Just 16 miles south of Mendocino and perched right on the ocean bluff, this majestic five-bedroom Elk vacation rental offers luxurious surroundings, all with a stunning ocean view. In addition, there's a private hot tub, wood-burning fireplace, and a kids' room—complete with six twin beds and a TV. All of this and a half-acre yard—it's heaven!

Inside this 4,000 square foot, oceanfront vacation home, you'll enjoy nights relaxing in the spacious living room with TV, cable, and DVD player. Or, you can retire to the fireplace room—start a fire and settle back on one of the sofas or the window seat and take in the amazing ocean view. Take advantage of the complimentary WiFi, and search for local attractions to plan your itinerary. No matter where you decide to relax, you'll be surrounded by comfort and classic design touches.

The full kitchen includes a refrigerator, Wolf Commercial-grade stovetop/oven, and a dishwasher. Unleash your gourmet skills in this gorgeous, functional space. From the dining area, you can have your dinner with stunning water views for an unforgettable vacation meal. You'll want to stay at the table talking, and finishing the last of the wine.

Five bedrooms (two downstairs and three upstairs including the 'dorm') have three queen beds, a full bed, and there are six twin beds in the upstairs, kid-friendly game room space. This game room also has a TV, comfortable furniture, and lots of room for playing, reading, or socializing. Three of the bedrooms have ocean views, including the downstairs master suite. There are also three and a half baths, a laundry room with washer and dryer, board games, and a stereo. Everything you'll need!

No matter how nice the interior of this Elk vacation home is, you will definitely be spending a lot of time outside. Lounge on the large deck, enjoying the views of the rocky California coast, or soak in the hot tub after a long day of exploring. The edge of the property extends all the way to the bluff, allowing for spectacular views of the ocean. Bring a cup of coffee out in the morning for some quiet contemplation as you listen to the ocean's waves.

The Bella Mare vacation home in Elk is right along the main street, with plenty of options if you don't feel like making a meal at home. The perfect fuel before a day of hiking or a game of golf at the Little River Golf Course, just 13 miles north. If you do want to explore the beach, there's a trail head that heads right to the shore.

Other area attractions include the charming community of Mendocino, just a 30 minute drive away for a day of gallery browsing and hiking. But really, with its amazing view, you may just be content to leave your car in the driveway and spend your time walking around the charming village of Elk and enjoying the good life at your Mendocino-area vacation rental.

This Northern California Coast vacation rental is an oasis of stunning ocean views, deluxe amenities, and classic style. Visit this small, laid-back ocean bluff community of Elk for a relaxing vacation in the beautiful Northern California sunshine.

Family Reunion
This was the perfect place for a small reunion of cousins. Stunning views, lots of space to spread out, great kitchen to prepare meals, lots of seating options to dine inside and outside on the deck. We spend many hours in the morning and evening just enjoying the view out by the bench area. Our view included amazing view of the rock formations, as well as whales, dolphins, and also hearing the seals every evening. We loved the architecture of the home and its connection to the history of the community of Elk.

Wedding weekend in Elk
My family was in Elk for our son’s wedding @ Cuffy’s Cove , BellaMare was the perfect location . Easy to get back and forth to the venue and convenient for other guests and family members to stop in. The house is spacious, well layer out for us, we had 6 adults and 2 children and had more than enough space. The views and hot tub are spectacular! Highly recommend

Ocean Views for Ever?
This is our second time staying at this property, simply because of the view. The water is so blue it looks like you are in the Caribbean. The beach down the road is secluded and beautiful with sea glass, starfish and more. It's just too bad that the house has so much potential, but is not kept up to current standards. There is a HUGE stove/oven, but renters are not allowed to use the flat grill. The furnishings and fixtures are extremely old. There were mouse droppings inside the drawers! AND, we actually saw one in the middle of the night get into things on the dresser in a downstairs bedroom! The "new" deck is amazing quality, but is not complete and has plastic netting up where it is open to fall through. A deck under construction in a house that is basically rented for the outdoor space and views?????? Based on our last stay, we will not be renting this property again. But let us know if it ever goes on the market. Our group would love to purchase it and restore it to the amazing potential it has.

Met the expectations and then some
Overall, great property and beautiful home. Incredible views of the ocean, keep your small children away from the cliffs. The kitchen was fully stocked with equipment and fulfilled our needs. Needed to make a short 25 min trip north to Mendocino for groceries. Not surprising for a New Years trip, most everything in Elk was closed. The hot tub was great, as was the fireplace. Bring your own lighter to light the range if you would like to cook. Extremely spacious home with decorating from many years ago. Would definitely book this home again.

Great house for a big family getaway
We had a group of 7 adults and 4 children (ages 10 to 4) at the house for a week. We had a great time and the house was a perfect size. There was plenty of play space, a big kitchen and dining area, and room for adults to spread out. We made good use of the hot tub and patio area as well. The cooks in the family loved the big stove and oven available and the hikers and sightseers loved the immediate access to Highway 1 and the local beach down the road. The town of Elk is sleepy during the winter but the general store was open and had the essentials we needed. I would recommend this house for anyone looking for a quiet coastal getaway with a large group.

Large quirky home for a family gathering
Beautiful property, fabulous ocean views, older but charming home with lots of room for our family. We could have used a larger frying pan and more glasses and silverware. That's the only reason I took off one star. We had a lovely weekend for our sons wedding up the road.

good and bad
Nice house, nice location. met vacasa local manager who said they would send somebody over to bury the dead deer. He ended up just throwing it over the cliff. Nice "dead smell" as you looked at the ocean. Half the bathroom doors don't have locks. One bedroom has no closets(except for owner's), outside deck is been rotten for years. Hot tub cover is so old the underneath ribbons are falling in the hot tub. No furnance for a day and half...no response from local vacasa manager. Pool table has a foot long gash that's been there for years. Kitchen is great. 3 large rooms downstairs is great. Upstairs is a fun place to be for kids. All seven us did enjoy the home. With some maintenance management this place would be great.

Great property!
We had the best time staying at this place! First, the views were incredible and we loved relaxing in the hot-tub while watching the water. Second, the home itself was perfect for our group. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out, an amazing kitchen where we gathered for meals cooked on the AMAZING stovetop, and comfy bedrooms. The upstairs "game room" was also a great place to hang out and relax. Highly recommend the space and the town of Elk!

Nice large older house, wonderful views
We recently went on a weekend getaway with friends, all 12 slept comfortably. The property is older but overall in satisfactory condition. The views from the deck and house are incredible. 3 of the 5 bedrooms share these views. Reservations and house information was readily available. All appliances and the hot tub worked great! Overall a great long weekend!

Everyone had fun
We loved the room & the great views. Having one key was crazy, with all the different families, but we used the lock box. A keypad would have been nice. The hot tub was great also, but didn't work the last day:( Pool table was fun & the kitchen was great. Thanks for the towels for the hot tub, that was also a nice touch.
