“The location is great. The house is very comfortable and clean. Our family enjoyed the view. The accessibility to the beach is nice.” – Chung Li

Welcome to Pelican’s Rest, your serene coastal escape in Bodega Bay. Just a 7-minute walk to the beach, this cozy retreat blends modern comfort with stunning coastal views. Savor fresh seafood, enjoy sunset wine, or unwind to the rhythm of the waves—Pelican’s Rest is perfect for families, couples, and friends seeking coastal charm and relaxation.

About The Space:

Step inside a tranquil coastal retreat where the sound of crashing waves and sweeping ocean views create a deeply relaxing atmosphere. Designed for both comfort and connection, Pelican’s Rest offers open, sunlit spaces that invite conversation, reflection, and togetherness.

Out on the deck, sip your morning coffee as waves crash below, or enjoy a glass of wine at sunset while grilling dinner and taking in the cool ocean breeze.

After a day of exploring the coast, sink into the hot tub and let the warmth melt your cares away. Whether you're unwinding under the stars or easing into the day with a peaceful morning soak, the hot tub is always ready for you.

Inside, the main living area features plush seating, a cozy fireplace, and expansive windows that fill the room with natural light and panoramic ocean views. Whether you're curled up with a book, sharing stories by the fire, or watching a Pacific sunset, this space encourages total relaxation.

The modern kitchen—with butcher block counters, beachy blue-and-white cabinetry, is both functional and charming. Cook a seaside feast or enjoy casual breakfasts with ocean breezes drifting through the windows.

Bedrooms are outfitted with plush bedding and a calming coastal aesthetic. Two California king beds offer luxurious rest, while the loft queen bed provides a bright, airy sleeping nook (best for guests who don’t need total privacy).

Whether you're here for a quick recharge or a longer stay, this is the kind of place that stays with you.
