Peace and quiet close to the ocean

We needed a three day break from our home during construction and though it was only 30 minutes away from San Francisco, staying here reminded me of how lovely this part of the coast is! The house was perfect - comfy and well equipped, on a quiet street, with a fantastic grocery store nearby, and all the beauty and restaurants of the nearby Princeton by the Sea and Pacific Ocean 5 minutes away. It was a lovely getaway and we plan to return.

Half Moon Bay

This is one of the cleanest vacation rental I’ve ever been in, if not the cleanest and I’ve been going through VRBO for over 15 years. All the linens had the nicest scent. Very subtle, earthy. Many time it’s to bleachy, which can set off headaches for me. The kitchen was well stocked and the fridge was immaculate. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely return.

Charming pied à terre

Very comfortable bed, & I do know since I have severe back issues. The only issues would be the stove wasn’t great and the dishwashing situation also leaves to be desired. Apart from that, it’s a wonderful location, beautiful light and sweetly decorated. The rules are a bit severe, I had a friend come to visit just for a few hours, we took a long walk, but I had to tell the hosts for fear of being evicted. They must’ve had a bad experience with guests in the past. But all in all, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back.

Cute Cottage by the Harbour

This is a cute cottage by the harbour. Plus, the residence is pet friendly which allowed us to bring our dog along. A few minor minuses. Back patio door was hard to open and close. The bathroom fixtures did not seem correctly installed and the sink didn't drain well. But, overall a wonderful time.
