About this property

Montara Penthouse — Elevated Comfort Above Downtown Half Moon Bay

Located above the heart of historic downtown Half Moon Bay, the Montara Penthouse offers a warm and inviting coastal retreat. This airy, high-ceiling suite features a plush king-size bed, a spa-style bathroom with a relaxing jacuzzi tub/shower combo, and a bright living room complete with a cozy fireplace, flat-screen TV, and comfortable sofa bed—perfect for couples or small groups seeking comfort and charm by the sea. A compact kitchenette with an under-counter refrigerator, single-element black induction cooktop, blender, kettle, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, and basic kitchen essentials. Step outside to your private back deck—an ideal setting to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine while taking in the ocean air and elevated views over the rooftops of downtown Half Moon Bay.

Just outside your door, stroll to award-winning restaurants, artisan bakeries, boutique shops, wine and cheese tasting rooms, and coffee houses. The California Coastal Trail and nearby state beaches—Francis, Venice, and Poplar—are minutes away, ideal for walking, biking, or enjoying the local beaches.

Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve, offering miles of scenic trails through redwoods and meadows with sweeping ocean views.

Only 30 minutes from San Francisco, the Montara Penthouse also provides a convenient base for travelers. With easy access to major Silicon Valley campuses—Google, Meta, Apple—and top universities like Stanford and UC Berkeley, plus fast Wi-Fi for remote work, this coastal escape combines comfort, style, and connectivity.
