All the rave reviews you have read here are spot on. The PCI is a remarkable place. I grew up in Carlsbad and stayed there recently on a visit back. Filed this report to my wife: the only possible improvement would be to pick up the place and drop it on a beachfront lot. As it is, the beach is... More

At least once a year for the past 10 years, I've gone to Pelican Cove to enjoy a getaway from San Diego. It is so peaceful and charming. The breakfasts are delicious and filling. I often don't even bother brining a car. Last time I was dropped off, and every day walked over to the nearby shopping center to enjoy... More

I just loved this place in sunny Carlsbad, CA. The rooms were spacious enough with huge comfortable beds and delightful comfy white bedding on the beds. The landscape is so inviting and screams of California! It's a great place to stay in a very nice relaxing atmosphere.

Nancy is such a wonderful host and a superb cook! The featherbeds were so cozy and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. We were a very short walk from the beach and village. The best word to describe the Pelican Cove Inn- charming!!- that goes for Nancy too. Now that my daughter lives a short drive away anytime we... More

First, and foremost, Nancy is an absolute gem. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely bed and breakfast and would come back in a heart beat. The entire experience was great. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and location was gorgeous. We would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone and everyone.

We reserved the Carlsbad room for our "baby-moon" this last weekend. When we arrived we we immediately felt welcomed by Nancy and she offered us a free upgrade to the Santa Barbara room which was available. We promptly took advantage of her offer! The room was excellent with tons of space, a comfortable feather bed, romantic gas fireplace, and some... More

I came to Carlsbad last weekend to run a corporate half marathon and to have a visit with my mother. I booked an extra night and it really was the weekend getaway that I did not know I needed. Beautiful room and fabulous food.

My husband and I spent my birthday at the lovely Pelican Cove B&B. We chose the Coronado room since it is on the ground floor and were pleased to learn it was separated from the main house. The room is decorated for a perfect romantic, secluded getaway in peach/green decor. We loved the 4 poster king feather bed. The breakfasts... More

This could, and should, be a 5 star establishment. The location is excellent--two blocks from the beach and easy walking to food, shopping and entertainment. Nancy is a jewel and provides all the goodies you need for a day at the beach--chairs, umbrellas, etc. Breakfast is typical B&B fare and served in the somewhat awkward dining room with dogs running...

I agree with the rest of the reviews, this is a great B&B. The room was very simple, no frills, but all was clean and well maintained. When we arrived my wife and I were greeted by a very well mannered young lady who immediately showed us to our room. Nancy was fantastic. Warm, kind, sharing and informative. It's so... More
