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.

Excellent(44 Reviews)4.1
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.

The views from the backyard were stunning. The house was very spacious and comfortable. Access to the beach was a little bit more difficult than described. We would definitely stay at this house agian.

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

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.

The floor plan of the house worked out so well for us! We were a total of 8, and the house still felt big. The large stove/oven was great for cooking meals. The hot tub and pool table really added fun things to do together. The view was amazing and location was very convenient to go to Mendocino or Fort Brag! Thank you.

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.

Needs a deep clean
The place is beautiful and spacious but needs a deep clean. We found dog hair all over the dining table and floor and pieces of glass in the corner of the living room. We ended up vacuuming and cleaning on arrival. There were also a few other issues like the fridge not functioning properly and deck broken in places but hopefully the property managers will address them.

I would have given this place 5 stars, but two folks from our group contracted hot tub folliculitis after staying here. If you're considering this place, make sure the hot tub has been cleaned and serviced before booking.

The location was amazing! Views hottub s'mores! Kids loved it! The wife and I loved!
The cliff was very dangerous! But it was far from the house! The town of Elk is so cute and very old-school Mendo!
We loved it! It could use a king size bed!!

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.
4.1
good and bad
Home had lots of space. Nice to have three large rooms. Kitchen was great. Outside deck is so rotten it's actually a safety hazard. For a large house think you need a good size barbeque. The one here is the smallest I've ever seen. Need locks for all the bathroom doors for privacy. Local manager said they would send out someone to bury a dead deer. Guy came and threw the carcass over the cliff. When you go over to the cliffs to view the ocean and rocks you get a nice "dead smell". On the upside got a nice showing of turkey vultures from the hot tub. Speaking of hot tub, it need a new cover. It so rotten the material is falling in the hot tub. All seven of us had a good time. Enjoyed the home.

Bella Mare - must bring
Bring a lighter as we could not find one for the stove, minor detail but important for successful cooking! Also make sure to wear sandals or shoes out to the cliffs as there is a lot of broken glass in the lawn. Other than that AMAZING property, this place is truly a gem. The Elk store is only open until 6pm so make sure you get supplies before they close, or drive to Mendocino as there is a grocery store there too. Hot tub is clean and very enjoyable and the shower upstairs overlooks the ocean as you clean the sand off your body. This was a memory never to forget. !!

Amazing house and view
Excellent spot - make sure to budget some time to just hang in the backyard, as the view there is one of the most stunning in the area. Wonderful house as well! Lots more room that the pictures make it seem like even.

Amazing
We loved this house and the view so much, even before we left, we were trying to plan our next trip. The house has so much character and charm.... especially the kitchen. We cooked most of our meals there. We visited Point Arena lighthouse, and Mendocino several times. One of the best vacations we've ever taken

Lovely place to stay.
The home was lovely with great views through huge windows and plenty of living space. Lots of winding roads to get there, but it was totally worth the drive through forests. We also loved the how the landscaping encouraged plenty of birds (hawks, Anna's hummingbirds, quail, etc.). Nice to have decent internet bandwidth to upload my pictures. An overall excellent place for a family to stay.

Had a great retreat with great friends. Lots of room to spread out and plenty of furniture to be together in one room. Love the history of the house, It was previously owned by the Cooney family, a relative of the Donahue family who ran the mill.
