Bright Home 800 Feet from Salmon Creek Beach w/ Wood Stove & Pool Table

Pelican House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Beautifully situated among the wind-blown cypress, this Bodega Bay home offers a wonderful blend of privacy and convenience. In this serene coastal setting, you'll be only 800 feet from an access point to Salmon Creek Beach and the wild Pacific Ocean.

The Pelican House sits in a copse of trees just north of downtown, a respite for beach-goers in every season and those looking to explore the beauties of the Sonoma Coast. As you step inside, you'll find the main living space on the second floor, where vaulted ceilings and immense windows create a calming coastal atmosphere. The living room is perfect for reading or completing a puzzle in the light of the many windows and the warmth of the wood-burning stove; it seamlessly flows into a compact - but fully equipped - kitchen and a six-person dining space. There are two decks - a tree-lined deck off the kitchen and a more sheltered deck that connects the living room to the upstairs bedroom.

Between long walks on the beach and scenic drives up Highway 1, you'll find a great space to relax at home in the downstairs den offering a pool table and a flatscreen cable TV with streaming capability.

Cozy
Great spot and cute place. Lots of stairs so be weary of that. My dad is older and moves slowly so he didn’t even go to the second floor but luckily there was everything he needed on the first floor. Very cute and cozy inside. Some of the lights seemed to not work or be intermittent. There was an loudish humidifier (or something downstairs) that would kick on and off that we weren’t allowed to turn off. It also seemed to be a big power draw as the lights dimmed every time it kicked on. Pool table was nice but think the cues need some attention. Missing some tips and it’s tight in some spaces so you need the smaller cue but they were all missing the tip. Really close to places to eat and walk to the beach which was shower nice. Cleaning fee seemed a bit high especially since we weren’t really there but to sleep. But, I would go back here again. .

Girl's Trip
Myself, my sister and a high school friend reunited and had a wonderful tine on the west coast. We had a fabulous time staying at the Pelican House! Proximity to beach was superb. Everthing we needed for our stay was right at our finger tips. The home was very clean, and beds were comfy. Just a couple of cob webs hanging around in areas usually missed by routine house keeping. We would absolutely stay at Pelican House in Bodega Bay, again, when visiting!

Nice location but neglected property
Nice location, with beautiful sun-lit living room, but otherwise underwhelming for the price. This property is not managed by the owner, but instead, VACASA, a management company. Seems like the place is suffering from neglect. Downstairs bedroom bed broke when my (petite) sister-in-law first sat on it. Seems like the slats were not the right size (I have picture to share if relevant). Front two elements on electric stove do not work. Hood vent did not work in kitchen, so fire alarm went off. Rack wheel broken on top dishwasher rack, so difficult to move. Only one rack in oven: should have at least two, and I needed a second one. Rods missing from several venetian blinds in living, so can't close when sun is streaming in. Significant water damage in upstairs bathroom: plywood panelling warped and broken (also have picture to share).

Pelican House was great!
Quiet, relaxing, clean property with extremely close access to Salmon Creek State Beach. Plenty of room for a family of up to 6 to stay & sleep comfortably if needed. My husband & I came here for a getaway weekend and it was exactly what we got. Close to HWY 1 for drives along the coast and exploring the area. Would stay again! Thank you!

Few comments
We enjoyed staying at the place but there are few things can be improved: Entry lock set is not easy to use. Under cabinet lights were not working at all. There was a power outage but we couldn’t find any flash lights nor matches. We could have used a wine bottle opener.

Relaxing getaway
Staying in a rustic, remote neighborhood by the beach was a perfect way to unwind and spend time with my family. It’s about 20 minutes for shopping and restaurants though a walk from the house for walks on the beach. We hiked Goat trail-about 20 minute drive on the coast, went horseback riding (outside Bodega Bay) and spent a day on the Russian River. The house was well equipped with comfortable beds and hang out area with pool table. It was a little cold when we first arrived though the central heat works. We used the wood burning stove for the rustic feel-works well to heat the house.

A Great Stay
Stayed here for our annual fishing trip on the New Sea Angler. Very impressed, great location near the beach and a very short drive to the harbor. Super clean, comfortable beds and well appointed. Some earlier reviews referenced issues, we experienced none. A great Stay!

Salmon Creek Beach and Dunes
Lovely cottage just behind the dunes. More than enough space and cozy accommodations. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly! Feedback for owners - only 1 of the 4 burners working on the stove (the smallest of course), plus would have been nice to beach chairs and an umbrella. Downstairs bed broken/sags on near door side.

helpful hints
Nice property and location. Needs some TLC and better cleaning. Downstairs toilet had dust bunny buildup below blue tape line and above it (not sure why tape line was there). Blinds were pretty bad too. Handrails on interior stairwell were very dirty--if you are going to have white hand rails they need to be clean. I wiped them down, it doesn't take much to maintain them. On the maintenance TLC: front door keyway spins freely and doesn't retract deadbolt, it needs to be pushed in to some catch point before turning the handle disengages the deadbolt. Not sure if this is a design flaw or it needs some attention. Kitchen sink faucet needs an adjustment/new washers. If it is not put in an exact location it leaks--problematic because it is not the normal all the way down position. Dining room chairs: 1 is missing a bottom dowel and comes loose if you lift it from the top so it's not dragging on the floor when you pull it out. Another needs the dowels glued, I had to push it all back together before sitting on it. Pool table is a nice addition it needs a new brush (yes I brushed it before playing, it needed it) and the ball return needs to be adjusted, since the balls get stuck in the table

Disappointed
We really wanted to like this place. It's in a good location with a short walk to the beach and could be really great but there are some issues the need some serious attention. The leach field in the front yard leaking sewage really needs to be addressed. It smells terrible. There is mold on the blinds in the bedrooms and the downstairs bathroom. Even the glass on the picture frame in the hallway downstairs is moldy. The shower head in the upstairs bathroom sprays water over the shower door and onto the wood paneled wall, which explains the water damage on the wall. The valves in both of the showers are reversed so hot is cold, cold is hot. You can't run the washing machine and the furnace at the same time because there is only one functioning outlet in the furnace/laundry room. The kitchen is really small and odd shaped. You can't open the refrigerator or the oven door completely which makes using either of them difficult. You have to fuss with the kitchen faucet a bit to get it to shut off completely. The propane was almost out so we tried calling the Guest Services number left on the Welcome brochure but it didn't work. Really just feels like lack of care. It could be a great place to stay if the owners put some care and maintenance into it but we probably wouldn't stay here again.
