This property has a great location. It was spacious, clean, and well appointed. The decorations were lovely and the furniture comfortable. It was perfect for us and we loved staying here!
5.0
This place was spotlessly clean and in a great location. We are walkers and would take off directly from the house. The preserve is about 2 blocks away with endless trails and also the house location is an easy walk to main street Cambria and Moonstone beach. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to do some cooking (we cooked at least one of the two meals/day to save some time and $). The neighborhood is quiet and we met some of the neighbors and they were very friendly. We had great weather the week we were there so out out door time was grand! I would highly recommend Pelican Cottage for a comfortable stay in Cambria.

The home was very nice and attention to detail was great. Our only issue with our stay was the beds, they need an upgrade.
5.0
This was the perfect house for a summer getaway. It was small enough to easliy keep clean & tidy, but with the room upstairs with its own den, bath & patio, made it wonderful when a family member came to visit for a few days. Great location- just a 2 min walk to the Ranch for wonderful walks. 5 min drive to downtown. Very nice quaint property!
4.0
The house was well equipped, spacious, and well supplied. Very clean and welcoming. Well located for Fiscalani Preserve and Moonstone.
The outdoor spaces (decks, patio) would definitely benefit from some outdoor furniture such as chairs, table, etc. During our stay, the only furniture outside? Two wood chaises, set in the shade, on a deck outside the downstairs bedroom. Otherwise, nothing! The location of the house made a "walk to the beach" very unlikely (it is located at the top of a rather steep hill).

What a wonderful place. Very clean and spacious, well stocked kitchen and very comfortable beds. Communication was excellent and check in was seamless. Great quiet neighborhood close to hiking, shopping and restaurant. Hiking in Fiscalini preserves as great as was walking on Moonstone . Beach. Seeing the Elephant seals an d Heast castle are must dos

It is convenient, very close to the Coast Bluffs!
The inside is impeccable!
It looks like the owner/ manager went to extreme diligence to provide to renters the best accommodation! Plenty of room and space for the two of us.

This was a great place to ride out the current stormy weather in CA. Spacious but cozy and very comfortable. High ceiling in living area a real plus. A short walk or drive away from the beautiful walks on Fistslini z

This is our second stay at this cottage. We loved it just as much as the first time!
The location is great. It is just a minute or two walk from a nice hike through Fiscalini Ranch Preserve and a very short drive to Moonstone beach.
The cottage itself is very cute. It is impeccably clean. It is warm and cozy. It has great spaces for sitting and reading a book with the family. It is tastefully decorated. Most importantly, the kids love it.
I look forward to coming back again.

One of the best places we have stayed in our twenty plus years renting vacation houses in Cambria. Only one issue. As my spouse was walking into downstairs bedroom, looking into the room, she did not see that there was a second step, and fell. She wasn’t injured, just shook up; she is 75 and in fine health. All of the carpeting is the same color, and as the step down is shallow, it is easy to not realize the second step is even there. I would suggest something brightly colored on the edge of the floor that leads to the step and on the step itself. Our entire trip was great, and we will surely rent Pelican Cottage again.

House was perfect for our stay. House was clean and kitchen had everything we needed. Location was perfect, neighborhood was lovely. The sitting room attached to the upstairs bedroom doesn’t have window coverings so expect to be woken up with the sun, which was fine for us since we were with our 2 year old.
5.0
Very nice, loved everything about the property except it was located on a steep hill. We brought our bicycles but didn't use them for fear we would not be able to make it back home.

Great stay by Fiscalini Ranch
Great setup with everything we needed for our stay...clean, comfy, complete! Great communication. Short walk to Fiscalini Ranch trails - sunset was spectacular! Definitely going to try to stay here again!

Comfortable and lovey home.
We loved this comfy, cozy and roomy home. It’s in a beautiful location ½ blk to ocean views and a 5 min walk to the ocean side. We walked almost 7 miles one day. Closed to downtown Cambria and walking trails. The neighbor is so quiet and peaceful. Kind neighbors waving hello. Very clean and we wanted for nothing. We will definitely be back!

Pelican Cottage
Our stay at Pelican Cottage was perfect. The accommodations worked really well for my hubby, myself and in-laws. The cottage & property were very clean and stocked with everything we could possibly need. Shopping and eating in Cambria, trips to Harmony, Cayucos and walks along the beach made for a memorable visit. We’ll definitely come back and stay at Pelican Cottage.

Debbie is the BEST.
Debbie is so approachable and easy to talk to. She is open for suggestions and acts on it.
One night we had a power outage , which lasted for 24 hours, and she personally brought us 5 lanterns and a flashlight.
The cottage is so homey , spacious and comfortable.

Great Spot!
We've stayed in Cambria a few times, this was our first time at the Pelican Cottage. The house is spacious, more than enough for the three of us.
The photos don't do the house justice, I thought it would be a little more "rustic" than it was. My only complaint was the lack of window coverings in the upstairs sitting room; it meant that even with all blinds closed, the bedroom was pretty flooded with light by 6am.
But it wasn't a bad thing to be up that early, plenty of time for a nice walk before heading to the moonstone boardwalk or out to the many local wineries.
Would definitely stay again!

Quaint beach cottage!
This was the cutest beach cottage. It was well-stocked, very clean, and just a short walk to the beach. Deborah was very communicative and made the check-in process very easy. We will definitely be renting this cozy cottage again soon!
