About this property

Oceanfront Elk Cottage - Deck, Views & 7 Acres

  • Summary:

    Elk Rock Beach Cottage



    The Space:

    The open ocean and the spectacular cliffs of the Northern California Coast unfold before you at this incredibly positioned oceanfront cottage in Elk! Set on a breathtaking bluff, you'll be able to 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, beach-y 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. Start your day off with the view of the ocean, prepare breakfast on updated appliances in the kitchen, and grill outside on the deck for lunch overlooking the water.



    Perfect for all nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts - you can explore wild beaches, dramatic vistas, go kayaking, diving or 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 (8 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.

Beautiful ocean view

This property is located on Highway One right on the edge of a cliff. The views are stunning. The house could use some minor upgrades such as a newer dining room table and chairs (chairs felt loose) and kitchen needs some minor updating. Those details aside the stay was awesome and the pros outweigh any cons in our opinion. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

Really special view

Really enjoyed the cozy vibes of the cottage and well-stocked kitchen for cooking. The view is seriously amazing. Very special to get to relax by the beautiful coastal cliffs. One thing: The doors to the deck look like they're made to open all the way up (and presumably were intended for this) but actually got stuck and became immovable. Flipping through the guidebook for a solution we eventually found a sticky note that said 'don't open the doors, they'll get stuck' -- which is both too little too late -- probably needs more explicit notice, and is also a shame because it'd be amazing if they functioned properly to open up to the wonderful view. Would be great to see that get fixed. Would love to come back.
