Oceanview studio near town and the beach with fireplace, full kitchen & deck

Vista de la Playa

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

Book a romantic retreat for two or even a solo getaway at this lovely Elk vacation rental! You'll enjoy stunning ocean views, WiFi, a full kitchen, a gas fireplace, and more while you explore this sleepy coastal town.

This studio-style retreat is located upstairs from a garage workshop on the property of a larger coastal home (where the owners live) and has its own entrance and private space. The property is right by a path leading to Elk's small village, so you can easily walk to Queenie's Roadhouse Cafe for lunch or down to the beach. And for more city amenities, Mendocino is just a scenic 17-mile drive to the north.

Inside this comfortable, newly remodeled space, you'll be treated to slanted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a light and bright space. This rental also includes one bathroom with a shower.

After an afternoon beachcombing in Elk or gallery browsing in Mendocino, come back and relax, watching some cable TV or reading a book. You'll also have WiFi to stay in touch and post photos from your Northern California Coast adventure.

You'll find the kitchen fully equipped with everything you need for meals, including a breakfast bar for seating. Whip up a clam chowder while a winter storm makes the waves crash outside. There is no dishwasher but you can always let the pots and pans soak while you take in the views or watch a movie.

In nice weather, head to the deck equipped with comfortable patio chairs for a lazy afternoon with a book, or take the path into the village and peruse the Greenwood Museum & Visitor Center. There are great views from the bluff as well as the beach. In the mood for some pampering on your vacation? You can even book a massage at the Elk Cove Inn and Spa right in town.

Scenic and peaceful Elk is well-situated for day trips to Fort Bragg and Mendocino to the north and Gualala and other small towns along the Sonoma Coast to the south. And at the end of the day, come back to your cute and cozy studio for a home-cooked meal.

Get away from the hustle and bustle with a stay at this Northern California Coast vacation rental!

Lovely little place
Spectacular views of the ocean. Cute little studio room with all amenities. The kitchen. Was great, full fridge, gas stove, shower, ceiling fan and good air flow. The owner is a retired construction contractor so the place is nice. We loved the conversation starter questions left for us which we used instead of watching TV

My Refuge in Elk
The experience I had in Elk was wonderful. The studio was easy to find. Everything needed was provided. There was a lovely fan for warm afternoons, and an easy-to-use propane fireplace for cool nights. The neighborhood was very quiet, and it was only a 20-minute walk to the Greenwood State Park beach. I came because I needed a rest/break from being a caregiver for months of a family member. This was perfect. I would recommend this to all my friends, and hope to stay again there myself. Thank you very much.

Small, functional and clean. Excellent location/views.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay here. All was as described and very quiet. My only two issues to pass on to owners are that it would be nice to have an option to pull some drapes to shade the morning sunlight and allow for sleeping in (esp over the bed)....and that proper foot stools be provided for the couch. They ones there are so low, it's uncomfortable on your back/knees and since they slide on the hardwood floors, they will not stay in place if you want to just rest your foot against it. The refrigerator might also be addressed as it it louder that optimal in such a small place, near the bed. We'll certainly consider visiting again. Thanks!

Great comfortable studio with ocean view
This studio had everything you could want including a deck with an ocean view. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Great for one person or a couple. The only minor thing is that the deck is not on the same level as the studio so involves stairs...good exercise.

Wonderful, private, romantic get-away with great ocean view
A clean, quiet get-away location with a wonderful ocean view on a hillside overlooking the pacific. The private cottage is close to several small towns (including Mendocino), great restaurants, several beaches and points of interest. We had a magnificent time, relaxed and went to sleep every night to the sound of ocean waves crashing against the rocks and washing onto the beach.

Limited view
We were not to excited about this rental. Aside from missing essential items like a hot mit for cooking and a fly swatter for pesty flys, we couldn't see much of what the posting showed as views. The studio had a deck, located outside and below, but not much of the view that you see in the posting. You get what you pay for. Our mistake, we usually rent homes and will go back to that. If privacy is what your looking for, skip this one.

Tiny, welcoming town
We were looking to spend some time disconnected and this was perfect. No cell signal (but good WiFi in the studio) meant we could be as available as we had to be. The studio is a great space and a quick walk to the store or the beach. We loved sitting on the deck in the afternoons when the sun came out and listening to the neighbor's roosters wake in the morning. It was a perfect escape.

The studio was clean and cozy.
The studio was clean and cozy. We felt very comfortable in the studio. It was nice to have the path into town and the path along the bluff and to the beach. Only two places to eat in town but we can see they are working on more options. It was very quiet . Just what we were looking for.

Perfect Studio Getaway
I loved this space, it was perfect for my needs. The property is meticulously maintained and gorgeous. It is quiet, with lovely views of the ocean and surrounding area from the windows. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking, and the space was well organized and laid out. Everything was in perfect working condition, seemed like new and thoughtfully designed. I would love to stay there again and again.

Loved this place!
We were so happy with this studio apartment. It was modern and very clean! The view is spectacular!! The owners really paid attention to all the details, even the pots and pans were good quality and not cheap like most vrbos. The bed is very comfy. The town of Elk is small but quaint. There's a grocery store with a deli and the owners are very helpful. Medincino is only about 20 minutes away. We would highly recommend this place!

This place is ok but not great.
To start with the positive. The place was very clean and well equipped. They have everything you might need for your stay. The negative. There were signs all over the place with rules and restrictions. It made us feel nervous to use or touch anything. Im not sure if they had bad experiences in the past with other guests but we didn't appreciate yellow signs everywhere. Also they charged us a really high cleaning fee and the place is very small. One more thing...the hot water ran out very quick so only one person got a warm or hot shower.

A well-outfitted & very tidy studio with a world-class view!
My wife & 8-yr old son stayed here for almost a week in April. We love this town and were so happy to find this studio. The studio is very new as is all of the finish work, furnishings, linens, housewares, etc. The bed was very comfortable and our son slept great on the convertible. There are amazing views of the Pacific coastline from the front window and also a very nice meadow & hillside view out the back. The studio was very quiet - no noise from neighbors or roads - and nicely spaced away from the owners home. This area has endless adventures: redwood hikes, estuary paddling, wineries, beaches, biking, bluffs & lighthouses. We'll be back!
