We had a wonderful time in Half Moon Bay. The house was in the perfect location - we loved walking and biking on the coastal trail to Pillar Point, walking to Main Street, visiting the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, and of course eating lobster rolls at Sam’s. We’ll be back to bike more of the trails under the Redwoods :) Hosts and house were perfect for our family.

Walking distance to the Poplar Beach and the coast trail/bike path, close to the town, and some awesome hiking trails in the hills. Big enough for five of us to stop for a couple of nights, make couple of meals, and continue on our roadtrip.

Everything we needed was there - all cooking and eating utensils and supplies. Also everything for the bath. The internet signal was strong. The beds were comfortable,. Also the host was easily reached and available. On top of all that, the house is just a block from an exquisite walk along the ocean

The location can’t be beat. It was relaxing, off the beaten path, and down town was great. We really enjoyed our stay. It was nice and cool even in the summer and a welcome break from the everyday. The house was neat and clean and everything was well arranged and easy to find. John was a great host and checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.

Great property - short 10 min walk to the beach. It was perfect for my family of four to enjoy for our four night stay! Outdoor shower at the property, with warm water, was so ideal once walking back from the beach! John (property owner) had excellent communication - which was much appreciated!We’d definitely stay again in the future! Thanks again!

This property was excellent! The owners are fabulous. The place is a 5 minute walk to the beach. My daughter left her stuffy at the home and we live in Colorado. John was so helpful with trying to reunite her with her stuffy. I highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Casserly & John Ortiz

Host profile image
We are a family of beach lovers (especially my wife) who enjoy having a beach retreat that is easily accessible to San Francisco, San Jose, and the SF Bay area.

Why they chose this property

We love this location because it is easy to get to, and it is next to the beach, bike trails, hiking trails and so many ocean activities. We also find the people in Half Moon Bay to be very friendly.

What makes this property unique

Here are 9 of our favorite Activiteis:

(1) Easy beach outings!
(2) Evening hot dog and marshmallow roasts on the beach
(3) Taking a run along the bluffs and returning along the beach collecting shells.
(4) Biking along the Coastal Trail up to Princeton by the Sea for a seafood meal at Sam's Chowder House or Barabara's Fish Trap (2 local Favorites)
(5) Biking or driving a few minutes to town for a Sunday morning chocolate croissant or Farmers Market (seasonal)
(6) Easy access to Coastal Repertory Live Theater
(7) Enjoying a romantic evening sunset on our beach at the end of our street
(8) Savoring a sunset glass of wine at the Ritz-Carlton hotel while listening to the bagpipers playing the sunset tunes
(9) A cozy nighttime fire in the living room listening to music with the sounds of waves crashing and occasional blares of the foghorns drifting through the windows
