Quaint ocean view cottage on Mendocino coast
I surprised my husband with a three night getaway for his birthday. I learned about this property on VRBO. Everything as stated about the property is accurate: breath taking views, lovely accommodations and wonderful champagne breakfasts to begin each day. The property owners, Melissa and Rakesh, went out of their way to make sure our stay was amazing. They could not have been more hospitable and generous. We definitely look forward to returning!

If you are seeking a secluded room with peace and quiet except for the roar of the ocean, this is THE place for you. Really comfortable bed & soft linens, outstanding food, breathtakingly beautiful ocean view from my bed. Great shower. Short stretch of stairs and a path take you to a beach that feels essentially private (very few folks come and go) and totally manageable even if you aren’t in the greatest shape. Very kind and low key staff. Romantic, restful, private. Celebrated our 55th anniversary here and are thinking we must visit annually now!

Elk Cove Inn is a real gem, especially if you have dogs and want to enjoy your vacation with them. We had two (a French bulldog and a Golden Retriever), and they were very happy that the trail down to the beach took only a few minutes. The proximity to the beach and the excellent gazebo and dinner seating area are the highlights. The Cliffside Covey was a little small space-wise but you don't spend too much time inside unless the weather is cold. Breakfast while oceanside is worth the extra premium you're paying in dollars and driving time to get there. Thanks to the staff for their friendly dogs and pleasant service!

Wonderful experience
A lot of places are advertised as dog friendly, but the Elk Spa really means it. The staff is truly welcoming of canines, even larger breeds. The property has a direct path to beautiful and dog friendly Greenwood beach, only a few minute walk. The staff is friendly and helpful, and we felt very welcome. I highly recommend it. Due to covid, meals were delivered directly to our door, which allowed for safe and delicious dining. The food is amazing! Also, the staff and guests all followed proper covid protocol, masking even outdoors in the common areas. I recommend it highly

Perfect relaxing overnighter
The host showed us around, answered our questions and even served us a glass of wine on our arrival. Our cottage was clean and well appointed and the window seat framed a beautiful ocean view. Breakfast was delicious and had a lovely presentation with fresh flowers adorning the eggs. We hope to return when we can stay longer. Very charming place with perfect hosts.
