This property and it's views are exactly what was expected... and we had high hopes! All communications with our hosts were incredibly responsive and rapid without blowing up are inbox allowing us to indeed "escape" as we wished.Although the property unfortunately has a public beach access walkway directly along and within and very close proximity to our balcony, seeing we went during the non-tourist season, the beach path was quiet from the public traffic. The nearby towns are all quite wonderful with art and culture. We definitely would escape into this area again.

Location/views splendid. Cottage was well equipped and comfortable. Great bed - view from the main bedroom and listening to the waves marvelous.We didn’t do any fancy cooking but kitchen had everything we needed.Plenty of warmth and fireplace a nice touch.Access to the beach easy and close by.The only glitches were quickly attended to (1. Check in instructions did not arrive as indicated. We called but voice mail was full. I sent a message through the website and got a call back within 10 minutes and we resolved it.2. Shower door fell off part way through our stay. I sent a message through the website requesting repair and suggesting a best timeframe for us the next day. Quickly got a response apologizing and stating maintenance would come the following day at the requested time - which they did).Property itself could use some weed eating maintenance.Elk is a very cute small town. The listing spoke about the restaurant Queenie’s, but it has been closed since 2023. The Elk Store does have good deli sandwiches, and some breakfast sandwiches but folks should plan on bringing most of what they want to eat.The Maritime Cafe is located in the former Queenie’s spot. They are only open Th -Sunday but we had a great meal there. We also ate at Sibo, which is part of The Elk Cove Inn. Pricey, beautiful location. I had an exquisite salmon dish. My wife had a cassoulet that was disappointing. They also are only open Th - Sun.

House could use more visible numbers to see at driveway entrance. Very clean. In need of new window treatments. Great view.

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.
