About this property

New Home w Expansive Ocean and Sunset Views, Steps to the Seal Cove Beach

A great place to 'shelter in place. Beautiful views, scenic hikes on quiet trails, tide pool exploration.

Moss Beach is 18 miles to San Francisco and 22 miles to Silcone Valley where you will find tech companies and business people. This is a great place to rent if you are here for work. Work hard all day and relax at night while listening to the waves steps from the house.

Newly rebuilt house above Seal Cove Beach. 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a large great room. Large deck with expansive ocean views. Beach access and beautiful Fitzpatrick Marine Reserve Park one block north of house. Two bed, two bath with large living area and brand new kitchen. Same great views from the two bed rooms and the large central living area. WiFi, 2 TV's, ample street parking. Moss Beach is between Pacifica and Half Moon Bay with great beaches, hiking and lots of activities near by for the whole family. Fifteen minute drive to San Francisco. Very short walk to the Moss Beach Brewery, voted best restaurant at Half Moon Bay.
Truly elegantly furnished. Living room couch by Design Within Reach. Casper mattresses. Case Study bed. Hand made oriental carpets and high end kitchen fixtures.

The house was great! Very well appointed. There wasn’t anything in the kitchen that we wished we had. Location was serene and the view outstanding. Close to everything we needed. Our host was responsive and there were even fresh flowers when we arrived. Would definitely stay here again.

A lovely house with beautiful views from all rooms and from the spacious deck and backyard. Within walking distance of all the stuff I like to do in Moss Beach. A perfect house to get away and enjoy the beauty and serenity of the area.

Moss Beach Getaway

We spent 3 days in Moss Beach and near by Half Moon Bay. The property had lovely ocean views and remarkably easy access to activities along the shore, such as kayaking and horseback riding. There is a distillery in the property next door, which caused some car and foot traffic outside but nothing particularly loud or obnoxious.

Great House

Clean, comfortable home with beautiful, spacious deck. Accommodations are as advertised as the home is equipped with everything you’ll need for a great stay. We enjoyed the seals on the beach and saw whales from the deck. Convenient for driving down the coast to Monterrey as well as San Francisco and Sausalito. Would highly recommend.

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway

Such a bright, inviting, and cozy place for our little family to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a wonderful time exploring the Fitzgerald Marine Preserve, and the Tide Pools at Seal Cove Beach. Both were a quick walk from the house. We also liked having the historic Moss Beach Distillery right next door! The beds were super comfy, and the jet tub was a welcome spot to warm up after being out in the rain. Thanks again!

What a view!

Better than the pictures! The water and sunset views were amazing, as were the sound of the waves. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked with personal care products. The deck is huge and comfortable. Although Located next to a restaurant, we had no problems with parking or noise. The only negative is that the bathroom pocket doors stick making them difficult to close.

What a View

We had a great weekend stay here. Pictures do not do that deck and view justice. So relaxing out there with the fire pits going, very quiet and we heard no noise from the restaurant next door. It did rain a couple nights but we still had the view from indoors. Only downfall is the parking. If you leave and return before 7:00 pm the parking is taken up from the restaurant customers. We managed though, and it wasn’t a big deal.

Construction Work

They were having construction work in the backyard with heavy equipment. So one full day we could not use the outside. We were not told about this and spent hours on the phone dealing with this. Owner gave us a $200 refund, which didn't even cover the cost of one day.

Kathleen E C.

The Moss Beach/Half Moon Bay area was filled with beaches, costal hikes, ocean boating, shopping, quality restaurants and live music to enjoy which we did! WiFi at the property was rarely available throughout our 3 night weekend stay.This property is not exactly as represented in the photos however. It is directly next door to a very busy local restaurant and public parking to the restaurant and seal cove overlook is 10 steps away from the front door. It’s a very heavy traffic area.The inside is adequate and basic. There is a futon extra bed but it has a metal bar throughout the middle of it which was very uncomfortable. The outdoor deck is comfortable and the view is nice but the noise from the restaurant next door permeates the outdoor deck area. The property was a bit unkempt and is showing wear, scuff marks on the walls, piles of weeds and trash left behind outside. There was damp laundry left behind from previous guests in the dryer.When we needed to contact the host, Wifi was unavailable as mentioned earlier in this review.It was a convenient location, The extra toothbrushes in the bathrooms, the extra hair ties, the kitchen coffee/tea tray was thoughtfully stocked. The dining and living areas have plenty of seating space. My group of four adults all agreed that for the price, we will choose a different stay location when we return to the area again.

Why they chose this property

We have chosen this location as our retirement home, but will share it with our HomeAway friends until that time comes.

What makes this property unique

Moss beach is located just north of Half Moon Bay with its 4 mile long beach and loads of activities. The house sits 60 feet above the ocean with great views from all living areas and a beautiful, large deck. Enjoy the constant sound of waves hitting the shore and breathing the clean, fresh Pacific Ocean air. There is a beautiful 1/4 mile long beach with access 200 yards to the north. San Francisco is around 15 - 20 minutes north on Rt 1
