Great weekend getaway!

We had a great time in this house for a long weekend with family and friends. The kids found plenty to play with, and we were able to enjoy local restaurants as well as cook a nice family meal in the kitchen. The hosts were very responsive to questions.

Perfect spot!

We enjoyed our stay over Memorial Day weekend. The house was exactly as advertised. We enjoyed the game room, hot tub and BBQ’d too. Only minutes away from beaches and hikes. We would recommend - especially with a larger group. Beds were comfy and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms.

Perfect House in Moss Beach

Perfect place for our family of 10. The house was nice and clean. The ping pong table, arcade games and the wall connect 4 got a lot of use from the kids and adults. The hot tub was also great to sit in and relax. We really liked that all the rooms had bathrooms with showers. The kitchen was fully equipped which was also a plus. This place was great and I would definitely recommend staying here.

Beautiful and spacious home

A large group of family came for my daughters wedding in Half Moon Bay. This home is very large and spacious and was perfect for our group. The only slightly negative thing would be that the main couch in the living room should probably be cleaned as it was a little dirty and stained up. Besides that, it was perfect and I would definitely recommend this property.

Wonderful vacation rental

My family stayed here for a long weekend. It was a lovely property with lots of space for everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. We loved that each room had its own bathroom and there was a fun game room downstairs. We watched the sunset over the ocean from the sunroom and it was beautiful. It’s in a great location, close to everything. The checkin and checkout process and communication with the host was easy. We would definitely stay again.

Great getaway

Spacious house with gorgeous views of the ocean from kitchen, living room and cozy sunroom. Loved the big kitchen that was well-stocked. The house felt luxurious and a short hop to Moss Beach bluffs and beaches. Good for hanging out, played hours of ping pong at night. Relaxing oceanside getaway 45 mins from East Bay for a perfect refresh.

Coastal home with a view

This home is a place to make memories with your family and friends. It is spacious, comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked. The game area was a family favorite for us. Loved the convenience to the freeway, walking trails, and ocean. I enjoyed reading in the living room and watching the fog roll in over the ocean. Just magical! Perfect weekend get away!!!

Family weekend

Our family had a long weekend and was looking for something driving distance to enjoy. This location delivered! We enjoyed Moss Beach, Half Moon Bay and Pescadero. The start of pumpkin season is a great time. This is a beautiful house, central location. Nice views. A great place for families. Plenty of room for 8-12 people. Everything you need is there. We loved the ping pong table & vintage Pac-ManWe enjoyed the hot tub. Loved that it was pet friendly, our bulldog was right at home. We would definitely stay here again

Awesome Family VACA Home!

Amazing time with family at this Moss Beach home. Perfect set up for a large group. Everything was clean and well stocked. Kitchen fully stocked! We made incredible meals for everyone to eat around the large dining room table. The beach is so close and beautiful! Plus there is a wonderful park right down the street where we spent time playing on the swings and equipment. So fun! Will definitely be back. Thank you!

A perfect summer family getaway

Our family thoroughly enjoyed a week away escaping the heat of the valley at this beautiful home in Moss Beach. Relaxing views, multiple gathering areas, and cool breezes abound. Proximity to the ocean, Fitzgerald Marine Reserve tide pools, Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, plus a local park perfect for kids and a surprisingly well stocked convenience store for the incidentals -- the location was perfect. Took easy day trips to SF, Santa Cruz Boardwalk, etc. Our only hiccup was the previous renter had definitely broken the rules and smoked in a few bedrooms. Although the house was immaculately clean, the smell lingered even with air filters running. Sarah and Andreia were quick to respond and brought us some Ozium spray which helped quite a bit. Andreia was also kind enough to bring us a coffee grinder! Overall, it was a great experience and our family would happily stay here again!

2024 Camacho Family Vacation

The house is beautiful and spacious. We traveled with our immediate family, 6 adults and 4 children 6,8,10,and 12sh years old. We enjoyed the accommodation, plenty of space to socialize and play, also areas for quiet time to read a book. The kids loved and had a great time, they enjoyed all the games. The outdoor patios are beautiful as well. The kitchen was very well stocked, they had everything you can think of. I was very impressed. The kids and parents enjoyed the hot tub. I had a few questions about the hot tub, and highlighted a few other issues to the property management, and they replied promptly. We would definitely rent this property again. I highly recommend it. Thank you!! Note: My 5 year old grandson’s feedback. The “ interior is great! But, the exterior needs to be redone, too many spider webs” he had us all laughing.

House is in nice location close to beach but a few things to know...

My family just returned from spending 4 nights at this property. Overall the house was clean and as described. We enjoyed the distant oceanview from the patio room and also appreciated the long table for meals. The dog friendly beach was just 5 minutes away as were some nice restaurants. The garage had plenty of items for the beach. A few things to know... (1) Steep stairs: The only thing that did not translate in the pictures was that the main level could only be accessed by steep stairs. This may be a problem for elders or anyone with limited mobility. (2) Stove: The induction stove burners felt old and took time to heat up. (3) Back yard: Could use some sprucing up- there was some pet poop from previous? clients, and the patio furniture was worn out. The hot tub worked well however. (4) Towels: More bath towels would have been nice to have given the 4 night stay. We had some issues with the coffee maker and the TV- while it took some time to get someone to respond (and thus the reason for the 4 stars) and come over- once they did they were able to replace the coffee maker and also fix the TV. Overall I would recommend this house as a nice place for a family and dog to stay.
