Oceanfront cottage with deck, stunning 180-degree views & 7.5 acres

Elk Rock Beach Cottage

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

The open ocean and the spectacular cliffs of the Northern California Coast unfold before you at this incredibly positioned oceanfront cottage in Elk! Here atop a breathtaking bluff, you can watch unforgettable sunsets from a viewing deck that sits above the crashing waves and Elk Rock below. You'll have a 180-degree vantage point of the entire coastline, more than seven acres of oceanfront land, and a darling, beachy cottage to welcome you home.

An ideal escape for whale-watchers, wildlife enthusiasts, and those simply seeking a beautiful retreat, this light-filled home is full of casual elegance - from the bleached wood beams to the plush, wrought iron beds. You can read the morning paper in view of the ocean, prepare breakfast on updated appliances in the kitchen, and grill outside on the deck for lunch overlooking the water.

Whether your interests lie in wild beaches, dramatic vistas, ocean kayaking, or diving and surfing, you'll find it all on this majestic stretch of shoreline. This home sits just over a mile south of the town of Elk and Greenwood State Beach, 11 miles south of the historic Albion River Bridge (the last wooden bridge in operation on Highway 1), and 18 miles south of charming downtown Mendocino.

If you hop in the car for a drive up the coast, you can make scenic stops at Navarro Beach (eight miles north), Navarro River Redwoods State Park (11 miles northeast), Mendocino Headlands State Park (19 miles north), Russian Gulch State Park (21 miles north), and the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens (25 miles north). To the south, the Point Arena Lighthouse (18 miles south) is famous for its wonderful sunsets.

Coastal Treasure
The property was more remote than we anticipated. If you are looking for a true getaway, this is your spot. The local Elk grocery & mercantile store clerks were wonderful and full of ideas to fill our time. We took a trip to Mendocino and Fort Bragg along the beautiful coast. The house was so cozy, clean & charming. We will for sure return

Very Nice Getaway
We stayed at this property for my milestone birthday. The scenery and ocean sounds are so welcoming. Regional coastline, vineyards and Redwoods are spectacular. The house was plenty spacious, with a well-stocked kitchen and laundry nook. The bed linens and towels were super comfortable, and the fireplace was cozy. I would, however, shorten the front door code. The lock is very particular on how fast/slow you enter the current long code.

Spectacular View
We had a lovely stay at this renovated farmhouse. The place was very cozy, comfortable and clean. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. There is limited closet space and no chest of drawers, but with only two people, we used the second bedroom as our closet. The view from the deck was spectacular where you can see harbor seals and their pups on a sand spit below. We also had a few deer visit in the yard and the place was very private with no nearby neighbors. We'll definitely return. P.S. While our stay was almost perfect, a few things could have made it even better. First clear directions on entering the front door. Vacasa provided an entry code, but neglected to mention that once you enter the code, while the light is blinking to turn the deadbolt key slot to the right. So we needed to call Vacasa and get a code for a manual key. The directions to enter and exit the front door are very clear in the binder inside the home, but that doesn't help when you're trying to get in for the first time. Also, there were no directions on how to work the TV. The manual said to refer to directions left on the mantel and there were none. Took us quite a bit of time to figure it out each time we wanted to turn on the TV. Also, the back deck door is a bit tricky to lock and instructions would be helpful. Lastly, it would have been helpful to have a plastic cutting board and laundry detergent. Next time, we'll bring both.

Coastal Elk Gem
We absolutely loved everything about this charming Elk coastal gem. The oceanfront views were phenomenal. Being set outside of town with a scattering of other properties in the area, star gazing at night was also incredible! 5 stars :)
