Terrific, Large Half Moon Bay Rental Home

We were frustrated that we couldn't get into the Ritz as it was sold out, but super glad in hindsight, as that drove us to VRBO to find this wonderful, large home rental! Very spacious, well appointed, comfortable beds, close to beach. Fair price (and much cheaper than the Ritz!).

Great place to stay

It's a nice place, in a nice neighborhood, and a great view of the ocean. The house has everything you need. There will little things that could be improved. They're are so many light switches, it was hard to tell what did what. The fireplace in the master bedroom either didn't work or wasn't obvious how to turn it on. As far as cleanliness, it looked like no one had been there in a while, but it was mostly clean. I only mention some of these things because I've stayed at a lot of places and this place could be really incredible with some small tweaks and upgrades.

Easy and relaxing fun!

We had a group of 11 in our family for four days. The house is spacious and allowed each of us to choose to join in with the noisy fun and activity, or instead to retreat to any of several quiet and comfortable areas. We found everything we needed, towels etc. The upper floor is the main living area, and we had no problem with our upstairs activity disturbing the downstairs sleepers. The kitchen is very large and roomy, with every coffee option you could dream of! The house has many views from every window making it bright and cheerful and open. The backyard was put to good use by the little ones, giving them a safe, secure and entertaining place to play. The beach is a short walk from the home and a perfect place to spend the day. The upstairs primary shower continues to have a sticking door that needs some attention, and the dishwasher is not bolted in (so use caution when loading and unloading your dishes). Despite these issues, I would definitely recommend this home for a larger family. The spacious floor plan and location so near the beach just can't be beat!

Good but not great

I usually try to leave only glowing reviews to help people rent their properties. I am also usually not too not picky, but maybe it is because we are in Covid times. Unfortunately, our check in was delayed by 30-45 min which left us standing outside in the cold as the cleaners finished. This was difficult for us because we had two small children and people over 70 with us. Another bummer was that the bridge to cross over to the longer beach was closed so the only other beach nearby was a smaller one. It was still a nice beach but when the tide is up, the beach disappeared. There is a great walking trail nearby so that was nice. The place itself is enormous and very nice. Great for a big group. It has two fireplaces and unfortunately, the one in the master bedroom did not work. Which was a real bummer for my wife and I, who paid for the place. The property manager offered to send a tech to fix it but with Covid, we didn’t feel comfortable with that. He said he would send instructions on how to take a stab at fixing it, but he never did. The master shower is incredible with two shower heads. Unfortunately, after about 3 minutes, the water begins going cold and gets icy very quickly... The stairs are pretty steep so anyone of an older age needs to be carful, my father in law fell the first night pretty hard. It was also tough for our two dogs that are a little older as well. It wouldn’t be an issue for younger dogs or people of course. The backyard is awesome! Great layout and use of space. The dogs and all of Our group loved it! All in all, for the right group, it’s a great spot. For us, I’d rate our stay and experience as a 3-4

Family Wedding in Half Moon Bay

It was okay but absolutely not worth the money. I have used VRBO as my go to around the globe and this was a Meh at best. the neighborhood was a little loud and intimidating a couple of nights. The layout was not great for a group. Everything was on the top floor and the bedrooms were in the basement. I wouldn't rent this property again.

Not as clean as expected with the price

Positives: — location — well stocked kitchen Negatives: — yard is a shadow of itself from what one sees in the pictures — kitchen stove was greasy — stairway very steep. Not for small children, could benefit from a baby gate as living room and kitchen are upstairs. Also, some stair liners were loose which could cause a fall. — the interior desperately needs to be painted — sofas need steam cleaning All in all, for the price paid, I expected something closer to what I’d get for a similarly priced hotel. Unrelated to the property, VRBO and other STR sites are putting hotels to shame with additional fees. For example, early checkin available, at $50/hour. (No benefit for early checkout!). Then admin fees, cleaning fees, etc etc.

Very relaxing

This place is amazing! It is very spacious and allowed us to have a very relaxing time with my family. My adult kids commented on how "chill" it was, since there weren't any signs on what not to do in every room... it's only a very short walk to the beach, and the view onto the ocean from the living room window is breathtaking. The beds were so comfortable. We also enjoyed the beautiful and very private backyard. The dishwasher was a little wonky as it's not bolted in, but everything else was in great working order.

Cool foggy pretty adventure

For the most part, the facility was good. Enough space for all 14 of us. Some things we would improve on are: the shower, door, upstairs, more toilet, paper, paper towels, maybe more beach towels, or games to play. Other than that it was a good place. One more thing, more seating in the living area by the fireplace.
