The Pelican Cove Inn

by Melissa Hamilton

 

innsign.JPG (45214 bytes)When lately in Carlsbad, California, I had the good fortune of staying at the Pelican Cove Inn (www.carlsbadca.org) The Carlsbad area is lovely; the town offers visitors a delightful array of activities from shopping, dining, to frolicking in the ocean waves within easy walking distance.

The Pelican Cove Inn itself is an attractive bed and breakfast located approximately one block from the sandy beaches. The inn has eight rooms, and I enjoyed the simple yet luxurious surroundings of the Pelican Cove Inn.

Greetings

Nancy, one of the Pelican Cove Inn's owners, greeted me with a warm, bright smile. She was a most attentive and solicitous hostess to all her guests! I found the décor of the foyer very charming - Victorian style furniture, fresh flowers, books, and magazines invite her guests to enter through the glass patio doors and make themselves at home.      innfront.JPG (33968 bytes)
I appreciated the maps available for those not familiar with the freeways and roads in the area.

Front entrance of the Inn


The Coronado Room

The Inn has multi-themed rooms available. I stayed in the Coronado room which is decorated in soft pastels and lovely pictures gracing the walls. Guests can hang their clothes in the beautiful armoire by the door. The four poster canopy feather bed and spa tub were the highlights of the room! With the flip of a switch, a warm fire comes alive in the fireplace by the bed. (The chocolate candies by the fireplace are a yummy touch). The garden.JPG (26739 bytes)soft breezes coming from the ocean drifted through the open windows creating a very pleasant temperature. Shades could be pulled down for privacy.


Private garden behind the Inn

I did come upon a delightful surprise on the lace-covered table by the bed. Nancy has several diaries on display whereby guests can write a comment or two about their visit. Reading each statement or story brought a smile to my face. Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Days, and honeymoons were just some of the reasons couples had stayed at the Inn. Guests had come from all over the country, i.e., Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Arizona, New Jersey, and Mexico, just to name a few.

Guests share their thoughts in table diaries in their rooms.

"The Pelican Cove adds such charm to the wonderfully quaint town."

"Certainly a romantic interlude for us."

"We came to spend our honeymoon here. We loved it!"

"Had a great third anniversary. The breakfast here is out-of-this world!"

"I’ve rarely been anyplace where I felt so at home."

"The food and hospitality were perfect."

"Thank you for helping us create a memory."

The parking was extremely convenient with parking spaces on site. A private entrance is an added feature for the rooms. Guests can come and go at their leisure.

The charm and comfort was one of the niceties of the Pelican Cove Inn! The hospitality Nancy extended, with a hug for her guests upon departure, made me feel as though I had stayed at a friend’s home.

The romantic ambiance, privacy, and charming town of Carlsbad make this bed and breakfast a place to stay!
