You'll find this home perched atop the bluffs in Elk, a small, oceanfront community on a gorgeous stretch of California Highway 1. Sit down for breakfast at the iconic Queenie's Roadhouse Cafe, take morning walks in the sand on Greenwood State Beach, and sip cocktails at sunset on your multi-level deck.

Wonderful stay in Elk

My wife and I spent 4 nights, and although the weather was not too cooperative, we enjoyed the awesome view and the mid-century vibe of the house. Definitely recommended, very clean, roomy. Just be sure to open the patio door if you're cooking to avoid setting off the smoke detector!

Perfect stay!

We had a wonderful time in this architectural mid century jewel furnished and decorated with great taste. The deck is especially enjoyable looking over the cove and well shielded from the wind. The kitchen has everything someone who likes cooking can need. Excellent sound and video system. Splendid area. Lots of hikes and nature marvels to discover all around.

Wonderful stay

My only complaints are that I booked the property because I saw there was a grill in the photographs but It turns out it was not available for use. And that the lockbox key code did not work. Otherwise the view was incredible, the house was wonderful clean and very stylish. I would absolutely stay again.

Coastal Beauty

This is a spacious, comfortable home on a lovely stretch of Mendocino coast. The large deck is comfortably furnished for hours of lounging under an umbrella enjoying the view and the sounds and smell of the sea. The kitchen is very well stocked, the living room has a great sound system and entertainment center, and the king bed upstairs is heavenly. We were happy to return at the end of a day of hiking in the woods, to bbq outdoors and to watch a movie on the huge projection screen.

Great location and unique home rental

We had two couples and enjoyed this home very much. The house is well equipped with supplies. The view is terrific. The location was perfect for our daily outings. We watched movies each night on the projection screen using our Amazon Prime App.. The waves crashing all day and night gave us soothing sounds to enjoy. The separation of the bedrooms and the comfort of the beds made our stay enjoyable for both couples. Some of the home's lighting is a little dim and quirky, but other than that, it was a most enjoyable stay.

Incredible views

The house is called “Mid-Century” for a reason. It definitely takes you back to an earlier time. Some modern upgrades would be appreciated. The house is beautifully designed with glassed views in every direction. Those glass windows could use a good cleaning. The views absolutely save the day and make you forget about anything else. Incredible.

Gorgeous views

We had a great girls getaway and enjoyed the beautiful views and spacious deck. The bedding was nice quality and comfy. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need to prepare meals. The lighting system is tricky but we got it figured out by day 2. There is not a television or DVD player so couldn’t watch the chick flicks we brought. We did figure out the Amazon stick with Andrea’s help and there is a movie projector and big screen which was fun.

What a perfect house for our Mendocino Coast vacation!

Perched on the bluff with a gorgeous deck, listening to the ocean waves, doesn’t get much better than this! The outdoor furniture was great, the kitchen was fun to cook in and look out the wall of glass to the water, the living room comfy and spacious. And the sound system was to die for! We must look into Sonos! So many light switches!! The only bummer about staying here was that we didn’t want to leave to explore the Mendocino Coast or go home! Next time we’ll be sure to book extra nights so we can have a few days to just relax here and enjoy all this beautiful home has to offer~thank you for sharing it with us!

Very nice! Great weekend getaway!

Wonderful decks and ocean view. Well stocked kitchen. Nice fireplace and fun big screen for Netflix. Rather difficult to find in the dark. More lighting and less confusing light switches would be nice but understandable given age of home. Easy walk to Elk. Not good for young children or people with mobility issues. Would be nice to have kitchen towels. Outdoor deck seating was lovely. Heat lamp appears to be out of propane. Couldn’t figure out the elaborate sound system. Very quiet and relaxing!!

A Mid Century Modern Taj Mahal

You need to know what this home is and why you're going there. If you want new, updated, refurbished -- go somewhere else. If you want a magnificent piece of architectural history, a mind-blowing view (yes, the photos don't do it justice) and to stay in a space that is built by a genius...every space cozy, inspiring, and amazing -- and you understand that here and there, it's a teeny bit rough around the edges...but like, the Taj Mahal is probably rough around the edges. So that's what staying here is like. It's a Mid Century Modern Taj Mahal. Stay there if that means something to you. I was there for 48 hours and never left the house once and I already miss it.

Enchanting cliff side ocean views

Talk about wow! This gem in Elk, California is a whimsical wonderland that will transport you to a dreamy world of ocean views and mid-century charm. From the moment you step foot in this cozy abode, you'll feel like you're in a fairy tale. As you gaze out over the cliffs and watch the clouds roll by, you may even catch a glimpse of a family of deer frolicking in the backyard. It's like something straight out of a storybook! The mid-century style of the house is simply enchanting, with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light and showcase the stunning cliff side ocean views. And if you're feeling inspired, whip up a magical feast in the kitchen or fire up the smoker and cook dinner outside on the deck. We will definitely be coming back to this hidden gem!

