Fantastic property and location. Easy access to the city and the coastal highways. Perfect stay for six adults, this property had plenty of space and the hot tub was a hit.
Heat downstairs where most bedrooms were did not work, but space heaters were found. Yard maintenance came early Friday morning during our stay which was extremely unwelcome. Kitchen was extremely well appointed for cooking our Thanksgiving favorites.

We truly appreciate your kind words about the kitchen and are happy to know it worked well for preparing your Thanksgiving favorites. Thank you again for staying with us 😊
Beautiful and very comfortable home with stunning views! Perfect home for our girl’s getaway of five. We enjoyed the home so much we barely left the house. Home was extremely clean, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, and seamless arrival/ departure. Our host was outstanding who promptly answered all our questions. All of us were so pleased with our stay and will likely return again.

We're thrilled you had such a wonderful girls' getaway! It's the best compliment when guests enjoy the home so much. We're glad everything was comfortable and that the views kept you entertained. Thanks for the kind words, and we'd absolutely love to have you and your group back anytime!
We enjoyed the house and the local trail to the nature preserve. We had 4 adults and 2 kids and we were very comfortable. Beautiful house with many amenities. Close to shopping and dining at local places. Owners are very communicative and helpful. Easy check in and check out.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was great and exceeded our expectations. The views and proximity to the water was better than what the pictures showed. Great property and I would recommend it to other families.
Beautiful home with gorgeous views of the ocean and pelicans flying by. My family was so impressed; we loved the location. Walked to Moss Beach Distillery for lunch one day through the Cypress trees. Beautiful. Thank you for allowing us to stay here.
Hello! We are thrilled to hear you had a great experience at our rental and found it well put together. Your positive feedback is what motivates us to continue providing the best service to our guests. We are looking forward to hosting you again in the future.

Nice home. Beach by house is closed which should have been disclosed. Made value less. Nice view from lounge and well equipped kitchen. Please note you have to carry groceries upstairs as kitchen is upstairs. Great hot tub.

Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the view from the lounge and found our kitchen well-equipped. Your feedback regarding the closure of the beach is appreciated. We can direct you to alternative routes to reach the beach.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moss Beach. Even though it was cold, it was a good excuse to enjoy the view and the hot tub. We would certainly re-visit this VRBO home.

We're thrilled that you would consider revisiting our VRBO home and hope to welcome you back soon. Thank you again for choosing Moss Beach and we look forward to hearing from you in the future.
This home is in a quiet neighborhood with great ocean views. We wanted a home a little outside of San Fransico to get away and relax and this was a great choice to stay when not out sightseeing. Plenty of room for family and located near woods & ocean. Communication with owner was great & very accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

We have stayed at many places I must say this place felt like home.They had things set up like I was walking into my own home.The view from the deck was incredible.Close by the title pools was the best in all of California
We had a lovely stay! The house was so clean, and we appreciated it being well stocked with basic necessities!! It was easy for us to enjoy simple meals with the kitchen supplies. We loved the patio deck as well as the hot tub was a highlight in the cool evenings. Thank you for a great time
I love hearing the waves at night and the serene ocean view. The house was cleaned and well stocked especially in the kitchen. The house was a-little cold at times but I appreciated the heaters that was an option.
I had a great stay . I look forward staying again and again!

This house is as advertised - amazing ocean view and just steps away from the nature preserve and walking trails! Safe and quiet neighborhood away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Grocery stores and many restaurants are just a 5-10 minute drive away. Master bedroom, kitchen and family room are up on second floor and 3 guest bedrooms share a bathroom on the lower floor. The hot tub was clean, well maintained and easy to access.
I live in the Bay Area and booked this stay for a quick getaway with friends to celebrate my 50th birthday. It was perfect! It is clean and has a great location, amazing views, and tons of space. The beds were very comfortable there is plenty of room for 7 adults. I would highly recommend it. All my friends wanted the info to book their own getaways. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
This was the perfect location to bring 6 high schoolers to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday. Hiking, hot tub, lunch at the iconic Pacifica Taco Bell, beach walks, beautiful views and a great kitchen to cook in. Cozy, well appointed and perfect for small groups or families. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.
This house was amazing! Beautiful in every way! Came over with my mom, daughter and her friends for her 13th birthday! Girls had a great time hanging out and relaxing in the hot tub! Kitchen was fully stocked! Gorgeous views! Would come back again!!!
The property was exactly what I was looking for, it actually exceeded my expectations. Not only did it look clean and tidy, it smelled clean. The only suggestion I have is that some of the windows failed, this happens with double paned windows, so that there was condensation between the panes making it difficult to see clearly through them. The weather was such that we just opened the windows and doors.
Everything was beyond our expectations, it wasn’t only clean but very comfortable. Slept like a log. Just the atmosphere the neighborhood everything it’s for no words you have to go on experience it it was magical. Thank you so much to our hosts. They were amazing.

We were four friends from high school who were celebrating our 75th birthdays this year. The beach house was perfect for us, as it had everything we needed to relax and catch up with each other. It was super easy check in, and after having a wonderful lunch at the Ritz Carlton the first day, all of our meals were at the house. We bbq'd, walked along the coast, enjoyed wine on the balcony and had a great time. Andreia was friendly and easy to communicate with both in checking in and out. Would definitely go back!
