Fabulous space and views of the ocean from the living/dining room, main bedroom, and sun deck. The sunroom is spectacular with high windows on three sides, and a great place to relax when it’s very windy -as it was during most of our stay.The kitchen is massive and well-equipped for cooking, though we mostly ate out. We brought our own coffee, but there’s a fully stocked coffee bar.Entry is a little tricky, and we couldn’t reach anyone via the phone number provided - but ultimately we managed…My husband and I were alone and think it’s a perfect place for a couple’s retreat. Will rent again for sure.
The sun room…

The view and location were excellent. The manager/owner was upbeat and communicated well.If you enjoy cooking you will find the very large kitchen perfectly designed for cooking with others. We didn’t cook much ourselves because we enjoyed going to some of the many, very good, nearby by restaurants.

The view from the penthouse was beautiful! It was close to the ocean and a short walk to the beach. The apartment was spacious and clean. The only downside was the second and third bedrooms were very small and one had only a double bed.

What an amazing place! The home is spacious, the ocean views are incredible, and everything is first class and just steps away from the ocean. The penthouse deck is a beautiful place to have deep conversations, enjoy wine and cheese with friends and family, or just relax. The home owners were a dream to work with and so very helpful. We hope to return again and again.

A lovely relaxing stay

We had a very relaxing stay and gave a nice break from staying in hotels on our holiday. The property was well appointed, light and airy with very comfortable beds. Time was spent playing golf nearby and walking the Half Moon Bay Coastal Trail. Thank you
