A cozy, sheltered home base with all the basics

My daughter and I stayed here over spring break. This place was a great value. It served as a nice home base at the end of each day of sightseeing up and down the coast. It's an older building, with mostly updated finishings. The kitchen has all the basics, older but mostly functional (sharp knives not withstanding).

One Night Stay

While we stayed just one night, we found the accomodations just right for the two of us and our small doggie. The location ideal as it was close (2 blocks) to the ocean and several of our favorite restaurants. The rental is basically one large room with livingroom space, bed and kitchen with a separate bathroom. The TV and WiFi reception were excellant. Kitchen had all the basic pots, pans, microwave, coffee maker and utensils. Kitchen cabinets were well stocked with goodies. I found the bed a little soft for my liking but I slept well with the ocean air. Only negative is that there is only a tub shower and no grab bar. Being 79, I felt that posed a fall hazard, for me, so I decided on a towel bath for one night instead. Would book again for longer stay if this was corrected.

Great location a block from the State beach and a trailhead for hiking and biking with beautiful ocean views. The house is lovely, and quiet with a huge yard and it was great to be able to have my dog with me. Would love to come back again.

Nice clean condo but view not as nice as advertised.

We liked the gate so we felt safe. The neighborhood was quiet like our neighborhood. We slept with the windows open and there wasn't much noise from Highway One. Montara was close to everything. However, I noticed that the coffee filter was not emptied after the previous guest and there was a tear on the side of the bottom fitted sheet. That set should be tossed. Also the bottom of the shower was very slippery and since there is no fan or ventilation in the bathroom, the bottom of shower should be scrubbed with cleanser after each guest to prevent falls. During the summer I work at a local campground as part of the housekeeping staff and am always looking for hazards. I want to give a shout out to Matt who always responded back quickly. He amazed me with his courtesy and ability to help me with concerns and questions. Thanks Matt!

Wonderful cottage near the beach

We stayed at this dog-friendly 1 room cottage. The room was clean and well stocked, with an enclosed yard for our dog. The bathroom was big with plenty of towels and soap, shampoo, etc. The kitchen was huge and had 3 kinds of coffee-makers! The bed and couch were comfy. The only negatives were that the room was up a long, steep staircase, which would have been useful to know in advance. Our current pup handled the stairs, but our previous one would not have been able to. And the yard could use some landscaping.

Montara hillside cabi

This is a one room cabin on a hillside with spectacular views. Comfortable unit but no central heating at night. Once you enter the property there are 15 stairs up to the living area. Questionable situation for some seniors. Short walk to the beach which is Stunning. No crosswalk to cross Highway 1 to get to the beach and have to wait for break in traffic to cross. Not an issue if driving to beach. My booking was through VRBO. However, all communication were with a property management company who sent me inaccurate check information several times. No issues once you arrive.

Relaxing getaway

We had a wonderful stay, the place matched the description and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The internet was fast and reliable, and the TV offered plenty of streaming options for entertainment. The house is conveniently located within a short walking distance to the beach, which was fantastic. The room, situated above a garage, was cozy and comfortable. Though it did get a bit stuffy after being out for a while, opening the windows quickly cooled it off. The neighborhood felt close-knit and safe even though it was busy. While we couldn't hear the ocean as much as we had hoped, we could still see it from the house.

Relaxing getaway

We stayed here for a mini staycation and appreciated that it was walking distance to the beach, hiking trails, and even the marine reserve. The place is quaint and cozy, and has a fully stocked kitchen and pantry (pots/pans, oil, seasonings, etc). We also appreciated all the streaming options that didn't require us to log into our own accounts. The only hiccup we experienced were the ~5 flies flying around the house when we checked in. It was off putting, but someone came over with Raid after we told the host. I suspect the flies come in from the front door since the windows have screens. I'd recommend that the host keep a fly swatter in the house for future guests.

I listened to the ocean

I loved being in earshot of the ocean, easy walking distance to the beach. It's not a fancy house--one big rooms, windows stick when you try to open them, basic yard landscaping. For a writing retreat like I was on, though, it was perfect.

An Overall Pleasant Stay

Overall our stay was pleasant. However, there were some hitches. Here are some details, The TV was not working more than couple of days. You tried to have it fixed but to no avail. The bathtub was very pretty, but also very slippery and there were no grab bars or anything else one could hold onto while taking a shower. For old people like us it represented a real problem. I pointed this out to you while we stayed there and hope for your sake you will try to remedy this. We are also landlords and had been warned about what the consequences for some sort of accident might be. Climbing the stairs, especially with luggage, was an issue only for us. However, a few words in the write-up would have been helpful. Everything else in the house was great. The appliances, dishes and the furnishing were great. The neighborhood was pretty and people we met were very friendly. I hope you will take our comments in the spirit that it was made. Constructive. Regards, George,

Loved this place!!!

Great property, great location. Quiet, quaint neighborhood. Friendly neighbors. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. The walk to the beach was super short and so beautiful! Quick car ride to Pacifica and Half Moon Bay. Dogs loved the large yard and outdoor space. The is a rather large gap in the fenced driveway so we did have to keep them away from that so they didn't escape. Looks like they are upgrading and improving the property but, it was absolutely perfect for my daughter and I and our two small dogs, we kept a window open so we could hear the ocean all night. Such an easy and seemless transaction. Definitely hope we can come back again. Thank you for a great Christmas getaway.

Montara

Apartment is as described. Good location. One large room. Fine for what we needed for our weekend stay near our family. Only improvement request would be for somewhere to put our clothes so we could get out of our suitcases. And the bedside table lamp was not functional so couldn’t read in bed. But Montara is a cool coastal town with lots to do nearby.
