*Please Note: The owners of Pelican's Nest have their own private retreat below the property. They like to think of it as their "Writer's Workshop". Since they live in nearby Arcata, they occasionally retreat to their workshop during the day but will not bother you during your vacation. They are very friendly and if you should see them coming or going please feel free to say hello and ask them any questions about their home or the greater Trinidad area. They have great stories to share!

Great Escape!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We annually rent the Pelican's Nest usually in June. It is by far our favorite location to visit. The rental has everything needed including a great view of the ocean and a short hike to a beach! There are many hikes in the surrounding area and so much to see! There are also many great restaurants in Trindad.

Great house!

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.

Spacious with Gorgeous View

We stayed at this lovely home with our son and his girlfriend. The location was perfect on a quiet street and within walking distance to the grocery store, many restaurants, and the beach. The beds and furniture were super comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the wood burning stove, decks with gorgeous views of the harbor, and spacious feel of the home. My son and his girlfriend enjoyed the privacy of the downstairs bedroom and we enjoyed the large upstairs suite. The pool table in the garage was an added bonus. We look forward to staying here again.
