This was the worst VRBO we have ever rented. The alarm went off and we had to un-install it in order to get rid of the deafening sound. One of the bathroom sinks never completely emptied. The code to the front door didn't always work. There were no railings on any of the stairs. Paint was peeling off on a bedroom door. And many other minor, but annoying, things wrong. I expect more when I pay 880/day.

Hi Ronald,
Thank you for staying at our beautiful coastal home and for sharing your feedback.
For future guests, our home has welcomed travelers from all 50 U.S. states and 40 countries and has received 200 five-star reviews across multiple vacation-rental platforms. Guests have especially loved the home and its stunning Moss Beach/Half Moon Bay location.
We did our best to support Ronald throughout his stay, although several concerns were minor or based on misunderstandings. There was a small area of peeling paint near the bottom of one bedroom door, and the smoke alarm sounded due to significant smoke/steam from cooking, as smoke alarms are designed to do.
For every reservation, we create a unique door code for privacy and security. Ronald repeatedly entered the last four digits of his phone number instead of the unique code provided, which caused the access issue. We continued assisting whenever help was requested and provided the same care we offer all our guests.
Our home is in one of the most beautiful locations along the Bay Area coastline, with easy access to beaches, tide pools, coastal trails, oceanfront restaurants, Pillar Point Harbor, water activities, and breathtaking Pacific Ocean scenery.
We’re incredibly grateful to the many guests who have loved staying with us. If any future guest has questions about anything mentioned in this review, please feel free to message me directly. I’d be very happy to answer them.
Unfortunately, a good friend ours recently passed away. We wanted to find a place near Half Moon Bay where we could gather and hold a small memorial. This house was perfect for us - enough beds to sleep in and open space to sit and talk. Our host was very accommodating and helpful throughout. I would definitely stay here again!
I was so impressed with this place. All my friends were too. Sharin was so responsive and helpful and even let me check in early. I am grateful to her for this experience!
Our large (15) multigenerational group wanted to stay near a beach, near San Francisco. This property was large enough for us using the upstairs and downstairs. The kitchen upstairs accommodated all the cooks and worked well.
There was plenty of parking and it was a quiet area.
It was close to trails and beaches and food options were good. We enjoyed our stay. Responses were very good with Sharin.
We are a group of 9 seniors mostly over 70s. The house is spacious and the rooms comfortable with enough bathrooms for all. The kitchen is well equipped with coffee and most spices and cooking products and cooking utensils. There are markets close by for essentials and great restaurants We loved the walks close by the beach. Sharin is a thoughtful host and quick to respond to our questions and requests. We would have no hesitation staying there again
The location is phenomenal. The place has everything you need for a great weekend with friends or family. Host is very friendly and responsive. I would definitely go back.
