A great place to stay, even on a rainy weekend…..

The weather was rainy and windy, but I couldn’t think of a better place to stay and enjoy the coast! The radiant heated floors, fireplace, deep soak bathtub, loft with 180 degree views, and well equipped kitchen made our stay wonderful in so many ways. We are thankful, and look forward to coming back again.

We stayed at the Captains Quarters for a long weekend while attending my nieces wedding at Mavericks House. This location was incredibly convenient to all things wedding, all weekend long and we are really looking forward to staying here again sometime! There are restaurants within walking distance and walks along the beach nearby. The property itself was extremely clean, bright and welcoming. The kitchen is very well equipped (and huge) and the beds are comfy! The owner/management was excellent at communicating with us if we had any questions during our stay. Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing Place!

My friends and I stayed to celebrate our 50th birthdays and we loved everything about the place! It was clean, well decorated, the perfect location and there were nice touches and amenities throughout. The owner was super kind and responsive, and was really flexible about our check-in/out time. Overall, an excellent experience!

Perfect, quiet, access to beach and town

Yes! We love traveling with our dogs. This was the perfect place in the best location! We took the dogs for many walks around town and on the beach. Many places to stop and have cocktails or beer and have our dogs with us on the many outdoor patios. Beautiful, comfortable home!

Great Special Retreat

The house is lovely, stocked kitchen. Only minuses are one bathroom and ocean view is only from the sides. Hotel is right in front of deck so no straight on ocean view. But still enjoyed our stay and would go back again.

Great place for a family of 4-6

We had a great stay here over 3 days. We even brought our dog with us which was what made us stay here. Beds were comfy. Everything was very clean. Plenty of towels and kitchen supplies. We ate at the Old Princeton Landing which was about a 3 minute walk and went to the dawn patrol coffee place literally around the corner in the morning. Loved the ease of it all! Dog friendly beach just a few minutes walk away. Highly recommend!

Staying at Captain's quarters, Half Moon Bay

This is a great rental. The owner was great, easy to communicate with and very responsive. The view from the deck is amazing, the kitchen, dining room and living room layout was awesome. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need including a lot spices, salt and pepper grinders, etc. All the beds were very comfortable, master bedroom and lofts have plenty of space. All pictures for this listing are very accurate except the view is more spectacular than the pictures on the site. Location s also great as we were walking distance to the Maverick's House (wedding ceremony) and to several nearby restaurants and bars. We highly recommend this rental. We plan on staying here again.

NorCal Beach Getaway

The Captains Quarters was a perfect getaway for the weekend. The entrance to the place is a little different but once we got inside, we were blown away. My entire family of 8 adults slept, relaxed, ate, and showered very comfortably. The roomy loft area with 3 large beds was great. The extra 1/2 bathroom downstairs that was provided really came in handy too. We were impressed with not only the location and roominess of the property but also the cleanliness and quality. The bedding, bathroom and kitchen appliances, cookware and dinnerware were in perfect condition. Everything was so fresh and brand new, there was a lot of thought and effort put into accommodating guests. The owner Ab was extremely accommodating and helpful. We thank him for his flexibility and easiness to communicate with. I'd recommend this wonderful place to any family wanting to experience Half Moon Bay, California.

captains quarters indeed!

we booked this rental for the boy half of our wedding party! our wedding was a friday and we booked the place wed - sat for the the groomsman to stay (this location was next door to our venue). we ended up needing to book an extra night (tues) and ab was more than accommodating! was thoughtful and communicative and even dropped off some bagels for the gang. we did have the entire wedding party over for dinner thursday and were a bit loud, which caused a bit of an issue. we responded promptly to his concerns and it felt like things were resolved. the space itself is gorgeous, with natural light and more than enough space. looks out on the water, seamless to get in an out of, and ideal location. would recommend this vrbo to any responsible, respectful group (:

The Captain's Quarters exceeded our expectations. The layout and design of the house is perfect to take advantage of the location which has wonderful views to the harbor and surrounding hills. The home although large and spacious feels very warm and welcoming. We didn't want to leave.
