The Pelican Cottage is a cozy delight with personal touches like extra toiletries, fluffy comforters and little pots of local honey. It's nestled in a residential neighborhood, convenient in all directions to the beach and shops. Our morning walks to the beach along Soquel Creek, where light dances on the waterway and steam rises from the historical cottages, was filled with friendly faces and happy banter. Our mini-surf vacation was so relaxing because we felt at home. The updated bath and kitchen were nicer than our own home and rather than finding bare cupboards and fridge shelves, they were filled with condiments, light breakfast fare and even fresh coffee. We found ease in use of all appliances and relished simple pleasures like board games and reading. When you finally arrive at your vacation destination the last thing you want to do is waste precious time setting the place up for basic comforts so this was a gift. Deb and Teri know how to treat their guests like family and we are grateful. Thank you!
