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.

The location, overlooking the ocean, and a short walk to a beach is superb. The house is spacious and well appointed. It was perfect for us, our children, and our grandchildren

Charming house with breathtaking backyard views. Love the home. The area is absolutely perfect for a getaway!

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.
