Beautiful location and views

Overall our stay was wonderful we got to spend much needed family time. Nice big table for games and dinner but not much couch seating for large group. Also if you have toddler bring gates for stairs. But really this place is great!

Will not disappoint!

Finding a place for our big family to gather, all in one location, was a dream come true. We filled every bed & every seat at the table & never felt cramped. There was plenty of space for everyone, even a quiet spot upstairs for the baby to nap. We did not lack for ammenities (note the huge washer & dryer), & even hosted family reunion dinner & an UNO tournament one night. Safeway & CVS are 5 minutes away, there's a fantastic Farmer's Market every Saturday, & a quaint little village just 10 minutes away. Be sure to check out HMB Wine & Cheese Shop & Abode. Walking access to the beach & bike path was awesome for the kids. We even had a professional photographer come to capture precious moments, like all the grandkids kids sitting in the humongous tree nearby. It met every need, ticked off every box!

Unforgettable Stay for the Whole Family

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful property in Half Moon Bay! The communication from the hosts, Gi’angelo, and Sharon was great. They made sure we were comfortable and satisfied throughout our visit, which really made us feel welcomed and cared for.The home was spotless and ready for us upon arrival. It was just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for our kids. The sound of the ocean at night and waking up to it each morning was calming and peaceful, a true coastal retreat. The deck was a great bonus where we enjoyed the fresh ocean breeze and breathtaking sunsets.Inside, the space was incredibly roomy and full of natural light. The rooms were spacious and never felt cramped, even with our family of 8. We loved the fully stocked kitchen and large dining table that easily accommodated everyone for meals and game nights. Speaking of games, our kids especially loved the Connect 4 and entertainment setup provided by the owners!Another highlight was the beach-ready equipment and chairs that were available for use, such a thoughtful touch that made our trips to the beach even more enjoyable. The home's proximity to the downtown area was great, too we enjoyed exploring the charming shops and restaurants nearby.All in all, this property was everything we hoped for and more. We absolutely recommend it and can't wait to return!

Perfect location and great home for a family vacation!

Beautiful views, a very clean and comfortable home, fully stocked with all we needed! The deck was a great place to watch the sunset over the ocean. We rented both units (5br total between the two) and it was the perfect spot for our family of 6 adults (with some beds to spare!). We had a wonderful time and everyone loved the house. The hosts are terrific! Highly recommend this VRBO!
