From beginning to end we had an excellent experience. Our group of ten 1 three year old had plenty of rooms, beds and bathrooms. John our host was responsive to all our questions before, during and after. We would like to plan our next staycation there again. Being from the Sacramento area in the month of August was just what we needed. And the cool weather, beaches and ocean fulfilled our hopes for a great stay.

Wonderful Retreat in Half Moon Bay

Our family of 7 (2 couples, 3 singles) really enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of space for everyone and great common areas for us to all be together. The kitchen is especially beautiful! We loved spending time on the deck grilling as well. The host was kind and responsive.

We had such a wonderful stay! The home is beautiful spacious and clean. The only thing we noticed was that the bedroom next to the kitchen could use a little more privacy-something like a barn door or sliding door would make it perfect. Overall , we loved it and we would definitely come back. Thank you

Amazing home.

My multi generational family and I were here for a wedding. John’s home was exactly what we were hoping for. Lots of room to spread out. He was exceptionally fast at returning any communications. I would love to come back sometime. The views are amazing. Thank you.

Destination Graduation with extended family

We rented this house for 9 family members so we could attend my daughter’s graduation from college. We wanted to be in walking distance of the beach (kids did Pillar Point surf camp one week!), restaurants, a grocery store, and a coffee spot. This hit all the things! It was spacious and clean and the kitchen was great. We saved a lot of money by cooking at home!

Great communications with our host, John. Clear written instructions and very friendly interactions and immediate responses. When the blender unexpectedly didn’t work, John made sure we had a working one in time to finish dinner prep. This house was great for the week with our family of 4 couples and two kids. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms convenient with 2 of the 3 downstairs. Kitchen stocked with plenty of glassware and appliances. Generous dining table, great for games, too. Deck off the kitchen well suited for relaxed evenings and grilling. Great location, within a short drive or doable walk to restaurants and coastal trail.
