We were in town for a wedding and loved this location. So glad we didn’t stay in the city..and the drive to wedding festivities was relatively easy from this location. Easy access to hiking, walking, biking. Great breakfast options near by. The home worked well for our group of seven. We had so much fun exploring the area. We never even had the energy to play foosball or ping-pong!

Nice and clean

The property was nice and clean enough room for a family of 10. Its close to the pier food location. We loaded up the kiddos in the wagon and walk to Sam'sfish house. The house is in a prime location to walk almost everywhere no need to drive.The only set back was not enough bath towels so i do recommend to ask for more towels if your staying more then 1 night.Also the kiddos love the trampoline.I like the fact when you have a question they get back to you fast. This was my list time booking Vrbo and I will definitely stay here again.

Clean house but a few issues

The house was clean and modern and stocked with necessities. Decent rooms. But i wouldn’t quite say cozy. Great location. But we did have a few issues. Our hot water heater went out and instead of sending someone out (because it was a weekend and I’m sure they’d have to pay more for a maintenance guy) we ended up spending the day you tubing how to fix it ourselves. Really frustrating. Also, there are cameras everywhereeeeee. It just made us feel like we were in a fishbowl with no privacy. Even all over the backyard.

House needs some updates

Here are the points summarized back to the owner or rental company during our stay. They responded but did nothing to correct any problems during our stay itself. - The kitchen is not fully stocked as promised in your VRBO posting. There was no salt, no pepper, no oil and other staple goods usually expected in this type of rental. - The utensils in the kitchen are worn out, many of the the cups and bowls are chipped and the pots, pans and cooking trays are both worn and were filthy. They had to be scrubbed and thoroughly cleaned before use. - The house would benefit from a doormat or two and a place to put shoes at the front door to help keep things clean. - The washer does not work with the detergent provided as it does not dissolve in the detergent tray, the dryer filter was completely blocked and so the dryer was not operational, the dryer vent was detached and so the garage was filling with damp air (we cleaned the filter and fixed the detached vent temporarily - I recommend you get this properly serviced). - The outside light does not work in the rear of the house and the trampoline is not anchored securely to the ground constituting a safety hazard in our view. - The gopher / mole deterrents placed in the front and back yards are annoying as they make a buzzing noise for most of the night which has kept our light sleepers awake. - Lastly, the rear neighbor has a dog that seems aggressive towards kids while they play in the back yard. The location was great, our kids enjoyed playing with foosball and ping pong. If some updates were made, this would be a nice play to stay with a family.

Nice quiet neighborhood

Overall the house and neighborhood were nice and clean. Close to the harbor area. There were additional rules and forms sent that we don’t normally see. There was a rule about no additional visitors stopping by, even during the day. Usually, visitors can stop by as long as they don’t spend the night. They requested an additional charge in case anything got damaged, which I refused to pay. The bed was very comfortable. The couches were not, with poor seating in the living room. It’s a good place for up to 6 adults and 2 young kids. They did supply some snacks in the kitchen, which was very nice.

First of all, we stayed 2 weeks! There was plenty to do! We hiked (Mavericks, Quarry Park, McNee Ranch), the kids surfed (Tommy Tsunami lessons), and we ate so much seafood! The location of the house is perfect. Easy walk to coffee and of course gelato for the kids. It's wonderful to be there esp. during the weekdays. Musts are cafe mocha at The Press and gelato at Caffe Mexxa Luna. Do not miss La Costanera! We almost did. Princeton by the Sea is a special place and a must-do before word gets out! The house was perfect for us; three bedrooms, and a good size kitchen. For a couple of nights in between, we shopped for dinner at Spangler's market. All fresh produce, meats, and dairy goods. It felt like a home for two weeks. We will miss our HMB adventure and look forward to the next one!

Very nice house, clean, comfortable beds, and well-stocked kitchen. And also dog-friendly! Great location, walking distance to Pillar Point Harbor. Only a block to The Press for a yummy, reasonably-priced breakfast. Our young adult children enjoyed the game room and trampoline. Definitely recommend for a family vacation.

Perfect for couples, family vacations or business travelers. Tranquil, modern decor!

The press cafe is right at the corner, 5mins walk to pillar point, great restaurants and activities nearby, 0.5mile walk to the best seafood restaurant in The Bay Area—Sam's Chowder House, 1.5mile to the famous Mavericks Beach, home to world-class big wave surfers.

We provide everything you may need: from foosball, table tennis, trampoline to high speed WiFi to free parking to comfy beds to fully kitchen & Netflix.

What makes this property unique

Princeton-by-the-Sea is a quiet neighborhood filled with ocean lovers and local shops. Walking distance, you'll find great places for breakfast or lunch like Ketch Joanne or Barbara's Fishtrap, which both have plenty of fresh seafood. For dinner, Mezza Luna is a nice Italian restaurant that is another local favorite.

The biggest attraction of the neighborhood, though, is surely the beach and harbor. You'll see sea lions napping on the docks and paddle-boarders on the weekends.
