A fabulous place

Kim and John offer the most outstanding vacation rental we have experienced in five years. The garden is magnificent as is the nearby beach. Kim stocks it with everything you could want and in excellent quality. They are in a little house in the back and readily available. It was our good fortune to book the weekend of Great Elk Day. Not to be missed. 😍

Absolutely gorgeous

The house and amenities were top-notch. The quiet community was a perfect backdrop for the views of the beautiful gardens, the ocean, and access to a beach off the beaten path. Kim was helpful and considerate and made an already enjoyable experience all the more so. 10/10, will definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises!

Beautiful ocean and garden views

Our stay, 4 women total, was amazing. The views from the second story (kitchen, dining, living room, and patio) of the ocean and the owner, Kim's, garden were gorgeous. The high ceilings upstairs opened the space even more. We had a great time playing pool and darts downstairs and wish we stayed longer to keep playing. We packed a small ice chest and were able to walk across the street to the walk down to the beach. Highly recommend to stay here!

Family get away

We absolutely loved the property and the beach view. Access to the beach was easy and a fun walk. Love the Deli store nearby. Most of all we loved the botanical gardens that Kim does herself..so beautiful and the house was well equipped. The boys never got board with all the games. Actually we all enjoyed them. Thank you Kim and John.

Perfect Holiday

Kim is a wonderful host which added to the perfect holiday experience in her beautiful house with stunning coastal views, a family sized terrace, large living room with extra high ceiling and a great games room. All of us including the 7 year old and the teenage kids had a brilliant time. I can only highly recommend this exceptional holiday home away from home. Thank you again!

Relaxing retreat with ocean views

We came to Elk for a wedding and had a fantastic weekend. This home is well maintained, immaculately clean, well stocked, and in a quiet and comfortable location. The owner’s pride of ownership is evident throughout the home and garden.

Best house ever!

This was a beautiful house. Felt like home. So clean, all the amenities you could think of, all supplies needed and then some like fresh half and half for your coffee, butter, etc. Even fresh flowers from the garden. Best host ever! Hope to be able to return someday.

Ocean Refreshment

Beautiful home and gardens. Kitchen was exceptionally stocked with everything you could need. Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Upstairs balcony is so relaxing and what a view! Highway 1 is at the property's edge but the Pacific Ocean commands your view and, somehow, your hearing, you only hear the waves, it is wonderful. We all had an extremely relaxing stay, enjoyed the pool table, and would have enjoyed all the other game options but we were happy to just watch one of the many movie options that are offered after a day on the beach and BBQ at the house. Thank you so much - a wonderful time had by all!

Peaceful weekend

We stayed for a long weekend and it was the first time in a very long time that I feel like I completely relaxed. I spent hours in the garden listening to the birds and watching butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. Kim was a very attentive host. As a former florist, I was thrilled to find vases of cut flowers around the house. What a treat! We all voted to return in the near future.

Lovely stay with great hosts

I booked Kim's VRBO for some wedding guests in town for our wedding and it was a great experience! Kim was super communicative and helpful throughout, and her place was spacious, clean and well-appointed with a magical garden. Also very convenient and central location in Elk. Our guests enjoyed staying there!

We spent three days here and would have been happy to stay a week or more. The property was fabulous; clean, up to date, well stocked and very comfortable! The property’s gardens surrounding the house were magnificent! Location was directly across from an accessible beach and small store and market was three doors down. Thank you to Kim and John!!!

A Little Slice of Heaven With An Ocean View

Great place with an ocean view right in the little town of Elk on the Mendocino coast, just a short walk to the beach. Kim and John were fantastic hosts , meeting us at the house, answering our questions, and helping with logistics. The house had everything we needed. The gardens were beautiful and well tended. We will definitely rent this place again.

Perfect Fit!

What a wonderful vacation house! The description and photos don’t do it justice. It really was breathtaking to experience. The house was spotless. Generously appointed at every turn. The kitchen had everything we needed, just like being at home. Kim and John were wonderful hosts. Great communication, as well as attention to our needs at check in. And outside is the wonderful English garden which was a joy to explore and view. Speaking of view, the patio gave us views of the ocean, the mountains, all which were like living in a postcard! The neighborhood was very peaceful, with a store in walking distance. And the trail down to the beach… a good work out! Plus plenty of restaurants and shops to explore within a short driving distance. This was perfect for a quiet getaway weekend! Just what we needed! Thank you Kim and John.

Perfect place for a family!

This house is amazing and is the perfect place to stop for a few nights while driving up the coast from San Francisco. Probably the best "rental" house we've ever used. Very clean, had everything you need, comfortable beds, nice towels, smart TV and of course the pinball machine downstairs. The VIEW of Kim's amazing garden (hummingbirds galore!) And ocean is to die for. Enjoy some coffee in the morning and some local wine in the evening looking over it all. We didn't want to leave!
