This is our 1st wedding anniversary. Being here gave us a scarce
chance to relax and sleep
in each others arms. The room is elegant and beautiful. I especially
liked the carpet, lamps, high
ceiling and fan -- and the feather bed. We have one at home but are now
going to get a down comforter
too so we always remember how we felt here.
-- Anne Marie & Mike --
This was our honeymoon suite, our first night together as man and
wife. We highly recommend the tub.
It was such a very romantic night following a beautiful day. Our of all
of the hotels that we will be
staying in over this next week, we will always remember the Coronado
Room at the Pelican Cove Inn.
See you in a few years.
-- M. & J.

This is our first visit to Pelican Cove. We are celebrating our 18th
anniversary. We chose
Carlsbad Village because friends told us it was a great place to
de-compress (and it is). We will be back,
but in the future we will come to Carlsbad because of Pelican Cove. The
room is beautiful and the feather bed
soothing. We couldn't have asked for better hospitality. Thank you,
Nancy.

We "stumbled" upon this delightful inn in the Fodor's Best B&B
in California. We're so glad there was a
"space" for us at the last minute. The inn is delightful, the be -oh so
comfortable and the Jacuzzi a great
way to relax (as if we needed any more relaxing!) Hopefully, we'll
return. We will certainly recommend the
Inn to anyone who loves B&B's the way we do. Thanks for a lovely
stay.

The room was incredible, the spa was to die for, and the feather bed
was the best night sleep we've had in
a long time! Thanks so much for a beautiful breakfast, gorgeous
scenery and we had the best weather!
The Coronado is a beautiful place to spend the weekend! Thank you.

Dear Nancy:
My stay was fabulous! I enjoy returning to the Pelican Cove and the
Balboa room. The location, the garden,
the pelicans, the food, the pampering and the friendliness are perfect.
My soul gets recharged here no doubt about it! I'll be back next year
if not sooner!
-- Thank You, M.K. --

Such a wonderful, relaxing place to find at the end of a long trip.

accident, but we will remember and return on purpose. Thanks for
everything!

What a wonderful place to come home to after long meetings! I only
hope to bring my family next time so
they can share my experience!
-- M., Cincinnati, Ohio

So clean...So inviting...So warm...so home. I feel as though I'm on
vacation! I'll be back when there's
time to play. Thank you, Nancy, for delivering the personal touch. In a
time of high technology, automation,
and self-service, it's nice to know that the personal touch resides in
Carlsbad -- at the Pelican Cove Inn.

Even though we only live just a few blocks away, Pelican Cove is the
perfect get-a-way. We escaped the
"routine" for an evening and just relaxed. I will definitely recommend
Pelican Cove to others.

The Del Mar room is so open, airy & light. The perfect setting
for our fourth anniversary weekend getaway.
The service and the breakfasts were absolutely the best! We had a great
stay and enjoyed the natural beauty of Carlsbad.

The Pelican Cove B&B was an excellent choice! We picked up
some decorating tips - I never would have dared to
combine yellow & mauve, but I love it! The hostess was perfect -
warm, enthusiastic, knowledgeable of local
features & interests, a splendid chef - all in all a women who
makes Martha Stewart look like an underachiever. And
she is also not only a full-time mom to two children, but a wonderful
surrogate mother to her constantly expanding
extended family - she certainly made us feel like family!

Nancy,
This was my first stay in a B&B. I chose the Pelican Cove B&B
from your web page. I was not disappointed. You can be
assured the next
time I am in the area I'll stay here!
-- C. A., Decatur, Alabama --
We enjoyed this place so much that this is our second stay here in
this cozy room (and it won't be our last!) Nancy
is such a warm and gracious hostess that you feel so at home here. This
stay was my surprise, to my husband for our 24th
anniversary.