Needs to address safety issues.

Although this house is nicely appointed people with mobility issues will have difficulty here. In order to get to either bedroom stairs need to be negoiciated. The stairs are dark and handrails are not installed. In order to get into the shower tub combo of you need to step up and over then steeply down. There are no saftybars in the shower area.

With qualifications....

Enjoyed our stay with qualifications. This is a home to relax, savor the view, talk, read and perhaps listen to music, watch a movie or play games. Unfortunately the high end sound and theater systems were non-functional. There are no reading lights other than 2 desk lamps, one of which did not have a bulb. For 2 couples, the bathroom arrangement is not ideal- one bathroom is on a different floor than the bedroom- bring your bathrobe! The downstairs windows looking out to the ocean view were salt encrusted. There is a cleaning fee of $120 yet the check-out instructions request the renters start a load of laundry. On the plus side, the kitchen had an extensive selection of seasonings and some other basics. The architecture is a wonder, even by today's standards. There was a nice selection of games, puzzles and some books. There is a great deli and Queenies Cafe within walking distance. And did we mention the view??...

An architectural masterpiece

This was our second stay at this property and won’t be our last. The views are stunning and the design of the home itself is truly something to behold. We love all the original details including the built-ins throughout the house. The kitchen is stocked full love everything you could need to whip up everything from a simple meal to a gourmet four course dinner. We did have a problem getting the chrome cast and sonos to work on our first night but after a little troubleshooting we figured it out. We also had some difficulty with the fireplace and the flue not opening. I contacted the Vacasa the night we checked in after we realized the problem and they said they had put in a call to get a tech out. After not hearing anything back from them the next day I contacted them again and spoke to someone different who said that there was no call in for a tech which was frustrating to say the least. Call was then put into the local maintenance person but no updates were given at any point in time. Eventually after several attempts to open the flue and close it we did get it to work. Just wish there would’ve been more communication from the Vacasa. Still we loved our time at the house and will be booking again soon

Astounding

This place is an architectural wonderland in a stunning location. Pantry was fully stocked so cooking was easy. We enjoyed the Sonos sound system but whisked there were speakers in the kitchen/dining room area so we could enjoy while cooking/eating. Was great while relaxing in the living room though. Loved the fireplace but had to buy wood for it despite the listing saying firewood provided. There was enough for 2 fires though so it’s not like there wasn’t anything. The projector was great and easy to use. Lights were fun to get to figure out and by the end of our stay we had them all down. The beds were so comfortable we looked up the manufacturer so we could see about buying one for home! Everything was super clean and check in was a breeze. The only thing we wish had a little more attention paid to it was the screens in the windows upstairs. It seems like they haven’t been opened in years and there was a thick thick coating of dust on them making it almost impossible for air to move through. A simple replacement of them would fix the problem. Note that the downstairs fireplace in the bedroom is not functional as that was a bit of a surprise to us (you can find it in fine print in the listing of the amenities of the property). Also, the downstairs bathroom shower smelled very strongly of urine or something but only if you were in it. So using the toilet and sink was fine. We just never used the shower because of the odor. Overall the property is amazing and we have already booked our next trip back.

View spectacular, House a true disappointment!

House is horrific, Need complete renovation, and updating! Carved up spaces, bathrooms inadequate. Downstairs bedroom has no bathroom, showers are a safety hazards! Scared the hell out of me! Try stepping into a tub 4 feet away to access shower tub! No hand rails even. The view from the main room is obstructed by architecture. I believe the design was to mimic a Frank Lloyd Wright home. Poor replica. Lighting is a mystery. If we could locate specific lighting, it would take us a 1/2 hour to disengage before going to bed! So frustrating and unnecessary! Kitchen lighting in stairway. Outside lighting all over, etc, etc. No assistance from a welcome information packet, or visitor notes! The only note was ironically "remove your shoes on entry". The floors were wood, very distressed, and not by design, and carpet is cheap tiles! insulting! Kitchen is a disaster. millions of closets and drawers, without useful design. Alarms launch from simple refrigerator openings, and a fire sprinkler rang out from its perch 7 feet up a wall.......Really? Please explain the pull down screen, and complicated apps to view anything! Couldn't they just installed a T.V.? I took my mother on a "girls" trip and I was embarrassed at the condition, and unfriendly accommodations. Take caution if you intend to overlook all the deficiencies, to enjoy the spectacular view, only seen from standing at rail, on the deck!
