About this property

Upscale cottage: First block from the beach

Welcome to our lovely cottage in Half Moon Bay. Quaint from the outside, it is comfortable, stylish and well appointed on the inside. It is located in a quiet neighborhood in the first block off the ocean and is just a 5 minute walk or bike ride from the historic downtown. It has versatile appeal: enjoy a romantic week or weekend for two or invite another friend or another couple.

We do not have many reviews yet but you can refer to the two following properties ( VRBO 33626 and VRBO 34170) the same owner had in Paris for years and be assured that you will be well taken care of (hundreds of 5 start pristine reviews, super host/premier partner).

The House:

Bright dinning room with beautiful DWR glass table opens to a large deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee, a great book with tea or an evening glass of wine.

The kitchen is very well appointed. If you can't find it you don't need it:). Bar/table with two stools where one can talk to the cook or hang out while making a nice dinner.

Green Leaf grocery store with organic produce a short ride or a walk away. You can buy fresh fish or crab at the fish market at the port or buy directly off the boat. Beautiful farmers market on Saturday also very close by.

Master bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed and a small deck leading to a private side yard .

Second bedroom has two twin beds .
Beautiful wallpaper on one wall hung by David's son Robin Jerome (Stuckup wallpaper company)

Living room with TV, couch and two nice chairs. Cabinet lighting gives a warm light for a romantic and relaxing evening.

Amenities:

Ping pong table

Board games.

2 side yards area with picnic table and lounge chairs off the large deck on one side and lounge chairs on the other where you can play petanque/boules.
Large parking area in driveway.

More:

500 steps to the coastal trail and 7 minutes walk from two State park Beach: Poplar beach on one side and Half Moon Bay State beach on the other..

If you like, you can hike to the Ritz Carlton Hotel and enjoy a plentiful, famous brunch on Sunday or get breakfast any day. 3.5 miles hike away. 10 minutes drive.

If you want to cook, Green Leaf Market is around the corner, featuring local organic produce. And of course, don't miss the Farmer's Market on Saturdays (a 10 minute walk).
For Chocolate lover, Sweet 53 in the building next to the farmers market makes chocolate equal if not superior to the best Parisian Chocolaterie ( I can say so because I am French:). If you get there early enough, you can also get, during the stone fruit season, a tart that this expert Swiss owner makes herself and that are absolutely to die for and in limited supply.

Restaurants: Flying fish, Pasta Moon, Mesa Luna in Half Moon Bay and La Costanera in Princeton, and of course, the Ritz Carlton.

If you want to do a bit of exercise you canmake it a really healthy vacation enjoy a class at the yoga studio Enzo half a mile away. We can refer you to a good therapeutic massage to make your stay a SPA experience.

Entire beach house with large deck, large landscaped back and side yard and outdoor furniture for your relaxation) situated in the sunny desirable Alsace Lorraine neighborhood; as you head north the beach towns are oftentimes shrouded in fog. This private home is on the west-side of Hwy 1 a half mile south of Highway 92. Easy in, easy out, and walking distance to the best of everything. Sit outside and experience the ocean air, enjoy a short 1 block walk to either the best beaches in the bay area or 6 blocks to quaint Half Moon Bay shops and restaurants. Walk the coastal trail south along the ocean to the Ritz-Carlton and treat yourself to a sparkling beverage or brunch.

Bring your binoculars for the whales and dolphins (although they come close enough to see without them). The fall gray whale migration is one of the world's most magnificent and accessible wildlife spectacles.

We installed a compact carbon water purifying to make sure you drink healthy water and that your coffee and tea taste particularly good.

Smoking is not allowed in the house or anywhere on the property. We strive to create a setting that is comfortable, clean, organized and clutter-free for everyone to enjoy.

Guests beyond four (4) maximum registered are not permitted except for short daytime visits.

Please tell us more about yourself, any guests that will join you and your plans.

Just perfect
A friend and I spent 4 peaceful days here enjoying the house in a beautiful neighborhood, the location being so near the water, the coastal trail, the sunsets and the cruiser bikes. Just perfect. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Joelle Dussuyer, David Jerome

Host profile image
Joelle is a Parisian living in San Francisco for the past 39 years. David is a transplanted New Yorker. For the past 15 years, while maintaining their respective careers, we have owned and managed two lovely apartments in Paris. This past year, wanting a house centrally located between our three children in San Francisco and Palo Alto, we decided to trade Paris for Half Moon Bay and create a refuge for us and our families. Until we retire sometime in the near future, we are sharing our house with you.

Why they chose this property

This property is located in the most desirable neighborhood in Half Moon Bay. Minutes from downtown, steps to the ocean.
