Nancy,
You make your lovely place even more so by your friendly hospitality! Thanks so much!.
-- B & J Sundstrom --

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.

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.

-- S. & J.

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.

Balboa Room

Dear Nancy:
Our stay was refreshing! Breakfast was always yummy - you have a nice touch - I love the garden area, too.
Will come back!
-- Fondley, Christine --

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. --

Thanks for the Hospitality! - A great place to stay while having corporate meetings - Love the feather beds!
-- S. P. Inc. --

Such a wonderful, relaxing place to find at the end of a long trip. We may have found you by fortunate
accident, but we will remember and return on purpose. Thanks for everything!

-- R. & K.G., Houston, Texas

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.

-- R.S., Atlanta, Georgia

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.

-- J.& R., Carlsbad, California

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.

-- C. & L.F, Simi Valley, California

Carlsbad Room

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!

-- M & P, Portland, Maine --

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.

-- R. & A.P., Rancho Penasquitos, California

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

-- K.M., White Bear Lake, Minnesota

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!

-- K. & T.W, Newport Beach, California

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

We love the Pelican Cove Inn! This is our second visit and our second room. We've had two great evening and have enjoyed the hospitality.
Nancy, thank you for making both stays memorable ones!

-- J. & D.B., Yucaipa, California

Newport Room

Best place we ever stayed in America!
-- Kathrin & Michael, Berlin, Germany

A special place
For our special time
A warm and precious day

Our heart felt thanks
In this little rhyme
For such a lovely stay
--Tom and Irene, Chula Vista, CA

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 --Mike and Kristin

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.
--Jim and Mary Lou, Poway, CA

Thanks for a great stay --Lana and Scott, Calgary, Canada

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

Capistrano Room

Wonderful place to stay while on a short business trip...hope to return soon on vacation. Friendly "B & B" experience which
will hopefully lead to more in the future.
--Bety

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!)
--Bill and Mary, Cincinnati

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!
