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!

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.

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.

Funky but charming, and what a VIEW!
This cottage has a somewhat odd layout, with the sole bathroom accessible only through one of the bedrooms, and the other bedroom separated from the kitchen only by a curtain. But it is perfect for a couple, or two close friends, or a couple with one or two tweens who can share a bed. It’s cozy, comfy, and reasonably well equipped, and the view is amazing. Easy walk to Greenwood Beach and “downtown” Elk. The steep, bumpy driveway is the only serious drawback.

Not as it was
This was our second time here, having come for my husband’s birthday about 12 years ago. We still adored the views and the access to Elk and the beach. House was not as clean as we would have liked, and we have separately communicated with VRBO about that. Keyless entry wouldn’t work, which was particularly difficult when arriving during a major storm; nor could we access the lock box because we had not been given the code. Luckily, 5G works here, so we were able to quickly access support and get inside. Keyless entry still doesn’t work, and the key is very difficult to get out once the door has been locked. Certain expected items in the most basic kitchen not here: e.g,, measuring spoons, vegetable peeler. Overall, “Okay,” not great. After our last experience , though, we expected great.

Gorgeous place
The location and view were outstanding! If you want a quiet, relaxing, simple place where you can sit in bed and stare at a gorgeous view all day long, and walk to a lovely beach daily, this is the perfect spot for you! It was a bit of a drive to Mendo, hiking, etc., but we didn't mind. Do be aware that the place is not especially private from your cohabitors. The one bathroom is accessible through the back bedroom, and the front bedroom (with the view) has a curtain rather than a door.

“WHAT A VIEW” no matter what the weather. The house is very quaint and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and has a gas range for cooking. I would suggest that you stop at a grocery store on the way to Elk if you are going to cook meals. There is a small Store/Deli but slim pickings. There are two Restaurants one upper scale and one a diner. The bbq is clean and is great to grill on. The bedroom with the view is so wonderful. The feather bed makes you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud…I slept so good! The house is very warm with the gas Fire View and gas furnace they have for heating. It’s very simple to get to the beach below the house. There is a trail across from the Elk Store with plenty of parking. I had a couple of questions about the house and Kat responded right away with answers to help. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who would like to have a quiet get away and I would come back again and stay.

Nice Little Getaway
The cottage is definitely tucked away but the view is great. I was glad that I read about the driveway and viewed the street online first. The cottage was simple and had some worn spots on the carpet but it didn't bother us. The size was just right for our family of 4 and pet on a quick road trip. The bed in the room with the view is softer than I prefer it but we we didn't stay long enough for this to be a major complaint for us. The stairs leading to the deck overlooking the beach had a lot of overgrown plants in the pathway but we didn't hang out there enough for it to inconvenience us too much or take away from the view. The stores nearby close early and aren't open on Tuesdays but we planned ahead for dinners and snacks when we explored other nearby towns. The drive to other areas of interest weren't bad at all and it's a quick walk to the state beach. It was an overall nice little getaway for the family and I could see us returning.

We live this place. We are making it a yearly tradition to come and stay for my fiancées birthday. It is perfect for the two of us. The o my issue we had was that we found beer cans under the bed and the windows could have been a bit cleaner on the outside for a more clear view. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time enjoying the ocean views.

AWESOME LOCATION!
Knowing that we were renting a pet friendly house I was not expecting carpet that was visibly worn and had been torn by previous pets. The house was very well stocked and clean. The multi layer deck/yard was beautiful and the views were phenomenal. I just felt it was a little over priced based on the condition of the carpet and the shower door needing an upgrade for safety sake.
