Great House for Extended Family Gatherings

We loved staying here! The house was conveniently located and easily accessed. Ocean View Park next to the house was a big plus for our 9 year old granddaughter. There was enough space for 7 family members to spread out downstairs in the living room, music room, dining room, kitchen, and morning room, where our granddaughter slept. We would definitely recommend this property!

Our stay in Half Moon Bay was wonderful!

Coastal Comfort was perfect for our group of six that spent three nights there. The property was exactly as described; close to the beaches, shopping and dining. The owners are very responsive and we enjoyed their recommendations for local things to do. The property is conveniently located but also tucked away just enough for privacy. We enjoyed our stay there very much!