What a fun week, a great place to relax, and set out on excursions
while visiting with my son. It was always a pleasure to wake up to
Nancy's great breakfasts, the California sun, head out for a day of
exploring, and then come "home" to this great room. This place is
definitely a keeper for my next trip our here. Thanks, Nancy

What a wonderful experience -- our first bed & breakfast. This
room is so light and airy and cheerful. We love the sunlight
and charming atmosphere. Nancy is a very gracious, accommodating
hostess, and a fabulous cook!
We enjoyed seeing the beautiful, breathtaking flower fields. We had fun
cruising the beaches, looking in Longboard Grotto
surf shop, and browsing in antique shops in Leucadia. We would
recommend "Fish House Veracruz" to anyone -- it will make
you a fish lover, even if you're not now!
We hope to come back and stay again sometime, but even if we don't, the
memory of Pelican Cove will last a lifetime!

We're adding this to "places we must come back to again". So
light and airy. We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary with a
wonderful stay here. Nancy, you rank with some of our favorite B&B
hostesses. A great personality and a great cook! It's so great also
that the inn is only
about an hour from home. We'll be back!
-- T. & S.B, Fullerton, California

Lazy mornings wrapped up in the featherbed, Saturday afternoon on
the beach bodysurfing, and playing in the sand, taps at Dini's,
and then back to the featherbed once again, loved every minute of it!
I'm stopping in Barstow on the way back to Vegas to buy me a
featherbed, some down pillows, and a down comforter.
Thanks for everything and I am sure we'll be back

We enjoyed our short but sweet stay. It was a nice way to celebrate
our 17th anniversary. If we make it back for our 18th,
we hope to have a new baby with us.
Thank you Nancy. We'll be recommending the Pelican Cove Inn to all our
friends.

Dear Nancy,
Thank you for making our stay so comfortable. You were very
accomodating in every way- my diet, letting us borrow your sunscreen
and beach equipment, and giving us ice; just to mention a few.
Breakfast was scruptious and the bed was delightful. We most definatly
will be back! Take good care and thanks for everything!
Fondly,
--Reily and Sarah, Seattle, WA

will hopefully lead to more in the future.

What a lovely alternitave to staying in a motel! So nice and quiet
and clean, with a friendly home atmosphere. The service
and food were wonderful. Thanks for a relaxing visit. We hope to return
here if we can manage another trip without our kids
(unfortunately they would want to stay in a loud motel!)

We said it last year, and we'll say it again... Heaven on earth!
Nancy, Kris and all - you've been such a blessing to us - thank you!
--Steve & Eva
Steve and I have had the most wonderful 4 day get away ever! We so needed
this wonderful vacation...gorgeous
sunsets, romantic dinners, and delicious breakfasts! Thank you for such
gracious hospitality and memories of a
lifetime! The beaches are as beautiful as the weather is. (wish I
could bottle it and take it back to Georgia where it
is currently 22 degrees or less with ice and snow). We look
forward to returning...

What can we add to the wonderful things that have been said
already..it's all true and then some! Thank you for offering
us this spacious, luxurious and cozy Santa Barbara room. We're so
glad we found you-our stay here has truly been the "get
away from it all and relax" break from East Coast cold weather
& work stress that we'd hoped for...
--Alie and Randy

Our stay here was amazing! No hotel or resort can even touch this
place. This is a perfect place to top off our honeymoon

Rick & Lucy. Best of luck in all you do. We will see
you again!

On our 3rd visit here. We came for our 2 childrens' college
graduations. We were 1st here when both your children and
ours were so small.... P.S. The bed was like sleeping between
clouds. Our best night's sleep in years!
--Saad & Susan
We had a wonderful, relaxing, and rejuvenating weekend here.
27 years married and we still enjoy romantic weekends and
love each other's company. Breakfasts were decadent and your warm
hospitality appreciated. Dinner at Le Passage was amazing;
thanks for the suggestion.

We could not have picked a more romantic & beautiful place to
spend our honeymoon at than the Pelican Cove Inn. The
calming blue hues, "melt away" soft bed, & relaxing tub were just
what we needed. During our stay we experienced many
adventures including watching the harbor seals in La Jolla, dinner on
Coronado Island, & visitng the San Diego Zoo.
However, the best part of all was being able to wake up and come
home to such a great room/inn/&host.

What a peculiar world we live in where life always seems to get in
the way pulling two people apart. But, what a wonderful
thing it is when a husband and wife can come to a beautiful, serene,
romantic place like this to take a time out from life, jobs, and
kids.
To remember what it is to be a kid in love again. Thank you sooo
much!
