Excellent location, between our two favorite places, Pacifica and Half Moon Bay. Next door is our favorite restaurant, The Distillery. You can see and hear the ocean from all the rooms including the large outdoor patio. Entire home was handicap friendly with exception of lower level patio. We were pleasantly greeted with lit fireplace, candles and lavendar difuser (all battery/electronically operated). The beds were comfortable and everything tastefully furnished. This will be our "Go To" vacation rental!

The Moss Beach/Half Moon Bay area was filled with beaches, costal hikes, ocean boating, shopping, quality restaurants and live music to enjoy which we did! WiFi at the property was rarely available throughout our 3 night weekend stay.This property is not exactly as represented in the photos however. It is directly next door to a very busy local restaurant and public parking to the restaurant and seal cove overlook is 10 steps away from the front door. It’s a very heavy traffic area.The inside is adequate and basic. There is a futon extra bed but it has a metal bar throughout the middle of it which was very uncomfortable. The outdoor deck is comfortable and the view is nice but the noise from the restaurant next door permeates the outdoor deck area. The property was a bit unkempt and is showing wear, scuff marks on the walls, piles of weeds and trash left behind outside. There was damp laundry left behind from previous guests in the dryer.When we needed to contact the host, Wifi was unavailable as mentioned earlier in this review.It was a convenient location, The extra toothbrushes in the bathrooms, the extra hair ties, the kitchen coffee/tea tray was thoughtfully stocked. The dining and living areas have plenty of seating space. My group of four adults all agreed that for the price, we will choose a different stay location when we return to the area again.

Birthday celebration
I took my friends here to help me celebrate my 73rd birthday. We all had an amazing time. The house was lovely & ocean views spectacular. The reason for only 4 stars on accuracy of listing is because the photos show the deck & then stairs leading down to the beach. That made me think that there was beach access at the house. The stairs to the beach were a block away so that was a disappointment. It was still close enough to enjoy. Everything else was just about as perfect as could be. The host was delightful & we got to meet her as we were leaving. We would all recommend this beach house to all of our friends & look forward to staying there again.

The Pacific Ocean at your door
This property is perched on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean and its reef break into a protected area and marine sanctuary that is a nursery for seals and their pups. The views, waves crashing and sea mist are ever present. The house is clean and light with a beautiful patio good for seating in the day and the night. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to experience the Pacific, the bike trail and the cute town of Half Moon Bay. The historic Distillery restaurant is right next door which adds color and life and visitors. It opens at noon and closes at 7 PM.

Creatively advertised/photographed
Though we ultimately enjoyed the stay, there were a few disappointments. No gym just exercise equipment in a corner. No lounge chairs or heater outside as pictured. No bar stools as pictured and the stairs leading down to the beach pictured were never found. Though I am a pet lover, I did not like the scent of pet when entering the front door. There was "a little something" in the master bathroom toilet that left a ring and because of the handle on the bathroom door there had to be assistance with opening and closing it, you basically are stuck inside. The entire house could have been cleaner. We ended up cleaning toilets and wiping surfaces before using. Please update your photos.

Beautiful Cypress and Ocean Views
This was even better than the pictures! You walk into the house and the living and dining area is open concept and all windows so all you see is the beautiful cypress trees and ocean view. The backyard is amazing and we lounged by the huge fire pit every night. The area is very quaint and small and several hiking trails literally just out the door. The cypress tree tunnel trail that you can walk to is so beautiful!! I was concerned since it was next to a restaurant but you do not hear any noise. The furniture is dated and the beds are small only full size and as others remarked the fire alarm is very sensitive, thank goodness but husband is tall enough to reset them but i I would stay here again anytime.

Great place to stay!
We’ve rented this house for new year’s for several years and we just love it. It’s got great views, and is really close to the Fitzgerald Marine Preserve with its tidepools, trails, and seals. The backyard has a large patio perfect for lounging with fire pits to keep off the chill. They’ve recently redone the lower yard and it’s beautiful. Can’t wait to go back!

Fantastic views, awesome trails with a sprinkling of California history
What an incredible find! Recommend highly if you’re looking to just sit back, take in gorgeous views of the Pacific directly from the living room or go for easy but beautiful hikes within walking distance.Highlights :1) Sunsets over the Pacific viewed from the deck or living room2) Right next door to Moss beach distillery that has some great food and interesting prohibition era history3) Short walk from Fitzgerald marine reserve and several gorgeous trails.

Great views
We had gorgeous views, a beautiful deck to sit out and watch the sunset. The only thing we noticed is that the oven door was coming apart. The lights in the second bedroom were not working. And we needed to be really super careful whenever we cooked anything because the alarm went off when we tried to make toast and cook hashbrowns in the morning also when we baked our lasagna, not sure why it went off there was no smoke there was nothing that was burning or even close to burning All in all. It was a great weekend we would come back.

Construction Work
They were having construction work in the backyard with heavy equipment. So one full day we could not use the outside. We were not told about this and spent hours on the phone dealing with this. Owner gave us a $200 refund, which didn't even cover the cost of one day.
