Don’t stay here if you don’t have four wheel drive we could not get our car out of the gravel drive way for one hour and Vacasa was no help. The house is adequate the view is breathtaking. The little town is great. But I would never stay in a Vacasa managed property again.

Spring break mini vacation

The views from the house were incredible! Loved the walk to the beach with my son and dogs. The market was lovely, and The Elk Restaurant and the Greenwood were wonderful. Would've love to stay longer.

Beautiful as always

This is our 3rd annual trip and it never disappoints. The view of the beach from the bedroom is breathtaking. I also enjoyed all of the upgrades to the home. It made the stay just a bit sweeter.

Lovely time

This house feels bigger in person than in the listing. We saw the other reviews about the steep driveway but it didn't worry us much but we had a jeep. Kitchen well appointed. Views outstanding. Clean for a remote area like that. I expected to see a bug at any moment but never did. A family of deer was out roaming right next to the house one evening. You can walk to the market and vendors in the tiny town and to the park to take the trail to the beach. We'd absolutely stay again.

Gorgeous place

The location and view were outstanding! If you want a quiet, relaxing, simple place where you can sit in bed and stare at a gorgeous view all day long, and walk to a lovely beach daily, this is the perfect spot for you! It was a bit of a drive to Mendo, hiking, etc., but we didn't mind. Do be aware that the place is not especially private from your cohabitors. The one bathroom is accessible through the back bedroom, and the front bedroom (with the view) has a curtain rather than a door.

Funky but charming, and what a VIEW!

This cottage has a somewhat odd layout, with the sole bathroom accessible only through one of the bedrooms, and the other bedroom separated from the kitchen only by a curtain. But it is perfect for a couple, or two close friends, or a couple with one or two tweens who can share a bed. It’s cozy, comfy, and reasonably well equipped, and the view is amazing. Easy walk to Greenwood Beach and “downtown” Elk. The steep, bumpy driveway is the only serious drawback.

Great View but…

The view and location are great but there is not a comfortable chair in the house. Threadbare carpet and you are asked to remove your shoes, furniture at best from second hand stores and lumpy mattresses. No beach towels as promised and one dish towel this place could be incredibly cute and comfy with minimal effort. We will look elsewhere for our next stay.

The views are spectacular

The views at this rental are spectacular. The house is clean and comfortable. The deck in the back for enjoy the view was so great we sat out to watch sunset even though it was raining. There are many hummingbirds that fly around all over the garden and are also fun to watch. We had an unfortunate safety issue. We travel with a small travel trailer 6x10 feet and asked if the property was suitable for us to park it. We were told it was suitable . It was not due to the steep driveway that is on a cliff and the size of the parking area. We spent a great deal of time with many texts and calls arranging with Vacasa to have assistance leaving the property safely with our trailer.
