Beachfront holiday rentals in San Mateo County

Very clean, well kept home with amazing views of the ocean! Perfect size for me and my two daughters and son in law to stay!

Really cozy apartment in a neat buidling, walking distance from the beach and very close to Half Moon Bay restaurants. Really clean apartment with good natural light and the views of the ocean from the balcony are amazing. Tom and Carly were super responsive and easy to communicate with.

A beautiful house, we had a lovely stay in the most beautiful setting, what an incredible area. Trish was easy to communicate which made everything really easy, even though it was short notice. Trish was really helpful with dropping off bags early. Thank you so much!

Very nice, comfortable place. Nice little market less than a block away, and plenty of things to see and do in the area. We'd definitely stay here again.

April’s place worked out great for us: close to the ocean and quality restaurants. This was our second stay, and we look forward to another return.

todo perfecto 100 % recomendado cumplió con mis expectativas sin duda regresaría en mi próxima visita gracias por sus atenciones mi familia quedo encantados con el lugar........Everything was perfect, 100% recommended. It met my expectations. I would definitely return on my next visit. Thank you for your attention. My family was delighted with the place.

James was a great host. Convenient location close to everything

Wonderful location right on the beach. Easy access down to the water too. Local restaurant on the street was perfect for laid back dining with good options. Half Moon Bay is a must visit town! Great host and we’ll be staying here anytime we’re in the Bay Area.

The house reminded us of a lighthouse, its vantage point to the sea where vistas of surf breaking close to 180 degrees from our vantage point. We walked to Mavericks, local restaurants, cafes, and local grocer, just one block away. We bbq’d a few nights and made meals in the spacious kitchen, as I mentioned before all windows face the ocean. It felt as though time had slowed, and we became part of the mana. A very memorable stay for myself and three adult sons.

Jeremy's home is beautifully decorated with an artistic zen vibe. The apartment sits on the cliff with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean. The home is centrally located and easy to get into the city and is an easy ride to the airport. The interior is calm and relaxing and the bench out back is the perfect spot to have morning coffee, read a book, or watch the sunset. There is plenty of parking on the street or the nearby pullout and the neighborhood is quiet.

This was the perfect home for our summer holiday! It easily accommodated our two families as there are two bedrooms at each end of the house along with one bathroom at each end. The open living/dining/kitchen space was perfect for a game night, cooking special meals and enjoying time around their large dining table. We could see whales from the porch as we took in the incredible views. The market down the hill was the perfect place to grab groceries! We also enjoyed walking to the beach and exploring some of the “favorite spots” Patty recommended. It is truly worth a stay. We would love to return one day. Thanks Patty!

Melanie's place was perfect for me. Within walking distance to the beach & local restaurants. The condo was neat & tidy with lots of interesting decor. Thank You for letting me be your guest!

Comfy, Stylish place. I’d stay here again next time I come to HMB.

Great location. Hanna communicated well about expectations. Very hospitable.

We had a wonderful time in Albert’s home! It exceeded our expectations! It was clean, comfortable, quiet and nicely decorated. Close walk to the beach and a nice restaurant and short drive to more restaurants and grocery stores and downtown Half Moon Bay. Albert was so proactive and helpful and responded very quickly every time. Thanks Albert for sharing your beautiful home with us. We will be back.

I had an amazing experience staying at this place. It was quiet and offered a breathtaking view of the ocean, while also providing a sense of privacy. The property was spotless, and the host was wonderful; they even notified me that I had left an item behind and made sure it was placed where I could easily retrieve it later. My partner and I had a great time here, and I will definitely be booking this place again.

My family and I spent the weekend for Mother’s Day and it was excellent what we needed. We will definitely be revisiting if the host will have us. From enough space to beautiful views. At night the backyard was great for entertaining and chilling. While the sound of the ocean captivated you on the balcony. We all love, love, love the spot. Oh, not to mention the perfect space for the kids (19 & 21) to cook a formal dinner for Mother’s Day. Thank you for allowing my family to enjoy your home.

Birthday wish come true! What a beautiful location to celebrate life. Coffee on the patio, ocean waves lulling us to sleep each night, and superb location to a walking path and restaurants. Perfect for guests who needed single story access. Daniel was very responsive with requests, questions, and information. Look forward to coming back in the future!

Staying at the Sea Wolf Bungalow was one of the most special experiences of my life. I had the joy of working with Kim to plan my engagement there, and she made every step seamless, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable. From vendor recommendations to her calming presence, Kim went above and beyond to help create a perfect moment. She welcomed us with such warmth—it felt like staying with family. The bungalow itself is peaceful, beautifully designed, and perfectly nestled in nature. The stunning seaside views, colorful tide pools, and sightings of whales, seals, and other wildlife made every moment feel magical. Kim’s local insight into trails, sights, and hidden gems only added to the experience. The Sea Wolf Bungalow will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and I feel incredibly grateful for the memories made there and for the chance to get to know Kim. Truly the best trip I’ve ever had. Thank you, Kim—for everything.

Ruth’s home in Moss Beach was a perfect second stop on our California road trip. Her home was immaculate and she herself was so welcoming- fresh flowers and fresh sour dough bread. We loved walking the trail out to the beach and there were even baby seal pups to watch, Ruth graciously left us some binoculars and a map to help find them. We enjoyed the quiet and convenient location to several spots in the area- Muir Woods, Carmel, 17 Mile Drive etc. Our only complaint is we wish we had more time. Thank you for a wonderful and restful home to stay in.

The listing is a great location right next to beach access. The space had more than enough bedrooms and bathroom with a laundry room. It has a tankless water heater so hot water is infinite.

This house was perfectly set up for an Airbnb. Great size for family… Lots of beds, and living spaces to enjoy inside and out. Demece was super communicative and very flexible. The kitchen was especially functional for us since it was over Thanksgiving. The views and the area are absolutely gorgeous. We will plan to stay there again!

Lika's home was amazing. It has a fabulous view of the ocean and is just a few steps from it. Everything was very new and clean. The kitchen and living area was a nice big space where we could all fit comfortably. Really enjoyed this house and Lika was a great host.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely beach house, just a few steps away from Miramar Beach. The back yard is very spacious and great for kids, there’s a deck out front with a sunset ocean view, and the master bedroom is very large. Howaida is an amazing host - very responsive, friendly, and accommodating.
