We came to Cambria for the Eroica California 2019 vintage bike ride & Casa Pelicano was the perfect home for our family of 5 + a nurse caretaker. The house is expansive, warm & inviting, and exudes quality & thoughtful touches throughout. It immediately felt like our Cambria home. We stayed a full week.
CP sits at the end of long secluded driveway & has two paths up to the entrance. The exterior is well lit for safety. Underneath is a deep four space garage . The kitchen is very modern & well equipped with all kinds of cookware & appliances, coffeemakers & serving ware.. The fridge & pantry are well stocked with most condiments, spices, & general supplies, plus a Brita filtered water pitcher & icemaker.
The living / dining room is HUGE & comfy. The WiFi is fast & the audio / visual system works great but have Lachlan (manager) explain how to work it. Oddly, some channels like Disney Jr. come in fine in HD on the other room TV systems but in SD (480i) on the main system & look a bit fuzzy - Lachlan is working on it. Otherwise Blu-Rays play nicely & clear. Lots of room to rest, relax or work. Patios off the kitchen & dining room / Master BR gave a great view of the treeline & coastal surf sounds were very relaxing. There is view of Hwy 1 + a little traffic noise but easily ignored.
The master BR / bathroom is fabulous & quiet with a large walk in closet. The two other bedrooms are good sized & comfortable. All beds and linens were very comfortable. The Billiard room is large & the table plays easily. Each of the above rooms has its own Flatscreen TV.
The tower off the entry was a delight - high views of the surrounding landscape, coast & ocean off the balcony, quiet & well lit for reading & rest, plus excellent WiFi streaming reception. Open the doors for breeze & surf.
My handicapped daughter uses a power wheelchair and she had no problems getting in or out & moving around inside. There are no steps on entry & door/hallways are easy to traverse except for the one step down to the billiard room. The Northeast bedroom has sufficient space underneath to allow a patient lift for assisting getting in & out of bed - note that all beds are relatively high so that could be a challenge for some. Very few homes in Cambria are handicap accessible due to age & style of entry/construction.
A wonderful home stay & we'll certainly be back again. Lachlan is a great & responsive manager, in touch all the way. 5 Stars!
