This place was beautiful, exactly as advertised. I traveled across country to have surgery in San Francisco. It was a perfect location away from the city but wasn’t a far drive at all. The neighborhood was very safe to walk around. The views beautiful. The kitchen perfect to make meals. All of the cooking supplies worked well. The rooms were spread out for privacy. Beds comfortable. My boyfriend, mom and aunt stayed and we all loved it!

Beautiful property, exactly as listed. We loved the close proximity to hiking trails, Montara State Beach, and Half Moon Bay for seaside dining. We are certain we will book this property again.

Pretty property
The stay was nice. The stairs to get inside were incredibly steep and difficult for my grandmother to manage. We also had sent the owners a message asking to extend our stay another night, online it showed there was availability and we never got a response. Overall though it was nice, just outside of the city, beds were comfortable, everything was modern and very nice. The bedroom downstairs doesn’t feel like a basement bedroom which was nice.

Fantastic!
This home was beautiful, immaculate, and exactly as described. The bedrooms are well situated so everyone has a space away from everyone else. Kitchen is well stocked and the view from the deck is fantastic. You can hear the waves! We had a little issue with the power going out (in the area, not because of the home) one of the days, and Andreia was incredibly helpful and immediately responsive, including sending a maintenance person over to check on us.

Perfect getaway!
My partner and I and two pups needed a nearby getaway and this was the perfect spot! Close enough to us in the east bay, but far enough to feel like you’re on vacation. The space is as advertised, clean with lots of room to spread out or host a good sized party. The ocean view trails nearby were perfect for easy walks with the pups. The beach is the best beach I’ve been to in the Bay Area, it’s clean and the sand is smooth and falls off easily. The views and sunset were gorgeous to relax and watch. Views from the property were spectacular as well and if you opened the window or sat outside you can enjoy the ocean sounds. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Home
The house was perfect for our group. Nice open floor plan made it feel very spacious. Location is within walking distance of the beach and many hiking trails along the bluff. Property manager was quick to respond and bring us a new coffee maker when we realized the one in the kitchen was broken. The only negative for me was the King bed is very, very firm. I like firm but I would consider this more like hard. Other than that, our stay was perfect.

An oasis for relaxing with ocean breezes
This house was exactly as pictured. It was very comfortable for a full house (8 adults) including grandparents. Well stocked to prepare family meals. The walk to the beach is a half mile, so be prepared. Driving to the beach for those unable to handle the walk down/back up hill is easy. The location was cool in July which was a great respite from heat in other places. This is highly recommended if you are looking to relax.

Beautifully designed, modern home in Montara, close to beach access (walking & a short drive) in a nice neighborhood. Good view from the living area and deck and quiet enough in the evenings to hear the crashing waves at the nearby beach 😀 Good amenities in the home and wonderfully furnished and appointed.

We sincerely enjoyed our stay at this home. The layout is spacious and there are stunning views overlooking the ocean. The master bedroom and bathroom were great for my father’s privacy. We had plenty of space with the second upstairs bedroom and bathroom, but having the downstairs room and bathroom really gave us more breathing room for the four members of our party.

Fantastic view, great location.
The house is just as shown in the photos, and the view is fantastic! We loved the layout of the home - large gathering area, smaller side room with a tv, two bedrooms on the main floor at opposit ends of the house and one downstairs, giving everyone some privacy. Quiet neighborhood and a beautiful yard. The location is convenient to San Fransisco, towns and sights to the south and east, with lots of hiking trails close by. We hope to return the next time we visit family in the area. The property manager was quick to respond to our questions.

Great place for family
The house was very spacious for all 6 of us to enjoy. There was plenty of room for all of us to enjoy the kitchen and dine together and the deck view was picturesque. We used the grill a couple of nights along with the fully stocked kitchen that had everything we needed to cook meals. We had one issue on Sunday morning when we woke there was no hot water for part of the house. After a quick phone call someone was there within 15 minutes to take care of it for us and was very kind in telling us things about the area and answering any questions we had. The neighborhood is very quiet and it only takes about 15 minutes to be into San Francisco from there. I would definitely stay here again!

Spectacular location near Montara State Beach
The property was immaculate, updated with a great location just a few blocks from the beach. A nice regional park two blocks away was a convenient place to walk the dogs and enjoy the amazing views, flora and fauna. Great photos. Kitchen and pantry fully stocked which made it easy to rustle up delicious food for breakfast and dinner. We had a great time playing ping pong 🏓 in the game room (garage). The deck is large and offers ocean views. The dogs loved vacationing with us. The yard is perfect for dogs 🐕. I was able to setup agility equipment and practice 😀 with my dogs. The only improvement would be to add a sports package on the television. At the time of our visit, bay area sports teams, Giants, A's and Warriors, were all at the top. We were thoroughly grateful for the escape from the central valley heat. The hosts made it easy to get the most out of our stay with excellent tips and instructions. Recommend highly.
