The location and view were fabulous! Beds were comfy, and the kitchen was well equipped. The fenced backyard for pets was good to have. The game room was a nice addition. We had several cars and were able to accommodate them at the top of the (steep) driveway and with street parking. Things to be aware of: sound traveled easily in the (full) house; WiFi was a little spotty and didn't reach the entire house; towels seemed weirdly nonabsorbent. If there were a 4.5 rating, we would do that...

We had a great stay at this beautiful home. The ping pong table was a big hit with my teenagers, and there was plenty of space in the rest of the home for all of us to spread out. 5 minute walk to a convenience store for any items that you may have forgotten at home. 15 min walk to a beautiful beach trail. Would definitely stay again.

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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!
