We had a great stay! The house was very clean, spacious, and well appointed with everything our family needed for a relaxing vacation. We enjoyed the ocean views, hot tub, large dining area, ping pong table, and arcade games. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the property. The host was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this property and would happily stay here again!

This is an excellent house for families. The beach is a short walk and a playground across the street plus a small grocery store just a five minute walk. The three living areas were a plus especially the second story view of the ocean. The only negative were the towels. They did not seem to dry our bodies very well. I dryed the in the dryer but they still seemed to have little absorbency. Overall, we definitely would stay here again. It was very comfortable for an extended family of 12. The procedures to check in and check out were very easy.

Great property with lots of fun things for the kids. Our kids were young…3, 4 and 7….but thoroughly enjoyed the games, puzzles, etc. Older kids would love it! Plenty of beach toys for making sand castles and boogie board and chairs. Lots of space to share or be alone; well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Hot tub , sauna and outdoor fire were well enjoyed. Little grocery store, playground, pizza, and Mexican food within a block or two walk. Highly recommend.

Very nice property with plenty of space for a larger group. Having the en suite bathrooms was a real perk for our group and made for family harmony so that my adult children didn’t need to share. We especially enjoyed the proximity to cypress trees and the tidal pools. We saw sea urchins, anemones, a starfish, crab, and harbor seals. So much fun!

We had a great stay at this beautiful home. The ping pong table was a big hit with my teenagers, and there was plenty of space in the rest of the home for all of us to spread out. 5 minute walk to a convenience store for any items that you may have forgotten at home. 15 min walk to a beautiful beach trail. Would definitely stay again.

The location and view were fabulous! Beds were comfy, and the kitchen was well equipped. The fenced backyard for pets was good to have. The game room was a nice addition. We had several cars and were able to accommodate them at the top of the (steep) driveway and with street parking. Things to be aware of: sound traveled easily in the (full) house; WiFi was a little spotty and didn't reach the entire house; towels seemed weirdly nonabsorbent. If there were a 4.5 rating, we would do that...

Perfect spot!

We enjoyed our stay over Memorial Day weekend. The house was exactly as advertised. We enjoyed the game room, hot tub and BBQ’d too. Only minutes away from beaches and hikes. We would recommend - especially with a larger group. Beds were comfy and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms.

Perfect House in Moss Beach

Perfect place for our family of 10. The house was nice and clean. The ping pong table, arcade games and the wall connect 4 got a lot of use from the kids and adults. The hot tub was also great to sit in and relax. We really liked that all the rooms had bathrooms with showers. The kitchen was fully equipped which was also a plus. This place was great and I would definitely recommend staying here.

Great getaway

Spacious house with gorgeous views of the ocean from kitchen, living room and cozy sunroom. Loved the big kitchen that was well-stocked. The house felt luxurious and a short hop to Moss Beach bluffs and beaches. Good for hanging out, played hours of ping pong at night. Relaxing oceanside getaway 45 mins from East Bay for a perfect refresh.

Wonderful vacation rental

My family stayed here for a long weekend. It was a lovely property with lots of space for everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. We loved that each room had its own bathroom and there was a fun game room downstairs. We watched the sunset over the ocean from the sunroom and it was beautiful. It’s in a great location, close to everything. The checkin and checkout process and communication with the host was easy. We would definitely stay again.
