  Gary & Nancy - Thanks again for opening up your beautiful home for our stay. I can't remember having spent a few days anywhere and feeling so relaxed in such a peaceful, spectacular setting. Your photos don't do it justice. It is a beautiful home, but just as importantly is owned and managed by very special people. We much appreciated the gracious, uncomplicated, and accommodating manner in which you handled everything on relatively short notice. The home was clean and elegant, yet lived-in (not stale), and the serenity and views unforgettable. The sight of the lighthouse on the bluff, combined with the sound of the surf, was the perfect beginning to each day, while the sunset over the water was the perfect ending. Can't say enough to recommend your property to potential future clients! Thanks again, we will be back!

  This place is wonderful! Stayed here a week, our annual Sister Trip and had a simply wonderful stay. Great views of the ocean from so many rooms, it was so peaceful, relaxing and exhilarating all at the same time. Each bed was so comfortable and that steam shower - Oh Boy, what a treat. You are so convenient to visit up and down the coast and to San Francisco as well. Many great places to eat nearby, one was our favorite for breakfast and lunch - Gherkin's Sandwich Shop. Huge portions and we loved everything we tried. If you are looking at this place for your stay - I say do it, reserve it. We were all so very ahppy we did.

  Over the past years, I have stayed at this beautiful coastal home in Montara many times. I find myself recommending it to friends and local visitors as a jewel in this seaside area. The views are incredible, the accomodations cozy and lovely. It is a great place to gather for a conference or a relaxing stay. Nancy and Gary are gracious and thoughtful and make you truly like their place is your own. Don't miss a chance to see the coastside in its true splendor and style.

  great place right on the Pacific, gracious host and hostess, artistic design, in easy driving distance to San Francisco as well as the lovely coast down to Santa Cruz boardwalk. Great for families and groups, especially for a work group or offsite meeting. Hostess Nancy offers facilitation extras that are world class. And a great coffee shop a 5 minute walk away. Excellent restaurants nearby too.

  Our family had a marvelous experience staying in this home. My first reaction upon entering is that the pictures, even the video do not do justice to the serene setting, the decor, etc., it's absolutely magical! The furnishings, linens, bedding are all very comfortable, clean, and inviting - very conducive to family time. The steam shower is wonderful, the kitchen open and well equipped, the bedrooms very nice. We even took family pictures on the deck! Gary and Nancy are great to work with, their communication is exceptional. We enjoyed the house so much we did very little away though there is plenty of shopping and such within a reasonable distance. I would highly recommend this house year round. We'd made wonderful memories there!

  We stayed at this property while attending golf's 2012 US Open. The house was perfect! The owners live on the property which is not a problem as they respect your privacy, but are very friendly and accommodating when needed. The house is absolutely gorgeous and the location, which its spectacular views and easy access to San Francisco and all those beautiful little seaside towns south of San Fran, makes it an ideal spot. We would not hesitate returning when and if our vacation schedule allows us back to that area.

  Owner response: Laura Jo and CJ were our first VRBO guests to reserve and they set the bar very high. We look forward to seeing them again. Nancy & Gary

  Our week's stay was for a annual family reunion among sisters with their adult children. We were seeking a place on the ocean, yet close to San Francisco. This home is close to the airport and easily accessible to San Fancisco. It was very easy to find our way around and we enjoyed time in the vineyards in the north; the redwoods; the zoo; to Chinatown; south to Carmel and the wildlife preserves. We also spent ti me at the light house while exploring the ocean and shoreline below. We loved the local restaurant recommedations provided by the Nancy and Gary. The home was perfect for our family dinners; evenings filled with talking, catching up or reading. The house was gorgeous, yet very comfortable and inviting. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you could posibly need. The bedrooms were comfortable and provided restful sleep. Tastefully decorated and clean. The yard was beautiful. The view was breath taking with gorgeous sunsets; ocean and shoreline wildlife were abundant . The sound and beauty of the waves was peaceful and relaxing. We couldn't have asked for a more picture perfect view and surroundings. A wide variety of restaurants and activites is close by. We all came seeking time to enjoy each while also having some peace and quiet time. This home and location provided it all. Everyone had a wonderful stay and we left feeling refreshed and relaxed. It was a memorable stay. We were so greatful for the list of restaurants provided. The gave us helpful directions. The pictures only begin to reveal the beauty of the home and its surroundings. We were in awe upon our arrival at the beauty and warmth of the home. We had a welcome note which greeted us on the counter with all kinds of helpful information on the home and surrounding area. Everything was clean and up to date (trust me we are quite particular on this). We had no complaints. I would highly recommend this home.

  Nestled between the ocean and Hwy 1 on top of a tall bluff overlooking the ocean, this property comes complete with everything you'd ever want... a gorgeous view out of every window, beautiful art displayed on the walls, an amazing kitchen, comfortable beds, a steam room and wonderful nearby places for long walks on the beach. Breathtaking views abound. You are so close to the ocean it's almost like being on a cruise ship... All you see is ocean when you look out the large west facing windows. You are also not too far from Redwoods. A car ride down Hwy 1 is another amazing way to spend a couple of hours if you can ever get yourself to venture outside the comfy abode. An added bonus is it's so close to San Francisco airport for easy access when you land and/or to visit the city for a day of sightseeing. Nancy and Gary were wonderful hosts... helpful in every way, but gave us space. I highly recommend this property as a gorgeous getaway for a couple or a team retreat.

  My company booked a one-day offsite at this property. It was such a warm and inviting environment and the beautiful surroundings contributed to innovative ideas and team camaraderie... all in all a great, relaxed, and productive setting for our work! We felt well-taken care of... catering options were fantastic and the food was as good as the place was beautiful! At the same time, the entire team wanted to return at some point with our families.... one even mentioned she might return for her anniversary! The bedrooms are gorgeous, well-appointed, and all so nice it would be hard to choose which one to stay in! This is truly a place to consider for either business meetings or retreats... or personal and family retreats!
