Perfect House

This house was the perfect place for our family to gather, dress for the wedding, relax, unwind and sleep after multiple days of activities at nearby the OVY campgrounds. It was roomy and thoughtfully stocked with books for all interests including for the little one, not to mention the playground next door. The separate area for reading or quiet chatting away from the TV room was very appreciated, plus the beautifully landscaped backyard and sauna. We were so grateful and thrilled with this venue.

Husband's birthday trip

The home is very nice size, and has all the necessary items for a comfortable stay. The back yard is very large and very nicely landscaped. It was so relaxing to sit and look out at. The home is walkable to the beach, which was so fun to do with our family and dogs. So many shells were collected. We sincerely appreciate the owners allowing us to bring our three elderly dogs. It was very comforting to have them with us and enjoy a time away in a beautiful setting!

spacious and comfortable home, close to ocean!

We had a wonderful stay with a short walk (~10 min) to the ocean. The home was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. Beautiful fenced in backyard, felt very safe to let my small dogs roam in the backyard. Beds were very comfortable! Would love to stay here again!

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!

Fun getaway near the ocean

We had a nice getaway weekend here. The house was spacious and clean, in a nice neighborhood that is walking distance from the ocean and downtown shops. The owners were responsive when I had questions. We’d stay here again for sure.

Beautiful house, perfect location and great hosts.

This property is extremely clean, easily accessible and spacious. The hosts were responsive and friendly. The location is a couple blocks to the beach, and close to parks and town. The house was full of amenities that made us feel at home. We would rent this property again and would suggest it for family and friends.

Walking distance to beach & downtown

This spacious property was perfect for 3 couples. We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, big dining room & lovely yard. Having 3 1/2 bathrooms was a big plus. We walked to town or the beach at least once each day. This house truly is in an ideal location.

Romantic and cozy

The place had all the amenities and the sauna was a bonus! We played two days of golf at Halfmoon bay and rested at home relaxing in the sauna, played music and just enjoyed the house. Thx. Only downfall was a response from the owner and reply time was bit slow. Otherwise it was perfect getaway.

Great house for family get-together!

The house is beautiful and comfortable. There was a new microwave in the kitchen, which was a nice surprise. The beds were comfortable and the house was spotless. We (5 adults and 1 child) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved that the coastal hiking trail is only a few short blocks away, and that there is a wonderful park/playground next door. The owners are very responsive by e-mail and we will stay here again if in the area.

Beautiful Home in a Great Location

The house is more spacious than what the pictures on VRBO reveal. Also, the home is conveniently located near many amenities (e.g., the playground is right next door and the beach is only a couple of blocks.) This rental is ideal for families and family gatherings. The owners were kind enough to let me host my mom's 70th birthday dinner party at their place, which were so appreciative for. Thank you, Keith!

Great Location

House is a 5min walk to the bluffs on the coast and walkable distance to the heart of Half moon bay. Kitchen was well stocked. The backyard is super cute. We really appreciated having 3.5 bathrooms. The house is truly RIGHT next to the park. I think the house could benefit from some additional privacy hedges, but it's no big deal
