Oceanfront Elk House Bluff View, Deck, Near beach

This property has incredible potential. The midcentury architecture is truly one-of-a-kind—full of character and perched in a location that offers stunning, unobstructed ocean views. The design alone makes it memorable and worth considering for anyone who appreciates vintage style. However, the interior could use some updates. While the space feels nostalgic, much of it feels dated in a way that affects comfort. Some of the furniture is worn, and the kitchen essentials—especially the pans and utensils—are in need of replacement. Cleanliness was acceptable but not up to the standard you'd expect at this price point. With a little investment in maintenance and some modern touches, this home could be a five-star gem. Until then, it’s best suited for those who value architectural charm and location over modern comforts.

View was spectacular as well as the deck

Overall, would stay here again! My fiancé and I stayed here with two other couples for a week. There was enough space for everyone to have privacy but great communal areas when we all wanted to be together. The outside patio area of the main house is amazing and the view is spectacular! The downstairs bedroom in the main house does not have a door, but we actually found that to not be an issue-sounds didn’t really travel in the house. There is no bathroom on the bottom floor, however (the closest bathroom is on the main level where the kitchen and living room are), so keep that in mind. The fireplaces in the main house were not working during our stay, which was a bummer, and we weren’t given much advance notice about that. Hopefully, they will have those working again soon. The smaller house is super cute and cozy and the fireplace worked great in there. The large bed in the smaller house wasn’t very comfortable (seemed to not have great supports in place), so FYI. But, overall, we had an amazing time and would stay here again!

We had an incredible stay at this home. The views were absolutely stunning, the beds comfortable, and the sound system for watching movies at night by the fire on the projector was awesome. There was ample firewood to last for the entire stay and it was a nice touch to have the fireplaces prepared when we arrived. There were A LOT of kitchen appliances, but the glassware was lacking. Because there are so many drawers, it could use a bit of organization so things were grouped better and able to be found more easily. We also ran out of propane for the grill (only used once) so that would have been nice to have been checked before we arrived. The tub/shower in the main house upstairs wouldn't drain, so we didn't get to use it, but otherwise everything was very clean and operated fine. It would also help to have the light switches labeled as it was a mystery sometimes trying to tell what we were turning on and off. We were well stocked with supplies, and I'm glad we were as the store prices are really high and have limited selections. I needed blackberries to make a dessert, but luckily I found a bush to pick some fresh ones! The little town is very small and cute. I'd recommend stopping in the little museum to learn about Elk and its origins. Overall, it was a wonderful home and I hope to return again next summer.

Compared to our previous stay during the pandemic this
stay found the house less well supplied and cleaned.

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay here. The architecture of the home is remarkable. The quaint town and the secluded beaches are just a short walk away. Directly in front of the home are rolling hills sprinkled with redwood trees. The real prize is the large deck at the back that overlooks a cove with crashing waves. There really is nothing like it! Don't hesitate - just say yes to booking this place!
