Greenwood Beach Cottage

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

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.

Amazing location!
Elk is a great little town with several food options, and we especially loved the Greenwood and the Elk. Trail access to the beach is up the road at the park. Comfy beds and great fireplace. Would definitely recommend and hope to return!

The view is amazing!! The area is beautiful and just off the beaten path enough to truly unwind. The Elk store across the way was convenient and Mendocino/Fort Bragg not too far away. Overall a really great vacation getaway!

Gorgeous place
The location and view were outstanding! If you want a quiet, relaxing, simple place where you can sit in bed and stare at a gorgeous view all day long, and walk to a lovely beach daily, this is the perfect spot for you! It was a bit of a drive to Mendo, hiking, etc., but we didn't mind. Do be aware that the place is not especially private from your cohabitors. The one bathroom is accessible through the back bedroom, and the front bedroom (with the view) has a curtain rather than a door.

Funky but charming, and what a VIEW!
This cottage has a somewhat odd layout, with the sole bathroom accessible only through one of the bedrooms, and the other bedroom separated from the kitchen only by a curtain. But it is perfect for a couple, or two close friends, or a couple with one or two tweens who can share a bed. It’s cozy, comfy, and reasonably well equipped, and the view is amazing. Easy walk to Greenwood Beach and “downtown” Elk. The steep, bumpy driveway is the only serious drawback.

Beautiful View & Location, needs improvements
The location, beach access and view from home was amazing! The home was decently stocked, but some needs some small improvements. The faucet in the shower needs replaced & the sink is rickety in the bathroom. There were ant bait traps all over the home, and we saw a few ants. The main concern is the entrance to the home. It’s not really the grade of the driveway, but the blind entrance onto HWY 1. The shrubs should be removed and a mirror added for better vision. We had to use my 16 year old son as a look out to pull out of the driveway. Love the view and location, a few things could dramatically improve the impression of this home.

Great View but…
The view and location are great but there is not a comfortable chair in the house. Threadbare carpet and you are asked to remove your shoes, furniture at best from second hand stores and lumpy mattresses. No beach towels as promised and one dish towel this place could be incredibly cute and comfy with minimal effort. We will look elsewhere for our next stay.

The views are spectacular
The views at this rental are spectacular. The house is clean and comfortable. The deck in the back for enjoy the view was so great we sat out to watch sunset even though it was raining. There are many hummingbirds that fly around all over the garden and are also fun to watch. We had an unfortunate safety issue. We travel with a small travel trailer 6x10 feet and asked if the property was suitable for us to park it. We were told it was suitable . It was not due to the steep driveway that is on a cliff and the size of the parking area. We spent a great deal of time with many texts and calls arranging with Vacasa to have assistance leaving the property safely with our trailer.

Poor
We loved the home. It has a great view of the ocean, and the inside was clean. The outside could you some yard maintenance. It would make its appearance much better. The issue that we had was there wasn't any hot water. There weren't any instructions on how to turn it on. The circuit breaker was on, but there wasn't even any warm water. This made it very unpleasant!

Fantastic view but terrible beds. Overpriced given the condition of the house.
The view is INCREDIBLE and can be enjoyed sitting up in the double bed or from chairs outside. BUT the beds were so soft that we both slept very badly and woke up with sore necks and backs. They were so uncomfortable that we chose to drive home late in the day rather than stay for our second night. The house was clean but needs maintenance - one screen in the sunroom/bedroom is completely torn at the bottom, many windows have failed and are cloudy, the stairs down to the deck are uneven and sloping etc. A pest control person showed up and spray liquid and spread pellets or something around the house. Fortunately, we asked him if it was safe for our dog and he advised us to keep the dog in for the next half hour. If we had returned to the house ten minutes later, we would have been unaware of the newly applied poison. Instructions for how to get down to the beach below would have been nice. It is easy to walk to but not immediately obvious.

Oceanview Property
Pros: The view on our way to the property is breathtaking. House is clean, and the view is fantastic. Very quaint neighborhood and quiet surrounding. We left the bedroom and bathroom windows open at night, and the sound of the waves was relaxing. I just wish that there was a direct access from the house to the deck area. But once you get to the deck area, the view was beautiful. The beach also is a walking distance from the house. Cons: Carpet is old and torn and could use some updating. The windows can be a little bit cleaner so we can have a clearer view of the outside. We found some ants in the kitchen and bathroom area. Cell service is very spotty. But once you're inside the house, you'll be able to access the WIFI service.

Not as it was
This was our second time here, having come for my husband’s birthday about 12 years ago. We still adored the views and the access to Elk and the beach. House was not as clean as we would have liked, and we have separately communicated with VRBO about that. Keyless entry wouldn’t work, which was particularly difficult when arriving during a major storm; nor could we access the lock box because we had not been given the code. Luckily, 5G works here, so we were able to quickly access support and get inside. Keyless entry still doesn’t work, and the key is very difficult to get out once the door has been locked. Certain expected items in the most basic kitchen not here: e.g,, measuring spoons, vegetable peeler. Overall, “Okay,” not great. After our last experience , though, we expected great.

Nice vista, shabby house!
The view was lovely and house is clean. But the house is shabby and is suitable for a single or couple only. The second bedroom has no door and has an opening in the wall. The bathroom is accessible only by going through the first bedroom. The carpet is ratty and everything needs an update. Driveway is very steep. We pulled in across the street and then headed in. Very hard coming from the north and it’s not marked. Queenies is not open. The market is open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday only. You need to go to Mendocino for supplies or bring your own. Management was responsive but the pictures do not reveal the obvious lack of a door and open wall. Oh, and despite other online complaints, the shower head is still a trickle on hot. And shame on management. That’s an easy fix. We enjoyed the deck and vista, are out in Mendocino and did our best with the lack of privacy, ie no bedroom door and an open wall, plus entering another bedroom to use bathroom.
