Everything Good!

Our family week at the Oceanfront Beach Retreat was a delight! The owner was a pleasure to work with; the beds, linens, kitchen, living area were perfect for our needs. Walking in the area, going to the pickleball courts, down to the beach, everything was accessible! Thank you for our enjoyable week, we felt right at home!

Plenty of room and great location

The house was very clean and plenty of clean linens. We had a party of 7 and there was a bed for everyone. The views off the top deck were amazing. Nearby hiking trails and nature preserve. The location is great too as it was 5 minutes to half moon Bay and 30 minutes to SF. Would definitely rent again.

This home is truly wonderful! We came as a group of 3 couples, though there was room for another couple plus another additional bedroom with bunk beds( if you bring along kids), so plenty of room and privacy between bedrooms also. It was very lovely for every bedroom to have it's own private bathroom, really felt like everyone had a master. The deck was great, though a bbq would be a welcome addition!:) The house was sparkling clean, fully loaded with all needed items in kitchen, and when we lost power in a torrential rainstorm, the owner was quick to reply/reimburse my request for candles (which we were able to purchase at the market just across the highway- they have everything you can think of!) We will definitely be back, actually making this an annual trip after this amazing stay!

A wonderful experience all the way around

The property was perfect for a mini reunion with 5 women in their early 60s. Exceptional view of the ocean, very clean, comfortable beds, well equipped. Perfect location. Rani the owner was wonderful to deal with. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Big, beautiful beach house!

Our large family group really enjoyed this home. The proximity to the ocean and the views were stunning, especially the sunsets from the balcony! Everyone had their privacy, but there was room to gather together and enjoy each other’s company. The neighborhood was quiet, but we were close to stores and restaurants. The home was well equipped with everything we needed and the host could not have been nicer or more helpful. It was a great stay!

Spectacular view and lodging design (sleeping quarters, etc)

We celebrated my husband’s 80th in a setting and location with a panoramic vista of the Pacific and innumerable walking trails for a group of enthusiastic senior and some younger folk. The accommodations were ideal and the amenities much appreciated. The three story level allowed for privacy and presented no difficulty for any of us “seniors”.

Beautiful view!

The house has a great location, incredible views, and is beautifully appointed. The three levels and individual baths and balconies allow privacy. The open top floor promotes family togetherness and tireless views. The kitchen is one of the best designs I’ve seen and the window over the sink looks at the Pacific! We also loved the deck fireplace. Thanks, we’ll come back.

My daughters wedding

We had a wonderful stay at the house in Moss Beach. Absolutely everyone was in awe of the place and congratulated me for finding it. The kids loved the large room with the sofas and plenty of floor space to play legos and games. All the adults sat together at the huge table and checked out the amazing view. The kitchen and counter space was perfect for cooking and serving food. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed for our large family get together It could not have been better. We will definitely check back for further stays. My daughter and her family live less than a half mile from the house. Our host called to make sure that everything was fine and gave us some great ideas for walks from the house. The scenery is stunning and the sunsets beautiful. Susan Currie

Spectacular Ocean Views

We are three couples who truly enjoyed our weekend at this Moss Beach property. The house was perfect for the six of us. It could have easily accommodated another couple. Being a tri-level house, there were some stairs that led to the bedrooms on the second floor and to the top floor of a of house, all of which are beautifully appointed. The first floor boasted what could be used as a seperate suite. The third floor has a community area with an adequate kitchen, a superb living room with a 75" Smart TV, and an outdoor deck with spectacular ocean views. We definitely appreciated the dumbwaiter to help us move our groceries to the third level kitchen. The property was clean and spaciously. Our host, Rani was wonderful. She was responsive to all needs and inquires. We would definitely rent this home again.

Super sunsets, not far from San Francisco

Great property on the coast. Located in a nice, quiet neighborhood, it was very easy to sleep at night because there was no noise. The beds were SO comfortable. The house was very clean, everything worked well, plus it was nicely decorated, we had such a good stay. Would recommend it to any group from 8 to ten people, including kids. Beautiful sunsets every night that we could see sitting in the kitchen. Everything was as advertised, owner was very friendly and easy to reach. We saw seals, birds, marine creatures on the beach that is walking distance from the house. Remember that it takes minimum 35 minutes to reach the San Francisco downtown area and attractions, therefore, a car is necessary. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to prepare any type of meal...we were even able to bake a homemade dessert. The kids loved having Netflix, the mom liked the washing machine, everyone enjoyed their vacation.

The house had a beautiful view in a nice area close to the ocean and trails. It was a tri-level house with stairs. Most bathrooms were nice, but the one in the Jack and Jill room was very small. Check in process and communication with the host was very good. Very relaxing.

Absolutely Fabulous Ocean View Home

Our stay in this incredible home was absolutely wonderful in every way! The home itself is beautifully decorated, the beds exceptionally comfortable, the linens very high quality and the kitchen well appointed, offering coffee, cooking essentials, etc. But the Pacific Ocean view from large picture windows and the deck was the show stopper! There were three of us who stayed there, and it was so nice to have en suite bathrooms with each of the three bedrooms we stayed in. We thoroughly enjoyed a full day of watching Sunday football from the huge TV, curled up on the living room couch. The house is just a short walk to the beautiful Fitzgerald Marine Preserve. The owners were extremely responsive to our questions and very gracious. Highly recommend this home -- we will be back!

Great Stay For Typically Abled Persons

If your group has mobility issues, you may want to stay somewhere else. We stayed 3 nights at this nicely appointed and perfectly situated beach house, and really enjoyed it! One major issue for us was that many of our family were over 60 or had mobility issues (bad knees, pinched nerves in back, etc). The fact that there are two sets of stairs that must be climbed to reach the ONLY common areas is NOT obvious. The spectacular views are also only available on the 3rd level of the house. There is a dumb waiter for moving small bags of groceries etc to the top floor, which is helpful.. Once you reach each floor the main pathways are wide enough, but even some of the bathrooms might be difficult for a person using a wheelchair or walker. There is one nice little ADU type suite on the ground floor. As mentioned in a previous review, not all parts of this home have been remodeled yet. That being said, the hosts have done a great job tastefully furnishing. Who doesn't love an indoor full length swing that looks out on the ocean? There is no real space outside on the ground floor for people to congregate, but the beach is super close. The outdoor patio on the third level a great place to have morning coffee or sunset cocktails, but it was very clean (lots of debris in the corners. All in all, a great value, if not a bargain - just be sure everyone can do stairs!

Gorgeous Spacious House

This place is perfect for a large family. Lots of space for privacy and wonderful space for getting together with terrific views of the Pacific. Nice hiking trails near the house. Overall this house exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended with not a single complaint. There is even a dumb waiter to get parcels from the ground floor to the top floor where the kitchen is located. On the floor level there is a separate one bedroom apartment.
