Gorgeous Half Moon Bay Home

StevenRating, 5 stars2 months ago

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.

Cute cliffside retreat home

JenniferRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

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.

Stunning Panoramic Views of Pacific Ocean!

SummerRating, 5 stars10 months ago

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!
