About this property

Private Studio , spectacular Ocean View , bathroom , kitchenette, Very Quiet

Welcome to our quiet, private super clean 300 SF studio with 1000 Square feet of outdoor decking and manicured gardens. Follow the well lit 15steps (NO RAILING) leading you to a private gate and studio. The studio features, custom Teak furniture, a sleep number bed, large flat screen with Direct TV, Comcast internet, small kitchenette, beautiful custom Fireclay Tile throughout. Guests can enjoy meandering through the garden. The perfect little getaway nest. I do want all guest to be aware you must be AIGLE to navigate the 15 pavers stairs(without Railing) down to Studio. Please see photo.
Be aware, that parking is across the street facing up the hill from the house, Trying to get a local Taxi, Uber is an issue. You should have a car the distance to the beach and restaurants is not far but our home is up a steep hill.

    The Perfect Getaway location

    The owners, Phil and Wendy, were fabulous and the perfect compliment to the gorgeous view. Everything was so comfortable and serene. It was the perfect escape from city living and just what I needed. This was my first time staying in Half Moon Bay and I would highly recommend this experience and location.

    This property was very nice. It was way up in the hills of El Granada. Right outside the door was a nice area to lay in the sun or view the ocean. If you have trouble with stairs, this would probably not be the best place to stay since there were quite a few.

    Lovely Weekend Getaway

    My partner and I live in the bay and needed some time away from city life. This spot was the perfect place to relax and reset over the weekend. Lots of good food is nearby, the views are gorgeous, and we had a great Santa Cruz day trip to boot. Will definitely be coming here again if we can!!!

    About the host

    Hosted by Phil Ruffier

    Host profile image
    We raised our family in this home and now that they have grown and moved away we have a lot of unused space. We decided to dedicate a studio space for hosting travelers from near and far. You are going to love all the amenities.

    Why they chose this property

    We are centrally located for trailers looking to explore from the wine country to Big Sir. We have spent over 30 years tending to our ever changing landscape you may not want to go anywhere once you get here. You will enjoy Direct Ocean View of Pillar Point Harbor and Maverick world class BIG wave surf spot. The space is very private with fence yard will see myself or wife maybe in Garden.

    What makes this property unique

    If you want a romantic get away this is the perfect spot. We have romantic lighting and gas lamps for evening spent in the garden or dining outdoors. Very Private from Main house. The room has fireclay tile throughout and kept sparkling clean.
