Oceanfront Elk Home Steps to Beach & Pet-Friendly



House in Elk, California
Overview
Greenwood Beach Cottage
Picture yourself at this cozy, dog-friendly cottage with spectacular views, just steps from Greenwood State Beach and cove. This rental is perfect for a romantic getaway where you can enjoy the majesty of the ocean out on the deck while you sip your favorite beverage, take in the amazing show of stars in the evening, or head inside and cozy up in front of the fireplace. What's nearby: Queenie's Roadhouse Café, with delicious coffee drinks and sumptuous fresh omelets, is a two-minute walk from the cottage, while the Elk Grocery and Deli next door has all the fixings to fill your picnic baskets. Take a short stroll over to Bridget Dolan's Pub and delight in the warm ambiance and excellent menu. Just 10 miles up the coast, enjoy dinner at Ledford House or the Albion River Inn, or continue north a few more miles to reach the picturesque community of Mendocino. With its quaint period inns, breathtaking views, and superb restaurants, Mendocino is bursting with artsy, unique shops for all. Visit the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens that overlook the ocean or explore the “secret” Glass Beach near Fort Bragg where the ground glistens with multicolored sea glass. If you’re interested in hiking or doing some wine-tasting at the houses of nationally acclaimed local labels, travel east to walk among the expansive set of old redwoods at Hendy Woods State Parks, and then visit a host of famous vineyards and wineries - such as Navarro and Husch - nestled throughout the Tuscany-inspired Anderson Valley.

Hearing to the waves at night was relaxing and waking up with the beautiful view from my window was awesome.
View and location are hard to beat.
Nice little place to stay for less.. The couch is not comfortable, pillows are old and flat. Lots of overgrown grass and weeds. Broken metal mini blinds obstructing an awesome view of the ocean. The owners clearly use this for income and not as a true vacation getaway. And although the picture shows this house on the beach, it is not. It is at least a mile walk down a significant hill and then back up. I wish it was a little more focused on, “vacation home.” I was not comfortable or relaxed. I just wanted to get out and go somewhere else. No laundry here so bring plenty of clothes and a blanket. Best was, it did allow for my dog, it was clean, and a good price for the coast.
Loved the view very out standing. Didn’t like the driveway. It was hard to find.
The first problem was the driveway. My Prius scraped coming in, then got stuck in several inches of gravel trying to get out! Same problem as a previous guest had, and I was assured “the situation was amended”. Chad came with a team of guys who shoveled the gravel away so I could get out, and also paid to have my car checked out, replaced the broken hairdryer, missing knives and utensils, and made a list of other repairs that were going to be addressed after we left. He negotiated a small refund and free late check out as well. Then we discovered the area under the kitchen sink was flooded with water. He tried but couldn’t get a plumber so we put bowels and towels to catch the water for the next 36 hours! Chad was very responsive to our issues, but clearly no one was keeping an eye on this poor house! Such a charming cottage in a dream location deserves more attention! Oh and our last night there was a mouse in the kitchen!
The view was awesome, the house was exceptionally clean, staff was very helpful & friendly when I needed helping opening & locking up the door when arriving & departing I cannot wait to return. I will rent this place again
