A private, extremely quiet retreat in a great neighborhood, overlooking Pillar Point and a great base for exploring along the coast from Pacifica to Half Moon Bay. Inland exploring was convenient also to Pescadero, Gregorio, Cystal Springs Reservoir and Pulgas Water Temple. Lots off great restaurants, coffee places, grocery stores and breweries.

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.

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.
