Perfect spot!

We stayed at this house for our trip to the Redwoods. It was in a great location and a private entrance to the beach! You can’t get much better than that!

Wonderful way to wrap up 2024 Summer!

We go every year with our families to the oregon coast at labor day. This houses access to the beach was amazing! Super easy check in and check out. Shannon the host was super accommodating and very easy and responsive to work with. Definitely a must rent for VRBO if you’re looking for a clean, nice, safe place to stay.

Love the Pelican!

This is our second time staying at the Pelican and it was even better this time. It's clear the property owner and host have put a little love into the home with an updated master bath, linens, and an outdoor shower! The location is perfect, the beach access is super easy, and the home was clean. We had a great time, and will definitely come back again soon.

Picture Perfect

5 picture perfect days/nights at the Pelican. Very well-appointed house & well-equipped kitchen. Great location - we enjoyed walks on the beautiful expansive beach, visiting the J Smith redwoods, and 9 holes at Del Norte. Nice dinner out @ Black Trumpet Bistro in Brookings & fresh fish from Pacific Ocean Harvesters in Harbor for grilling at home. Fell into THE most comfortable beds ever after fun-filled days. THANK YOU!

Just About Perfect

My whole family loved our stay in this house. Perfectly situated between water and woods. So clean, updated and modern, well-stocked and organized. The little gift basket with snacks was so welcoming! I only wish the master bedroom had windows that could be opened at night instead of a door. Or maybe put a screen on the door? The water was so easily accessible, I would have my morning coffee on the beach!

Spring break

The property was very nice and the master bedroom was gorgeous. The only problem we had was the listing online said there would be a hot tub and there wasn’t a hot tub on the property, so yes the kids and family was bummed out because it was one of the two main reasons we picked the rental. I talked with the owner about it and they offered to help us find a new property if it was going to be a deal breaker , but who can find a new rental when you have to find these Vrbo a month or more out for the days you want ? Anyways all I asked was for them to take the hot tub info offline so that nobody else is looking for a rental with a hot tub and shows up to be bummed out about the hot tub like we where . Other then that it was a great location and beautiful views

Gets better every stay

This is our 3rd time to this rental and they just keep improving an already awesome place to stay. Lots of nice new upgrades since our last stay but still has the same beautiful ocean views and sounds. Easy checkin, easy stay, easy checkout...thanks for a wonderful experience.

We took all 5 grandkids and our son with us to this property and it was AMAZING!! We all had walkie talkies and could communicate with each other at the beach. The private path was the best part. Loved the whole experience!

We were very pleased with this property. It was extremely well maintained. Plenty of "extras" were provided. Very quiet. My grown daughters and grown granddaughter loved walking the beach area. We all enjoyed using the grill for burgers and hot dogs one day. Plenty of chairs, sofas, blankets, etc.

It was a very comfortable house with an amazing view and you could hear the ocean waves from the house. The host was wonderful and very responsive when we couldn’t open the door. The path to the beach was short and sweet and even my elderly in-laws could make the walk. We will definitely try to visit again!

Wonderful location for the beach. I do wish owners could consider higher quality of pots and pans and the spatulas. But, sadly, people steal. We ate in all but 1 night. We enjoyed our time. Plenty of towels and games and books.

Beautiful setting; easy access to beach; quiet neighborhood; plenty of room inside and out. Kitchen well equipped. Barbeque in good shape w/enough fuel. Plenty of parking onsite. One suggestion is to provide additional rolls of paper towels for kitchen, and boxes of tissue for the bathrooms. There was enough toilet paper.
