The management and staff were quite lovely. We had to leave a day early because of a family issue at a wedding, and I broke down in front of the man there and he was SO KIND! (Which made me cry even more) A lovely location, and we loved the gazebo!

Nice B&B with beautiful setting looking out on ocean. Breakfast was great. Dinner was mixed. One appetizer and entree were excellent. The other appetizer and entree were so-so. (Onion soup came with cheese not melted but scorched, and pork entree was overcooked, dry, and tough.). Staff very friendly and welcoming.

This is the most amazing place! The food is divine, breakfast was brought to our room each morning after submitting our order, we each had a california eggs benedict, pastries, parfaits and fresh coffee. The beach is 5 minutes walk from your room. The garden is stunning! Dinner was incredibly delicious and the setting so romantic and beautiful. Highly highly recommend Elk Cove Inn we will be coming back again!

My partner and I stayed for two nights, and it was absolutely amazing. The bedroom was clean and cozy, with a beautiful view of the beach and the Pacific Ocean beyond. They were very friendly and helpful with our dog. The breakfast in our rooms was lovely, and make sure to make a reservation for dinner — they are not usually able to accommodate walk-ins!

We enjoyed the property and staff. There is a patio area with tables and chairs, and a fire pit where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful weather while listening to the waves and overlooking the ocean. Loved that this property is dog-friendly, and you can access the beach from it. We took our dogs to enjoy the water and play in the sand.

Beautiful room and views. Breakfast was nice too. Staff were great. Kitchen could use a dish towel and a serrated knife. Small fridge seemed to be overheating and not very cold. Grounds could use some maintenance. Not trying to be knit picky, just thought it should be better for the lofty price.

Our 2nd trip to this amazing property! Grounds are well maintained and room was clean and very comfortable. Slept like a baby with sliding door open and sound of oceans waves. Had dinner in restaurant and the quality was like a 5 star! Outstanding food! Photos are from our balcony. Breath taking views.

Great for that intimate secluded get a away. Far from hustle bustle of town, left alone while at the Inn. Great private beach access, garden was well kept and food was above standard. Rooms were great but could use minor TLC, poor window function and single ply toilet paper were a couple inconveniences that seemed out of place with the rest of the experience.
