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.

Heaven by the beach

We have stayed here several time with our dog. We got engaged on the beach below so it holds a special place in our heart! The views are breathtaking and the sound of the waves relaxing throughout our stay! Can not wait to come back!

Lovely time

This house feels bigger in person than in the listing. We saw the other reviews about the steep driveway but it didn't worry us much but we had a jeep. Kitchen well appointed. Views outstanding. Clean for a remote area like that. I expected to see a bug at any moment but never did. A family of deer was out roaming right next to the house one evening. You can walk to the market and vendors in the tiny town and to the park to take the trail to the beach. We'd absolutely stay again.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
