Third Trip!!!!

This was our third trip to WWC and it feels like home (we wish)! Mike and Kim feel like part of our family. They are the most wonderful owners ever. The house lends itself to hours of quiet contemplation. The fireplace and the hot tub....well, 'nuff said. We are headed back for 2012 and CAN'T WAIT!!!!! BTW, we finally saw a whale. Katie Curtis is one of the best parts of the place and we have ya'll to thank for that. There is no place that we'd rather be....ever. Thanks again and AGAIN!!! See you in August!

WONDERFUL ANNIVERSARY ESCAPE
Guest: Gerry D.
Date of Stay: 11/19/11
Review Submitted: 11/24/11
Getting away up the California coast for a weekend anniversary celebration. I have high standards when it comes to finding homes that match our living style. First, the home must be clean and fresh. A hot tub and a fireplace is a must. A comfortable living space is a necessity. We hit a home run with Whitewater Cove... A beautiful, private, secluded escape where we got to spend time together and recharge our batteries. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, dishes and condiments. It has bedrooms on both floors of the house, with bathrooms for each. The living room has a beautiful ocean view to enjoy, and comfortable couches to hang out in. Outside there is a wrap-around deck that is very private with only the squawk of the gulls and the sounds of the waves hitting the cliff below. A hot tub shares the deck space and is great for soaking and forgetting what you were worrying about before you got here..... We dealt with Ann (the home owner) and the process was seamless. Great communications, quick responses to our e-mails and a nice friendly attitude. If you are looking for some or all of the requirements that we enjoyed YOU cannot go wrong with WHITEWATER COVE.

Whitewater Cove was the perfect vacation getaway. We had amazing weather all weekend which I'm sure helped but the location, the house, the hot tub were all perfect. We saw whales from the hot tub! I think it might be the best vacation rental we've ever stayed at. Highly, highly recommended.

My wife and I had read the website and all of the reviews so our expectations were very high for our stay at this wonderful house on the coast. Much to our surprise, they were exceeded. The description and pictures of this cottage do not do it justice - probably because it is impossible to capture the scope and beauty of the views from the house and deck. Everything was spotless and well maintained and the owners were helpful with suggestions for restaurants, groceries and activities. There was complete privacy for us at the house and everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Of course it is impossible to control the fog along the coast and we had a mixture of fog and sunshine. But even the fog can be beautiful and interesting and, on the clear nights we saw stars unlike anything we had seen since our childhood (many years ago). We have stayed at several VRBO locations but this was clearly the best.

Incredible location, if your looking for a wonderful, peaceful, restful vacation home, you have found it! Excellent home, well laied out, we had everything we needed and more! Nothing was overlooked. We have rented through vrbo for years, and this home is definately on the top of my lists. Many hikes closeby, waterfalls, redwoods, and winerys! We saw whales every evening! Many thanks to Kim for suggesting a week instead of 3 nights, I would not have wanted to leave so soon. We will be back.

If you are looking for a beautiful relaxing vacation home; this is the place. Undescribable views and easy travel to good restaurants and wineries. The owner was very helpful with any questions we had and gave good suggestions for things to do. We have rented homes for 20 years and this goes to the top of the list. The Herrings - Germantown, TN

If you are looking for the best, take time to read all of the reviews of this property as every word of praise remains as true today as it was when written. The home is spotless with charming decor and endless touches and attention to detail to make your stay welcoming and enjoyable. The views are awe inspiring, not only from the decks and patio but from inside as well. Sleeping in the upstairs bedroom is like sleeping in the tree tops because of the view from the huge windows next to the bed. It is wonderful to wake to a view of the ocean. My husband and I were married on May 10th overlooking the ocean from the beautiful decks of this home, and we could not have made a better choice for our wedding location. We had delicious meals over the next several days at various restaurants (the Albion River Inn, the Little River inn, and the Ledford House, for examples) within a half hours drive but plan to take better advantage of this homes well-equipped kitchen the next time we stay (we found a store in Mendocino with an interesting variety of meats, cheeses, and other grocery items plus there's a Safeway in Fort Bragg). The weather was interesting, changing from calm to windy and from comfortable to chilly, but it was all great because of the huge fireplace and the soft throws the owners have provided for sitting on the deck. A great place! We hope to return for our anniversary next May.

This is a rather late comment but I feel that feedback is only right on such a wonderful property. The positioning on the clifftop is breathtaking, we stayed in September & had pretty good weather with sun & occasional fog. That did however give us a great opportunity to light up a big log fire in the evenings. Such a lot of thought has been invested in this home, I can't think of anything that was missing to make the stay perfect, the house is also beautifully kept. The owners were very helpful throughout but were also unobtrusive, the perfect balance. I use VRBO very regularly worldwide & this property ranks as my joint #1 with a house in Provence. To anyone considering booking this property I can't begin to describe waking in the morning to the view from your bed over the ocean, a perfect way to start another lazy day.

Wonderful week in Elk

Date of Stay: 08/14/10
Review Submitted: 01/20/11
We stayed in the property for a week in August 2010, and it was perfect. The location is spectacular, with whales visible from the bedroom and redwood forests 10 minutes inland. The house has everything provided including an open fire, all possible household items, was spotlessly clean, and the arrangements were very well organised. As well as the house having a great location on a bluff, the pretty town of Elk is five minutes away, and Mendocino slight further by car. The whole coastline is amazing, and this property was the perfect place for a romantic, getaway break. Oh, and the hot tub on the balcony has a truly special view out to the ocean.
