What a view! Loved the layout of this property, the cleanliness and usability. It was just a short drive to all the Half Moon Bay beaches, shops and restaurants. Stayed here with 3 other ladies and will do it again sometime soon!

We loved our stay here! The views are unmatchable! The place was clean, the beds comfortable, plenty of towels and blankets. Amy was a dream to work with, so thoughtful and responsive. The one thing I was surprised at was that most of the windows and doors didn't have screens, which kept the views nicer from inside, but limited how comfortable we were leaving windows and doors open.We would absolutely book this place again!

Very clean, well appointed kitchen, comfy beds, absolutely gorgeous views. We even saw a few whales! Even though it got pretty chilly at night, it would have been nice to have a few stand fans or ceiling fans as it did get a little warm inside during the day.

Amazing stay, the photos don't come close to doing justice to the place. The views are unparalleled and as ocean front as it gets. The property was very clean, comfortable with all the amenties provided. The bathrooms could have used an exhaust - as it got musty. Amy was very responsive and accommodating.

The house was very well stocked and private. Gorgeous views. It fit our family well. We loved sitting outside by the fire pit watching the sea life (sea lions were our favorite). The back bedroom had a moldy smell which the property manager quickly addressed with air purifiers, but it was still kind of damp on that area. Other than that, it was a lovely stay.

A Dream Vacation Home!

This was the best family vacation we've ever had! The house was like something out of a dream. It was even prettier than the pictures, and so clean and well-kept. Every little detail was just perfect. The view from every single window and patio was heaven! My family loved cooking breakfast and sitting outside to watch the ocean. The binoculars were a hit with my grandmother, and we spotted a sea lion on our first day! Amy was awesome and we appreciated her easy-to-follow instructions and guidance for the local area.

The property is phenomenal! We felt like we were on a cruise ship with the ocean right at our feet! The property manager, Amy and her husband, were incredibly helpful and responsive when we discovered several steps that we could not negotiate with a power chair. Both the owner and the property manager went out of their way to provide ramps, make us feel welcome and allow us to fully enjoy this property. In fact, we loved our experience so much we booked the next trip before we even checked out!

My wife and her favorite ladies spent the weekend and Amy was fantastic! It was my wifes 40th birthday and she put out a card and a bottle of champagne and even decorated the master bed! The ladies had an amazing time. Amazing property and most definitely will book again! Thank you!
