Beautiful house

We went with a group of adults to celebrate a birthday. The house want a disappointment at all. It was really nice and the location was great. So nice to walk out the front door or go in the balcony and see the ocean. We were able to walk to most places which made it nice. Wish the only thing was check in time a bit earlier as 5 was late and that’s not a normal check in for houses from my experience of renting through VRBO. All and all we would rent here again.

This house was great for our multigenerational family of 11. Great views, clean and newly remodeled. The host was super nice and communicative. Only note is that the beds were super firm foam so if that’s not your jam, you may have a tough time getting comfy. Overall, I Highly recommend.

Awesome property for large group

We had an amazing stay at this property. The house was very, very clean, and as advertised. We had 9 people and it had space for several more. The location is close to a shopping center and coffee shop, easy parking, and a beautiful view of the ocean. We found the kitchen well stocked for cooking for a group and it was nice to have the backyard space for kids to play. We were lucky to have great weather but the house stayed very warm in the evenings and during the night. Modern and renovated bathrooms upstairs. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others!

Relaxing vacation

The house was clean and roomie. There was plenty of space for our extended family (8 adults, 6 kids). The family rooms and dining rooms were large enough to accommodate all of us. The location was great. We had bay views and an easy walk to the harbor with cafes and restaurants. The kids loved the game room in the garage which kept them busy and off their electronics. It was an easy drive into San Francisco for a day trip.

It really is as beautiful as the pictures!

We live in this area and get a VRBO for family whenever they come to visit, so we have several local experiences to which we can compare. This is definitely the best VRBO we've had yet. When we initially had a little trouble getting in, the owners were quick to respond and solve the problem. We scratched some items off the sight-seeing list just to stay and hang out at the rental. The kids enjoyed the ping-pong table and basketball hoop in the garage as well as the nooks upstairs and down in which to curl up with a book. The kitchen has nice new appliances. All in all a great experience. We definitely recomment this place!

Beautiful Home with Great Views

Stayed in this house for three nights with girlfriends from work. Beautiful house, recently remodeled and refurnished, with wonderful decorator touches. Many unique and comfy little spaces to sit and talk, with coffee or wine. The house is centrally located among the many activities available in the Half Moon Bay Area. Highlights were shopping in town, and a visit to Andreotti Family Farms to pick sunflowers and see multiple varieties of pumpkins. We enjoyed several meals at the many nearby restaurants, even though the kitchen is well equipped with all appliances and cookware you could need. Wonderful view of the bay and Pillar Point Harbor from the upstairs sitting area. Thanks for a great stay.

Perfect Half Moon Bay Retreat

We very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home in Half Moon Bay. The home was spacious, clean, and pleasant, featuring great gathering spaces, private spaces, and beautiful views from the upstairs rooms. The balconies also enabled us to enjoy the ocean views from our quiet neighborhood perch. The kitchen was fully equipped and easily met our family’s needs. The location was in easy walking distance to a very nice market, Spangler’s Market & Deli (offers a full range of locally sourced produce, meats, seafood, and groceries – everything we needed) and the Harbor (kayaking, restaurants, oceanside walking, running, and biking path). The hosts were responsive and graciously accommodated our request for an early check-in. The check-in and check-out processes were seamless, exactly what you would want at the open and close of your stay. We would most definitely stay here again!

Less than expected

The good.There were some very nice aspects. The house was large and beds comfortable. Views of the coast from the second story were gorgeous. Stove and microwave nice. Communication excellent.Issues.Downstairs toilet required plunging from the minute we arrived. Sometimes it took 20 plunges to get the toilet cleared. Reported to host and no action. Plunger was located next to toilet.Dishwasher worked intermittently. We could get it to work after several starts but never knew how. Reported to host but no action due to holiday.Tiny charcoal grill. Had to take burgers in house to finish on stove. Basketball game electronics did not work.5 pm check-in. We offered to pay their requested 50 an hour to get in at 3 pm but early did not happen. Do not stay here if you have young children that need dinner before 8pm on the first day.Refrigerator did not have filtered water. There was a filtered container in frig.Host requires you to send selfie picture with ID as part of selfie similar to that required in Identity thieft cases. I felt uncomfortable providing this and wish I knew this up front before booking. I blacked out DL number.

A great location and beautiful home

We had a great stay. The home is well decorated and clean. The beds are comfy, with lots of towels and toiletries, and gorgeous bathrooms upstairs. The views upstairs were so lovely and I enjoyed just sitting and taking it in. We would be happy to visit again! The only things I would say could improve it would be to have a tv downstairs… we don’t watch much tv so it wasn’t a huge issue, but also avoided watching it upstairs because we didn’t want to wake the kiddos. And the yards could use some tlc. Also, for people who don’t know the area, you can hear the El Granada fog horn from some of the bedrooms. It didn’t bother us that much tho. The management service was great to work with and communicated well and in a timely manner. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to stay again.

5 PM Check in, or Pay More

We rented this nearly 3,000 Sq. Ft. 4BR, 3BA home near (NOT in) Half Moon Bay for a very hefty price (over Six Hundred Fifty Dollars for each of 2 nights), Monday - Wednesday of Thanksgiving week. That price included a rather large cleaning fee. There were 5 adults and 3 children in our group. We asked if we could check in earlier, considering it would be dark outside by 5 PM, and a 5 PM check-in was very odd for any vacation or hotel rental. We were told we’d be charged an additional $50 to check in at 4 PM, AND that would be determined the day of check-in by when the cleaning people were finished! We passed the home a couple of times during the afternoon of our check in day, only to find no one on the premises and didn’t hear from the owner/manager until after 5 PM. Though not in Half Moon Bay, (closer to Princeton) the inside of the home was spacious and clean (except for the oven, which was greasy and dirty). Bedding was nice, but we were each allotted one large bath towel, and I never did locate any extra’s. The games in the home were enjoyed by all of us. Though the front porches had furniture on them, there were no cushions and we found cigarette butts on the porch floors and in the yard. The backyard patio was spacious and had nice furniture, but the cushions were stained and had a lot of debris on them so we were unable to use them.
