

Humble and comfy

Our stay was wonderful. The house isn't updated or fancy, but it was perfect for our family. It was very clean, and my interactions with the host company were very convenient. The house has older furniture, blinds and amenities but that was fine with me at the price point. There were five of us and we we were very comfortable.

Nice to get away from it all and relax in a quiet secluded area. Small portable heaters were useful in the bedroom and tv room / futon room on the first floor.

The furniture was a little dated and locking the property on our way out was a little tricky. The property felt safe and it was super close to the beach. Spent the weekend here with my family and we really enjoyed our time. It’s nearby Bodega and Santa Rosa. Getting everywhere seem like such a short distance. I would definitely return.

Great Location-Bring your own sheets

The beds were filthy, sheets hadn't been changed. We had to change the sheets. There was sand, dirt and hair all over them. The mattress had sand and pee stains all over them. The floors had sand, the furniture had black long hair all over the place. The location was very nice, a very short walk to the beach, you can see the ocean from the driveway. We would have had an outstanding stay if it wasn't for the dirty beds.

Lovely location, scary stair

Great house, very cozy, lovely location. We could walk to the ocean. Lots of towels, clean linens. One burner was not very hot but the other ones worked. Slippery shower, slippery stairs - three out of four of us slipped in the shower or stairs. It does smell mildewy, which is kinda gross, but every house I have ever stayed at near the beach has that smell. Really great location. Lovely light. Comfy beds. I would stay again except for that smell. No one else noticed it, I just have a strong nose. Good price for what you get. Nothing is brand new but my house isn't new, either.

A Great Stay

Stayed here for our annual fishing trip on the New Sea Angler. Very impressed, great location near the beach and a very short drive to the harbor. Super clean, comfortable beds and well appointed. Some earlier reviews referenced issues, we experienced none. A great Stay!

Pelican House was great!

Quiet, relaxing, clean property with extremely close access to Salmon Creek State Beach. Plenty of room for a family of up to 6 to stay & sleep comfortably if needed. My husband & I came here for a getaway weekend and it was exactly what we got. Close to HWY 1 for drives along the coast and exploring the area. Would stay again! Thank you!

GREAT LOCATION, older house

Location is whey we booked this house. You can easily walk to Salmon Creek Beach which is beautiful! Great for sea glass hunting too. Also an easy location if you want to split your time between Bodega Bay and the Russian River. House, furniture, beds are all well past being comfortable. Very small kitchen and bathrooms. We never cooked there, but so many good cafes and restaurants it doesn't really matter.
